His Sexual Addiction

Chapter 34: Take A Deep Breath

In the midst of a gentle rain, we hurried back to the big mansion. The raindrops fell softly from the gray sky, making a quiet sound on the leaves and the ground. The air felt cool and fresh, and we could smell the wet earth around us. "It's raining, so—" Kiro started saying, but my phone suddenly rang in my pocket. I wondered who could be calling me at this time. Mama usually doesn't call me during work hours on regular days. I shrugged and answered the call. It turned out to be my younger brother, Dodong. He sounded… not well. "Sis! O-our Mother, M-mother..." he stuttered, and I could sense his confusion and worry. Something must be wrong; his tone gave it away. What happened? As the rain gently fell outside, I could feel my heart racing in my chest. Dodong's voice was barely audible over the phone, but his tone conveyed an undeniable nervousness that mirrored my own. I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt, trying to ease the growing tension within me. Then, amidst the rain's rhythm, I heard it—the sound that made my anxiety soar. Dodong's voice crackled through the phone, and his words seemed to tremble with emotion. He kept repeating the word 'mother' over and over again. Each time he said it, my nerves jolted with concern. "What happened to mother? What happened to her?" I asked urgently. "S-sis..." was all I heard from him, along with his cries. I became even more anxious and nervous. As I paced, my thoughts raced as fast as my footsteps. What could be wrong? I couldn't help but imagine the worst scenarios, my mind spiraling into a storm of anxious thoughts. The silence on the other end only added fuel to my panic. I tried to take deep breaths, to calm myself down, but it felt like an impossible task. The weight of uncertainty pressed heavily on my chest. "Tell me, Dodong! You're making me damn worried! What really happened to mom?! Stop crying, I can't understand anything!" I was getting angry at his unusual behavior, but at the same time, extreme nervousness gripped my chest. I felt Kiro approach me with questioning eyes, but he remained silent. "Sis... M-mama vomited blood... Lots of b-blood..." My heart pounded loudly in my chest, matching the dizzying swirl of emotions that surged throughContent © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

me. Blood? The mere thought of my mother vomiting blood filled me with a nauseating sense of fear and helplessness. The world around me seemed to blur as questions raced through my mind, each one more frantic than the last. "What happened? W-What on earth happened?!" I stammered, my voice trembling with a mixture of shock and desperation. The image of my mother, normally so vibrant and full of life, suffering in such a way was too much to bear. The surrounding felt suffocating, the air thick with worry and anxiety. I reached out, gripping the edge of a nearby table to steady myself, my knuckles turning white from the force of my grip. My mind raced with possibilities, each one more terrifying than the last. Did she fall? Was it an accident? Or was there something more sinister at play? The uncertainty gnawed at my insides, twisting my gut into knots. I wanted answers, but the fear of what those answers might be held me back from seeking them. Dodong's voice trembled as he spoke, and I could hear the fear and desperation in every word. "We are on a jeep, rushing Mother to the hospital, s-sis... I-I am so nervous... Only a few neighbors are with me..." he sobbed, and my heart sank with empathy for my little brother. The weight of the situation must have been overwhelming for him, and I wished I could be there to hold his hand, to reassure him that everything would be alright. As the rain poured heavily outside, the sound of it intensified the sense of urgency in Dodong's voice. I imagined him trying to navigate the rain-soaked streets, his young heart racing with worry for our mother's well-being. In my mind's eye, I could see him, small and vulnerable, doing his best to be strong in the face of this crisis. The thought of him facing such a daunting responsibility at his age made my heart ache with compassion and concern. As I listened to him sobbing on the phone, my heart ached with love and concern for him. "Rush Mother to the hospital, Dodong. I'll come to you, I'll follow," I told him firmly before ending the call. My heart raced as I hurried towards Miss Linda and Madam, my eyes welling up with tears and my nerves on edge. I was so anxious, wondering what had happened to Mother. The heaviness in my

chest was painful, making it hard to breathe. "Oh God, what could have happened to Mother?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear. Miss Linda looked concerned, reaching out to comfort me with her hands. Madam's face also showed worry, and their care meant a lot to me. I managed to inform them that I was going home. I couldn't bear it, and I cried in front of them while saying goodbye. I felt a great sense of nervousness. I quickly packed a few clothes, unsure of how many days I'd be away. Miss Linda's concern for me was evident as she mentioned the ongoing heavy rain and the approaching storm, according to the news. If it were any other day, her caring words would have made me smile, but my mind was preoccupied with worry for my family. "D-Dodong is the only one at the hospital, Miss. I'm nervous; I'll go crazy if I just stay here while my Mother is in the hospital," I explained, my voice still shaking from crying. My heart ached at the thought of my little brother shouldering the responsibility alone, and I knew I had to be there for him and my mother. Without wasting any more time, I hurriedly left the maid's quarters. The journey home was going to be a challenging one, but the urgency to be with my family outweighed any discomfort I might face. I even ran into Joday, who was shocked to see me crying while carrying my bags. "Hey Lyka, are you sure you're going home right now? The rain is heavy, and there's a storm. You can go tomorrow, not now..." Madam said, concerned. "I'll be fine, Madam. Mother needs me there," I reassured her. "It's raining hard, you might not be able to get a ride home... I'm just worried—" Madam was interrupted by Kiro's voice. "Don't worry, Ma. I'll accompany her," Kiro declared. I stared at Kiro, my eyes wide with shock and disbelief. The weight of the situation seemed to hang heavily in the air, and his unexpected offer to accompany me home amidst the pouring rain left everyone in awe. It was evident from the expressions on their faces that they were as surprised as I was. Miss Linda looked at Kiro with a mixture of admiration and concern, her hands slightly trembling.

Madam's eyes held a glimmer of gratitude, touched by Kiro's willingness to stand by my side in this difficult time. Even Joday, who had just witnessed our conversation, had a look of surprise on her face, not expecting such a gesture from him. Madam coughed. "In that case, be careful, son... and of course you too, Lyka," Madam said, and we both nodded. I couldn't feel anything but worry. As the heavy rain poured outside, Kiro and I hurried through the mansion's hallways, my heart racing with gratitude for his company. We rushed towards the parking lot, where their car was waiting. Kiro started the car right away, and we were ready to set off. I felt restless and nervous. What could have happened to Mama? The rain kept pouring, making everything outside blurry. I clutched my bag tightly, the few clothes inside a small comfort amidst the uncertainty. As we drove away from the mansion, my focus was solely on getting home to Mama. Everything else felt distant and unimportant. Kiro's presence beside me was reassuring. He understood how serious the situation was, and I felt grateful for him. I really hoped and prayed Mother would be okay. The rain continued to fall heavily, as if the sky was crying along with me. My heart felt heavy with concern. "What happened to your mom, Lyka?" Kiro asked while keeping his eyes on the road. Tears welled up in my eyes again, and my heartbeat raced. "She was rushed to the hospital, Kiro... Dodong said she vomited blood..." I explained, tears flowing down my cheeks. "C-can we hurry? I-I can't wait any longer, only Dodong is there... Datdat and Papa are also sick..." I pleaded with him. "Take a deep breath, Lyka... I'll try to speed up, but we need to be careful. The road is slippery because of the rain," he said, glancing at me from time to time. I swallowed, realizing how foolish my question was. We might get into an accident if we're not careful. I continued to sob softly. Whenever I think of my mother, I can't help but cry, especially since she was rushed to the hospital today. I really want to get to the hospital. Thank goodness Kiro decided

to accompany me, as it would have been very difficult and time-consuming to take three buses to get back home. "Just relax, Lyka... Nothing bad will happen to your mother, okay?" Kiro assured me, trying to comfort me. To calm down, I decided to call Dodong again, but I couldn't reach him. "K-Kiro... I can't contact Dodong. W-what could have happened to Mother?" I worriedly asked, pressing the buttons on my phone frantically. "Just take a rest, Lyka. There's nothing good about worrying right now. Go to sleep first, and when you wake up, I promise we'll be at the hospital," he reassured me. I gave him the address of the hospital that Dodong had texted me earlier. As he suggested, I tried to put my anxiety to rest and fell asleep, hoping that when I wake up, we'll already be at the hospital.
