#17 : Interruption

It has been almost a month since Gemma was discharged from the hospital. Gemma suffered miscarriage and depression. Until now, Gemma is still moody. The girl who was always cheerful and always has a smile on her face, slowly became like a sad and depressed girl.

Since Gemma was out of the hospital too, Harry decided to move to Cheshire, so he could continue to watch over his sister. Harry built a small branch company in Cheshire and Harry decided to work in that small branch of company he built here in Cheshire. Harry doesn't want to make any regrets again. He wants to take full care of his mother and sister, just like what he promised to his father.

And because of that promise and everything that was happening too, Harry seemed to forget one important thing.

"Harry,"

Taylor placed her arm around Harry's shoulders, who was sitting on the sofa, reading the daily newspaper. Harry turned and smiled at his wife.

"Good morning, babe." Harry said as he grabbed Taylor's hand and pulled her close to him. Taylor sat next to Harry, leaning her head on his sturdy shoulder.

"Are you busy today?" Taylor asked, playing with Harry's fingers as she interlocked her fingers with his.

"Why?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow. Taylor shook her head.

"Nothing. It's just, it's been so long since we spent time together alone. You're too busy with work or. . ." Taylor held her breath before saying, "Gemma." She said with a very forced tone.

Harry paused for a moment. His hands were placed around Taylor's shoulders. Harry briefly kissed Taylor's forehead as he said, "I love you, so much. You know that, right? " Taylor nodded her head.

"I love my family too. Mum and Gemma. I once vowed to Dad to look after them, making sure they're always safe and happy." Harry takes a pause before bowing his head.

"However, what happened to Gemma a month ago made me realize that I hadn't fully kept my promise to Dad. I can't keep Mum and Gemma safe as they should be. And I regret that very much." Taylor lowered her head, understanding where this conversation was going. Harry looked up and turned his head. A faint smile appeared on the young man's lips. His hand reached for Taylor's chin, lifting it up slowly so that his green eyes could meet Taylor's blue eyes.

"I don't want to have make regrets in my life anymore. I love you. I love Mum and Gemma too. But for now, Gemma really needs my full attention. I hope you can understand that. " Harry briefly kissed Taylor's lips.

"I love you." Harry said.

Usually, when Taylor hears those three words come out of Harry's mouth, it'll usually make her heart melt and flutter. But now, for some reason, when Taylor heard those three words, it just made her feel anxious inside. All the butterflies that she always had inside of her died and turned into dust, and somehow, she doesn't know they reason behind it.

"So what do you want now, Gems?" Harry asked her sister gently, while putting Gemma's dinner plate on the small bedside table beside her bed. Gemma shook her head.

Her joyful face that used to be caked and powdered on with make up, is no longer to be seen. She seemed to be losing herself and her life. And that was because of a young man named Samuel.

Not much is known about Samuel at this time. Samuel just disappeared. In fact, according to a source of Harry's trust, the company that Harry initially trusted as a company led by Samuel, made a different statement. Samuel doesn't have a position in the company. He is no longer there, Samuel resigned. Harry doesn't know where he is or what he's doing now.
