Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother Chapter 396 "Oh, my God! Baby! Jorja rushed forward with her outstretched arms. 'You're finally up.....” And... There goes another round of tears.
KASMINE.
I thought I was going to die.
Even when everything aroundscreamed hopeless, even when my body was failing, and the pain draggeddeeper into the dark, I still held onto that stupid, reckless belief that Kester was going to save me. Somehow. Waking up and finding myself not just in a hospital, but surrounded by my loved ones, maderealise miracles actually did exist. It felt like waking up from the worst nightmare and being told it wasn't real and that I made it.
I had almost slipped into a panic attack, but my mate's scent gavethe kind of comfort I'd never received before... The kind I really needed.
God, Kester.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI was so grateful to have him in my life. A man who would walk through fire barefoot, for the woman he loves.
A man who didn't just say he'd protect me-he did. Who went to war for me. Who fought to dragback from death's edge with everything he had.
And 1-God-I was so damn grateful to have him in my life.
So many women would kill to have a Kester in their lives. But here I was, having him for free, and still had the nerves to second-guess? Stupid me.
Stupid, stupid me.
I didn't deserve him. But somehow, he still chose me.
I might never find the right words, or enough ways to repay that kind of love. I might never match the way he loves, with such purity, such intensity... but I was done holding back.
I swear to God, I'll never take what he's givenfor granted again.
Kester gives his all... his everything for the ones he loves. And such a man deserves all the love in the world that he can get.
And from this point on, I'd give him everything I had and every part of me.
Mum was holdingso tightly, we both forgot how long we'd been crying.
Kester and Norlan didn't rush us. They stood quietly nearby, giving us the space. Though I saw Norlan slip out briefly to alert the doctors that I was awake, neither of them interrupted.
Eventually, I slowly pulled away from Mum.
She cupped my face with both hands, still crying. "My baby... I'm so glad you're back. Thank you for staying strong, Kasmine." Her voice cracked. "And please... forgive me. I'm sorry. For everything. truly am." I reached up and wiped her tears, giving her a soft smile. “It's okay, Mum. That's all in the past now. We've been given a second chance, Let's make the most of it." She nodded with trembling lips. "Thank you, sweetheart." Then she leaned in and kissed my forehead.
1/2 Chapter 396 It was only after that warmth faded from my skin that I noticed something was... missing.
"Where's Dad?" I asked, looking around. "Why isn't he here with you?" I'd assumed he had stepped out to grab a coffee or something. But it's taken quite a while now, and I still haven't seen him yet.
Okay... Why was everyone silent? I looked at Mum. Then at Kester. Then Norlan. Then back to Mum.
"Did something happen to Dad?" asked, my heart starting to face.
m "No, baby," Kester said quickly, reading my anxiety. He's fine. "Then why isn't he here?"
Mum inhaled shakily and reached for my face again. "Kasmine,sweetheart. Your father and I... we're En getting a divorce." The words didn't register at first.
I stared at her. "What did you just say?" She hesitated for a moment.
"Kade and I are getting a divorce." Chapter Comments POST COMMENT NOW
