Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Chapter 1383

Because of that, Joyce was plagued with guilt and self-blame for what she did.

Mom and Dad are old now, and they aren't exactly in great health either.I don't know what they would do if anything were to happen to them because of this...I really regret taking things for granted and acting on a whim...I was so naive to think that my death would be enough to atone for my parents' mistake, and that Stanley would be able to let go of his hatred toward them! I thought my parents would live happily once they were freed from their guilt, but I ended up neglecting what they truly wanted.I didn't take into consideration if they would able to accept such an outcome.

If something were to happen to them because of the extreme shock, my sacrifice would not only be in vain, but also the cause for their deaths! The thought of her parents possibly dying because of her terrified Joyce to no end.

Both Caitlin and Jonathan could tell she had truly repented her ways when they saw her crying like that.

As she had attempted to commit suicide in order to atone for their mistake, it was only natural that they forgave her for it.

That was especially the case since Joyce was still lying weakly on the hospital bed. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Caitlin hugged her tightly and patted her on the back as she sobbed, "Joyce...Oh, my baby...Do you know how scared I was when I found you like that?"

Jonathan stepped forward as well.

"Yeah! I nearly died from the shock!"

"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry...I'm really sorry..."

Joyce said apologetically while looking at them.

"Don't ever do that again, okay? This is our problem, so we'll figure something out on our own.All we want is for you to be all right, you hear?"

Caitlin glared at her, refusing to let go until she agreed.

Joyce nodded.

"Yeah, I hear you"

While mustering the courage to commit suicide was easy for a person who had lost the will to live, those who survived the first attempt would realize just how painful it could get and refrain from attempting it again.

That was pretty much the case for Joyce over here.

"Good girl.You'd better remember what you said, okay? If you try that again, your mom and I might actually end up dying along with you! If that happens, our deaths will be on your hands!"

Jonathan shouted angrily while jabbing a finger at her.

Joyce shrunk away a little in response.

"I know, Dad.I won't do it again."

"All right.That's all that matters."

Caitlin gently patted her on the back.

Natalie broke into a smile of admiration and envy when she saw the three of them hugging each other after Joyce gave up on taking her own life.

Man, I really envy how Joyce still has the love of her parents...I lost my dad's love since I was little, and now, I've lost my mom too.

She's the only person I can rant to whenever I feel stressed out, and she's gone forever now...

Joyce is lucky to still have both her parents around, so she had better drop the idea of taking her own life! It would be plain cruel to let her parents suffer losing her like this! Natalie was snapped out of her train of thoughts when Caitlin asked all of a sudden, "By the way, Joyce...Are you aware that you're pregnant?"

Judging by the look of confusion and shock on Joyce's face, it became obvious that she was still unaware of her pregnancy.

Natalie had assumed that Caitlin told Joyce about her pregnancy the moment she woke up, but that turned out to not be the case here.

"Huh...W-What did you just say? I-I'm pregnant?"

Joyce asked in a shaky voice while rubbing her tummy.
