CHAPTER 11
I didn't choose you.

My heart did.

It was 5 in the morning and I was awake.
I didn't sleep all night.

Yesterday, doctor informed us all that Devin needs to undergo an operation for his legs. It costs a huge amount of money, almost $50,000.

Now, initially my worry was about the money. From where will I get this money, how, all possibilities of getting this huge amount were running in my head.
But I don't need to worry about that anymore.
All thanks to Maria.

On one side, I was really grateful for her to have done that but in the other I didn't want her to. She did this all saying"we're a family now, let me handle. You have nothing to worry about." with a kind smile on her face.

By this she gave me a lot more to worry about. I couldn't just say to her now that, " Hey, Maria. It's all good that you helped me in orphanage situation and now paid for Devin's operation too but the thing is I can't marry your son and I know you think of me as family but I can't be your family so yeah, that's just it.

Did I mention, she also bought the orphanage land from Mark.
Isn't she just great? ( Note the sarcasm)

Why? Why ? Why!!!!

I don't know what am I gonna do!

All different thoughts were going through my mind when one particular caught my interest.

Why didn't I think of it before?
Definitely, yes.
Now I know what I have to do.
Thank you god!
For giving me such a good idea!
Also, I'm a genius too, I patted myself on the shoulder. Good work Scar.

It was evening now. And Devin's operation went well.
He's being kept at the hospital for a few days, almost a week and then he'll be discharged. I went to see him in the noon. He was asleep.

I was sitting at the window side seat of the corner booth in the café nearby waiting for that stupid handsome silencer.

Hmm...
What should I start with?
How should my face expression be? Should it be arrogant like tho...
Wait, how does an expression is arrogant? Is it eyes narrowed and having a deadpan, unengaged look? Or crossing arms and looking around instead of him?
Anyway, I...
