    “<i>I </i>don’t <i>want </i><i>you </i><i>to </i><i>think </i><i>my </i><i>husband </i><i>and </i><i>I </i><i>are </i><i>some </i><i>crazy </i><i>people</i><i>. </i><i>We’re </i><i>holding </i><i>on </i><i>to </i><i>hope </i><i>that </i><i>our </i><i>son </i><i>will wake </i><i>up </i><i>soon</i><i>! </i><i>And </i><i>when </i><i>he </i><i>does</i><i>, </i><i>we </i><i>want </i><i>to </i><i>know </i><i>that </i><i>he </i><i>will </i><i>be </i><i>with </i><i>someone </i><i>that </i><i>love him </i><i>and take </i><i>care </i><i>him</i>. <i>Build </i><i>a </i><i>life </i><i>a </i><i>with</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    I listened to Ma with sincerity, I believed her, it’s just…


    <i>“</i><i>Ma</i><i>, </i>I’m <i>sorry but</i><i>, </i><i>why </i><i>me</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>


    Ma gave me a passionate but sorrowful look as if it was something she wanted to tell


    me but couldn’t.


    <i>“</i><i>I</i>…<i>Gracie</i><i>, </i><i>all </i><i>I </i><i>can </i><i>say </i><i>is</i><i>, </i><i>when </i><i>the </i><i>time </i>is <i>right</i><i>, </i><i>that </i><i>question </i><i>will </i><i>be </i><i>answered</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    So, there WAS a reason? This is gettingplicated.


    <i>“</i><i>Ma </i><i>I-</i><i>” </i>


    “<i>One </i><i>week</i>!”<fn485e> ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find(?)ovel</fn485e>


    <i>“</i><i>Huh</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>


    “<i>Give </i><i>me </i><i>your </i><i>answer </i><i>in </i><i>one </i><i>week</i>. <i>If </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>please </i><i>think </i><i>it </i><i>over</i><i>, </i><i>really </i><i>think </i><i>it </i><i>over</i>…<i>in </i><i>seven </i><i>days</i>, <i>we’ll </i><i>meet </i><i>again</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>give </i><i>both </i><i>my </i><i>husband </i><i>and </i><i>I </i><i>your </i><i>answer</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    I nodded in agreement. I would wait one week before providing my answer. After dinner, Ma and Theo asked for me to stay the night since it was sote. The next morning, Ma had a chauffeur take me home. I got home around 1pm. That was also the day my father informed me that the Brooks patriarch was really pushing for me and Jonathan to wed.

    I remember him saying as he saw hints of hesitation on my face. The truth was, I was

    pondering whether I should ept Ma’s offer. In my previous life, the answer was obviously no. But in this life, I was on my way back to House Christiansen to deliver my


    yes.


    So, now that we’re all caught up, back to my phone call with Ma.


    <i>“</i>Ms. <i>Teagues</i>, <i>I </i><i>can’t </i><i>express </i><i>how </i><i>d </i><i>I </i><i>am </i><i>to </i><i>hear </i><i>from </i><i>you</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Her voice was smooth and regal, you could tell she was royalty.


    Smiling.


    <i>“</i><i>It’s </i><i>good </i><i>to hear </i><i>from you </i><i>as </i><i>well </i><i>Mrs. </i><i>Christiansen</i><i>. </i><i>How </i><i>are </i><i>you </i><i>feeling</i><i>, </i><i>better </i><i>I </i><i>hope</i>.”


    <i>“</i><i>Much </i><i>better</i><i>, </i><i>thank </i><i>you </i>so <i>much </i><i>for </i><i>asking</i>. <i>I </i><i>thought </i><i>it </i><i>would </i><i>be </i><i>wise </i><i>if </i><i>we </i><i>spoke </i><i>while </i><i>on </i><i>your </i><i>way</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>want </i><i>to </i><i>make </i><i>sure </i><i>your </i><i>trip </i><i>isn’t </i><i>wasted</i>.


    <i>“</i><i>I </i><i>understand</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    There was a slight pause.


    <i>“I </i><i>wanted </i><i>to </i><i>know</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>please</i><i>, </i><i>let </i><i>me </i><i>know </i><i>if </i><i>this </i><i>may </i><i>be </i><i>too </i><i>much </i><i>for </i><i>you</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>wanted </i><i>to </i><i>know </i>


    <i>if </i><i>you </i><i>could </i><i>meet </i><i>us </i><i>at </i><i>the </i><i>hospital</i><i>. </i><i>I’d </i><i>like </i><i>for </i><i>you </i>to <i>meet </i><i>my </i><i>son</i>.”<ol start="2"><li>2.</li></ol>

    I see. That’s what she met by wasting a trip. She would like to see if I handle seeing him


    “<i>That’s </i><i>not </i><i>a </i><i>problem </i><i>at </i><i>all </i><i>Ma</i><i>! </i><i>Should </i><i>I </i><i>inform </i><i>the </i><i>driver</i><i>?</i><i>” </i>

    I could feel her smile, even through the phone.


    <i>“</i><i>That </i><i>won’t </i><i>be </i><i>necessary</i>. <i>I’m </i><i>never </i><i>wrong</i><i>, </i><i>I </i><i>already </i><i>informed </i><i>your </i><i>driver </i><i>of </i><i>your </i>


    <i>destination</i><i>. </i>


    I wonder what she meant by that. Hmm. Not putting too much thought into it. I smiled and responded.


    <i>“</i><i>Very </i><i>good</i>! <i>Then </i>I’ll <i>see </i><i>you </i><i>soon</i><i>!</i><i>” </i>


    I arrived at the hospital around 2pm. As I entered the lobby, I was greeted by a younger gentleman.

    “<i>Excellent</i>. I’m <i>Cameron </i><i>Lewis</i>, <i>The </i><i>young </i><i>master’s </i><i>assistant</i>. It’s <i>a </i><i>pleasure </i><i>to meet </i><i>you</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    Young master, so formal. It was almost like I was living in a novel. I smiled brightly as I shook Cameron’s hand. He had a slight look of hesitation in his eyes. As we walked to


    elevator, I decided to address it now. Better to get any misunderstandings out the way


    BEFORE the I do’s.


    <i>“</i><i>Cameron</i>, <i>I </i><i>want </i><i>you </i>to <i>know</i><i>, </i><i>you </i><i>can </i><i>be </i><i>open </i><i>and </i><i>honest </i><i>with </i><i>me</i><i>. </i><i>If </i><i>you </i><i>have </i><i>something </i><i>to </i><i>say</i><i>, </i><i>I’d </i><i>rather </i><i>you </i><i>said </i><i>it </i><i>now </i><i>than </i><iter</i><i>.</i><i>” </i>


    He looked at me with a stern look, closing his eyes and exhaling, he began to speak.
