Kelvin sat on the floor with his back resting against the wall outside his father’s room, waiting impatiently as a doctor tended to his
father’s wounds.I
He was trying to remain calm, but his shaking legs betrayed him.
“Don’t worry, Kelvin, your dad will be fine, Frieda comforted him.
“I know his voice was low and sad.
At that moment, the doctor came out. Kelvin and Frieda rushed to him.
“How is my dad doing?” Kelvin asked. He sounded anxious yet hopeful.I
Your dad is fine. He needs a little rest, though, the doctor replied.
Kelvin’s eyes lit up, but just when he was about to enter the room, his excitement vanished, and he paused when he heard the doctor telling Frieda he would like to have a private chat with her.
Doctor Luther, you said my dad is fine, correct?“]
Yes I
Then why are you asking her to have a private chat with you? You can talk to me if there is any problem. I’m his family–his son,” Kelvin said, getting more agitated at this point
Listen, Kelvin, you’re still a kid, and there are some things I’d need an adult’s approval on,” the doctor explained, trying to wave it off like it wasn’t a big deal, but Kelvin wasn’t buying ita
Tm sull a kid, but I’m his only family here. Frieda is not my dad’s wife yet, so she’s not legally family.“?
Seeing how Kelvin wasn’t willing to give up, Doctor Luther sighed and said, “I don’t want to talk to Frieda about your father. Frieda is my niece, and I only wanted to talk to her about some family issues.“1
Kelvin narrowed his eyes suspiciousty1
It’s about her mother Doctor Luther explained simply.
Although he didn’t believe Doctor Luther, he didn’t argue further as he entered his father’s room.
“You come with me! Doctor Luther said to Frieda, walking farther away from Fred’s room.
To everything okay at home, Uncle? Frieda asked when they were finally in a quiet comer.
Doctor Luther frowned slightly. Really? Can’t you tell I only said that to dismiss the boy?” he asked, surprised at his niece’s daftness.
Ch.2
Doctor Luther shook his head.1
must be about Fred then. What is going on with Fred? Is his condition so severe? Would he need surgery?” Her voice shook as panic shot through her veins.1
Fred is fine. I just wanted to warm you about something.“Z
Phew! Thank goodness.“?
Immediately I alighted from my car, I heard Fred’s men discussing outside that it was Enzo Raffaele who took him. Is that true?“} “Yeah, Freda answered.I
This is bad. Very bad; he panicked.3
What is bad?
Haven’t you heard the rumors??
“What numors?” she asked back.2
“Enzo Raffaele is not to be trifled with. He is a ruthless man. He doesn’t let go of anyone who trifles with him until they are erased from the surface of the earth. Now that Fred has gotten on his bad side, I’d advise you to break up with him and leave the country before Enzo Raffaele finds out you’re Fred’s girlfriend “2
Listening to Doctor Luther’s words, Frieda was scared, but her fear lasted only a few seconds.%
No Frieda replied stubbornly. “I can’t break up with Fred
Chole, Fred is the man I’ve chosen to be with for the rest of my life, come what may. I won’t abandon him, especially not now that he’ll need me the most.
Doctor Luther looked frustrated.
“Are you even listening to yourself, Frieda? Your father is no longer in a position to protect you, and as it is now, Fred can’t even protect himself from Enzo Raffaele. How do you expect him to protect you?”
1 don’t care Well figure out something once he regains consciousness.” Then she left.
Doctor Luther watched as she walked away
10:06 AM
“Why can’t she see the dangers ahead?” he asked himself.”
Taking a deep breath, he shook his head and left.%
Kelvin glared at the door as it pushed open and Frieda walked in.”
“Has your dad regained consciousness?” she asked, but Kelvin didn’t respond. “Did you know your father’s doctor is my un–“>
“I heard your conversation,” he interrupted her.
“Sorry?”
“You want to break up with my dad,” he said.”
“What? No, I’m not breaking up with your dad.”
“He wants you to break up with my dad. Is that how fickle adults are?“%
Frieda let out a small laugh. “Come on, Kelvin, don’t take what my uncle said seriously. Maybe you didn’t listen to our entire conversation -I already told him that I’m not leaving your dad.“%
Kelvin’s eyes lit up. “Really? You’ll stay with us?“%
“Yes.”
“That’s great,” he said, giving her an appreciative hug./
