Chapter 80
“Damien” Scarlett looked up and sat up slowly.
Damien Malcom didn’t say a word as he was walked over and hugged her into his arms.
Scarlett smiled and leaned on him.
For the first time since she returned, she felt peaceful and secured, and he is the only one who made her feel that way.
“You are back” He muttered as Scarlett could feel his arms tightening around her. She ignored the pain on her back and allowed him to hug.
She could feel his anxiety and fear, but she realized the seriousness of the matter when she felt her shoulder wet.
“Damien” She called out.
“I’m back and I will never leave again” It was a simple word from her but it made the person hugging her relax alot.
“You can’t break your promise” He separated from the hug and looked at her deeply.
Scarlett saw his red eyes abs sighed distressed, “It must have been hard on you” She raised his hands and wiped the tears on his face.
Who would have expected the almighty Damien Malcolm will cry.
Damien didn’t say a word but just stared at her, Amused by him looking like an abandoned Puppy, She leaned forward and kissed the corner of his eyes.
“I’m fine now ok” She assured him but the other wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer to himself.
“Ouch!” The stitch pulled causing her to exclaim unconsciously.
“Are you ok?” Damien let her go and looked at his hand that was dyed red.
“You are bleeding”
“I was shot at the back” She muttered and ignored the pain that shot through her body.
“I will call the doctor” Damien stood up and left before Scarlett could say another word.
“Mommy” Scarlett heard Dillan’s voice from the side.
“Come here” She gestured to him as he climbed down from his bed and walked towards her.
Ignoring the pain, Scarlett carried him up and let him sit on her laps.
“Your back?” Dillan hesitated and wanted to go down.
“Don’t worry about my back, I’m fine” She held him and sighed slightly.
“I’m sorry I haven’t been with you for the past three months. Are you angry with mommy?” Scarlett asked feeling a little uneasy.
“No! Daddy said you will come back and I believed him. I know you will never abandon us” He said as Scarlett hugged him more.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. Your sister must be scared of what happened today ” She muttered and looked at Delanie who huddled at the bed peacefully.
“Get down!” A Cold voice sounded from the door breaking the warm atmosphere between the mother and son.
“I don’t want to,!” Dillan shook his head and snuggled closer to Scarlett.
“Dillan!” Damien called sternly but the other looked at him without flinching.
“Do you know your mom is injured?” Damien decided to play the emotional card.
“That’s not true, Mom said she is not injured” Dillan refused to believe him.
“I thought you are smart but I didn’t realize you are also a dummy” Damien curled his lips in disgust as Dillan pursed his lips.
He suddenly remembered that his mom was shot and she was bleeding. The wound wouldn’t have healed in the span of a day.
“Mom you lied to me” He turned and looked at Scarlett aggrieved.
“Do you have to expose it like that” Scarlett glared at Damien as she helped Dillan down.
“Her stitches broke” Damien said to Sixtus that came inside.
“And where is the female doctor?’ Damien asked after he saw that it was only him that came into the ward.
“Oh?! I forgot about that I will send a female doctor over” Sixtus hurriedly left after he saw Damien’s cold eye.
“So possessive!” He muttered and went on his way to send for the female doctor.
Soon the female doctor entered the room.
Scarlett lay on her belly as the doctor stitched the wound that was opened.
“Madame should be careful and don’t do anything that will strain your back for the main time.” The Doctor ordered as Scarlett nodded.
“You will have to lie on your stomach until the stitch is removed” She said.
“Ok. Thank you Doctor ” She said as Damien stared at the them From the side without leaving.
After the doctor left, he sat down on the sit next to Scarlett’s bed.
“I will take the kids home” Lisa came over and carried the sleeping Delanie while holding Dillan.
She walked out of the hospital premises to see Aiden following behind her.
“Why are you following me?” She raised her head and asked him.
“The President asked me to drive the young Master and Young Miss home” Aiden said and unlocked the car allowing them to enter.
Lisa who was about to find fault could only snort and got into the car with the kids.
Seeing her reaction Aiden sighed helplessly, after thinking about what he did for a long time he realized that he really didn’t do what he was supposed to do.
Because at least at the moment, What Lisa wanted the most from him was acknowledgment but instead he did what he did.
The car drove in silence as no one said a word except for their soft breathing.
The car stopped in front of the Villa, Lisa got down with the kids as Ma’am Beatrice and Uncle Ben came over and led them inside leaving only Lisa and Aiden standing next to each other.
“Can we talk?” Aiden asked Lisa who was just about to leave.
“There is nothing for us to talk about” Lisa shook her and made to leave but Aiden held her hand and stopped her from leaving.
“I know it’s my fault, And about that I’m sorry” Aiden apologized.
“What’s the need of apologizing, You just showed me that you didn’t take out relationship that seriously” Lisa smiled bitterly.
“I’m sorry and I will continue to apologize until you forgive me. Anyway we have not broken up so you are still my girlfriend?” Aiden dragged her closer to himself and claimed.
“You Roger!” Lisa pushed him away but Aiden didn’t budge.
They both stared at each other without any word but the romantic atmosphere was broken by the phone call.
Pushing him away, Lisa picked up her phone from her pocket and connected it.
It turned out to be an alarm and not a call.
“Someone is trying to hack into my computer!”
