CHAPTER 24
Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Xander couldn’t hold back his fears as he sat on the chair beside the bed, while staring at his Mom. The mistake he made years ago had come haunting him. Something he never expected would happen to him.. “Mom… It seems like I’ve made a huge mistake… I don’t know what to do,” Ilis heart wrenched painfully as he reached for her hand and rubbed it gently. It felt like the whole world was against Xander at this moment. He wasn’t sure yet if those kids were his, but deep inside him, he was sure they could turn out to be his kids since he was never sterile, “We were having a beautiful life, Mom… She was the best thing that ever happened to me. How could I have treated her that way? Why didn’t I listen to her?” He whispered as he rested his head on the bed, his cheeks soaked in his tears. As the memories of that night hit him hard, recalling how she cried, pleaded with him not to throw her out, tried to prove her innocence. The memories of everything made him only resent himself for never listening to her even if it was just that once. The sound of his ringing phone disrupted him, and he sighed as he raised his head and sat up on the chair. “Nick” was boldly written on the screen of his phone as he checked it out. He watched the phone ring until the call ended. ‘Sir, please answer my call. It’s something important A text popped on the screen of his phone as soon as the call ended, and barely five-seconds later, the phone started to ring with Nick’s number on the screen again. Xander hesitantly swiped the answer button and held the phone to his ear. “What is it, Nick?” His voice was rough and weak as he wiped his tears with the back of his palm. “Sir… I think Ms Summer is having a dinner date with Mr. Hunter tonight,” Xander’s eyebrows furrowed immediately. “Dinner date?” Of course, he heard Nick correctly, but just wanted to confirm if he really didn’t misheard him, “Yes, Sir…
“I want you to find out where they are meeting, and make a reservation in the whole restaurant. Make sure that ba st ard doesn’t go there,” “But, Sir…” “I want an answer in thirty minutes. Don’t keep me waiting!” “What if he makes a reservation in another…” “Then f uck ing stop him from showing up! To serve me! That’s what I f u ck ing employed you for!” Xander tried not to yell as he clenched his fingers around his phone. “Yes, boss. I’ll do that,” The call ended afterwards, and he breathed out. — “That b as ta rd!” He cursed under his breath with his eyes closed. He was sure we getting Ing Summer to forgive him was going to be difficult, but f u ck it! At this point, no way he would sit back and watch another man have a chance with her. Never! “I’ll come see you again, Mom… I need to attend to something.” He kissed the back of his Mom’s hand, stood up from the chair, and strode out of the ward. He took the elevator to the last floor where he stepped out and headed to the parking lot. Chapter 24 “Right…” He paused just before he arrived at the parking lot, took out his phone, and dialed a number. “Hello, boss. It’s not yet thirty. “I need an appointment with Doctor Spencer first thing tomorrow morning. Be fast about it!” He pulled his car door open and hopped in the driver’s seat. “Sir, Dr. Spencer is not in town now, I heard he traveled to Canada and will only be back in two days,” Nick’s voice sounded from the other end, and he sighed. “I want to be the first person he sees as soon as he gets back. I don’t know that’s going to be possible, but tell him I f u cking want to see him!” “Yes, Sir, I will make sure of that.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Good. I need feedback about that b as ta rd. You have…” He paused then checked his wristwatch and continued, “Twenty-two minutes more,” “Yes, Sir. Il send it to you shortly,” He finally ended the call, and tossed the phone on the seat beside him. “Spencer… You are f u cking done for! I’m going to ruin your career as a doctor the same way you ruined my life,” Kander picked up his phone once again. For a second, he thought of texting Summer, but on a second thought, he knew this didn’t make any sense. It wasn’t a good idea. What the f u ck was he going to tell her? Oh, I’m sorry, I found out I was never sterile? Does that even make any sense? “F u ck it!” He tossed his phone back on the seat, started the car, and drove out of the hospital It was barely five minutes into the drive when his phone’s ringtone disrupted his attention. “It must be Nick calling with that thought in mind, he reached for his phone, but sighed disappointedly upon seeing who the caller was. “Ella, Daddy is busy right now. Can I call you back later?” He tried to sound calm after he answered the call. “It’s me, Sir, Phoebe. Ella is burning up. I think she has fever,” Phoebe’s worried voice sounded from the other end, and Xander marched the brake abruptly, bringing the car to a halt as it made a loud screeching voice. “Ella? What happened to her? Where is she now? Have you taken her to the hospital yet?” He blinked his eyes worriedly. “She doesn’t want to go to the hospital until she sees you, Sir,” Came Phoebe’s voice again, and he sighed. “Alright. I’ll be home in a couple of minutes,” He tossed the phone back on the seat. “Not today, please,” He muttered as he started the car and continued his drive Twenty-eight minutes later, Xander pulled over at his parking lot, and alighted from the car. “Phoebe… Phoebel” He called out as he walked down the hallway minutes later. He pushed one of the many doors open, and barged inside. “Daddy!” Ella pouted her lips and grimaced her face as soon as she saw him.
“Sweetie… Are you ok? Daddy is here,” He hurried over to the bed and hugged her. “I missed you, Daddy. Her ro und ey es were filled with tears as they stared up innocently at him. “I’m sorry for not being here, sweetie. Something came up, and I had to attend to it,” He cupped her cheeks in his palms and flashed a smile at her. “Are you ok, Daddy? You don’t look fine,” She raised her eyebrows suspiciously, and he forced a smile. “I’m fine, sweetie. Where is Phoebe?” TU-11 Weo, 12 Jun Chapter 24 Just then, the door opened and a blonde-haired young lady in her late twenties walked in with a bowl of water and a white towel on her shoulder. “I’m here, Sir. I went to get water to massage her body.” me have that. Go get her something to eat,” He took the bowl and towel and Phoebe then turned to Ella and smiled. “Let me “What would you like to eat?” “I’m not hungry…” “Don’t give me that. You need to eat something,” He cut her off, and she pouted her lips. “I’ll have noodles.” “Get her noodles. Don’t make it too sp icy,” “Yes, Sir,” And with that, Phoebe left the room and closed the door gently behind her. “Are you still going out today?” Ella blinked her eyes cutely as he gently tucked her on the bed. “Hmm… I still have something to take care of. But don’t worry, I won’t be out for long.” He assured her as he gently dipped the towel inside the bowl. “Hmm,” She slowly nodded her head. Xander carefully wrung out water from the towel and placed it gently on her forehead. “You should get some rest while I’m…” His voice trailed off as his phone beeped,
“Excuse me, sweetie,” He brought out his phone, unlocked it, and a text popped on the screen. “I’ve reserved the whole restaurant and also tipped the manager not to tell him about it. I’ll try to delay him’ He sighed briefly after he read through the text. Now that it was done, what was he going to do? Show up there instead of Hunter? How was he going to face her after all the pain he had caused her? 0
