213 Letting Go (1/2)
Veronica woke up from her own alarm and she saw Tony on the sofa with beard. He hasn't shave yet for days. Still he look handsome as always. She reach her phone and turn it off. Tony was too busy on his laptop that his eyes has dark circles and his hair was longer than before. She cleared her throat and Tony look up at her.
She knows that she look ugly and unhealthy yet he could still smile at her just to cheer her up. She only have 15 days left to live. Time is running. Tony pick up his phone. His face lightens like he had found something.
”Can you get me bubble tea?” She said the address and he immediately took his coat, keys and phone then he sat down beside her first and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
”What flavor do you want then?”
”Passion Fruit. Yogurt as usual any kind of ad-ins…” She reach his hand and hold it for few second. ”Go.” She said.
”I'll be back.” He left the room and that's when Veronica drop her smile and cry all by herself. At least she wouldn't be that selfish to keep him with her until she turns into ashes.
After he left, in few minutes Calvin came up and he look hurt seeing her for the first time. She didn't want him to see her at her very worse. But he just did. He caress her hair and hold her hand.
”Don't worry—I will find that bastard.”
”Don't kill him. Sabrina has the right to watch him get tortured and if Anastasia is alive—she has the right to see them get tortured.”
”Then I'll have his head.” He mutter. Veronica close her eyes.
”Grandpa… when I die, please help Sabrina and Catriona. Cat is my sister. Don't let anyone hurt her, okay? Promise me that.”
”I promise.” He kisses her forehead. ”I am contacting the people I know so that they could cure you.”
”Grandpa… there's no cure.” She mutter. ”Not yet maybe if I die then there will be.” Her throat and mouth is dry. ”Water.”
Calvin gave her the glass with the straw as she sipped with sigh.

Tony drove his car to the bubble tea house that Veronica said that she want to have her bubble tea. He got in and order two teas. He call Samantha and soon she answer.
”Hey, Tony. Just want you to know that I am near on finding it out. I have used samples on our experimentations. Half of it was cured and it's like regain but then—not completely. But I can feel that I am near to it.”
”I will swing by later to help you.”
”Okay, thank you.” He hang up and took the two teas. He turn around and saw Vivien smiling at him. She look blooming with red lipstick and even her dress was red.
”Tony.” She said and immediately hug him. He was stunned. He didn't know how to push her away with two bubble tea on his hand. ”I am glad that you want me back.”
”What are you talking about?” Tony asked. Vivien smile sexily.
”Don't tell me that you forgot?” She kiss his lips and then that's when he shook his body and told her to stay away. She did stepped back puzzled.
”I don't know what your deal is—but I have to go.”
