Inside Ina room.
Ina was laying on the bed anxious, she had asked Damien to tell her family on her behalf, she knew that it was wrong to do that, but she had to because she doesn't have the courage to do that, she had put him into a very difficult situation, but she was sure that no one other than Damien would know how to speak to her parents.
The pain had reduced after she took her medicine, but she was very tired and exhausted and couldn't move her body. She wondered if Damien would say yes if she asked him to spend the night here.
Hearing the door being unlocked, Ina looked in the direction of the door and saw Damien entering.
"How did it go?" Ina asked as she looked at him.
Damien took off his blazer and walked towards the bed sitting next to her.
"Your mother took it badly, but I think that she will accept it soon. On the other hand, I think your father will have a bad time accepting it." Damien replied and she nodded her head.
He knew her mother is a very strong woman while her father is a very sensitive person, she hoped that he would be okay.
"Do you think that God hates me?" Ina asked as she looked up at Damien with her eyes full of tears but she didn't cry.
He pulled her into his arms and kissed her plump lips until she became breathless.
Damien pulled away and looked into her green eyes and replied.
"How could he hate a beautiful being like you."
His words made her smile despite the sadness that she was feeling.
The sudden knock on the door Interrupted the peaceful moment that they were sharing, Damien stood up and opened the door.
Her parents were standing at her room entrance.
"I will be downstairs." Damien said, giving Ina and her parents the space to talk.
The news was very shocking for her mother and father and they needed to tell their daughter why she hadn't told them until now.
Her parents sat on either side of the bed.
"Are you alright now?" Her mother was the first one to speak.
Ina nodded her head and felt her mother running her fingers through her hair.
Ina reached for her father's face and cupped the side of it and made him look at her.
"You know I will live, it's not like I'm going to die-." She didn't get the chance to finish her words when her father pulled her into his arms hugging her gently as he started to cry.
Her father was crying, it was the first time she had seen him cry.
At least he is not keeping his emotions inside him, Ina thought as she wrapped her arms around him.
Damien who was standing outside the room sighed as he walked towards the stairs, he knew how hard it is to watch an important person suffer, he has been watching her suffer for three months now and all he could do is watch, nothing more.
"Why haven't you told us?" Her mother asked in a calm tone after they calmed down a little.
Ina turned to look at her mother and replied.
"Because I didn't know how I had a hard time believing what happened, I tried many times, when you came to visit on Christmas eve when I arrived here, but I just couldn't."
"There has to be a treatment, nothing is incurable in the medical field now." William spoke after being silent for a long time now.
Ina sighed and closed her eyes, she shouldn't have let Damien leave the room.
"There isn't, we tried to look for one but it's simply there is no medicine or surgery that can treat it." Ina spoke explaining, she was very exhausted and just wanted to rest.
Eleanor noticed her daughter state and felt sorry for her, now she understood many things that were happening.
"We should let her rest now, William, we will speak about this more tomorrow." Eleanor said as she stood up.
Her parents left the room and Ina placed her head on the pillow hoping that it won't be another sleepless night like the previous night's.
...
At Owen and Katherine apartment.
Katherine was sitting in the living room with Zeus laying his head on her lap as she stroked his back gently and he seemed to like it.
"He seems to be more clingy these days." Owen said as he came out of the kitchen, putting the food on the table.
Katherine laughed when he felt Zeus put his hands on her lap as he was telling her to not go and leave him.
The whole clinging situation started after Owen and Katherine started have sex, Owen just couldn't stop himself from touching Katherine whenever they were together, they would share a small kiss and it would lead them to the bedroom and of course, he had to lock the bedroom so Zeus wouldn't enter and all of this resulted with Zeus spending less time with Katherine.
"I think he might be feeling lonely." Katherine said as she continued to stroke his back.
Owen walked towards her and whispered in her ear.
"He feels that way because of you, your loud moans made the poor dog feel lonely." He pulled away and walked back towards the kitchen leaving behind a very flustered Katherine.
She sighed placing her hand on her heart, just a small whisper from him was able to turn her on, how embarrassing!
...
Canada, at a small Cafe.
A guy named Daniel entered the cafe and ordered his usual coffee and sat alone in his usual seat.
The female workers looked at him and sighed, the guy had been coming here for over two years and he hadn't spared a glance at them.
Daniel siped from his coffee as he looked outside the window at the breathtaking view.
His phone rang and he picked it up.
"Owen." Daniel replied.
"It's been a long time, I was surprised when I saw your call." Owen said.
Daniel chuckled and said.
"I have been thinking about taking a long break and coming back." Daniel said and he siped from his coffee.
"That will be good, when are you planning to come back?" Owen asked him.
"I don't know exactly, I have to wait for my brother to return so he can take my place in the company." Daniel replied.
"Hmm, okay, let me know when you are going back." Owen said.
"I called Damien yesterday but he didn't reply, is everything alright?" Daniel asked.
Owen sighed as he replied.
"He is dealing with many things right now, I will tell everything once you come here."
"Okay, I will call you after I arrange everything." Daniel said before he hung up the phone.
He sighed as he continued to look outside, he has been delaying his return for five years now, he wanted to go back and check on a certain someone that he has been thinking about for years.
Daniel smiled as he remembered that person's smile, he couldn't wait long to get back.
...
Two weeks later, At Ina's parent's house.
Two weeks have gone since Ina's parents found out about her sickness. It was hard to accept in the first days, but they slowly started to accept the truth.
Ins hasn't experienced any relapses in the past two weeks, she had spent a week in her parent's house after that she went back with Damien to stay in his apartment.
Nora had come to visit them this morning as Ina called her and asked her to come.
"How are you feeling now?" Nora asked Ina.
"I'm fine, it's replaced, it will come and go, hopefully, I won't experience any strong relapse soon." Ina replied as she looked at Damien who was reading the newspaper.
"Hopefully."
"The table is ready." The maid informed them.
"Thank you." Ina said as she stood up.
Damien stood up following Ina but stopped when he noticed that Nora didn't follow them.
Nora stood up but she suddenly felt strong dizziness that made her sit back.
"Nora, are you alright?" Damien asked worried as he walked back towards her followed by Ina.
Nora messaged her forehead and nodded her head.
"I'm fine, I think I'm a bit dizzy because I haven't eaten until now." Nora said not wanting to worry them about her.
"Are you sure? your face looks pale." Ina asked as Damien helped her to stand up.
"I'm okay, I will be better after I eat something." Nora assured them.
"I will take you to the doctor after breakfast." Damien said.
"No, no, there is no need for that, I'm fine." Nora said as she sat down on the chair of the dining room.
Ina looked at Nora who suddenly became scared when Damien said that he took her to the doctor.
Why did you react this way? she wondered.
