Chapter 79 - The Liar and The Bitch (2)

April was released after the next two days. Unfortunately, Alex had to return back to England since he left unexpectedly. Also, he wanted April to stay longer in the US with her parents.

Ever since the day that April had confronted Colm in the hospital, she had never seen him again. Only his parents came by.

The day that April went back home with her parents, Alex flew back to England. April was understanding enough and she didn't want to keep Alex from his job. Also, she had already guessed that Alex had already speak with her parents.

Although they didn't ignore him when she was still in the hospital, they weren't exactly warm to him either. This caused for April to be anxious.

When she got home, Sky was excited to see his mother again. He knew that his mother fainted and was sent to the hospital. He wanted to visit her, but his grandparents said no.

"Mommy!" He ran to her with his arms open.

April kneeled down and welcomed her son into her embrace. "Baby! How are you? Did you miss mommy?"

"Yes. I miss mommy so much!" Sky snuggled into his mother's chest.

April kissed her son's forehead. "I miss you too." She whispered.

Seeing the two's sweet moment. Ted sighed and Annie smiled. Not long after, Ted spoke. "April, Your mother and I needs to talk to you."

April closed her eyes briefly and got up. She carried Sky with her and sat down on the couch. "Is it about Alex?"

"Dear, let Sky go play with the nanny first and then will talk." Annie gave a signal to the maid.

"No. Sky needs to hear it to. He might be young, but he already understand most things." April gulped down, holding Sky tightly in her lap.

"Are you rebelling to your mother now?!" Ted yelled to his daughter.

Sky was startled and hid in April's chest.

"Dear, calm down. There's a child in the room." Annie pulled Ted's sleeve, to get his attention.

Ted harrumphed and sat down on his recliner. Annie could only sighed and sat down beside April.

"April, is it true? Alex and you?" Annie looked at her daughter.

"Yes. I love him mom. Sky and I loves him. Ain't that right baby?" April slightly withdrew Sky from her, so she could see his face.

Sky nodded and looked at his grandmother. "Sky loves daddy."

Hearing her son's answer, April pinched his cheeks.

"Mother, he is divorcing his wife. I know you are worried for us, for me. But if you think about it, this illness of mine; I don't think it would ever go away. Might as well be with someone who I want to be, right?" April held her mother's hand.

"Everything is a risk in life. For once, I wanna do something I want. With him in our lives, I was able to look forward to my future. It's the first time that I feel happy being alive.

I know it's unfair for you guys, but that's how I felt. Don't think that I wasn't thankful for you guys. It's hard to explain, just that my brain isn't working right than it should be.

Before I had my son, every night was a nightmare. It's torture and painful. Many times, I wanted to kill myself because I wasn't thinking right nor was I happy and content.

When I first met Alex, he was like the sun in my rainy and cold world. Even though I couldn't have him before, I started to get contented that at least I have our son. Having Sky in my life, It wasn't that dark anymore nor was it cold. I became more thankful. But no matter how thankful I was, my brain was still broken and irrefixable.

But when Alex showed up and asking us to come to his world. Call me selfish, but I agreed without reservations. Getting closer to him, I feel warm and comfortable. Being next him, I could sleep better and I was able to laughed more.

When he confessed to me, I felt that I was the happiest woman on earth. I could forget all the things that happened to me on the past. Like none of those happened to me. Can you see it now mother? 

He is my lifeline. Although I suffer now, who could say that I won't suffer without him as well? I've been through multiple doctors, yet I still have nightmares and random anxiety attacks.

If I'm going to be like this forever, I'd rather be next to him. Please mom, dad? I seldom ask for what I want. I want him. I want to be next to him."

This time she didn't cry, but Annie could see the sadness in April's eyes. Her daughter was confessing her real emotions to them. How long has it been since she opened up to them? How long has it been since their daughter asked them for something that she really wants to do?

Annie sighed and looked at her husband. Ted was rubbing his forehead while leaning on his knees.
