CHAPTER 53☆54
♡´･ᴗ･`♡ COMPLETELY NUMB ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
“Where I had my baby, Jerome. But he dìed” Janella told him, her head put down in hurt.
“Oh my….what?!!” Jerome’s eye balls almost left their sockets.
“You….Janella, you have a….baby?” Jerome asked, totally shocked. Too shocked that he didn’t even hear the part Janella said the baby dìed.
His eyes were utterly still in shocks as they just remained wide and refused to go back to their normal size.
He cannot just believe what he heard Janella say.
Whoa!
He never expected to hear this. In fact, he had never even imagined to hear something like this from her.
“Had him, Jerome. He dièd the moment he was born” Janella said, trying to stop those stubborn tears from coming out as she just kept sniffling.
“What the f*ck?!” Jerome cursed inwardly when he finally heard that part that he did not hear before.
Seeing those tears, Jerome’s heart instantly began to ache again because those tears of hers were starting to hurt him. So much more than he ever thought he’d be hurt too when he sees Janella hurting.
He immediately hugged her while they were still sitting down, making her bury her face on his comforting chest.
“It’s okay, Ella. Please stop letting those tears out, they are hùrting me” Jerome said, kissing her hair, then her forehead.
“I’m sorry, Jerome. But I don’t think I want to talk about it now. I’m sorry” Janella said lowly.
“Hey, hey….baby, that’s enough, okay? You’ll tell me about it when you’re ready, and in your right state of mind. Not when you’re like this, hmm? I’m so sorry for the loss of your baby, please stop the tears. We’ll talk about this when you’re better, okay?” Jerome kissed her hair again. That long forehead or hair kiss he always gives Desiree, was what he gave Janella again and again, on both her hair and forehead.
He felt like not letting her go. Like, they should just keep hugging that way till the next day.
Desiree wasn’t even aware of what was going on because of her cartoons, and the reading table wasn’t close to the bed. So she was unaware of everything.
°°° BIG MOMMA’S HOME ～☆
“Abbey, why are you so stubborn? Aren’t you going to pick that call and let them know you’re alright and nothing is wrong with you? Can’t you see they are obviously worried about your whereabouts?” Big Momma half yelled at Abbey who is still refusing to pick her her parent’s call.
“But what…. where am I supposed to tell them I am, grandma? I think they deserve the snub” Abbey frowned and dropped her phone that just finished ringing a second ago.
“Be quiet, you stubborn child, and and pick that call. Let them know you are okay. You can tell them where you are, it does not….
“What?! Ah! Grandma, I can’t do that. Do you want Janella to kìll me? You have no idea how much I have missed her, and now that I’m finally here with her, live and direct, you want me to ruin that opportunity? Hell no!” Abbey quickly cut in when Big Momma tried to tell her to let her parents know she’s at her place, which of course she knows Janella won’t be happy if she learns that..
Big Momma went quiet for a moment and couldn’t say anything. She just kept staring at Abbey without knowing exactly what to utter out to this stubborn girl.
Did she just say “live and direct?”
Oh goodness gracious!
Big Momma chuckled inwardly and shook her head in amusement.
She understands that Abbey is trying to do what will not make her sister get mad at her than she already is, but this girl’s stubbornness is just too much.
She’s always so adamant and it’s always hard, of not impossible to get her to change her mind. Unlike her elder sister.
While Big Momma was thinking about all that, Abbey’s phone began to ring again.
Slowly and mischievously, Abbey turned to look at her grandma who was already glaring seriously at her.
“Pick that d@mn call, or I throw you out of my house! You don’t have to tell them exactly where you are, just think of something to tell them!” Big Momma shouted and Abbey pouted, before hesitantly picking up her phone.
“Hey….dad” She said slowly, immediately she swiped green.
“Oh, goodness, Abbey! You got us so worried! Why the hell were you refusing to pick our calls? Are you okay? Where are you?” That was her mom’s voice, coming out happily and at the same time, worried.
“I am fine and I’m okay where I am as well” Abbey simply said.
“Thank goodness you’re alright. Your dad and I were worried sick of your whereabouts. Why would you leave the house like that without letting anyone know?” Mrs. Hills asked, a bit calm this time.
“Mom, I am not a kid, okay?” Abbey replied, stubbornly instead.
“Stop being stubborn, Abbey! You got us so worried. We were just about going to the cops to declare you missing. You’re too stubborn!” Mr. Hills was the one who spoke this time, yelling at Abbey.
“Stop yelling, dad, or I will end this call. I am fine and nothing is wrong with me, are you okay now?” Abbey asked and Mr. Hills could only sigh out.
“When are you coming back home, Abbey?” Mrs. Hills spoke again, asking.
“I don’t know, mom. I only left home yesterday, geez! I’m on a vacation with a friend, so I don’t know when I’m coming back. Enjoy the house alone with your sweet husband” Abbey sarcastically said, smiling. Big Momma’s mouth was wide a bit, staring at her in wonder.
Is this girl really alright upstairs?
Anyway, after a little more talk, the call was disconnected.
“Did you dìe?” Big Momma asked immediately.
“Leave me alone, grandma, they’re annoying and frustrating!” Abbey replied instead, frowning.
Yep, she’s right about that.
Same way they frustrated the hell out of Janella.
°°° THE MERYERS MANSION °°° NIGHT～☆
Mrs. Meryers was seen walking around her room when a knock came at her door.
“Come in” She simply and lowly said to the person at the door.
Bianca slowly walked in after being permitted to, and the moment she walked in, she saw her mom with her late dad’s picture, running her fingers over it with a sad smile.
“Mom….” She called immediately, slowly dragging the name.
Her mom immediately turned on hearing her voice.
She smiled at Bianca, though not a very happy one. Then she walked to her bed and sat down gently.
“You miss dad, don’t you?” Bianca asked as she settles her a.ss down on the bed beside her mom.
“Of course I do, Bianca. I miss my husband every single day that passes, and just wish….I just wish life let him stay a little longer with us. He would be celebrating his fifty seventh birthday today if he was alive, you know” Mrs. Meryers said and Bianca only sighed, but smiled anyway.
She knew her mom would be in her room doing this, because she does this everytime it’s her late dad’s birthday.
That’s why she came to check on her.
Each year that passes, seems to her like her husband just dièd yesterday.
“I know, mom. We all know today is dad’s birthday” Bianca said, holding her mom’s hand gently.
“You know, a lot of things changed after your father’s déath. Things would be a lot easier and easily done if your dad was still alive”
“Your father would have found a way out for a lot of things happening right now, you know. I feel so bad that I, as a mother and aparently the father of the house now, cannot really do anything to help my poor son.
Things are worsening each passing day, yet I can’t help find any solution for your poor brother”
“He’s going through so much….he’s facing a lot, Bianca” Mrs. Meryers said.
“Honestly, mom, I don’t know why anyone would choose to do this. Who would h@të us this much to that extent?
What hurts most is that Jerome is yet to regain his memory. It’s been how many years now, yet nothing.
Things would be a lot easier if he could at least remember a little of his past. We can’t even tell the cops about this, because what are we even going to tell them happened?
All is well, mom. Everything is going to be alrhght, I believe so. I know there is a lot to be worried about, but let’s not always dwell on that. Everything will be alright, hopefully” Bianca spoke calmly, trying all she can to make her mom feel better.
They weren’t done talking when Bianca’s phone came ringing.
She smiled immediately when she saw that it was Jerome that was calling.
“Speaking of Jerome” She chuckled, turning to look at her mom who let out a small smile too.
“Hey, lover man” Bianca quickly said, the moment she picked.
“Oh, so I’m a man now? Thought I was still your baby brother” Jerome chuckled, likewise Bianca.
“You’ll always be my baby brother as long as I am your elder sister, just so you know. So you remember you still have a sister, right?” Bianca asked, rolling eyes that Jerome could not even see.
“Seriously? Are we still talking about this?” Jerome laughed out, shortly.
Bianca is still talking about how Jerome ignored her the other day, and Jerome keeps laughing at that.
“Um, yeah? After helping you out, you had to reward me by ignoring the hell out of me, geez! I didn’t know love can be this sweet and annoying” Bianca said and Jerome cackled out loud from his end. It’s so funny with the way she said it.
“d@mn, Bianca! It wasn’t that bad, you know. Stop exaggerating, please. I thought we’ve settled this already?”….
“Shut up! We have not. You have to appease the gods first before anything can be settled” Bianca said, making Jerome to laugh hard.
“Where’s mom?” Jerome suddenly asked after some time of laughing.
“I’m here with her. You know today is dad’s birthday, and you know what she does when it’s that time of the year” Bianca said, turning again to look at her mom who has now gone back to what she was doing.
“How can I forget that? I hope she’s alright though? I actually called her in the afternoon”….
“Oh! She’s good, though z. How are you and Desiree?” Bianca asked too and Jerome replied her, warmly.
“We should all visit dad’s grave tomorrow, BiBi, by evening since it’s already late today” Jerome said and BiBi couldn’t have agreed more.
Although, that’s what they do every month, especially when it is his birthday.
But they couldn’t do that today.
“Yeah, definitely. I was even going to say that. I’ll try and be back from work early enough tomorrow” Bianca replied, though Jerome didn’t say anything.
“So how is she?” Bianca further asked, referring to Janella.
“She’s okay. She…actually said we should visit another hospital” Jerome said.
“Oh, really? Well, that’s a good idea, you know. At least she cares and it’s obvious she’d do everything to help you. See why I told you to also let her about your health? I think she’s a nice lady, and….I don’t want to jump into that conclusion yet though, but I think she truly loves you” Bianca said.
Jerome smiled hard from his end because he knew what Bianca just said was true.
He doesn’t even need anyone to tell him that.
“Well, you know I have visited another hospital before, but the results were still the same” Jerome said. Bianca just sighed from her end.
“Just give it another trial, Jerome” Bianca encouraged him.
They spoke for quite long, just talking about random things before the call ended.
°°° JEROME’S LUXURIOUS HOME °°°NEXT DAY MORNING ～☆
Jerome was preparing himself for the appointment Janella said she booked for him.
She was lucky enough to be given an appointment today. So, they both agreed to go together.
They have lectures today though, but they are going for the appointment first, then go to school from there.
So, Jerome was still in his room, getting ready when his phone started ringing.
He hesitated at first, but the call came again and again, and he could only wonder why someone would be calling him continuously like that.
After wearing his cologn; favorite.
He finally decided the pick the phone that started ringing again.
“Doctor Mark?” He frowned a little, wondering why doctor Mark is calling him this early in the morning.
Oh! It must be about his next dialysis.
“Good morning, Doctor Mark. Ugh….I was actually planning to call you concerning the drugs. They are almost finished, and I might be coming to get….
“Mr Jerome, you have to listen to what I am about to tell you, please” Doctor Mark instantly cut Jerome off, stopping him from saying wh@tëver he wanted to say.
“Okay…..but I hope everything is alright with you? You sound a bit tensed” Jerome said as he could already tell that something was not right with his doctor due to his shaky and tensed voice.
“I don’t know if everything will still be alright after I say what I’m about to tell you” Doctor Mark said, and instantly, Jerome began to get worried.
“Doctor Mark….? What’s going on? Why are you sounding this way? You’re talking like someone is after you. Is everything alright at home….hospital?” Jerome asked him numerous questions at a time as he felt too worried for the man already.
“I am sorry, Mr. Jerome, but you have to promise me that you will find a place in your heart to forgive me no matter what I am going to say to you right now” Doctor Mark continued to get Jerome more confused.
“Huh? What are you talking about, doctor? You have done me no wrong, so I don’t see anything there to forgive or not forgive” Jerome replied immediately, already getting frustrated since the doctor was confusing the d@mn hell out of his head.
“Just promise me, please” The doctor said and after much forward and backward talks, Jerome agreed and asked him to go on with what he wants to tell him.
“You have to stop taking those drugs, Mr. Jerome. Incinerate them and never have anything to do with them” Doctor Mark started and Jerome’s frown was more than just a frown as he couldn’t believe what he just heard his own doctor say.
He should stop taking the drugs that are helping him sustain his life a little longer?
“Doctor Mark, I do not understand what is going on. Why are you asking me to stop taking my drugs? Do you want me to dìe before the actual time?” Jerome asked him in an unbelievable tone.
“Sir, you have to listen to me, because what I want to tell you right now is nothing, but the truth”
“Those drugs you have been taking all these years, are cancer drugs that are slowly killing you, Mr. Jerome. Someone is trying to kìll you, and is doing that slowly because the person wants you to suffer slowly before you dìe” Doctor Mark told Jerome and the poor guy staggered as he didn’t expect to hear what his doctor just said.
It felt like a little earthquake had just taken place, and the ground shook so bad that Jerome couldn’t stand his ground as a result of the impact it made.
What?!!!!!
Someone trying to what? Slowly kill him?
Why? What did he do? What has he done?
“I am sorry I have been hiding this from you this whole years, Mr. Jerome. My life and my family’s are in grave danger. I have tried so many times to tell you, but I was always threatened and it feels like I’m being watched every second of the day”
“I know I have been selfish; protecting my life and destroying someone else’s. Please forgive me. I know how much trust you had in me back in the years before this incident happened, and you still had that trust in me, but I have failed you, shamefully. I’m deeply sorry, sir”
“Stop taking those drugs, please. Go to another hospital and make sure they run a proper test… Make sure they flush everything out before it kills you. And the reason you still haven’t regained your memory yet is because you have also been taking drugs that will stop you from regaining your memory. The person behind this is closest to you than you can ever imagine, and they pretend to love and care about you, whereas they don’t. I don’t know the reason for all that hatred, but you need to be careful, Mr. Jerome. I’m so scared right now that I can’t disclose the person’s identity, my family’s life is at stake”
“The only health issue you have, is your erectile dysfunction/incapability of getting a woman pregnant, which was caused by the accident you had”
“You have never had, and do not have any cancer, Mr. Jerome…..” Doctor Mark told Jerome everything.
Jerome’s brain instantly shut down!!
His eyes began to twitch continuously like a faulty bulb about to blow up.
Jerome just stood still like a chained zombie who has no control over his body, and just kept staring at no particular direction, blankly.
In fact, he couldn’t feel his body because everything went numb! Totally and completely numb.
He could feel the things around him, and even himself, spinning dizzily.
The only thing he could do, was the loud maniacal scream he let out like a helpless insane guy.
“Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!…..” His scream came out loudly….
