After a very busy morning, Michael and Sarah were now on their way to the hospital to visit Mr. Collins.
The hospital where Mr. Collins was being treated was close to their apartment, because it was the hospital where Sarah was working at the time.
"This is the first time we're walking in the morning like this," Michael muttered suddenly as he stretched out, enjoying the morning sun hitting his skin.
Meanwhile, Sarah was silent when she heard this. It was indeed her first time walking with Michael like this, but it wasn't her first time alone and it… felt weird.
You go to your work through the same road, but it's not really your workplace anymore. That's really weird.
Michael just looked at Sarah who completely ignored him, he sighed. That woman really put up a solid fortress that was hard to break through.
"Oh yeah, what's with Raphael's colored pencils?" asked Michael, trying to change the subject.
"Ah… He left it at the orphanage. I haven't had time to go get it yet," Sarah replied curtly.
"I can go buy it if you're busy," Michael tried to offer.
"No, thanks. I can go buy it myself."
Michael sighed again at the cold response from the woman. It's really not easy!
Not long after, Sarah and Michael were finally standing at the door of Mr. Collins' room. They didn't go inside right away because Sarah was trying to calm herself down first.
The last time she came here, she was caught lying to him, and that made her a little nervous.
"Are you good?" Michael asked when he saw the change in Sarah's expression.
Sarah nodded. "Let's go in."
As soon as they opened the door, Mr. Collins was sitting back on his bed looking out at the scene. His head immediately turned when he heard someone enter, before finally turning back to the window when he saw it was Michael and Sarah.
"Hi dad, you look healthy!" said Michael greeted his father with a big smile.
"Hello… father," Sarah said softly, smiling awkwardly.
"Why did you come here?" asked Mr. Collins who still wouldn't look at them.
Michael then walked over to the window and opened the curtain wider so that more sunlight could enter the room.
"Why do you have to ask? You already know that we have been living together, right?" Michael quipped looking at his father who was currently pretending.
"Forgive us for lying back then, but this time we've been living together, father. In Michael's apartment where we used to live," said Sarah quietly, standing at the side of Mr. Collins' bed.
Michael then walked over and stood next to Sarah so that his father would also look at Sarah and not just at him.
Mr. Collins sighed when he heard that. According to the information he got, Michael and Sarah had indeed been living together again in Michael's apartment.
He didn't know what was going on in the apartment because he couldn't possibly spy them inside the house, but that was enough for him.
Mr. Collins then immediately turned and looked at his son, and the woman who was like his daughter.
"You should have been like that from the start. Why did you have to lie to me?" asked Mr. Collins sarcastically.
"Who would have thought that you would spy on me!" Michael quipped.
Mr. Collins just snorted, he then took Sarah's hand and held it.
"Thank you for agreeing to my request and looking after Michael, Sarah. I'm really happy," replied Mr. Collins with a genuine smile.
"I'm only doing this for you to change your will! Remember, only two months! I hope you will keep your promise!" Sarah answered without smiling.
She knew that Mr. Collins was pleased about this. However, she did this not out of sincerity, but because she wanted Mr. Collins to change his will, and she thought it would be best if she made this clear with Mr. Collins.
"I understand," replied Mr. Collins with a smile at the woman's attitude.
He knew that Sarah must have done this by compulsion, but still Mr. Collins was happy that she was now living with Michael.
Meanwhile, Michael was a little surprised when he heard Sarah's response, he knew that Sarah was not doing this sincerely. He also knew about his father's condition to make him change his will.
However, Michael completely forgot that Sarah and her sons would not be living with him forever. They had a time limit, and it was for two months.
Michael suddenly felt something strange inside him. Even though he had only been living with Sarah and the Twins for a few days, he loved the time they spent together.
He… wanted to continue like that. Living with them.
Mr. Collins's gaze suddenly turned to Michael who was just silent and seemed to be thinking about something. A smile involuntarily escaped Mr. Collins' lips.
"Now that you know you guys only have two months, don't mess this up!" thought Mr. Collins, wishing Michael could read his mind.
He already arranged everything, and this time he hopes his son doesn't mess it up like he did six years ago.
After leaving the hospital, Michael and Sarah returned to the apartment, and Michael went back to reminiscing about six years ago, while Sarah was silent when she heard those words.
After coming home from work, Michael spent his time playing with the Twins, his time with them was short, so he had to make good use of every moment.
Every now and then Michael tried to get Sarah to talk, but Sarah just ignored him or replied curtly. The woman put up a solid defensive wall.
Michael just sighed at that, but he didn't give up at all!
Time had finally passed, and now it was Friday.
Today, Michael came late again at the office because he was determined to have breakfast with Sarah and the Twins and help the Twins to go to kindergarten.
"You're late again!" James grumbled when he saw Michael who had just arrived.
"I was only an hour late. Don't nag!" Michael replied with a snort. "What's my schedule for today?" he continued. He was staying still at the door of his room and did not go into it.
"You have some meetings to do. I'll send you the materials," answered James, who seemed busy composing the files.
"Oh right, there is a package for you. I've put it on your desk," continued James when Michael had opened the door.
Michael's brow furrowed when he heard that. Package? He wasn't looking forward to a package at all.
Michael then immediately went into his room and immediately found a brown envelope placed on his desk. Michael then immediately took it and his eyes immediately widened when he saw where the package came from.
It was from the hospital that did the DNA test!
