Chapter 215 OTHER OPTIONS
1779words
I was so close to having her, to savor her, getting her back in my arms, when my little son innocently interrupts our private moment that could have given him a sister.
Sigh.
Frustrated, I leave her room without informing her about the appointment, and in the morning, I intentionally send Miss Martha to inform her about Aaron's appointment.
This way it is better, the more we get closer to each other the more embarrassed we would be of each other.
****
Tessa's face turned paler after listening to the treatment of Aaron and what cautions Cyrus needs to take in order to donate his bone marrow to Aaron, and that will only happen when he would come out as his match.
For that the doctor is 90% sure and so am I.
I know this treatment is going to be very difficult for Aaron and Cyrus and for me and Tessa too.
We all have to be strong to go through it.
Tessa's body tense beside me as we reach near to the room where Cyrus has been waiting for us.
The doctor has advised us to not show up but to watch him from the side as our presence would add to his tantrum and will make their work difficult.
The doctor very cleverly put Cyrus into talk as I and Tessa watch him intently, as we had expected Cyrus starts to throw tantrum at the mention of the needle but after some negotiations and convincing he finally agrees making me and Tessa amused all of sudden.
I lean on the glass trying to overhear their conversation, how this man was able to convince Cyrus, how?
Tessa also looks at him in disbelief, I am not the only shocked here, she also looks shaken by this sudden change in Cyrus's personality.
In front of our eyes, the doctor draws his blood while he sits calmly with his eyes closed and flinches a little when the needle pierces his skin.
Unbelievable.
The doctor calmly walks out of the room with a triumphant smile on his face and I control myself to not strangle him. What the hell did he say to him?
"What did you say to him?" I ask in a whisper looking eagerly at him.
"As I have told you, Sir. That's my job to do. Please leave everything on me." He remains overconfident while I roll my eyes at him in dissatisfaction.
"Can I meet Cyrus, now?" Tessa asks him anxiously and he shakes his head in response.
"I am afraid there is something I need to discuss with you two." He says getting back to his poker professional face and nervously I and Tessa follow him while giving each other anxious glances all the way.
"Uhm... I would like you both to be honest with me whenever you both answer my questions." The doctor begins with a cold serious tone and I and Tessa hold our breaths thinking something terrible is going to come regarding Aaron's treatment but the words that come out of his mouth completely disappoint me and Tessa.
"How's your both relationship?"
Relationship, Woah, That means Aaron is ok, nothing to worry about.
"Fine."
"Normal."
Tessa replies and then I follow.
The doctor looks at me and then Tessa as he starts to inquire, "How much normal?"
and we both look at him in confusion, what kind of question is this? And since when he has become a marriage counselor instead of a pediatrician?
Looking at our blank faces, he begins to explain. "I mean... are you normal husband and wife? Because as far as I know I haven't seen Aaron's mother once in these last three years or I would say since I detected his disease."
"There had been some issues," I tell him diffusely.
"Huh..." He takes a deep breath and then again begins with his same poker face, "I just like to put this in both of your knowledge as the parent of Aaron that if... if Aaron's sample doesn't match to his twin brother which is very limited but still there is a chance that Cyrus won't match him. In that case, there are other options for Aaron." He exhales looking at me and Tessa with a firm gaze.
"Other options?" Tessa asks for a brief explanation.
"Yes, we would look for his match from the other resources or..." He pauses again making suspense and then gulping, he finally reveals, "You both could solve your issues and try for another child, I mean the third child."
BOOM
He gives us a tight smile while both our faces drop in utter disappointment.
Huh, a child? She won't let me touch her, making a child is just a dream.
Nope, she won't do it I am damn sure about it. She hates me for God's sake.
Before I would refuse the doctor's suggestion for the "Other Options" Tessa refuses him bluntly.
"This isn't going to happen. You have to find another way."
"Uhmm... That's the only option and I have explained them well to both of you." The doctor says calmly dismissing us both. He could see the fury rising in Tessa and before she will explode he politely asks us to leave.
A Clever move.
After the Doctor's disturbing suggestions, I expect Tessa to walk towards Cyrus's room to see him but no, she surprisingly starts to walk in a different direction and scurries out of the hospital with a face full of displeasure ignoring my presence behind her.
She looks f**king mad, but what's my fault in this?
Regardless of the rain, she keeps walking further away from me to the street and groaning, I finally hold her shoulders to stop her, "Tessa." I turn her around and meet with her red blood eyes, there is moisture on her face that's the raindrops or her tears mixing with them. I am not sure about it.
"It's fine. We'll save Aaron." I try to comfort her worries but she angrily pushes me away from her, growling in disdain, "How..."
"If this is any kind of your little trick to put me in your bed again, then listen to me, Andrew Jack. I'll die but won't let you insult me again." She yells furiously and thankfully no one is around to hear her despicable words.
"Insult? What the hell are you talking about?" I ask fuming in anger.
"Oh... Don't pretend, Andrew. Didn't you come over last night with the intention of insulting me, huh? Pushing me to your bed, under you. That's all you want from me. F**k, right?" She laughs sarcastically and I fight with all my nerves to not slap her across the face so she would stop sputtering nonsense.
"I had always made loved to you. How dare you use such a word for us, Tessa. Have you gone mad or what?" I shake her furiously both of us completely drenched under the freezing rain.
"You had accepted that you never loved me." She reminded me bitterly.
"And I had even told you that I was falling for you," I argue.
"Lies... All Lies... What you have given me in that marriage was hurt, disappointments, and definitely a passionate f**k. Or I would say many f**ks."
Her words make my ear explode literally. Does she think I was after her body only, really? Where did I lack in showing her my love, my concern, her love is like a deep agony in my heart, her words are so sharp that it seems like cutting the flesh of my heart until it bleeds me to death?
"If one more time, you dare to insult my love for you. I swear, I'll kill you, Tessa." Getting emotional, I hold her shoulder and pull her closer to me as I hiss angrily, my breath fanning on her face.
"You had killed me the day you confessed the truth about our contract marriage." She says bitterly and I look at her helplessly.
What should I do to eliminate her assumptions?
She put her hands on my chest tiredly, and shaking her head, she tries to push me away lightly, "Let me go."
"I can't," I tell her hoarsely as I lower my head and hold her face in my hands. No more hesitation, no more second thoughts, as in an instant moment I slam my lips onto hers. Tessa didn't even pretend to fight with me as she silently melt under my touch.
My hand goes into her wet hair, and tugging her head back I get better access to her mouth as she opens up for me willingly. My tongue hungrily probes at hers, leaving not any part of her mouth unexplored. I pour my all yearning of four years into this kiss and the way she reciprocates I am damn sure, she yearns for me the same way. Burns for me just the way I did.
No matter how venomous words she chooses to say to me I know deep inside she still loves me, she is still that little innocent Tessa who had a crush on me and was head over heels in love with me.
She wraps her arm around me, digging her fingers in my back as she arches up against me, our body grinding together as my groin rubs her torso and I swallow all her moans. I didn't want to end this kiss but the sound of the car horn close by made us both jump away from each other guiltily as I realize that we are giving a great show to the passers-by still getting drenched in rain.
Both panting and shaking from the overwhelming kiss after effect.
"I am sorry that I hurt you," I murmur in a hoarse voice when she raises her blue eyes and looks straight into my soul.
"It's too late for all of this," She says in a small broken voice and then starts shaking her head in regret.
"Tessa..." I take a step toward her but her cold attitude makes me stop abruptly. She raises her hand to stop me and then with firm eyes she states aggressively, "Don't ever touch me. Don't." And just like that, she runs back inside the hospital as though I have suddenly become a ghost to her.
Sigh...
I thought that kiss pretty sure proves that she still loves me or I am still genuine to her but Nah, instead it frightened her, and now she has pushed herself far away from me locking the door of her heart forever for me.
When she will be able to open up her heart to me, again?
When?
