Chapter 391: I’ll Be Strong
Fred told the assistant everything, but not me. The assistant whom he couldn’t trust with his company secrets was privy to this information, but not me.
Ah, what am I thinking? He should’ve wanted to protect me from worry. That should be it, Talia. You know he’d trust you with his life.
Talia leaned on the window and stared at the moon trying to put a leash on her chaotic thoughts. The breeze caressed her face and she closed her eyes remembering every time Arthur had been her support. She on the other hand had only made him worry by being weak. She got everything from him, but she couldn’t be there when he was handling the biggest scare for his life.
She knew she has issues. She was not someone who is open with her feelings, except with Fred. When she finally got him back, she thought of him as her person – the one she can share her everything. It was easy to share everything to him.
Maybe I over-shared? He thought of me as someone frail who can’t handle the news about his tumour?
His tumour...
Talia’s heart clenched.
What am I thinking about? I learnt that my Fred has tumour and I’m worrying about why he didn’t tell me. Even in this situation, I pity myself.
Why am I like this? No wonder he didn’t feel like telling me.
Talia took a deep breath. She knew now is not the time to be thinking about anything other than his tumour and how to safely get him to Esteria for surgery.
I should be strong! I should not show any worry in my face and push forward. I’ll prove Fred I’m strong enough to share his sorrows. Then we can be equals in the relationship.
