His Bedwarmer’s Wife

“Dada, I’m afraid. It’s too dark and I can’t see anything.” Eugene held Uly’s hand. Uly tightened his grip on his dad’s hand. I want to cry because I feel sorry for him but I don’t want my son to feel discouraged. As his mommy, I should be the one to encourage him. I should be one who will give his strength.

“You don’t need to be afraid baby, dada and mommy will never leave. We’re here for you.” Eugene comforted Ulysses while holding my son’s hand.

“Dada, can’t I see anymore? I can’t play with Prime anymore? Can’t I color books dada? I want to play basketball again.” I wanted to cry but I don’t want my son to hear me. I just stay in the corner and let my tears flow.

“No baby,” Eugene replied then looked at me. “That won’t happen because dada won’t let that happen.”

“Dada, please don’t leave me,” Uly pleaded to Eugene and I can see in his face that his afraid. Seeing my son like that hurt me the most.

“No baby, dada will stay and I won’t leave you.”

The door opened, my family and William entered. I immediately ran over to mommy and hugged her while crying.

“Shh! everything will be alright ok? Ulysses needs you so don’t make him feel sad,” mommy whispered while nuzzling my back.

“Hi Ulysses, how’s my favorite nephew?” William asked enthusiastically then sat down next to Uly.

“Uncle William, is that you?”

“Yes, baby! your handsome uncle and I have something for you.” Then he reached for a box and handed it to Uly.

“Uncle, I can’t see that. I can’t see anything uncle and I only saw darkness.” William’s eyes sad then took a deep breath.

“Don’t worry baby it won’t take so long. Trust me you’ll see soon because your daddy Eugene and I will do everything to get your eyesight back.”

“Thank you, uncle Liam, I love you.”

“I love you too,” William stroked Uly’s head.

Hera and William are now playing with Ulysses. Even if my son can’t see he still laughs when Will or Hera tickles him. Even though they were playing, Uly didn’t let go of Eu’s hand. When it is loosened, he immediately tries to hold it tightly.

Eugene’s parents also arrived and reported that they were already in contact with other acquaintances to find a donor. Asher and Ashley came and Asher said that the hospital has already prioritized Ulysses’s name in the list. He already informed his acquaintances and other board of the hospital’s panel.

This hospital own by Asher. Which dad is one of the major investors.

Visiting time is over.

When they left, Ulysses was right to fall asleep. While asleep I look at my son and I can’t help but feel sorry for him. If I could just take what my son was going through I would have done it. I couldn’t bear to see him like this because I was hurting.

“Ley,” Eugene called to me. I can’t help but think about my son’s condition and every time I think about it I want to cry.

“Why is this happening to him?” I ask.

I felt his touch on my shoulder.

“He’ll be ok. Don’t worry Ley, I’ll do everything for Ulysses.” He hugged me while I kept crying so I move away and looked at him. “Everything,” he added.

“Eugene, don’t take any step that will hurt you. I also need you for Ulysses so please let’s work together until we get through this.”

“I’m confused too, Ley, I can’t bear to see my son struggling. If I could just take all his pain I would have done it.”

“We’re both hurting, Eu, but we don’t have to rush things.” He let go of me and go to Uly and held his hand.

“I love him so much, Ley. I can’t afford my son got hurt.” I am going to answer him when the door opens and someone entered.

“Sorry for interrupting.” Eugene and I looked at the door at the same time and we saw Hunter and Kyla enter while carrying flowers and fruits.

“No, it’s ok,” Eugene said and stood up to greet Hunter and offered him a set but they refused and said they won’t take so long.

“How is he?” Hunter asked with concern.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Honestly, not good,” Eugene replied without any trace of anger or annoyance.

“For him.” Hunter handed Eu the basket of fruit and flowers.

“Thank you,”

Kyla doesn’t move and so, neither I. For how many years, this bitch manage to ruin me. Until now she managed to ruin my marriage.

I noticed that Kyla’s stomach was getting bigger.

Is she pregnant?

Oh god, the hell I fucking care with her.

“We came from Kyla’s ob for her check-up so we went through hereafter when we heard what happened,” Hunter said.

“Thanks for passing,”

“Anything we can help?”

“We already find ways for Ulysses, we’re waiting for the hospital’s action. Thanks for asking anyway, ” Eugene replied.

“If you think we can do something don’t hesitate to ask, we’re willing to help,” Hunter said then touched Eugenes’s shoulder.

“Thanks for the offer.”

“I think we need to go, babe,” Kyla said then held Hunter’s hands then looked at me. “Vince is outside but didn’t go because he told us to go first when he saw us coming. He said he wanted to see Ulysses but he seemed hesitant to enter,” she said.

I look at Eugene and saw him sigh. Emotionless and without anything on his face.

“Thanks for the visit,” Eugene replied to Kyla who nodded at him.

“Let’s go.” Hunter supported Kyla and look at me. “We’ll go ahead, Ley.” I just nod at him. Then they left.

“I’ll go outside,” he said and left without waiting for my answer.

I waited for him to return because he took a while. I was nervous knowing that Vince was outside, how did he find out about my son and why is he here?
