Chapter 113 - CHAPTER 110 (2/2)

”Yes. Why did you get angry?” Asked Ermanno.

Rose hugged the unicorn in her hand and shed tears and said ”I was watching one of the videos Thomas had to send me of Xavier. Then I dropped the phone. It felt like I dropped Xavier down the stairs. I hate myself. If I couldn't hold a damn phone how am I to hold Xavier?” Cried, Rose.

Ermanno looked at Rose and didn't know what to say. He was worried about the same thing. And that's all Elisio has been telling him, that Rose can never be a fit mother.

Rose looked at Ermanno and asked, ”how is he?”

Ermanno looked at those beautiful eyes he first saw but only this time they were shinning in tears.

Ermanno gulped down hard and took a deep breath and said ”he is good”

”He is 7 months old. Last time Thomas sent me the video he was just learning to turn. What does he do now?”

”He is scooting and trying to crawl,” said Ermanno.

Rose nodded and looked down at her unicorn.

Ermanno looked at Rose and all he wanted to do is hug her tight and cry.

”Do you have any pictures or videos of him?” asked Rose not looking at Ermanno.

”Rose we need to talk about us. I am here for a reason” said Ermanno.

Rose nodded and said ”I am sorry for everything. I am sorry I wanted to kill you. I am sorry I ... I... Loved you. I am sorry for everything.” Cried, Rose.

”Rose I forgive you for everything. And I ask for your forgiveness too” said Ermanno.

”I forgive you. Now can I see few pictures of Xavier?” Asked Rose.

”What's the point of seeing his pictures when you can never hold him?” Asked Ermanno.

Rose looked up at Ermanno and asked ”n-never?”

”Rose look at yourself. I really believed Thomas, Cindy and Joseph when they said you are better. But looking at you now. Rose, you are still unwell. I can't risk having you around Xavier” said Ermanno.

Rose looked at Ermanno for a few seconds and nodded and said ”you are right. I am an unfit mother. It's okay. He deserves better than me. Goodbye Ermanno”

Ermanno could see that Rose was hurt so he said ”I didn't mean to be rude”

”It's okay. Everyone is too nice for me. At least you said the truth. Can I ask you something?” Asked Rose and Ermanno nodded.

”Will you give him a step-mother?” Asked Rose.

Ermanno didn't answer her and Rose to be true didn't want the answer too.

They again sat on silence for a second and Rose said: ”would you give this unicorn to Xavier?”

”Sure,” said Ermanno.

Rose looked at Ermanno and smiled and said ” I have something else to give you. Would you come to my room so that I can give you that?”

Ermanno smiled and asked ”what do you want to give? And is it for me or Xavier?”

”You can give this unicorn for Xavier and what I want to give you is in my room and it's for you,” said Rose.

Ermanno smiled and Rose led him to her room.
