Chapter 147 As the police vans disappeared from our sight, was back to my own lifeâs dilemmas and asked Henry, âLetâs go to the hospital, brother. Zoe must be sad!â
My sonâs desolate state pounded my heart against my rib cage, he was the one who lost the affection of his parents in one jerk.
He was just a child, missing his family, so it was now my duty to make him feel at home.
Henry drove me to the city hospital, and we found Bright in the lobby. He was still holding Zoe in his arms. He informed us, âLeo is in I.C.U, the doctors havenât reported anything yet.
It was fortunate that Bright bought some candy for Zoe, he was busy enjoying his strawberry flavored gummies. Seeing him relaxed, a wave of tranquility washed over me, I patted his head.
âIt looks like you are having a good time with Bright Uncle, Zoe.â
Zoeâs cute face melted my heart as he offered me a piece of candy.
âUncle Bright says that dad will be hurt to know that I am sad. So, I will be a good boy and follow his words to lessen his pain.â
We didnât have to wait much longer, and the doctor came out of the I.C.U. He had good.
news for us.
âMr. Leo is doing great. All thanks to your efforts, he was rescued on time, so he only had minor burns and injuries. We are shifting him to a room âWhen can I meet dad?â Zoe questioned, interrupting the doctorâs statement, he smiled at his impatience, âJust ten more minutes, Zoe. You can see Mr. Leo in his private room.
It was assuring that Leo didnât suffer any major injury, he would be fine to ease my sonâs The Black Swanâs Fival Revenge Pirouette The 99th Game Was Mine All Along Chapter 147 worry. Although Zoe behaved bravely and followed us in our carâs trunk, he was a kid, the abduction of his dad must have taken a toll on m. I took a mental note to discuss his feelings later. But now, we went to see Leo.
Attached to the heart monitor and IVs, Leo was slowly regaining consciousness when we all walked into his room. He didnât have a place to hide his face this time. Firstly, Zoe approached him, speaking tearfully.
âI prayed for your health, dad. The doctor uncle says you will recover soon.â
Leo sighed and familiarized himself with the surroundings, he only reacted to notice me in the room. He was about to disregard Zoe again when I glared hard at him, screaming inwardly.
Recome on, Leo. Say something nice to Zoe.â
His care for our son was the reason I hardly put up with his very presence in the first place, so it would be impossible for me to keep cool if he breaks Zoeâs heart like before. After a heartâstopping moment, Leo understood the meaning of my intense stare and smiled, but it didnât reach his eyes.
âZoe, you are my lovely boy. Your prayers saved me today.â
These sweet words of affirmation relieved a heavy weight off me, Zoe was on cloud nine to be with his dad. However, he wasnât a fan of staying at my villa.
âWhen can I come back home, dad? I am missing you.â
Leo eyed me to tackle Zoe, and said, âDad is sick, so there will be no one at home to look after you. Please live with your mom âYes, Zoe.â I held his tiny hand, feeling the warmth of my baby, âDad needs rest. We canât disturb him.â
With plenty of excuses like that, we persuaded Zoe to stay at my Villa. He was so tired due to the long day that he fell asleep swiftly after that.
Bright did us a favor by dropping him on his way home. I wanted to leave too but only stopped to converse about Leoâs drug addiction. It was Melody who drugged him and al Chapter 147 that, but his failing health was worrying Zoe, so asked him.
âYou are a victim of drug abuse, not fit to be around kids, Leo. Please make an effective plan for the treatment.â
Leoâs jaw slacked as he widened his droopy eyes, rejecting my claim.
âI am not an addict. Itâs just that...â
Really, Leo?
Were we still doing this?
I said, shrugging my eyes, âLeo, thereâs no need to lie. We have investigated everything.â
He listened to ou efforts intently, the sudden shine in his swollen eyes until the end felt reassuring for the first time.
âIt feels good to hear that at least, you care for me as the father of our kids, Laura.â
