Chapter 78 DIGGING THE PAST

It's been a week since Ulysses had the operation and Vince has also been buried.

We are all excited and hope that it will be successful and hope that my son is really ok. Ever since Vince visited Ulysses, my son keeps on asking if Vince will visit him. We can't tell him the truth now so we just said that Vince can't visit yet but his father will come to support him.

I also confessed to my family the truth.

Understanding, that's how they made me feel. Even Eugene's family is the same and they say that the truth can't change the way they look at Ulysses. Vince's father has known everything for a long time but he promised me that he would not disturb my son. He was happy to know that I was no longer angry with his son.

The doctor was already removing Ulysses's bandage and we were all waiting for the result. Ulysses slowly opened his eyes while blinking then smiled.

"Dada," he called as he looked at Eugene.

"Mommy," Then look at me.

"I can see you already." Eugene and I quickly hugged Ulysses. I feel too much joy in my heart that my son had finally seen. It's a pity that Vince didn't see it because his life became the reason for the light of my son's life.

When we released him, everyone hugged him one by one. When they were done he looked at Vince's father with astonishment.

"Baby, he is grandpa Serge, uncle Vince's dad." I introduce them.

"He is not my uncle, he is my daddy," he said then get sad.

"Why baby, something wrong?" Eugene asked.

"I dream of daddy Vince, dada, he bid goodbye and he said he loves me. He said he will go but he will watch over me," he said then looked at Vince's father. "Hello, grandpa and thank you for coming."

Vince's father approached Ulysses and hugged my son. I let them talk, after all, he is Ulysses's family so he also has rights to my son. I should be happy because a lot of people love my son.

"Excuse me, Madam Hailey Taylor, Mrs. Kyla Lewis wants to see you." I looked at them when a nurse came in. Eugene tapped my shoulder then nodded.

"It's ok," he said.

I took a deep breath before following the nurse into Kyla's room. When I go inside Kyla's room I slowly opened the door. She was accompanied by a nurse inside. I noticed that she was pale and within a few days she became thinner.

"Hi," I greeted her as I finally got inside.

She smiled at me then prompted the nurse to leave first.

The nurse first took a chair and then placed it opposite Kyla,

"Here, Ma'am," Se pointed to the chair then go out.

I walked through Kyla then sat down in front of her.

"How are you?"

"Lifeless," she replied and began to cry. "Karma hit me a hundred folds." Then look away. "I hope it's not too late to say sorry, Ley." I saw her tears so I come to her to wipe them away.

She looked at me so I held his hand.

"I'm sorry too, Ky." I apologized to her. "I have to blame also."

"It's not your fault, Ley, I've been swallowed up with envy and I can't accept that you're always ahead of me. Beauty, Brain, Fame, Money, Family, and even everyone's attention are on you. I can't accept that I'm just your shadow." She began.

"No Ky, that's not true."

"It's true. At first, I don't care at all, not until I met Vince. I tried to catch his attention only to find out that he likes you and I know that you like him too. The simple envy I felt for you has been replaced by anger and hatred because I feel you have taken everything away from me."

I never thought Kyla feel that way about me before. Those times we've been together, I never thought she was silently angry with me. I became too selfish and I didn't understand her feelings. I became complacent with everything I had and everything I got without thinking that I was hurting people close to me and Kyla was one of them.

"Ky, I didn't know you liked Vince back then, I'm sorry if I hurt you unintentionally."

"Ley, Hunter is also just a victim here, and I know that he really likes you. I don't really intend to marry him because I also plan to leave him when Vince and I are ok. But when we see you at the coffee shop. When I have introduced Hunter to you, I saw a strange twinkle in your eye. So instead of releasing Hunter, I tied him up to me."

"I told myself I was going to prove that not everything you get. You're Hailey Amaranth but I' will prove that not everything you want will be yours. So that day, I made up my mind to continue the marriage. But you know what made me angrier?" She asked and look at me.

"After Hunter and I left in a coffee shop, he talks a lot about but you. He keeps on asking who are you? What Am I to you? What kind of woman are you, your background. That is why I hate you too much because everyone likes you."

I was already crying because of what Kyla said. I didn't know that the pain and anger I gave her was so deep. If I could just bring back the day we were together I would always ask Kyla how is she, If she is ok or did she wants something. I will ask her If I did something she didn't like.

"I'm sorry Ky. I'm so sorry. I don't intend to take everything from you and make you feel like I'm the best." She shook her head and tightened the grip on my hand.

"No, Ley. Forgive me for hurting you. I'm the one who instigated Hunter that you're not a good woman. I'm the one who poisoned his mind to torture you. Forgive me if I broke your marriage and honestly I am the one who snatched him from you. I'm sorry because when you're happy with Eugene, I still keep on bugging you because I know you are starting to be happy. I knew you were there when Eugene and I met. That's why I kissed him the night you saw us. Ley, I hope you will forgive me for everything I have done for you. I hope it's not too late for you to forgive me."
