90 Days Pursuing My Husband's Love

Jack Back (Chapter 18)

I don't understand what Arnold said. His voice sounded so loud and full of anger.

"Velicia I won't pretend anymore, please, just assume our relationship never existed. Let's just say we never knew each other. I'm sorry about the miscarriage you had. I'm apologizing. I really feel guilty. I hope you will forgive me.” Arnold said.

"No, I'll never forgive you. From now on we have broken up and have no relationship. Don't ever show your face to me again." I reply with emotion.

Tutt!!

I turned off the phone with him, no longer wanting to hear his voice. I will never accept an apology from him. I'll make Arnold have burdens and regrets when I get married to Viona later. I'll make sure it happens.

I ran towards the beach and screamed loudly. My heart hurts a lot, like it was on a knife stick but it doesn't bleed. The wound is gaping and so painful, but why can't I die.

This time I cried myself to my knees by the beach. I am a strong woman and so weak. In front of people I try to look very strong. But in reality I am so weak.

I knelt on the beach with tears in my eyes. Until I realized my back was being hugged so warmly by someone.

A very familiar warm hug reminds me of someone I haven't seen in a long time. Someone who loved and protected me with all his heart.

When I turned my body, I saw Jack smiling at me. My tears broke again. Jack hugged me again trying to calm me down.

"Calm down baby." said Jack.

Jack was a son adopted by my parents. We grew up together, our 3 years of age made him a big brother to me. When he was 15, he rediscovered his birth parents and returned to them.

Even so we keep in touch, still as we used to be. Like a sister and sister relationship. The distance that separates us, makes us only connect through video calls.

Since childhood, Jack has always been very attentive to me. He always protected me from the bad boys who used to bother me. Until Jack had to go back to his biological parents, I felt so lost. No one else can protect me.

But, Jack always supported me, and told me to be a great and strong woman. I started following his every suggestion. Until one year after he returned to his parents, it was me who lost both my parents.

I'm devastated, I don't know the direction. However, Jack came and always stood by me. He even offered me to come live with him and his parents. But I refused, and realized there was a huge responsibility on my shoulders to continue to live up to the name of the Arista Family.

Now Jack was in front of me when all the sorrow was covering my days.

Jack then took me home. He's very attentive to me. He made me soup for dinner. Afterwards we both sat in the living room, and started chatting.

"Jack, I'll be pretty soon. The doctor said I had stage 3 cervical cancer, and sentenced me to only 3 months. And now I only have 1 month left." I told Jack.

"Why don't you ever tell me Veli. Why do you keep everything yourself? Don't you ever think of me as your brother?" Jack's been poking me with a lot of questions.

"I'm sorry Jack, I just don't want to bother you. And disrupt your happy life with brother-in-law." My speech.

Jack is married and is taking care of the sweetness of the newlyweds. I couldn't possibly bother him by telling him all the problems I was facing. I don't want Jack to be worried much less overreact.

I remember when I was a kid, I fell from a bike ride and injured my knee. Jack was so panicked, he carried me into the house and started smearing drugs at my feet. He treated me like a sick person, I was even forbidden to get out of bed all day. Even to go to the bathroom, Jack swiftly carried my body.

"Veli listen to me." I looked up at Jack. "I'm your brother, so you're my responsibility. Don't let me feel guilty for the late Mama and Papa for not taking good care of you." Jack held my hand tightly.

I smiled and stroked Jack's hand.

"Thank you, Brother." My speech.

Jack took me back to my room.

"I can do it myself Jack." I tried to get out of his car.

"Here you go, you better shut up. Let me help you. Close your eyes and sleep."

In the morning, I woke up feeling sick. I grimaced in pain. My stomach is wrapped around me, it hurts so much. Just as Jack came in carrying a tray of toast for breakfast, he saw me holding my stomach in pain.

"Oh my God, Veli. What's wrong with you? Are you in pain?" Jack looked very panicked.

I couldn't answer the question, I just grimaced in pain. My stomach really hurts.

Jack quickly grabbed my body. He took my body quickly. He lifted my body like he was lifting a pillow. Maybe because my body is very light because my body is currently very thin.

Jack took me to the hospital. After the doctor injected me with the drug, Jack took my body out of the ICU and was about to take me to the hospital. We accidentally met Viona.

Arnold seemed to accompany Viona beside him.

"Look at that holy woman. Telling me as a seductress. He himself is worse than me. Not yet officially divorced with you that woman has been held by another man. Where is the dignity of the Arista family that you have always been proud of. You're...."

Not done yet Viona spoke, Jack had already pointed at her face.

"Take a good talk. You don't know what...."

"Jack, stop. Let's just go. There's no point in talking to an unknown person." I interrupted Jack.

"You asked me to love." Jack stroked my head gently.

I strengthened my grip on Jack by draping my hand around his neck. For a moment I saw the look on Arnold's face that had been cold changed like it was holding back anger.

"Arnold, arrange for your woman not to talk carelessly. This time I let you both go. But next time I won't hesitate." Jack.

Jack then walked past the two of them. For a moment my eyes clashed with Arnold. As fast as lightning I turned my eyes.

'That's enough, I don't want to see her again.'
