Chapter 95

“Clara!”

She whispered with excitement as I entered the room. I smiled brightly at her, whispering to make sure I didn’t wake Maria.

“I’m just checking Maria’s vitals, I’ll be quick.”

After checking that everything was good, I felt my arm jerk as I began to leave. Arla was holding my hand tightly, tears forming in her eyes. Suddenly, she pulled me in for a hug.

“Clara,”

She whispered.

“I will never be able to repay this debt you, but I hope you know…I’ll spend the rest of my life trying. Thank you for giving me my baby back.”

I hugged Arla back, the tears in my eyes now pouring. I wanted to reassure her.

“Mrs. Taylor, you don’t owe me a thing! Thank you for allowing me the chance to fulfill my

mother’s dream.”

We hugged in silence for a few more minutes, Ethan then walked into the room. Wiping our faces, we both smiled and nodded to each other. Arla let me go and I said good night to both her and Ethan. My emotions were running high; I had to head home.

Ethan’s POV:

I walked in just as Clara and mom were hugging and crying. I wasn’t sure what happened, but I’m sure it was because of Maria getting better. Over the past three months, Maria’s health skyrocketed. You could clearly see the significant improvement in her health. This past week, we were able to confirm; the cancer was officially gone. Maria’s red and white blood cells had finally normalized, no traces of damaged cells.

Clara had done it! Her treatment was a success! All that remained was an additional 30 days of monitoring before she could go home!

My mother wiped her eyes as she made her way back to her chair. I walked over to sit in the chair next her. Silence filled the room as the TV’s sound remained low so that Maria could sleep. My mother suddenly turned to face me, breaking her silence.

“If I have too, I tell your father to force an arranged marriage.”

WHAT!!!! Where the hell did that come from!

“Mom what are talking about!”

I could feel my voice starting to rise. My mother went back to watching the TV, her voice above a whisper.

“Keep your voice down honey, your sister is sleeping.”

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Mom, what are you-”

“You’re in love with her honey. It’s no point in denying it; not to me. I’m your mother, I can see the way you look at her.”

My mother turned to me, a slight and compassionate smile on her face.

“It’s the same way your father looks at me. So, I can recognize it.”

Where was this coming from! I was at a loss for words. ‘Did I love her?‘ My mind couldn’t wrap around the thought. I was true, I grew to care a great deal about Clara, how could I not? We were together all the time, and she was amazing; but was it love? My mother continued to smile, turning her face back to the TV.

“Try not to think too much about it. Take your time to process your feelings, you’ll know when the time is right to confess.”

Her words were filled with love and compassion, and then, in an instant…her tone

became serious. Almost frightening.

:

“But know this, if you don’t eventually ask her, I’ll make the decision for you! No way I’m

letting some other family take her away!”

In the 23 years I had been on this planet, never had I been afraid of my mother. Tonight, a slight shiver crept down my spine.
