“There’s still some time left, I’ll make sure to get the best doctors to take care of our problem, we still have time, don’t worry too much.” Matthew comforted her as he rubbed her back gently.

Dolores slowly closed her eyes; she had been worried all this time.

“Don’t worry; I’ll take care of everything.” Matthew kissed her forehead, “Are you sleepy?”.

Dolores shook her head, “Have you eaten? I told Mom to save you some food.”

“I have eaten.”

She didn’t, she had no appetite.

“Then take a walk with me.” Dolores didn’t want to go back to her room, she felt suffocated.

Matthew nodded and walked with her, holding her hand.

It was a breezy afternoon, not too hot and not too cold.

Dolores took hold of his arm and said, “Stay home tomorrow morning, will you?”. Matthew gave her a look.

“Tomorrow is September first,” Dolores said, smiling.

Matthew forgot the date until she reminded him.

He missed the birth of his children and didn’t want to miss their first day of school.

“Do we have to get anything ready?” Matthew got slightly excited, his children were going to school.

“It will be too late if I wait for you,” Dolores said as she shot him a look.

Matthew was speechless.

She had everything prepared.

At the Miller residence…

Boyce visited the Miller residence after the police station. He wanted to cut the strings between Wendy and him as soon as possible.

The Millers were surprised to see him. Officer Miller was the first to speak, he raised his voice to Mrs. Miller, “What’s he doing frozen? Let him in.”

Mrs. Miller then welcomed Boyce in an instant.

“You’re finally back, Boyce. Wendy became very worried after you disappeared.

She couldn’t eat or sleep well and had lost an awful lot of weight.” Mrs. Miller was trying hard to create a good impression of her daughter.

While Wendy was still in shock at Boyce’s sudden appearance in front of her, “Boyce…” she muttered.

Boyce, for his part, calmly apologized, “I’m sorry I worried you.”

“That’s all right. The most important thing is that you come back alive. I’ve been crying since your disappearance, even though you and Wendy haven’t married, I’ve treated you like my son-in-law. I’m so glad you’re coming back alive.”

Mrs. Miller tugged on Boyce’s arm, “Come sit down, have you eaten? Let me fix something to eat.”

Boyce’s appearance shed light on Wendy’s future, Mrs. Miller was anxious to show her concern for Boyce.

“No need, I’m not hungry,” Boyce said.

“Let me fix something,” Mrs. Miller insisted.

“No need,” Boyce declined.

Officer Miller couldn’t stand her actions, “Shut up!”.

Since when does she cry for Boyce? He was still pressuring Wendy to find someone else.

He sighed at the thought. “What happened Boyce, where have you been?” she asked.

Boyce told the truth about what happened and how he was rescued, but skipped the part about Jasmine.

Officer Miller let out a sigh of relief, “I’m glad you’re alive, I thought you were dead.”

“Sorry to have worried you,” Boyce apologized again.

“As long as you come back safe and sound.” Wendy stepped forward and hugged Boyce in front of her parents.

Boyce froze. “Wendy.”

He wanted to push her away, but the more he pushed, the tighter she hugged her. “I almost broke down, my days were like years.”

Boyce’s hands froze in the air, “I’m sorry I worried you, Wendy, please get up.”

Wendy hugged herself even tighter when she heard that, “No, I won’t let you go anymore, I don’t want to lose you again.”

Boyce didn’t know what to do.

“There’s something I have to tell you, Wendy.” He wanted to cut the strings between them as soon as possible.

Wendy looked up, “What do you want to tell me, are you planning to propose to me?”

“No Wendy, I’ve come to break up with you,” Boyce said sincerely.

Wendy’s face stiffened, as did Mrs. Muller’s. Mrs. Miller immediately asked, “What did you say?”

Boyce stood up. He bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Miller, “I’m so sorry I can’t be with Wendy.”

Officer Miller was calmer compared to the others, he knew from the beginning that Boyce didn’t like his daughter, he agreed out of respect for him.

“There is no point in apologizing, you agreed to be with Wendy but now you break your promise, how could you carry out such a shameful act?” Boyce was speechless; he was the one who broke his promise.

“You agreed to marry Wendy, how could you break it now…?”

“That’s enough!” Officer Miller was annoyed. He knew Boyce didn’t like Wendy but he didn’t expect him to break up with her. “Tell me what’s going on.”

Wendy interrupted, “You’ve fallen in love with another woman?”

She stared at Boyce. She knew this man, she wasn’t a sentimental person when it came to romantic relationships. He even introduced her to his closest friends right after agreeing to be with her. He was a man with a sense of responsibility.

There must have been another woman he liked so much that it made him break up with her.

“Tell me who she is.” Wendy clenched her fists.

Boyce apologized, “I’m sorry.”

“Apologies are useless, you hurt my daughter. Listen carefully Boyce Shawn, I’m not going to let you break up with my daughter. What asshole, we were worried about you while you were missing, but you come back to break up with Wendy? How could you?”
