Meanwhile, back at the hospital, after helping Delyth in her room, Ryan didn’t stay for long. Closing the door after him, he was about to turn and leave when a voice halted him in his tracks. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"So, this is where you have been busy recently?"
Ryan turned to look only to find Catrin standing there with a disappointed face. She slowly walked closer to him and then glanced behind him. Through the glass, she could see Delyth resting inside.
"You are running here every day, taking care of this insignificant woman when you should instead be thinking of the ways to get back Arwen in your life." Catrin had tried calling Ryan a few times, but every time he had either ignored her call or made someone else relay the message that he was busy. "What are you thinking, Ryan? Is this what you meant when you said that you were serious about Arwen this time? Is this how you prove that you are serious about her?"
Ryan pinched the space between his brows and slowly said, "What are you doing here, Aunt Catrin?"
"What am I doing here?" Catrin repeated, scoffing a little. "Do I even have to explain why I am here today? Fine, if that’s what you want," she paused and then said through the grit of her teeth. "Of course, I am here because I couldn’t find you anywhere else. That’s why I came here because recently I heard this is the place that you have started frequenting."
Catrin was already losing her patience. Not just because Ryan wasn’t doing anything, but because how she had presumed the things to happen weren’t happening.
When she asked Arwen to leave the house and the family, she thought she would refuse to do so. But not only did Arwen leave the house, she never returned.
She blocked her cards, thinking that this would make Arwen realize her mistake. But until today she didn’t see Arwen regretting the decision that was clearly made without giving much thought. She never returned or called to show her regret.
Catrin feared that if this continued like this, she would lose Arwen as Idris had warned her. And there was no way she could lose her daughter. Arwen was her daughter and would always remain hers. She would do everything to bring her back to her life.
And at this point, only Ryan seemed like the most suitable option.
Ryan on the other hand hadn’t expected Catrin to come all the way looking for him. He hasn’t been ignoring her. It was just that he no longer was sure what he should do to get Arwen back in his life. He wanted her back, but now he wasn’t sure if she truly wanted to come back to him. She looked so content and happy in her current life, that he could envision himself in her future.
"What, Ryan?" Catrin probed when she did hear Ryan speaking up even after she ranted out so much. Her brow drew together in a frown. "Are you even going to speak or should I just conclude that all that you said to me was your momentary desire and nothing else?"
"It wasn’t a momentary desire," Ryan snapped as if he couldn’t bear to hear his emotion being called that. But when he realized that his sudden snap had garnered other people’s attention around, he softened his tone to explain. "When I said I am serious about Arwen and the engagement plan that we once said, I was serious. It wasn’t some momentary thing for me."
