Happy Ending's
Chapter 88: Promise

Dariel finally relented, "promise me to live, baby. Because if you leave me at that moment I'll catch up with you. Because I wouldn't be able to live without you" Dariel said, crying out to Casey's forehead, until the doctor brought Casey into the ICU.

As the door closed, Dariel's body slumped and leaned against the wall. Dariel rubbed his face with both hands in frustration.

"Dariel what happened to Casey?" ask Adeline to worry.

"Did Casey ever have an injury to his head?" darel looked at Adeline.

"I don't know Dariel. Casey never said she was sick" Adeline replied.

"Where have you been all this time. Until you don't know if Casey ever had an injury to his head and made his blood freeze in his brain" said Dariel angry.

"Don't yell at my wife Dariel" Malvin lamented.

"Casey has to be in surgery and the success rate is only 20 percent" said Dariel up and on the sofa.

"Ti. is impossible. Casey couldn't have left me." Adeline's mumbling almost fell if Malvin hadn't been quick to hold it.

"Ba. take me to see mommy hubby," Adeline cried. Malvin then nodded.

"Dariel, we'll be right back. Everything will be fine" Malvin patted Dariel's arm helplessly as he watched his loved one struggling in the operating room.

"I'm going to call my uncle and aunt to come" Malvin said, leaving with Adeline.

Adeline got down in a hurry from inside the car. He quickly entered his mother's house.

"Mom.." call Adeline open the door to Matilda's room, reflexively making the woman twist her body and see Adeline walking over to her. Matilda hid the photo album in her hand into the nightstand drawer.

"Darling what's going on, why are you crying," Matilda approached her daughter, Adeline's reflexes distancing herself making Matilda wrinkle her eyebrows.

"What now mommy is satisfied." said Adeline with her voice rising.

"What do you mean, dear.." Matilda was confused by Adeline's words.

"Casey's in mom's hospital" Adeline said.

"Ck. the child is always troublesome" decak Matilda.

"What mommy can't soften mommy's hard heart this time alone, I hate mommy," Adeline snapped angrily twisting her body and left.

Adeline stopped her steps for a moment.

"Casey's dying mom, dying. Not an ordinary pain" Adeline cried.

"Casey had a blood clot in his brain. And it happened a long time ago. The doctor said the success of the surgery was only 20 percent mom," after saying it was Adeline and then left. He had to go back to the hospital to see his sister.

"A.. I just misheard you, didn't I?" muttered Matilda sitting on the edge of her bed.

"No. The boy couldn't have died so quickly, right?" matilda said she denied her feelings were starting to get upset.

"No... Casey's not leaving so soon. He still wants to get my attention, doesn't he?" he said without realizing it, his eyes began to glaze over.

"Casey won't be gone forever" cried Matilda, unable to hold back her tears until she cried. The fear of losing Casey begins to haunt him. Matilda now regrets that she always ignored Casey. Casey who always loved him even though he openly showed his dislike for the boy. Wreaking her anger at Casey who knows nothing.

"My daughter will not leave me," muttered Matilda running out of her room. Hastily went down the stairs and picked up the driver to drive him to the hospital.
