HIS JOURNEY

CH14: The Confession

SHANDY's POV

I went inside Bella's office, "Why did you do that?" Bella, on the other hand was shocked to see me in the office. "Do what?" She asked, probably confused. "Why did you ask her to transfer Autumn in different hospital when ours are the most reliable?"

She sighed and walked towards the door to close it. "It's because I don't want to see her here." she deadpanned, sitting next to me. "I can't bear to see you and Dr. Sy get nagged on because of them."

"Since when did you care?!" I shouted, forming a fist to stop myself. Bella was shocked when she heard me shout. It was first time but I can't contain my anger.

"Because I like you, Shandy! I like you so much that it hurts me to see you being too hyped up helping her!" she exclaimed, forming some beads of tears on her eyes. "I like you and I want you to be mine. Not hers." and with that statement she forced herself and attempted to kiss me. But I pushed her away. That took her aback. "What does she have that I don't?!"

"My love." I calmly said, "I love her so much that I couldn't date anyone else because I love her."

"But she's with Matteo!"

"And I am willing to fight for her." I ended the statement and went out of her office. Then I saw her, standing beside the door breathing heavily. "Geenina."

She looked at me with those pair of orbs I used to love, "I saw what happened." That made me nervous in some ways, but I didn't do a thing. "And I thank you for being cautious about your actions." she added.

I sighed and smiled at her, "I thought you went home?" She shook her head, "Was about to but I forgot giving you this. So I asked the nurses where you were and they said you're here." she handed me a bracelet with SG pendant on it. "Im giving that back to you."

Confused, I asked her "This wasn't from me." She blinked more that three times before taking back the bracelet, "Who's this from?" I scratched my head and shrug my shoulders, "Probably from Veronica?"

She chuckled and kept the bracelet, "Uh, Shandy can we talk?" I nodded, "Here?" she shook her head and walked ahead of me. I silently followed her, it feels good to have her around. It's been a while since we last walked together. We arrived at the hospital park and sat down on a bench. I heard her soft sigh and chuckle, "It's been awhile right?" I nodded and said yes.

"Shandy, well, I think it's your right to know what happened to me after I went home. Veronica has been nagging me to tell you everything. I had to admit, I kept in touch with her and I was the one who told her not to say a thing to you." She said, playing her fingers one by one. "I saw how you moved on and continued life by her sharing everything to me."

"Uhh, that was unfair." I said and chuckled. I heard her giggle for around 5 seconds. "Well yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't push through my blog and I know that was the only way you can contact me." she added.

She finally faced me, held my hand and smiled. "I couldn't keep this anymore, but, Shandy, Autumn. The reason why she was so important to me,"

I cut her off, "She's your sister isn't she?" She shook her head as a sign of disapproval. "Then who is she?"

"She's your child. Autumn is your child, Shandy. Im sorry I didn't tell you." And that statement made me caught off guard. How could that happen? How could that possibly happen? "Enlighten me" I said.

"This all happened when..."
