Riley
I'm exhausted and in so much pain after the surgery I had. 2 years ago, while in UAE, I was diagnosed with Grade II (atypical) Meningioma. I had surgery right away, but I've been told by the doctor here that the tumour recurred.
It was never my intention to hide my illness from Xavier, but with everything that went on, I had no choice. Soon after breaking up, I left for UAE, where I found out about my condition.
I heard someone entering my hospital room and closing the door afterwards. I opened my eyes to see Xavier teary-eyed.
"Riley, why didn't you tell me?" He caressed my hand. Xavier was talking about my tumour. I avoided his gaze.
He sighed. "I'm so sorry that I wasn't there for you. My heart breaks when i think about how much pain you were in. Back then, I even said hurtful words to you. I'm so stupid!"
Xavier continued apologising to me over and over. Too bad I was too weak to tell him otherwise. So, I just pat his back when he hugged me.
