LOVE AND SACRIFICE (Love And Sacrifice)
CHAPTER 43

The sky was still dark, when dawn broke. Kaylee opened the door to her apartment that she had occupied for the past few months.

The girl's face looked very tired and pale. Even his long hair was in a random loop upwards. Appears to Kaylee who hasn't slept all night. Kaylee's shivering body held the piercing cold to the bone.

One night he just sat quietly in a park chair in New York City until it was quiet visitors. Then return to Queen's city by night train.

 Kaylee simply cried and lamented the passing of her family which left her alone in this world. At a time when slowly he could forget the departure of Kaylaa and her papa, now the man who began to love her also hurt her heart.

"Life is so unfair to me".

After the unit door opens. Kaylee took a deep breath, taking off her shoes carelessly.

The girl was about to step into her room with footsteps so weak as to be powerless. Even Kaylee stepped up while holding hands on the tiny apartment wall.

"Darling...

Kaylee's footsteps stopped. His hearing clearly grasped the familiar voice in his ears. Kaylee shook her head.

 "I'm dreaming. I want a long sleep, my body is tired. I'm going back to Chicago. I have to get on with my life, keep the mama flower shop" Kaylee said, speaking to herself. Sounds so bitter.

Suddenly someone clutched the strong body that was so weak.

"Darling.forgive me. I didn't know you were Kaylee Kaylaa's brother. I'm sorry Kaylee–"

Kaylee was shocked, she forced both her neutrals to grow even though it still felt heavy because the girl was crying too much.

"A-pa what are you doing here? Unhand me!"

Kaylee's body was weak, but she was conscious. Kaylee did not believe what she saw. He blinked his eyes several times to wake himself up from the dream.

Flint held onto Kaylee's body tightly. "Why didn't you tell me the truth, that you weren't Kaylaa? Tory explained everything. He gave me the keys to your apartment. I'm so worried about you Kaylee".

Flint loosened his embrace, the sturdy hand framing Kaylee's pale face that felt extremely hot. Netra Flint stared gently into Kaylee's watery iris. It was clearly dark circles and puffiness under those beautiful eyes. Weary. Yes Kaylee looks so tired. His lips were shaking too. Flint saw all of that right in front of him.

"I'm sorry, dear–

"Leave me alone! I don't want to see you anymore!", said Kaylee sounding so weak. "I don't want to deal with you anymore! I don't want to see you anymore! Leave me–"

It was suddenly dark for Kaylee. Kaylee felt her body not powered anymore. Yet he could still hear Flint calling out to him and shaking his body.

*

"How's my lover doing, Roger? Do I need to take him to the hospital now? I don't want anything to do with it" said Flint looks panicked to find Kaylee fainted and her body temperature rises.

"Your love has a fever, her body is hot. He's dehydrated. It seems like he had a very hard day, to the point that his body was exhausted like this" said Roger, a friend of Flint's.

"You give me some of this medicine. But make sure he eats first, it seems like your lover's stomach is too long empty, it's not good for his health" said Roger while putting his equipment in a bag.

Flint nodded his head.

After Flint escorted Roger to the front door, he returned to the room. Seeing Kaylee's condition is so sad. Dropped weakly over a medium-sized place.

Flint approached her, sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Kaylee's face full of sweat.

Flint wiped the sweat with a small towel and compressed Kaylee's forehead to reduce her fever.

"What have I done to you. I'm sorry, honey. I regret..."

"Why did you leave me, mama, papa, Kaylaa. I'm alone.."

Kaylee muttered in her unreliability. The voice sounded so soft and poignant like carrying a very heavy burden. Flint heard it clearly. Even from the tip of Kaylee's eyes took out a clear crystal.

Flint could not hold himself back, his eyes were heated to see Kaylee's condition as now. All because of him. Yes Flint was well aware that the girl was rolled weakly helplessly because of him.

Making Kaylee cry all night, maybe she's been crying for days since Flint left her alone in the Maldives.

Flint rubbed Kaylee's face still feeling very hot. The man clasped Kaylee's hand tightly, peeling her repeatedly. "You're not alone baby, I'll always be with you. I'm sorry I made you cry, Kaylee".
