Chapter 62
Irene’s POV:
*Please, forgive me, Irene.” Eva rasped before she was completely pulled under, and a tear escaped my eyes as I watched her sleeping figure
I have to be there for her. She needs me.
Those words chanted in my head and I subconsciously nodded to myself, knowing that’s exactly what I have to do. This is my decision and nobody will change my mind about that.
“I will be here when you wake up, Just sleep” I said to her even dinugh I knew she couldn’t hear whatever I was saying. T quickly dragged a chair close to the bed, sat on it, and grabbed her hand into mine.
1 can’t let her kill herself, especially not in my name. So if I have to watch her like a hawk every damn second, I will do that
at least until she can walk again and out of that suicidal mind state.
“Irene.” Damien sofily called, and without looking at him, I hummed in response, “Mmmm.”
“She’s already sedated, let’s leave her to sleep.” He said in a low tone but those were words 1 didn’t want to hear. Words like leaving Eva to be all alone in this room.
“What if she wakes up and sees nobody is here so she attempts again?” I pointed out, hoping Damien saw my reason.
“She’s sleeping, we can come to check on her later. But we also have to address another pressing issue.” He said to me as if that was supposed to do the trick of making me leave Eva alone. But he was so wrong. Nothing could get me out of her sight.
I’m not ready to spend the rest of my life being ridden with guilt that could have been prevented. Then it would become a tragic story that has a ‘Had I Known‘ in the title.
I don’t just want to be physically available for my son but I also want to be emotionally and mentally there for him. But if I am living every day of my life as a guilt–ridden soul, what then would become my promise of being all available for my son?
No, I can’t jeopardize anything. I can’t risk the future.
Yes, I’m angry at Eva. But I refuse to let her kill herself. If forgiveness is all she seeks from me, then I would gladly give it to
her.
I don’t want my hands to be stained with the blood of another.
Not in this lifetime. Not in any lifetime.
“Irene,” Damien called again as he didn’t get any response from me. I had nothing to say to him. If he couldn’t tell what my dilemma was, then he should be patient till when I could tell him exactly what was going on in my head, but for now, all wanted to do was to be there for Eva.
She was undeserving of my attention and affection. But right now, she needs it at the utmost level.
“There’s another pressing issue you need to know about. And we have to talk about it now, but I can’t tell you here. Please. Jet’s go outside.” Damien pleaded, I turned to look at him and I could see honesty dancing in his eyes that he was not trying to lure me away from Eva. He really just has something to say to me,
I looked at Steven’s face and I was met with a worried expression Was another thing happening? Was it about my son? Am 1 going to finally run mad?
“Breathe, Irene. Breathe.” My inner self crooned to me and I did just that. Inhaling and exhaling deeply.

Chapter 62
“What’s this matter about? Lasked
“It’s also Eva. But the press is saying more things. And you need to see it so you can make a decision on what we have to do. I don’t want to just go ahead and do something that you might not like that is why I am trying to show you. But I don’t want us talking in her presence. It won’t be good for her.” Damien explained and his words finally struck a cord within that made me feel a bit rational.
My gaze darted back to Eva, and I could see that she was in a deep sleep. My hand was still holding hers, so I slowly let it go She is not going to wake up immediately after I leave. She looks really deeply asleep. Those were what I tried to use to calm myself from overthinking and overfeeling.

“Let’s go. But let’s make it snappy.” I said to them, got on my feet and we went outside the room, standing by the
And all Damien had to do was show me the tabloid. It was another headline that read that Eva was about to commit suicide because of guilt over her sister.
This is getting out of hand.” 1 angrily said.
“Who is giving these reporters information! Is this hospital even safe?” I asked, looking around the hallway to see if I could catch any nurse and question her.
“Someone has to be giving them all this information. But what we need to do is quench the fire they have started. We can deal with other issues like this hospital security measures afterward.” Damien said and I nodded. He was right.
“So do you have any ideas?” Steven asked a serious expression resting on his face.
My head was blank but I knew I had to think fast so I could stop these crazy reporters from all of this. And after Eva is up, if she can be discharged, I would rather take her home where she will be safe and sound.
Instead of facing the risk of her condition being constantly leaked to the press or the risk of her attempting again.
“I know what to do,” I said aloud and pushed open the door to check that she was still sleeping. Maybe I’m just being paranoid but I didn’t trust that I was watching her from afar.
What if she’s pretending?
So I walked in and checked on her properly, making sure she was still deeply asleep and there were no sharp objects nearby,
“What do you plan to do?” Damien asked after a few seconds.
“I will talk to the reporters myself,” I replied confidently.
