Chapter 25
While Andy was trying to reassure Sharon, she kept saying that he was guilty of everything between them. Now she remembered everything and she'd begun a new dispute. Andy didn't know what to do and he felt the new conflicts between him and Sharon. Now she'd regained her memory and he was convinced that she wouldn't forgive him for everything he'd done. Hearing their cries, Rusty ran to them. He stood in front of Sharon, watching her carefully.
"Hey, Sharon, are you okay?" he asked anxiously. Sharon took a deep breath and squeezed his shoulder.
"Rusty, I'm fine. Please don't leave Nicholas alone. Please leave me alone with Andy." she asked immediately. Rusty agreed confused and looked at Andy, who shrugged. When Rusty went back to the nursery, Sharon locked the door and stood in front of Andy, looking at him angrily. Andy was still looking into her bright green eyes that were filled with emptiness.
"What do you think? That I will forget everything? Andy, I was in a coma for days but I could hear everything around me. I felt that you were there for me and you were crying, begging me to forgive you. But you know what, this is not so easy. " she almost shouted. Andy closed his eyes for a moment and approached her, but she stepped back.
"Sharon, calm down. You just regain your memory. Why do we need to argue again?" he asked dissatisfied. Sharon laughed derisively.
"Andy, I can't believe that you ask me about it. Yes, I was guilty and my sin was unforgivable but I haven't asked for forgiveness, never. I haven't asked you for forgiveness. You wanted to live here with me because of our son. You asked for it, not me. I just needed you but you left me alone when I needed you. " she said with anger and swallowed the lump in her throat. Andy shook his head.
"You're wrong. Sharon, this conflict between us started because of you and you know this very well. You'd slept with Jack and you lied to me for months. You lied to me, saying that the child is mine. Yes, after all, Nicholas is my son but I couldn't forgive the fact that that you slept with this idiot when we had a relationship. I couldn't forgive you for all the lies. Your sin is unforgivable. " he said firmly. Sharon sighed wearily and bit her lip.
"I know that my sin is terrible and unforgivable. You don't know how I felt during all these months. You keep blaming me. Andy, I was on the verge of death! It was because of you and you're to blame for everything." she shouted loudly. Andy took her hand.
"Stop yelling. Think of Nicholas and stop blaming me. You don't know how many sleepless nights I spent thinking of you and only you. Every day I lived with the thought that I might lose you forever. You don't know what fear I felt in all these days. When you opened your eyes, as if the weight fell off my shoulders. The only guilty in this case is Jack Raydor. You confirmed that this is his ring, and that you had an argument with him before this incident. You confirmed that he pushed you down. " he said firmly. Sharon stepped back and took the ring in her hand.
"Yes, you're right. This ring is his, and because of him I was in a coma. But he's not my problem now. You know why? Because you hurt me a lot more. Andy, I loved you but you constantly avoided me and you were rude to me. I hated this coldness between us. " she said angrily. Andy rolled his eyes, disgruntled and turned his attention to her.
"Well, I admit, I hurt you too. But when I learned that you lied all these months and considering the fact that the child that you was carrying, may be Jack's, made me feel like a fool. In all these months I lived in deceit and mystery. Every day I think if this child is mine or is this another one of your lies. Sharon, you wasn't even sure. We had to do DNA test to find out the truth. Yes, now we know the truth. Nicholas is my son and trust me, whatever happens, I will always be close to him. I want to fix my mistakes. " he assured. Sharon looked at him coldly and approached him.
"You want to fix your mistakes, running away from the truth? Don't be ridiculous. Andy, everything what is happening between us will affect our son. Nicholas needs the love of his parents, but you keep saying the same thing. I managed to forgive you. I forgive whenever you asked me but you, you don't do that. I lived in terror, and I was completely alone while I was pregnant. I needed you but your coldness has killed me every time. Now, you ask me for forgiveness. Why now? " she asked quietly, tears were streaming down her cheeks. Andy took a deep breath and touched her face, looking into her green eyes.
"Because I realized the truth. Yeah, maybe I'm an idiot. I couldn't understand the fact that I love you more than anything. I love you Sharon and seeing you in this state, I realized that I'm nothing without you and that if I lose you, I will die too. " he said sadly. Sharon took his hand.
"You realize that you love me when I was close to death? Why should this happen to understand that? I loved you, but now, now I don't want to have anything with you. I can't be with you never, even for our son. I can't. I'm tired of all these disputes and conflicts. I'm sorry, but I can't forgive you. " she said firmly, wiping her tears. Andy swallowed the lump in his throat. In fact, he'd expected such a response. He was hurt Sharon and he knew it. But it also had hurt a lot. Both had errors. He could not stand it more. He took his jacket and unlocked the door. He decided to check his son and went to the nursery. Rusty looked at him carefully. He was more confused than ever and he couldn't understand what was happening that night. Andy took his son in his arms, kissing him gently. Rusty cleared his throat.
"Andy, you had a conflict with Sharon? Why?" he asked quietly and cautiously. Andy took a deep breath and shrugged.
"Rusty, Sharon regained her memory. She remembers everything and we had our first argument." He answered immediately. Rusty's eyes widened. He sighed with relief, understanding that Sharon already remembers everything. Without saying a word, he went into the bedroom and hugged her tightly. Sharon kissed him gently on the cheek and smiled sadly.
"Sharon, is it true? Do you remember anything?" he asked excitedly. Sharon nodded and squeezed his shoulder.
"Yes, Rusty, everything. I remember everything. Thanks for your help. Thank you that you always was as my real son." she said softly. Rusty smiled and kissed her cheek, then he hugged her again. He couldn't describe his joy. On the other hand, Andy was informed Provenza that Sharon had regained her memory. He was explained that between him and Sharon has a new conflict. Provenza hated to give advice.
"Andy, can you calm down? Look, the fact that Sharon remembers everything is pretty good progress. If I had to give advice, I would advise you to give her a little time. Sharon needs time. She's still in shock and she can't forget her pain. " he said quickly.
"Well, my pain? I don't know Provenza. I'm terrified, thinking that Sharon may interrupt her relationship with me. I feel like a fool. By the way, did you managed to find Jack Raydor? We need to find him." he said firmly.
"We are about to find Jack, don't worry. Perhaps he is under arrest for assault on a cop." Provenza said sternly. Andy sighed with relief and they closed the phone. He went back into the living room and sat on the couch thoughtfully, leaning back. After a few minutes, Rusty decided to go into the kitchen for a glass of water, but seeing Andy so distracted, he decided to talk to him and sat against him. He couldn't understand the coldness. Andy should be happy about the fact that Sharon remembers everything.
"Hey, Andy, you look distracted and sad. In general, you should be happy, right? Sharon remembers everything." he noted with concern. Andy smiled ruefully and took his hand.
"Yeah kid, you're right. But you know, when a person loves too much, he suffers a lot and almost always loses what makes him happy. There are things that I can't explain it, but I have to be happy. Sharon remembers everything. " he said sadly and thoughtfully. Rusty couldn't understand what he wants to say and he was confused.
"I don't understand." he admitted. Andy shook his head.
"Don't worry, even I don't understand my words. Well, it is too late. Perhaps it would be better to go to your room for a good sleep." he said. Rusty nodded slightly and taking a glass of water, he walked into his room. Andy took a deep breath and get ready for another night in the uncomfortable sofa. Sharon couldn't sleep all night, thinking about her problems with Andy. On the other hand, Nicole didn't know how to tell her father the truth she'd learned a month ago. She tried every way, but she didn't have enough courage. The next morning, Andrea had realized that Sharon already remembers everything. She was anxious to see her friend to talk to her. Sharon was grateful that at least Andrea is here to support her.
"Sharon, I can't believe that you already remember everything. You can't believe how happy I am for you." she said with a smile. Sharon took a deep breath and shook her head.
"Yes, maybe it's very good, but remembering everything I started to have new conflicts and disputes with Andy. I don't know, but I feel terrible. Last night we had a terrible argument. He looked at me, begging to forgive him, but I can't. He hurt me more than Jack. Yes, maybe Jack is the cause of my condition, but Andy was to blame for everything that happend between us. Yes, I admit, I am guilty. I've committed an unforgivable sin, but nevertheless, I don't deserve such a punishment. " she said dissatisfied. Andrea hushed quietly and squeezed her hand.
"Sharon, calm down. Look, I am convinced that everything will be fine. Andy was devastated seeing you in this condition in the hospital and believe me, he still loves you." Andrea assured. Sharon shook her head. On the other hand, Nicole had made a surprise visit to her father. Andy was told the good news for Sharon and now Nicole was more relaxed. Now she could tell the truth that she knew a month ago.
"Nicole, you really surprise me. You said you wanted to talk to me. What is happening?" Andy asked with a smile. Nicole took a deep breath and bit her lip.
"Dad, I can't hide the truth any more. I didn't tell you anything until Sharon has amnesia, but now, when she regained her memory, I can't remain silent." she said softly. Andy looked at her more confused than ever.
"What? Nicole, what do you mean? Look, you're scaring me." he admitted. Nicole shook her head.
"Dad, a month ago, my mother visited me. She was here, in LA." she said cautiously. Suddenly, Andy's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that his ex-wife came to LA.
"Your mother was here? And you hid this from me?" he asked angrily. Nicole squeezed his shoulder.
"Dad, calm down. She wanted to talk to you, but I couldn't do anything because Sharon was in a coma. But my mother revealed the grim truth of our past. Dad, Mom lied us. My brother, he .. . He is not dead ... he is alive Dad. " she said quickly. Hearing this, Andy almost fainted. No, he couldn't believe that his first son was alive. But how was this possible? After so many years ...
"No, this can't be true. Nicole, your brother died at birth years ago. How can your mother to come here and say such nonsense?" he asked angrily.
"Dad, she lied to us. She told me everything. She didn't want the baby and she'd asked the doctors to lie to us. Now she regrets, but it is too late." she said sadly. Andy's eyes filled with tears and he swallowed the lump in his throat. He couldn't believe that Jennifer again failed his life. In the evening, Sharon breastfeed her baby while Rusty was studying for his exam in his room. Once she fed her son, Sharon went into the nursery. She looked at the clock as it was too late, and Andy didn't come home. Nevertheless, she was worried about him. She decided to wait and went back into the living room. After half an hour, Andy came home and threw the keys. Seeing his condition, Sharon panicked.
"Andy, you look pale. What happened?" she asked anxiously, touching his face. Andy looked at her coldly and wiped his tears.
"Sharon, my son ... My son is not dead. Jennifer lied to me. My son ... He's not dead ..." he said softly and hugged Sharon, which was his only consolation right now...
