Just a week ago, he collapsed and rushed into the hospital. It was found that his heart was unstable as well as not working so he needed to get a pacemaker. Being that he couldn't speak English, I had to be the one to always translate. It took a strain on my mental health as it began harder and harder to tell him his health was deteriorating. So from this time, I began really unstable emotionally and mentally. I just graduated from high school so I was already feeling a bit lost. Adding this, it became a strain.

Maybe because it's that I'm still young and not experienced, I couldn't cope with it well. I wrote a lot of chapters just to delete everything. This was a cycle I couldn't get out of. I wrote, I deleted it.

My father's a lot better now although he depending on the pacemaker 100%.

I'm more stable now.

There was a reader who reached out since I was quiet for so long and I realized how wrong it was of me to not give a warning. Maybe I really haven't matured enough. I should have said something so you, as my readers, wouldn't have to come back constantly to find no new chapters.

Also, I should be clear. I won't drop this novel. I just won't.

It's a personal promise and a promise I made because of another reader.

I hate breaking promises because I know how it feels on the other end.

With that note, I really hope you guys forgive me. I can't ask for more. I'm still learning and I'm trying to grow. The good news from this experience is that I went through such a chaotic time and I'll recreate it within my writing.

Please enjoy the next chapter.
