"Mary..." William stared at Mary with confusion.
"He is your son! Your son!" Crying frantically, Mary went on, "And now, he is injured. Please save him! He is in dire need of your help." She didn't mind pleading. After all, her son was dangling between life and death.
Apart from Mary's sobs, the corridor was eerily quiet.
William stood still for a second, perplexed. The information that was thrown at him was too much to digest!
"Our... son?" he asked when he finally found his voice. William suddenly felt his throat tighten. It seemed that his ability to speak had been stripped away.
"Yes! He is our son!" Tears blurred Mary's vision. Taking a step forward, she made a grab at his collar.
"I will save him..." he mumbled.
"Hurry up then!" Lucas walked towards William and pulled him to the operating room.
"Sir, first take the child's father to have an examination," the nurse said as she watched them enter the operating room.
"Bullshit!" Lucas roared, "He is quite a healthy man. These formalities will only waste time. I'm a doctor. Come with me to the operating room!"
"Well... Alright. Alright." The nurse knew better than to argue. Nodding her head, she walked inside with them.
As soon as William entered the operation room, his eyes fell on Alick who was lying limply on the bed.
he was done with the phone call. "Come fast! Hold me!" Elissa pleaded, pouting.
"Of course, my baby girl." Barry picked her up gently, placed a kiss on her forehead and asked, "How are you doing? Does your body ache?"
"Not anymore. I am fine now" Elissa shook her head. She glanced around as if searching for someone. Confused, she looked at him and asked, "Where is my brother?"
"Your brother is still sleeping."
"Can I please see him?"
"Yes, you can, but after he wakes up!"
William watched them in bewilderment. A trickle of jealousy moved through him.
'Elissa is my daughter! Why is she calling him daddy!'
To draw her attention, he started, "Elissa, I am you---"
"William!" Mary cut him off in a shrill, harsh voice. She gave him an angry glance and said, "Come out with me! I have something to tell you."
Hearing her request, William was taken aback. He frowned but nodded his head and followed her lead.
Barry watched the two of them leave. He couldn't help but frown.
Once they were a good distance away from Elissa, in the garden, Mary came to a halt. William, on the other hand, was still reeling from everything that had happened. He couldn't believe his luck. "William!" Mary said, rousing him from his reverie. As she looked at him, her features turned stiff and mirthless.
