Chapter 131 His Reluctance

When Joey saw Julian again, it was the night Elaine became a godmother.

He looked rough-lost weight, sunken eyes, pale face. He stood in the hallway, smoking alone.

Joey walked over, handed him a water bottle, and asked softly, "Julian, have they found Todd's mom?"

Julian, with red eyes, replied, "Joey, I'm sorry. I've let you down."

Joey shook her head and smiled. "Don't blame yourself. We barely started, and stopping now is best. I don't want you to become someone I can't stand."

Julian closed his eyes in pain, his voice hoarse. "Todd's had leukemia since he was a kid. No relatives' bone marrow matched. The doctor suggested we have another child."

Julian's eyes were moist as he looked at Joey. "I never planned to marry anyone else. Even when Todd came along, I never gave up on you. I wanted to clear things up with Alissa, raise the child together, and find our true loves. But when I heard about Todd's condition, I broke down. He's my son; I can't just watch him die.

Having another child is the only way to save him. But this means I have to give you up, Joey. I waited so long for you, and now this. Do you know how much it hurts?"

Julian's voice cracked, and he ended up in tears.

On one side was the girl he loved for years, and on the other was his son. He couldn't bear to let either go. The heartache tore him apart.
