170 [Bonus chapter] 170. Revealing the Truth

Samuel entered Doctor Evans’ clinic. He was startled to find Thomas already there.

“Dad? Isn’t you in a meeting?” asked Samuel surprised because he did not expect that his father would come to the clinic so quickly.

Thomas shook his head slowly and forced a smile on his tired face. “Thank you, Sam! You have taken good care of Larissa.”

Samuel smiled, happy to have a father who loved his mother so much. His father’s mistakes in the past that left him stranded from the womb until he was seven years old paid off with everything his father did afterward.

“Don’t worry, she’s my mother. Of course, I will take good care of her,” replied Samuel, taunting his father who looked worried.

“How are you doing?” asked Samuel’s father, curiously. “Did you get her?”

“What?” asked Samuel somewhat confused.

“Aren’t you after your woman?” asked Thomas, chuckling softly.

Sam’s face flushed. He glanced at the nurse who had shown him where Clara had gone. The middle-aged woman dressed all in white smiled at him while bowing her head briefly. Samuel understood how his father knew that he was after Clara.

.....

The handsome pianist then turned his face to his father and said, “She asked me to come back here. She reminded me about mom’s condition.”

“You’re not afraid if she runs away again?” asked Thomas, narrowing his eyes.

“She said that she would wait for me at the penthouse. I have to trust her, no?” Samuel said confidently.

Thomas smiled, proud of Samuel’s decision to trust Clara. He patted his son on the shoulder, hoping God would give him the best.

“What I experienced with your mother back then was a lack of trust. Supposedly, if I can make Larissa trust me, I definitely won’t lose you two for eight years,” Thomas recalled with regret. His jade eyes looked into Samuel’s eyes, glistening with tears. The guilt still hadn’t gone away even after all these years.

“Come on, Dad! Don’t bring it up again. You make me feel uncomfortable,” said Samuel, patting his father on the back. “It’s not as bad as you think. I told you.”

Not long after, doctor Evans came out of the examination room and looked at Thomas and Samuel with a playful smile. Samuel recognized it as the face Doctor Evans would show if another new member would come to the family.

Sure enough, shortly after, Doctor Evans said, “Congratulations! Your wife is getting pregnant again.” Doctor Evans looked at Thomas with a characteristic chuckle. For a moment, she forgot her confrontation with Clara a while ago. “It’s eight weeks already.”

Thomas looked so happy, he almost jumped and cheered as if his favorite football team rolled a beautiful goal into the opponent’s goal. However, not so with Samuel. The young man was still preoccupied with his thoughts. He could only force a small smile at his father because his head was filled with big question marks about Clara and her problems.

“She’s awake, you can see her inside,” said Doctor Evans, inviting Samuel and his father to meet Larissa.

Thomas invited Samuel, but the young man refused. “You would like to have a few words alone with mom, wouldn’t you?” rejected Samuel lazily.

“Larissa will be happier if you visit her now,” Thomas insisted. “You are the eldest.” He tried to convince his son.

Samuel sighed. He put his lips close to his father’s ear and whispered, “You made me suspect that you were doing something wrong to my mom.”

“What do you mean?” Thomas frowned, worriedly.

“Mom said that she took the pills. However, it turned out that she was still pregnant. Did you do something to her?” asked Samuel with narrowed eyes.

Thomas smiled playfully. “How could I do something indecent to my wife?” the still-handsome old man asked.

“If you are afraid that she will be angry, then ask me for company, that’s called cheating,” whispered Samuel. “Be a man and face the danger yourself.”

Thomas laughed at Samuel’s reasonable analysis. “You are not a child anymore. You can’t be fooled so easily,” Thomas chuckled at Samuel.

Samuel smiled lightly. “I almost thought that the pills are completely useless.”

Samuel’s father shook his head. The man then told the truth to his son. “I’m not that bad. Your mother took expired pills. I knew it, but I kept quiet because I still want to have children from her.”

“What?” Samuel asked. He flinched as if remembering something. He recalled, when he first had sex with Clara, the girl said that she took pills so he spilled his seeds inside her without hesitation ... even though he wasn’t wearing rubber.

“Dad, I’m sure that mom won’t be angry with you,” Samuel said. “I have some business with Doctor Evans.”

“Hey!” Thomas could not hold back his son who immediately fled away, leaving him in pensive astonishment. The man immediately entered the patient’s room to see his wife.

Meanwhile, Samuel entered Doctor Evans’ examination room. His feelings were mixed, between curiosity and worry. However, he was sure that Clara’s problem was not a light one, by any means.

“Tell me, what happened to Clara exactly?” urged Samuel matter-of-factly, he didn’t even bother to greet the doctor.

Doctor Evans felt scared. “You know her?” asked the doctor, forcing a smile on her frightened face.

“She is a very important person to me,” Samuel answered confidently, looking at doctor Evans with a sharp gaze.

Doctor Evans swallowed hard. This time she would not be able to escape from her responsibility. She must make up for all her mistakes. The truth must be revealed. She felt lucky that she didn’t have to tell Clara everything in person.

With a trembling voice, the old doctor said, “It was … a long story.”

“Even for a day or two I will make time to hear it from you,” whispered Samuel with suppressed anger.

Doctor Evans tremblingly opened her palm, inviting Samuel to sit down. The time had come to uncover the truth that had been silenced for years.
