Chapter 23: Confession

MELISSA QUIZON

"I'm so sorry, Mel. Even if I want to, I can't. I have a patient scheduled to be operated on. But when it's over right away, I'll follow. I promise." Eugene said on the other line. Its word is also quite fast as if in a hurry. It was getting a bit noisy inside the arena so I had to cover my one ear to hear what Eugene was saying. "Keep safe, Sweetheart. Trust me, I'll keep my promise. Don't worry before you know it, I'm already by your side."

I understood him. He is a doctor. Duty first before anything else. Even before I could speak he immediately turned off the call.

"Mommy." I looked at Reid as he touched me. I noticed its irritation as his forehead was already frowning. My son is not really used to noisy surroundings.

I touched its caressed its hair. He took my hand there and hugged me. he becomes comfortable when he hugs me.

"Just behave, Baby. Let's just wait." I kissed it on his forehead. "It's for your daddy, eh."
