Chance

"Patricia ... I will try to accept you back. But you must remember that this is the last chance," Felix whispered with a sad look. "I hope you never ruin this chance I've given you...I can never hate you too much because my love for you is so great compared to this heartache. Please don't disappoint me again."

Patricia immediately nodded her head then kissed Felix's hand and continued to hold it tightly.

"I promise, I will never disappoint you again."

"Now come here, sleep beside me," Felix cried.

"No, I don't want to. The doctor will scold me because I will disturb your comfort," said Patricia, shaking her head.

"And they will never have the right to scold my wife, I won't let that happen." Felix tugged at Patricia as if to signal that she really should sleep beside him.
