Previously from Chapter 30 –
“Is this it then?”
“Is what it?” Bette blankly asked, unsure of what Tina was referring to.
“I don’t know what happened to you. To . . . to us.” Tina’s voice was now soft and barely audible as she gazed upon the woman that would always rule her heart.
“I’ve never wanted to hurt you. Never.” Bette said sincerely. Tina could see the tenderness and honesty in her eyes as she spoke. “I . . . I hope you know that.”
“I know you didn’t.” Tina boldly reached for Bette’s right hand and held it in both of hers.
Bette jerked her head down as she looked at their connected hands and her eyes shot up to gaze into Tina’s once more. Her breath hitched at the same time with the intimate contact from Tina.
“But I did.”
“Yes, you did. But deep down, you’re such an exceptional person.” Tina swallow hard before she spoke once more. “Even if you don’t want to see that in yourself.”
“You’re being too kind.” Bette shook her head. “I’ve acted horribly at times, especially towards you.”
“I may have said some unpleasant things about you too back then.” A trace of a grin spread across the blonde’s lips.
“You had every right to do so.” Bette nodded in agreement. She knew she deserved whatever words Tina had threw her way. “I won’t blame you if you never wanted to see or speak to me ever again.”
“That will never happen.” Tina rubbed the back of Bette’s hands. She felt a fierce desire to safeguard this woman. “I don’t want to image any world without you in it.”

So, Tina and Ashley will be in London in a few days. Terrific.
Maybe with Helena and James pushing her, Bette will really talk to Tina about what happened and her illness.
Can’t wait for more.
I don’t think there’s any question that Bette has to talk with Tina at this point. TK will be persistent in finally getting answers.
Their time to confront the past is arriving very soon.
Thanks for reading.
Great to see an update on this story!
Bette Bette Bette, still running away and being stubborn, glad Helena and James pointed that out to her.
Because of her illness i can understand her strong hesitation to talk to Tina and avoid her and what happened in the past, she simply wants Tina to be happy , heal her sister and do whatever is necessary before she can’t do anything anymore due to her illness. But Tina will not give up, neither will Helena and James from pushing her to talk with Tina
Bette loves Tina so much, she did so much for her behind the scenes , maybe Tina will be angry first when she learns about it but will eventually see and appreciate everything Bette has done for her.
Let’s get Ashley and Tina to London and get Bette asap in London as well.
AGREE 100% with your observations.
Bette is also afraid that Tina has spent so many years taking care of infirmed loved ones that she may bolt upon hearing from Bette that she’s seriously ill
You really think TK would ‘bolt’ over another illness?
Seems a bit shallow of a reaction.
But, we’ll see how it turns out!
Thanks for your thoughts.
Hey, thanks for reaching out & your many thoughts on this chapter & story. All valid points & actions that need to happen.
They’ll all meet up very soon.
Be safe my friend.
I love Helena !
We’re getting somewhere even if Bette’s stubbornness kills me.
Really good chapter, a little short for my liking but hey…it’s always too short when the fic is this good.
By the way, did I mention that I love Helena … ?!
Me too!!!
Helena’s the best!!
Agree 100%!!!
Helena’s a fav of mine as well – RS is a terrific actress & embodied the Helena character marvelously.
You’ll read more about her over the next several chapters as we get to London & the story moves forward.
Many issues will be addressed!!
Very insightful chapter.
Looking forward to the visit with Helena and Tina – hopefully Helena can drop some hints to Tina about Bette’s health. I have a feeling that Helena will be a key to Tina and Bette’s future together.
Next chapter can’t come soon enough!
Yes! Agree with you about Helena.
You are such a GOOD guesser!!!!!
Happy to hear you enjoyed the chapter & saw the insight of Helena’s influence. She’ll be highlighted more in the next several chapters & play a role in the Tibette reunion.
Next chapter will be up soon.
Great advice from Bette’s two trusted, long time friends. Only hope she’ll follow it when Tina finally arrives in London.
Looking forward to so much more.
Thanks for the update.
PPS!
I think its long past due for Bette to end her intense stubbornness & move forward.
I’ll do my best to make that happen!!! Ha!!!
Thanks for commenting.
Hey Collins,
Always love seeing an update to this story. Enjoyed Bette’s conversation with Helena – Helena is a true friend, she tells it like it is.
Looking forward to Tina and Ashley being in London – even if Bette will be in Brazil at first – and wonder if Tina will talk with Helena.
Thanks for another great chapter!
Hey Pal,
Bette needs the honesty & a god kick in the butt from Helena about Tina & other things too.
We’ll get to London very soon & the remainder of the story will be set there.
Thanks for the update…. I didn’t see this one come in. Bette is still a big mystery and Tina?? Well, Tina is hard to read. Personally, I do not think Bette should head of the team to treat Ashley. It’s never a good idea for a physician to treat family or people who have a close relationship. Ashley was her almost sister-in-law and Bette knows that she cares for Tina a lot. It would be best to hand this assignment off to a competent physician on the staff for the benefit of both Ashley and Tina. And for the benefit of Bette as well.
I hope things go well for Tina and Ashley. Maybe Bette will get some treatment for whatever ails her while she is in Brazil. Maybe she will comeback cured and ready for the second half of her life….
Thanks for the chapter.
Thanks for your comment.
Glad you’re still enjoying the ride!
Good update. We’re getting closer to the next big meeting in London with Bette and Tina.
Let’s get Ashley better and Tina and Bette closer again.
I hear your request & will do my best to make it all happen.
Great update with interesting interactions between Bette and Helena and her loyal friend – aka ‘little brother’ James.
Glad we’re on the cusp of Tina arriving in London and Ashley finally getting the medical treatment she needs.
Bette has to return quickly to meet with up with Tina too.
Anxious for the next chapters.
Think I’ve mentioned before that I think James was an important character in the OG & I wish IC would have developed his character more & we had less of other meaningless characters.
Anyway, London awaits & all things are possible.
