Chapter 83
Ethan POV
It’s been two weeks since I found out what happened to Agatha and our child. I often visit her at Belle’s house. Sometimes I also sleep there so that I can watch over her and at least make up for what I did to her.
I admit that those days were not easy for me especially the first week of my stay here because Agatha don’t want to see me or even get close to her, she was very traumatized and depressed because of me but I didn’t give up on her I know it’s not easy for her and she needs me.
Belle is with me on the veranda now because we were talking about business while Zey was in Agatha’s room. As we were talking we heard a voice that seemed to be arguing, Belle and I looked at each other and quickly went to the room.
When we got there we saw Agatha crying as Zey was taking the doll away from her.
“You have to accept that your child is gone! This is only a toy, a doll and not your child!” Zey shouted.
“N-no! Give me back my child.” crying Agatha’s promise.
“No! I shouldn’t have given it to you in the first place if I knew you would be like that! As long as you don’t accept that your child is dead, you won’t get well. You need to accept the truth for you to be healed and move on.” Zey’s tough promise.
“What is happening here?” Belle asked.
“Zey is taking my daughter Belle.” Agatha complained.
“This is the right thing to do, you can’t move on if we let you believe yourself in something that’s gone. We love you and you’re important to us so it hurts us to see you like that! We know that what you’re going through now is not easy but I hope you help yourself too, we can’t just let you be like this. It’s been many months already, Agatha. ” Zey said and walked out of the room with the doll.
Belle approached Agatha who was crying and hugged her as she laid her down. I went out to follow Zey. I caught her leaning to the side of the wall while crying.
“You shouldn’t have done that, Zey, you should at least talk to her. ” I said.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
She looked at me. “This is the right thing to do Ethan, That’s what Agatha needs because if that lasts longer she might go completely insane. We can’t tolerate her and we should help her.” her defense.
“But what if it will affect her more?” I asked
“She should learn to accept the truth. I bought this for her when I was in another country because she loves it but I won’t let her to replace your died child to a doll.. ”
I didn’t answer and just kept quiet. Soon after, Belle also came out of the room.
“How is she?” I ask.
“She’s still looking for the doll.” Belle’s short promise.
I sighed and went inside, somehow now I was able to get closer to Agatha.
I caught her sniffing as she bent down. “Do you want to eat?” I asked her.
“Ethan get our child, Zey will take the child somewhere.” she whispered softly just enough for me to hear.
I moved the chair closer to her but there was also a gap because she still didn’t want me to be close to her.
“Get well first then we’ll get it from Zey.” I promise.
She looked at me. “Really?” she said.
“Yes, we’ll get the baby back. Just get well. Okay?” I said.
She nodded and smiled a little. I just hope she’ll get better so we can talk properly. It’s impossible now because I might trigger her emotions again. Even though I want to kiss and hug her I can’t do it yet. It’s enough for me to talk to her like this and she didn’t pushing me away anymore.
“I bought some of your favorite chocolates, do you want to eat?” I asked her.
“Really? A lot?”
I smiled at her and stood up to get some. There is a mini refrigerator here in the room. I took three different chocolates and handed them to her.
She happily opened it and started eating.
“Ethan, where is the woman in your house?” she suddenly asked me.
“She has already left.” I answered her.
“Why?” she asked, there were days she knew Melissa and there were days she didn’t.
“Let’s not talk about that for now, when you’re good then we’ll talk properly.” I said and smiled at her.
“Am I going home already?”
I looked at her because of what she asked. “Do you want to go home?”
“But I’m scared, because I might be left alone in that house again. Then I don’t have anyone with me, I’m always alone. He leaves me.”
“W-who is he?” I asked her.
“That man I love, he’s always leaving me. He’s taking care of someone else so I’m the only one at home.”
I avoided looking at her because of what she said, because there are times when she is like this. She thought I was someone else. Sometimes she knows me as the man she loves and sometimes she doesn’t.
“I promise when you get home again you will never be alone, you will always be with someone and he will never leave you again.” I promised her.
She didn’t answer and continued eating, later I will talk to Belle and I will bring Agatha home, maybe it will help her recover and so that I can get her back.
