Chapter 74
Belle POV
It’s been a week since Agatha was hospitalized and her child died and to this day she still cannot accept it and her condition is getting worse. In the early days we noticed that something seemed to be changing her. She often cried until one day when I visited her I caught her talking to the doll that Zey gave to her.
I ignored it because I was thinking of letting her go first but as time went on I was surprised that she called it her child, when the doll got away from her she went crazy and told not to take her child with her.
The doctor also told us that this seems to be one of the effects on her. She is depressed and she is like that because what happened is still fresh in her mind and she has not yet accepted the loss of her child.
We also didn’t let Ethan know what was happening because Zey didn’t want to and I understood her because she just wanted to protect her friend. It’s better that Ethan doesn’t know it first because he doesn’t seem to care about Agatha because he’s not looking for her.
I am currently next to Agatha because I am the one who watches over her most often.
“Agatha, do you want to eat?” I asked her.
She just shook her head in response. “I’m still full Belle.” she replied as she combed the hair of the doll she was holding.
“Look at my daughter Belle, isn’t she beautiful? I fixed her hair and tied her up.”
I smiled at her. “You’re both beautiful.”
“When she grows up, I will also teach her to make designs and then take care of her and I will love her like Mama did to me.” she said.
I got up and went to a table to peel an apple. Prevents my tears from dripping because I feel sorry for her. Zey and I used to be like this to her and we just let her do what she wants because that’s what the doctor said. We can’t contradict what she will say or even take away the toy she’s holding because she’ll take longer to recover.
Soon the door opened and Zey entered. “Hi Agatha, how are you?” she asked her friend as she walked closer to her.
“I’m fine, look I tied up my daughter.” Agatha said cheerfully.
Zey looked at me and I just nodded at her.
I know Zey is having a hard time and was hurt by the situation of her friend who was almost a sister to her and I knew that it would not be easy for her to see Agatha everyday in this situation.
When I finished peeling the apple, I gave it to Agatha. “Eat it first so you still have energy when you play with your child.” I said and she accepted it.
I sat down next to Zey. “Are you okay?” I asked her.
“I’ll just lie if I say I’m okay Belle because I know in myself that I am not, Agatha is like a sister to me and I can’t accept what’s happening to her. Sometimes I just want to cry but don’t want to break down in front of her, I just can’t imagine what if she doesn’t get better? What if she will completely insane? ”
I grabbed her shoulder. “Agatha is strong and I know she can get through this ordeal and she has two more guardian angels, right? Her mother and child.”
“Have you talked to the doctor already?”
I nodded. “I told him our plan and he agreed, he will just send a nurse to watch over and take care of Agatha and every week he will also visit to check on her.” I answered.
“I’ll just visit there more often when I have free time. Thank you so much Belle for your help and for offering one of your houses so that Agatha can stay there for the meantime.”
I smiled at her. “It’s nothing, Agatha is my friend and I’m also a woman so I know that she really needs us. And Ethan is also my friend so I will help the woman he loves.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Gian and I talked yesterday, I heard that Ethan was looking for Agatha but of course I didn’t tell my cousin about what I know.”
“Ethan still can’t find out what happened because by chance he knows he’ll try to go to Agatha and it might get even more chaotic.” I said seriously.
She agreed with what I said, this is not the right time for Ethan to know because Agatha might be more distracted when she sees him.
Later, the doctor came in to check on Agatha.
“Doc. Is there a change?” I ask.
“As of now there is still nothing, she will still undergo therapy,” he answered.
“Can’t we take the toy from her? Maybe that will help her recover fast.” Zey suggested.
The doctor shook his head. “As of now we can’t do that yet because you saw how she lost her mind when the toy got away from her. The pain is still fresh and her emotions are still eating at her so the only thing we can do is let her.” the doctor explained.
We understood what he meant, it’s only been a week since it all happened so we can’t rush Agatha. I just hope everything goes well and she recovers so that she and Ethan can get along as well. They have been through too much and know they deserve to be happy.
Not long after, the doctor announced that he was leaving because he had another patient to examine and needed to be checked up.
