As their jet touched down, a chill wind blew over Olivia, for although she thought she’d managed to forget what had happened in this country, where for the first time she’d set foot, everything had been sadness, she realized that in reality she hadn’t forgotten a thing. To say she wasn’t afraid of meeting Richard would be too big a lie, and so would her niece. Having seen what was happening, Damon didn’t want another unfortunate incident to endanger their baby’s life.

-Listen, angel, I don’t want there to be another problem with your health, so I’m going to book a hotel room for you and once I’ve seen my mother, I’ll come and find you.

-But I want to see her, Damon.

-and your condition won’t allow you to Olivia. we didn’t leave the Taxas on good terms with her and I wouldn’t want something like this to happen again. not now that you’re pregnant you understand that, I know you’ll still be able to put up with my mother but what if her companion is there? have you thought about that.

-It doesn’t matter, I promise I’ll be strong, you’re here with me and that’s the most important thing.

Damon reluctantly agreed. after all, if she didn’t want to go to the hotel, he couldn’t force her. when their driver arrived, he collected their belongings and they got into the car. he could have gone straight to the hospital, but he didn’t know which center she was in. half an hour later, the car pulled into the courtyard and he hurried out, helping his beautiful fiancee to get out in turn, and they got in.

-Oh my son, you’ve arrived, you’ve been so quick, and how are you my little one?

-I’m fine, Rosario; what happened to Yolanda?

-I couldn’t tell you. Yesterday, when I arrived in her room, she was lying on the floor holding her chest, struggling to breathe and I called for help. By the time they got there, she’d already lost consciousness. I could have called yesterday, but I wasn’t in my right mind as I was trying to reach Richard in vain.

so the man his mother was willing to die for wasn’t even at her bedside, what a sad story. he could have thrown that truth in her face, but she’d have to wake up first before he could tell her what he was thinking, because right now, he wasn’t going to keep it to himself. when Rosario gave him the address of the hospital, he begged Olivia to stay home, but she was determined to follow him.

-I don’t think this place will be good for you, Olivia, the smell and everything.

-I know you’re scared because of what happened the other day, but now that I’m aware that I’m pregnant, it allows me to limit the danger or unfortunate situations that might push me to take risks. You don’t need to worry, I told you. I just want to be with you, she’s your mother and even if you don’t want to hear this, I feel guilty about your distance because if you hadn’t wanted to protect me from her companion, you’d have been able to keep the good relationship with your mother. what I’m doing isn’t to redeem myself or ease my conscience but I’m doing it because I love you and I’d always like to be with you, not just when you’re washing my hair, no, not even when you’re trying to bury your tears in your belly like now. Just let me be with you my love.

He couldn’t think of anything he could say to convince her to stay at home, because she had just convinced him that he needed her, especially at a time when his mother was between life and death. He’d already lost his father, and he didn’t want to lose his mother, especially not at a time when she was finally going to have a grandchild like she’d dreamed of. He couldn’t make the mistake of endangering their lives, so he was going to be careful. When they got to the hospital, Damon pulled into the parking lot and hurried out. Yolanda lay asleep, hooked up to several machines. Olivia had tears welling up in the corners of her eyes as she ached to see Damon so devastated, but what could she do? nothing at all.

-She’ll get better, my love, I promise. Very soon she’ll be with us, you’ll see.

-I don’t know, Oli, last time we argued and now we don’t even know if she’ll survive. I’m afraid of losing her, I’m afraid of not asking her sincere forgiveness, I’m afraid of not being able to tell her that everything I did was because I wanted to protect her, I’m afraid of not being able to ask her to take me in her arms one last time, I’m afraid of all that, my Oli.

She felt guilty again, because last time, if he hadn’t kissed her mother before leaving, it was her fault, because she’d ended up in that kitchen with that perverted man who kept making propositions that didn’t hold water.

-It was the doctor who had just entered the room.

Damon looked at her to see if she could hold out for a few minutes on her own. She didn’t want to be in the way, and if it was a case she knew anything about, she was sure Damon would tell her everything, so she preferred to wait. the smell of the room, the smell of the whole hospital, wasn’t helping her at all. she’d tried to hold back in front of Damon so as not to worry him, but now that he’d gone, she’d already made three trips to the bathroom, vomiting. She thought she was hallucinating, but Yolanda was really looking at her. She slapped her forehead thinking she’d come back to reality, but realized she was still immersed in the imaginary world where Yolanda was smiling at her as if she’d had nothing.

-You’re not dreaming, Olivia. I’m right here, it’s me smiling at you, darling, so come and sit here.

she felt tears welling up in her eyes and, unable to hold back, they rolled down her cheeks. Yolanda tapped a spot on the edge of the bed and sat down there. She still couldn’t believe it.

-i’m happy, olivia. i could have said that today was the happiest day of my life, you know. i almost died today, i almost died. let me tell you and damon that i’m truly sorry for what happened last time. oh, my little one, don’t peel. i know the effect of hormones and i know that the one who suffers the most is damon, and after all, he’s the happiest, isn’t he?

Olivia opened her eyes wide in surprise as she had no idea how this woman had known she was pregnant. It may not have been a secret, but she thought that it would only be when her belly started to round out that her pregnancy would become visible.

-I’m a woman and I’m a mother. I didn’t adopt my son, but I did give birth to him, so I know you went to the toilet four times after Damon left.

-So you were spying on us? Were you awake the whole time?

-When you came into my room, I wasn’t awake yet because I needed a reason to hold on to life and you’re that reason. Your voices made me realize that even though I thought I was unforgivable, that I still had people in this world that I cared about, so that’s why I came back. Olivia I’d like to ask you to forgive me. You may not forgive me but I’d like you to know that I’m sorry, truly sorry for all the hurt. I was so naive as a young girl who had just discovered love, all because I was afraid, I was afraid of ending up all alone because Damon wasn’t coming here to see me anymore and I clung to Richard like my lifeline but today I regret, I regret so much if you only knew.

-It’s okay Yolanda, everyone makes mistakes, I already knew that man was manipulating you but now is not the time to talk about it, you’ve just woken up and I’d like us to just enjoy the fact that you’re here and that you’re going to become a grandmother like you so much wanted.

before she could reply, the door to her room opened on Damon, who was as surprised as the doctor to see Yolanda awake and talking. Olivia got up to make way for Damon, who she felt needed to be closer to his mother. He went and crouched down by the bed and laid his head on his mother’s stomach, who couldn’t help shedding a few tears.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

-You’re my reason for living, and I promise I’ll never make that mistake again, never cling to a parasite and abandon my son.

-It’s okay, Mom, you need to stay calm because you just woke up and you need to rest. everything’s fine now, I promise.

-I want to go home. I don’t want to stay here anymore and Olivia’s not doing well in this place, she’s thrown up four times and I don’t think she has anything left in her tummy.

Olivia huffed. She would have got angry with Yolanda because she didn’t want Damon to get angry with her at all but the old woman was doing it for her own good so she had no reason to get angry with her. Damon had tried to convince her that she could still stay in hospital, but Yolanda had reassured them that she was fine and that it had been a shock that had put her in that state, so they returned home.

-Mom, what happened to scare me so much?

-In all the years I’d been with Richard, I’d told him everything about my life with you and your father, but if there was one thing I’d never told Richard, it was to mention your father’s businesses, some of his real estate documents. they laughed at me under my own roof and confessed that olivia had seen them making love on my bed one morning. When I think of that man, all I feel is disgust Damon if you only knew but don’t worry, he can’t have access to the properties because only you can unlock all that as your father so aptly mentioned, even I wouldn’t be able to access them you’re the only legal owner.

-But I don’t think he’s going to look you in the eye and tell you the truth, Yolanda, how did you find all this out?

she said nothing and went to retrieve the letter Richard had left for her, returning to hand it to Olivia, but it was Damon who took it. he knew how much Olivia loathed Richard and he didn’t want her to read such a thing at all.

“my dearest Yolanda, today promises to be the day the apocalypse ends, and I think you’re entitled to know everything. all these years with you have been the worst of my life, but I guess I needed to play the attentive, ever-present man to accomplish my mission. how naive you are, even at your age, my beautiful Yolanda. and to think that i took pleasure in doing somersaults with Virginia on the bed you thought was our marriage bed. nothing happened by chance when we met. i was aware of your husband’s death, but i did you the honor of staying with you even though you were a widow. you owe me at least all these years. i took what was rightfully mine, because i did the math from the day i started supporting you, and i took what could be the equivalent of that. today i’m finally going to be able to live a wonderful life with Virginia in Russia. i know you won’t survive this letter, so have a nice death Yolanda and rest in peace. life goes on on my side.”

-He may have thought it was the end of the apocalypse, but he’s completely wrong, because it’s not the end of the apocalypse yet,” Damon grumbled.

-I know what you’ve read here hurts so much, but please don’t try anything Damon, especially not now, because you’re expecting a child and it should be born in peace and serenity.

his mother may have been right, but he wasn’t going to let go of Richard until he made him taste the death he’d thought he’d given his mother.

-Mom, I know that what I’m about to ask you may be difficult for you to accept, but I don’t want you to live here anymore, well, you can come back, but I want you to come with us to New Orleans. This house is full of bad memories for you, and you almost lost your life here, so please come with us. you wanted a little child, didn’t you? you’ll be able to watch him grow in his mother’s womb and see him born. i want to make sure you’re well every day, but i can’t stay here because i’m behind in my work.

-But Damon…

-No, but Yolanda, Damon’s right and I’ll need you to help me. It’s my first time and I’ll have a hard time coping, so I think your presence by my side will be good for me.

She was finally going to be able to be as happy as she wanted to be, and even if she still wanted to meet a man so as not to be a burden on her son, she was going to wait a little because the story with Richard had taught her a lesson.
