In the intensive care unit of a hospital, Frank was lying on the bed with an oxygen mask. His head was bandaged and his legs were in plaster. Due to his serious injury, he was currently in a coma and would not recover anytime soon.
In front of the glass window, William was shocked to see Frank like this.
"William!" Supported by someone, Felipe walked out of the ward and took off his mask. To William's surprise, Felipe seemed like he had aged ten years overnight.
"Uncle Felipe." William bowed respectfully to him and asked, "How is Frank?"
"He just had an operation, but I'm afraid he's still in danger." Felipe sighed and sat on the chair aside. "I don't know when he will wake up."
"He will be fine," reassured William. "Uncle Felipe, with all due respect, what happened to Frank?" he asked in confusion.
"He had a car accident in his sister's cemetery last night."
"The cemetery? Last night?" William was shocked. When he had left Frank alone, Frank was still well. Albeit hurt and miserable, he was alive. "How could this be?"
"Tell him!" Felipe waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!" The bodyguard standing aside said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Mr. Lan, according to my investigation, young master was hit by a car last night when he suddenly rushed out of the cemetery. Uncle Eden, the man who is guarding the cemetery, said that when he ran out, he was calling your name."
Hearing that, William frowned and his heart sank. He turned to Felipe and said, "Uncle Felipe, I'm sorry!"
"It's none of your business," Felipe responded in a hoarse voice. "It's lucky that he didn't die, unlike Sansa."
Sansa...
William's Adam's apple rolled and he
two kids and she was able to grab them before the kids reached William. She shouted, "Don't you listen to Mommy anymore?!" I told you to stop running. Do you know it's dangerous?"
"Mary..." William called her affectionately.
"William Lan." Mary stood straight. She looked at him in the eye, and a cold smile appeared at her lips. At a glance, William could not recognize her. Mary's hatred seemed to have transformed her. "What are you doing here again?"
"Dad!" Elissa tried to get rid of Mary's grab.
"Elissa!" Unable to keep her at bay, Mary loosened her hold. However, before Elissa could take another step, Mary said fiercely, "If you take one step forward, I will abandon you."
"Mommy..." Elissa was about to take a step forward, but she suddenly stopped. She did not understand what Mary said, but her mother's tone was scary.
"Mommy, what's wrong with you?" Alick held Mary's hand and asked, "Elissa just wanted to see our father."
"He, William Lan," Mary pointed at William and said to the two kids, "he is not your father anymore. If you want to go to him, don't come back to me!"
"Wooah... Wooah... Mommy!" Upon hearing this, Elissa burst into tears.
"Mary!" Standing outside the door, William could do nothing but watch his daughter cry. He asked anxiously, "What are you talking about? You just made poor Elissa cry. What do you mean I'm not their father anymore?"
"Don't you understand?" Mary took a deep breath and hid a trace of redness in her eyes. Mustering all the courage she had, she said slowly, "I mean, from now on, I have nothing to do with you. There is no possibility between us. My children are just my own children!"
