Leila was walking at the park, touching the petals gently and letting the aroma travel up to her nose. Then a Jacky ran up to her and disturbed her peacefulness.

"Mummy, mummy, daddy's taking his yucky medicine again and he hit me. I think it's bruised," Jacky complained, pulling up his sleeve, showing her a red patch on his arm.

"My poor Jacky, let mummy kiss it better," Leila tenderly blew on it.

Then Bosco came running out of a building, cursing as he went. "You took away my Leila," he bellowed. He went up to her and pulled her up by the collars, making her wheeze and gasp. "Give her back to me!"

"I am…I am," Leila choked.

==

"Leila," Leila screamed at the top of her lungs. Sweat drops fell down from her forehead. It was all a dream, a very weird dream. But what if that dream came true?

A nurse went into her room. "Are you having trouble sleeping, miss? Would you like some hot milk?" she asked.

Leila shook her head and lay back down again.

In the morning, her room was filled with balloons, flowers, get-well cards and fruit. It's amazing what can happen in just a few hours. Lives of the rich are so privileged. She laid there for a while thinking of her loved ones. Bosco and Ron hate me now, since they think that I was the one that killed me. But at least, Jacky still knows that I'm his mother and loves me. Why does he know that I'm his mother?

Moses walked into the room and disturbed her thoughts.

"You're awake," he greeted. "So, how do you like your room?"

"It's beautiful," she said, blandly.

Moses walked over to my bed and sat down on the chair. He cupped my hands in his and said, "I'm getting you a nurse so you can get out this place and come home."

"Sounds great," Leila said gratefully. In fact, Leila never really liked the hospital. She's been having weird dreams of Bosco trying to kill her here, ever since she woke up in Bernice's body. Hopefully they will stop when she leaves this place.

"What's going to happen to the Wong's family?" she asked. Leila hoped that Moses would say that we can take care of them, especially Jacky. He can't grow up without the warmth of his mother's love.

"We're going to give them money, it always solves the problem," he reassured her. But she was outraged, how can money ever replace her?

"That won't do, the little boy can't live without a mother. I'll go and take care of him when I'm healed," Leila said bluntly.

Moses gave in and said, "Whatever that makes you happy then."

Leila laid down in comfort, knowing that she was going to meet her son again. She reflected over the cute look on his face and sighed like a girl with a high school crush.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Moses asked, making Leila jump a little. "Me?" Moses thought hopefully.

"Just...a...a...lover," Leila lamely covered up. She closed her eyes and hit herself mentally for thinking of such a bad excuse.

"A lover, well, who is he? Or her..." Moses mumbled.

Looking oddly and suspiciously at him, she thought, "Why is he mumbling? Do these cousins get this close? And shouldn't he be glad that she was going to be off his hands soon?"

"Er...you wouldn't know him," Leila smiled falsely.

"Right, well, I better be off. Got a meeting to attend to, see you tonight," Moses quickly said to break off the tension that Leila created because, in fact, both of them knew that she was being deceitful to him.

"Good bye then," she waved cheerily, happy that he was finally gone.

She sighed and breathed in and out. She hasn’t felt so much tension since she woke up naked with Bosco on the other side of her. That brought Bosco to her mind. "I wonder how he's doing. Probably not very well, since I'm absent to assist the bloody fool. Hopefully Ron would help him get through this difficult time. Ron is so handsome and muscular, why did I ever have sex with Bosco and not him? What am I thinking? Argh! These bed bugs are killing me! I need a walk." Leila quarrelled in her mind.

She walked past the rows of flowers and softly touched the petals. They were as soft and delicate as one layer of tissue. She picked one rose and lifted it up to her nose. She closed her eyes and let the aroma flow up into her nostrils. How heavenly it smelt. She remembered Jacky stealing the neighbour's roses to give her for Mother's Day. His poor fingers were all pricked and he had a huge fright due to the old man running after him while waving his broom. How she wished that she was still living in her own body and picking Jacky up and holding him close to her body.

"Mummy, mummy!" a child's voice called.

Leila turned around and saw Jacky running towards her waving his arm madly. That scene bought a smile to her face. Jacky ran and tackled Leila to the ground.

"Argh," Leila shrieked as she fell with Jacky on top of her, hugging her tightly as he can.

"You're never leaving me again, mummy," Jacky commanded as he pushed his face into her stomach.

Bosco walked over to them and pulled Jacky's arm off Leila who was lying on the ground, hugging Jacky in return.

"Jacky, get off Ms. Liu, she's not well,” Bosco urged Jacky while peeling him off her.

"Ms. Liu? Don't you mean madam?" Jacky cheekily asked.

Bosco paused as he was reminiscing on the thought that in reality, Leila passed away.

"What's wrong with him?" Leila whispered to Jacky.

"Nothing, he's just in one of his sudden spells. He's like that whenever I mention you,” Jacky whispered back, "c'mon, let's just leave him there."

Leila and Jacky carefully and slowly took Bosco's hand off Jacky's ankle and quietly slipped away, leaving Bosco in a freeze frame.

Good update. I love how Jacky knows who his mommy is. So I guess Leila doesn't love Bosco here. Is there a chance for BL? Will she be in Bernice's body forever?
