His Father’s Addction CHAPTER 125
HAZEL“Please send me the address. I'll be right there.”I ended the call and picked up my bag.William stopped eating.“What is going on?”“A friend of mine was rushed to the hospital. I need to go.”“Which friend?”“I'll call you.”I was already heading for the door before he could ask another question.There was no way I was telling him who the friend was.My phone vibrated just as I got outside. The hospital address.Thankfully, it wasn't far. I got into my car and drove like a mad person.Every red light irritated me. Every slow driver suddenly became my enemy.I didn't even know what was wrong with Elvis. The caller had only said he'd been brought in.Brought in because of what?An accident? Was he conscious? Was he hurt?“Please be okay,” I muttered.I finally reached the hospital and parked in the first available space I found.I grabbed my bag and hurried inside.The receptionist looked up when I approached.“Good evening. I'm here to see Elvis Laurent. I received a call from

HAZELWhen we got home, the dining table was already set.I stopped at the entrance, William was inside.He had a key to the house.Betty stood beside me with Maya asleep in her arms. I caught the look she gave him immediately.Oh, no.I pinched her arm. She turned to me with wide eyes.I gave her a warning look.If there was one thing Betty was terrible at, it was hiding how she felt about someone. Her face could expose an entire secret before she even opened her mouth.“Hi, William,” she said.At least she tried.“I'll drop Maya in her room and get some good night's rest. Goodnight.”“Goodnight, Betty.”She walked away with Maya.I watched her disappear down to her room.Before today, Betty would've stayed around. She would've checked what William cooked, teased him about something, or sat with us for a few minutes before going to her room.Now she couldn't even stand being in the same space with him.I had to bridge that gap before he noticed.“Hi.”William smiled at me.“Hi, my lo

CHAPTER 123ELVISI leaned against my car with Moses beside me.The evening was cool, but I wasn't in a hurry to leave.Doris still didn't want to see me. I respected her decision.If she needed weeks, I'd give her weeks. If it took months, I'd have no choice but to wait. I only hoped it wouldn't take that long.“How is she faring?”Moses nodded. “She's good. Her sessions have been great.”“Any improvement?”“A lot, actually. She has improved tremendously. The doctors are impressed with her progress.”That was encouraging.“She's walking better?”“Yes. Much better. Don't worry too much. She'll be perfectly okay soon.”I nodded.“I hope so.”I could live with Doris being angry with me. What was difficult to live with was knowing what she'd gone through because of my son.I had failed her without knowing she existed, and Jarvis had unknowingly added to the pain.Life certainly knew how to play terrible jokes.“Has she said anything about me?”Moses shook his head.“Nothing?”“Nothing wo

HAZELFour whole days had passed, and I had managed to stayed afloat.I went to work, came home, took care of Maya and pretended everything was okay.William had been coming around to see her. I didn't stop him.We talked too, just not as much as before. I had asked him to give me time to process everything going on, and thankfully, he hadn't pushed too much.I hadn't seen Elvis either since after the incident that happened in my office I wanted it to remain that way for now.My head already had enough people living inside it rent-free.This evening, though, I could barely sit still.I was parked at the spot Betty and I had agreed to meet, waiting for her to return from the third hospital.Maya was asleep in the back, properly strapped into her car seat.I checked the time again.Damn! What was taking Betty so long?I picked up my phone expecting a call or message from her. I dropped it when I saw none.Less than a minute later, I picked it up again, still nothing.“Come on, Betty,

HAZELSurprisingly, Elvis didn't retaliate.He placed his fingers against his lip and looked at them before raising his eyes to William.I moved between them immediately.“Stop this minute. I lost my step and he helped me find my balance. That's all that happened.”William's chest was still rising heavily.“No. I know what this man is trying to do.”“What are you talking about?”“I know exactly what he's doing. Slowly curving his way back into our lives so he can destroy the perfect family we're already building.”I stared at him.“I won't allow that.”The way he said it made me uncomfortable.There was something almost obsessive about his tone. I had seen William upset before, but never like this.And right now, he was behaving as if what happened at the hospital hadn't happened at all. As if I hadn't walked away from him because my entire head was in chaos.“Elvis didn't do anything.”“He doesn't need to. I know men like him.”I looked over at Elvis. He was already sitting down, cal

HAZELI picked up my bag and left as fast as my legs could carry me.I heard William call my name, but I didn't stop.By the time I got to my car, my hands still hadn't stopped shaking. I reached for the door handle and missed it the first time.“Damn it.”I tried again and got the door open.My keys were inside my bag, but there was no way I was driving like this, and riding home with William in the same car was the last thing I wanted to do.I shut the door again and walked away. I needed space to think properly, far away from William. I walked out of the hospital compound and kept going until I saw a taxi approaching.I raised my hand. It slowed and stopped beside me.I opened the back door and got in.“Where, ma?”“Anywhere.”The driver turned to look at me.“Anywhere?”“Yes.”He studied my face.“Are you okay, ma?”I scoffed. Did I look okay to him?My chest felt like it was ripping apart from everything I'd just heard. William was Maya's father. Even thinking it sounded wrong.H
