His Father’s Addction CHAPTER 127
ELVIS“Stay put, my love. Send me the address. I'll be there right away. Nothing will happen to him, okay?”There was a small pause from the other end.“Okay.”The call ended. I lowered the phone.“What happened?” Hazel asked.“My cousin is in the hospital. He's the one taking care of my daughter, and she's scared. I need to go over there and see them.”Hazel got up immediately.“But you're unwell yourself. You heard what the doctor said.”“I know.”“Elvis, you can't just leave the hospital.”“I promise I'll be back.”I reached for my jacket and stopped when the movement sent a slight ache through my chest.Damn it. Hazel noticed.“See?”“I'm fine.”“You're clearly not.”“I need to be with my daughter.”I looked at her.“You do understand, right?”She wasn't happy about it, but she nodded.“Okay. I'll wait here.”“Thank you.”“I'll tell the nurse you went for a walk if anyone comes looking for you.”I smiled.“Covering for a runaway patient. I like this side of you.”“This isn't funn

ELVISThat got me to adjust and sit straighter.“A poisonous substance?”The doctor nodded. My mind immediately ran through everything I'd eaten today.I skipped breakfast. Lunch was a meeting with some of the company's management. I ordered chicken salad. Nothing else came to mind, except the water.The last thing I drank before I started struggling to breathe was the water Collins gave me.“Doctor, are you sure about this?”“Yes, very certain.”I glanced at Hazel. Her hand was still wrapped around mine, but the playful mood from minutes ago was completely gone.“What kind of poison?”“We're still carrying out further tests to identify the exact substance. For now, our priority is making sure you're stable and clearing it from your system.”I nodded slowly.“You'll remain under treatment so we can flush out the poisonous substance completely. You were lucky to have been brought in when you were. If there had been a longer delay, we could've been dealing with a very different case.”H

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,
