Linda’s POV:
Not a single day would pass when I would open my eyes in the morning and not long to see Andy’s smile.
‘‘Andy, my dear boy, where are you? You are the cutest and brightest child in the world.I can’t go on like this without you.’’ I kept telling myself that Andy was still alive.
He was just playing hide and seek with me.
How could he be dead? I needed to see him again.
I didn’t care how long it would take.
I roamed the streets, asking everyone I ran into where Andy was, but they all responded with strange glances and answers I didn’t want to hear.
I could keep looking for him until the end of time.
I didn’t care.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, I got to see the only two people in the world I didn’t want to see ever again – Jerome and Skylar.
Their mere existence was like a thorn in my flesh, reminding me of the tragedy that had happened a few days ago.
I couldn’t shake the memory of Andy falling down in front of me, foaming at his mouth.I killed Andy.
After all, it was I who had prepared the poison.
No, no, it must be a dream.
Andy was still alive.
I stepped back in shame when I met Skylar’s gaze.
Why were they looking at me like that? I wanted to run away, but my eyes fell on the bags full of children’s toys and clothes in Jerome’s hands.
They bought gifts and clothes for their future child.
Skylar was pregnant! I had never felt more envious and angry in my entire life.
My life felt completely empty without Andy, and yet, they looked so happy together.
“No! No! No!”
I pointed my finger at Skylar and shouted angrily.
I stared at her belly and forced the words out of gritted teeth.
Jerome nodded in response as I stared at him with a hopeful expression.
I stood up in a hurry and bowed at them to show my gratitude.
With the help of Jerome and Skylar, I was finally able to bury Andy.
I felt my heart crumble as I watched his little body being sent into the cremator.
I held his ashes in my hands and buried him in a quiet cemetery while a priest prayed for his departed soul.
Andy finally had a place to rest in peace.
“Andy, I’m sorry.I’m so sorry, my child…” I held Andy’s tombstone and burst into tears again.
“Please be strong, Linda,” Skylar comforted me gently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI know that she was coming from a good place, but I couldn’t help but feel ashamed again.
If I were her, I wouldn’t have been able to make peace with the one who had hurt me so badly.
Skylar’s POV: Perhaps considering our history, it would be hard for anyone to believe it but I really didn’t feel any hatred for Linda.
I pitied her.
After all, she had paid a high price for her sins.
I couldn’t imagine what I would be like if my child died like that.
“Thank you, Skylar and Jerome.Thank you for helping me regardless of what I did to you.I deeply regret my actions now.Thank you…”
Linda broke down as she held Andy’s tombstone.
After a while, she wiped her tears and knelt down before us.
I stood there not knowing what to say, but fortunately, Jerome spoke up.
