Beautiful Mistake

Chapter Forty-Nine

"She's safe, Raven."

Nakahinga siya nang maluwag ng marinig iyon. Mabuti na lang at agad na naagapan si Abby kundi... She would die due to blood loss!

Nang makita niya ito kaninang nawalan ng malay habang sinusubukang hawakan ang ina ay automatikong tumakbo na siya papalapit rito at agad na binuhat ang asawa.

"Ligtas ang mag-ina mo. Your baby is in the nursery, walang galos o kahit na anong komplikasyon,"

"Thank you, Doktora." He said, "Can I see them now?"

"Your wife must stay here for two more days. Just to make sure she's out of any complications,"

"Thank you, Doc." Nagpaalam na ito. Agad na pumasok si Slyther kasama si Daniella. Halatadong may balitang dala.

"How's Mrs. De Leon?"

Nagkatitigan pa sila sa mga mata bago ito umiling, "She was stabbed in critical places, Kuya. Hindi na kinaya ng katawan ni Mrs. De Leon ang operasyon,"

Napatingin siya kay Abby. Napapikit na siya sa isiping magiging reaksyon nito sa oras na magising.

"She's gone, too." It's Daniella, "Ms. Lacerna. Shot on site."

"Does she have a family we can call?" Tanong ni Slyther.

"She has no family." Aniya, "Ang mga De Leon ang tumayo niyang pamilya. I don't think they would fix her funeral."

"Anak!" It's his mother, "We came as soon as we heard on the news. Anong nangyari?"

Napakaraming nangyari. Sa sobrang dami, agad na nakatulog si Raven nang masandal ang likod sa sofa.

Gryffin and Daniella arrived. Sinamahan sila nito maghapon. Hindi pa rin nagigising si Abby. Ang sabi ng doctor, maaring nagrerecover pa ang katawan nito sa panganganak at sa incidente na nangyari.

Thank You for saving my wife and daughter, God... Thank You for not taking them away from me.

Nagising siya sa magaan na haplos sa mukha niya. To his surprise, it's Abby! Nakahiga na pala siya sa tabi nito.

"Hi..."

"I didn't know I slept here." He said, "Sorry, Baby..."

"Pagod na pagod ka rin kung ganoon. You went sa CR tapos dito ka na sa tabi ko humiga." Abby said, "How are you?"

Hindi kayang tignan ni Raven si Abby sa mata habang sinasabi ang kailangan nitong malaman. How could he even say it?

"Abby, it's about your mom..."

"I know, Babe..." Her voice broke, "I-I know..."

"Sinabi ba ng doctor sa 'yo?"

Umiling ito, "She t-told me in my dreams..." Agad na tumulo ang luha nito sa mata, "She said goodbye..."

Ang sabi ng mga pulis, nang lumapit si Abby kay Bella ay agad na naisip ni Mrs. De Leon na umakyat kaagad sa rooftop.

She anticipated that Bella had nowhere else to go but up. Maybe it's mother's instinct after all.

"We can go to the funeral once you're discharged." He said, "Tomorrow's the last day. Mr. De Leon just extended it so you can come..."

"How's Sofia?"

"She's with Mommy. Sila muna ang nagbabantay kay Sofia,"

"How about her milk?"

"A friend of Mom gave her excess breastmilk." He held her hand, "How are you feeling?"
