Chapter 243 - Visiting Edward's Grave
Chapter 243 - Visiting Edward's Grave
Three days passed, Luna cleaned up some of the clothes and things that Ethan needed at the hospital because her husband had been allowed to go home and would receive a doctor's visit every few days at home.
Ethan was waiting for Luna who was putting some clothes into a bag, he sat pensively on the bed with a blank stare, because he kept remembering the events of the night where he and Edward and Luna were running around each other in the dark forest with a limp and fear. The man did not expect a tempest of love that accidentally happened, it turned out to cause the death of someone, that's his brother.
'Why did fate give us the same love for one woman, until all this happened? I accidentally made Luna my love, because I also didn't know that she was a former lover that you loved so much.'
Luna watched Ethan who was dreaming. Since hearing the news of Edward's death, he has been a bit gloomy and often daydreaming. maybe because he felt guilty for taking her, whom Edward loved even though it was out of his control due to ignorance.
"Let's go home. Do we need a wheelchair?" Luna asked while holding Ethan's shoulder.
"No, I'm still strong enough to walk," replied Ethan then looked at Luna intensely.
"Accompany me to Edward's grave," he asked.
"Okay, I will always accompany you," replied Luna with a reassuring smile then kissed Ethan's cheek. "Let's not frown."
Instantly Ethan smiled with a happy hue on his face because after a long time Luna just kept ignoring him, finally returning to being sweet.
"Come on, let's get out of here quickly, we're going to Edward's grave and after that, you have to rest at home, don't think about office problems or anything else, let me handle it," said Luna while guiding Ethan, because he wasn't too strong.
"Can you handle company problems?" Ethan confirmed.
"Of course I can, I just need to order Andrew to sort things out. Is that okay?" Luna said casually because while Ethan was sick, she asked Andrew to take care of the company.
Ethan smiled faintly, glancing at Luna, who returned to being a sweet wife. if he was not sick, maybe he would spoil his wife.
Ethan and Luna walked slowly down the hospital corridor followed by Tony carrying a bag containing Ethan's clothes and other items. occasionally Luna smiled greeting hospital visitors who seemed to know her as a model.
Arriving at the parking lot, the unexpected happened. Lots of reporters were waiting for Luna with a recording device or camera. maybe the news of the kidnapping and chaos a few days ago due to Edward's actions has been heard by the public, considering that she is a fairly popular model.
"I'll meet them for a while, you get in the car first," said Luna as she let go of Ethan's hand.
"No, I'm going to meet them." Ethan again held Luna's hand and led her over to the crowd of reporters.
Ethan and Luna looked down slightly at the reporters' camera shots until Richard, who had just arrived, tell reporters not to overdo it. when facing them, Luna only gave information,
"Please don't over-publish this incident, because my husband and I want to calm down. Maybe I will also take a break from the modeling world for an indefinite period because I want to focus on my kids and husband."
Ethan smiled with relief glancing at Luna who decided to choose him over a career, but he didn't want to limit his wife's wishes too much. "If you want to remain a model, that's fine, I will always support you," he whispered.
Luna just smiled and shook her head as if it was a code that she was sure of her decision. "I don't think I have anything more to say, I have to go now," she told the crowd of reporters.
Luna and Ethan rushed to the car, they sat in the passenger seat. then Richard sat beside Tony ready to drive the car to the cemetery where Edward was buried.

After almost an hour of traveling, Ethan and Luna finally arrived at the cemetery area. they both immediately got off, while Tony and Richard remained to wait in the car.
Ethan walked slowly through the many graves until he found a new grave with still red dirt with a headstone bearing the name "Edward."
Ethan stared at the gravestone, with the image of Edward in his life always wandering through his mind. He still didn't expect his stepbrother to leave so soon.
Ethan prayed for a while with Luna confirming it. then he tightly gripped Luna's hand, looked at Edward's grave, and said,
"Edward, we have been together since childhood. You protect and love me, as well as I have always loved you. I didn't expect fate to make us love the same woman." Ethan thought back to how Edward and himself were when they were children. Meanwhile, Luna was just silent with a feeling of being sad because she was sad about a moment she never thought would happen.
"I promise to make her happy, I won't repeat my mistakes. I will take care of the woman we have always loved and fought for. Rest in peace by the side of God, I will always pray for you, remember you, you are an important part of my life." Slowly Ethan shed tears. despite Edward's bad behavior when he reached adulthood, he still couldn't hide his love for him as a younger brother.
Luna immediately embraced Ethan who could not hold back his tears. "Patient, Honey."
"I can't stop feeling guilty, but I can't let go of you either." Ethan cried as he rested his head on Luna's shoulder.
"Yes I know, but it would be worse if we didn't fight together. Stop blaming yourself, this is all fate," Luna persuaded.
Ethan released Luna's embrace, then looked back at Edward's grave while wiping his tears. Every time he saw the tomb, Edward's face seemed to haunt him.
"Let's go home, Keenan and Keyra must be waiting. Now their schedule is for breastfeeding," said Luna.
Ethan sighed, remembering his twins. "I miss them."
"They'll make you less sad because they're cute and funny." Luna smiled at Ethan, trying to comfort him.
Ethan just replied with a small smile. They both immediately returned to the car. Tony immediately drove the car to Ethan's house, where the whole family was waiting.

Mike was combing his hair as neatly as possible, wearing his best clothes, then spraying perfume on several parts of his body. he was ready to meet Sarah, to tell her the truth.
"Hopefully I can replace Edward's place in your heart, with the presence of our child that makes you comfortable with me, I can't wait to marry you." Mike had fantasized. He was so sure Sarah would accept him, making him a confused healer due to Edward's death.
Feeling ready, Mike rushed out of his apartment, down the corridor to the elevator, and immediately pressed the button for the ground floor. He was so enthusiastic to meet Sarah who needed support to rise from adversity.
