Chapter 19 % Mommy my son cried in his sleep .
Im s sorry .
Ill be a g good … good boy .
C come back , Mommy .
Hes been murmuring the same words in his sleep for the past three nights in the hospital , begging , crying out to his mother .
I wonder if Hestia hears him in his dreams , only to turn him away , which is why he keeps pleading Wake up , Lorde .
You missed your practice and lessons .
The party you have been looking forward to is almost here , I whispered to him .
!! I have been asking him to wake up for days , but still he does not respond .
This time , the doctor suggested something different .
I think it would be good if you asked his mommy to come home for him , Sir , he said to me .
I looked at him .
There was no trace of mockery in his voice , maybe because he doesnt know the truth about Hestia .
Maybe he thinks .
shes just busy with work or away traveling , not that shes abandoned our child .
Maybe if she were here , your son would wake up .
For now , I think shes the one holding himself back .
Hes afraid of something , of her absence , of waking up to a reality without a mother beside him , he added.W I exhaled sharply and rubbed my temples .
I begged Hestia to come back , but she never replied .
Her last message was about the divorce , and she ignored my calls .

I dont know if she blocked me or left , leaving everything to her attorney.M I keep hoping shell show up at our sons hospital room , desperate to see him .
But she never does .
Instead , the one I pushed away for being reckless came back .
Just like now .
Lucian , let me speak to him .
Maybe he will listen to me .
He loves me , Beverly said .
She is persistent , to the point that she is becoming a problem I want to erase so she never shows up again.N po I have to call the police for you , Beverly ? I asked coldly .
She turned pale at my words .
I stood up and smiled coldly .
Or do you want me to send you to one of these hospital rooms so you stop bothering us ? I saw her eyes flash with anger and humiliation .
Without a word , she turned and left with long strides .
Only then did I breathe easier , the tension in my chest loosening.N Another day passed .
The doctor said Lorde must wake up within four days , but it still hadnt happened .
My last hope was Hestias stepmother , Mrs.
Scott.N I forced myself down the long path to her door and rang the bell .
It took two minutes before the old woman opened it .
Shock was written all over her face .
Lucian ? Why are you here ? I swallowed hard .
I never had to beg her for Chesca .

She liked me back then .
I did not need to work hard to gain her trust so I could marry her daughter .
But now it is different.M Come insi- she did not finish her sentence.N Her jaw dropped as I sank to my knees .
My eyes were heavy from four sleepless days , working in court by day , staying beside Lorde by night , hoping hed wake up .
Night and day , I begged God to bring back Hestia , because I believe the answer to all the problems with my son is my wife , his mother .
Mom , can you bring Hestia back to us ? I asked hoarsely .
She gasped at what I said .
I lowered my head.N Your grandson is still in the hospital .
Hes in a coma .
Its been four days , and thats all the time the doctor gave .
They suggested bringing his mother back , because thats all he keeps saying in his sleep .
He just keeps asking for Hestia to come back .
Oh , Lucian … I heard Mrs.
Scotts voice , filled with concern .
Did you try to contact her already ? Come inside first , please .
I nodded and followed her inside , to the same house I used to visit when Chesca was still alive .
Now I am here , begging for her other daughter .
Lucian , Hestia is actually traveling .
She told me she threw away her phone and got a new one , but she only wants to receive emergency messages or calls .
@ But this is our son , I told her .

He is the emergency .
He needs her more than anything else .
W Sadness filled her expression .
I took her hand , nearly falling to my knees again .
Please , I need Hestia .
My son and I , we cannot live without her .
We will not survive without her .
But she wants out , Lucian , she replied , and my shoulders dropped .
Her voice was filled with sorrow .
Hestia agreed to care for Lorde until he could manage , and to marry you until you and your son could stand on your own .
I just hoped , after five years , youd be a real family and she wouldnt have to break the deal .
} My brows furrowed .
What deal ? She had told me before that HEstia was the one who suggested I marry Hestia , saying Hestia was willing to be a mother to my child .
She had pushed the idea of marriage and being a family .
What deal ? I asked coldly .
She sat down and let out a long sigh .
That if she stays with you and raises Lorde for five years , I would let her live her life however she wanted .
That was our deal .
And she wants it fulfilled .
