Semua Bab Rebirth Of The Broken Luna: A Second Chance at Luna's Heart : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Chapter 82: Parental Instincts XENOISThorne was already on his feet, his earlier anger forgotten in the face of a crisis that involved children. "I'm coming with you.""Fine," I said, not bothering to argue with him. Thorne was almost as stubborn as me, besides I was going to need his car to get there and finally send someone to get my car from the school. But right now, all I cared about was getting to my son.The drive to the hospital seemed to pass so quickly as my mind was filled with worried thoughts as I sat in the passenger seat. What if Ollie was seriously hurt? What if Riley was even worse off than Mrs. Henderson had told me? What if this was somehow my fault, had the children seen what happened and gotten into a fight about it as well. Or was this the work of a bully? But who? Ollie was well liked by his classmates and Riley was just on his first day here.We were directed to the pediatric ward when we arrived, and I felt my heart racing as we made our way through the whit

Chapter 84: The Impossible TruthXENOIS The door burst open like someone had forced their way in, and my mate rushed in, her face flushed red from running and her eyes were filled with panic. She looked between me and Dr. Martinez, taking in our serious expressions and the papers scattered across the desk."Is Ollie okay?" she asked breathlessly as she held her laps to gain back her breath as she went on speaking. "I got a call saying there was an accident, that he was hurt—""Ollie is fine," Dr. Martinez said quickly, gathering up the lab reports and sliding them back into the file, hiding it from her view. "He has some minor injuries, but nothing serious that you need to be beside yourself with worry about. He's going to be perfectly fine."I watched as Lumina's shoulder sagged, her face filled with relief as the fear left her body. She hadn't even acknowledged the fact that I was here as well.She hadn't looked at me directly since entering the room. The distance between us felt

Chapter 86: Taking Both Boys HomeLUMINA"She'll come," Riley said quietly, but he didn't sound convinced about what he was saying. It was almost like he was trying to convince himself more than he needed to convince us."She's probably just busy.""Sweetheart, it's almost ten o'clock," I continued, gently touching his shoulders gently as I tried to explain it to him. "The hospital doesn't allow visitors to come on to see their loved ones after hours. Even if she wanted to come back tonight, they wouldn't let her in until morning."Riley's face fell slightly, but he quickly composed himself as he wiped away some tears that threatened to spill. "I can wait here by myself. I don't need anyone to stay with me."The way he said it broke my heart. This was a five-year-old boy who was injured and alone, and he had accepted his fate to spending the night in a hospital without any family around. It was wrong on every level."You're not staying here alone," I said firmly, shaking my head. "D

Chapter 88: A Desperate PlanSOPHIASophia didn't say anything for a while as I could see that she was trying to think about this.After a minute, she broke the silence as she asked."What kind of reason?""I need you to arrange for some people to attack me," I said, the plan becoming more solid in my mind as I spoke to her."Tonight. Here at my house. They need to hurt me, but not too badly. Nothing permanent, nothing that won't heal. And they need to burn the house down.""Sophia—""Think about it," I continued, already getting excited by the idea. "If I was attacked, if my house was destroyed, it would explain why I wasn't at the hospital and why I had abandoned Riley all alone there. It would make me look like the victim of some terrible crime that has happened. And it would give me a reason to need help, to need somewhere safe to stay.""You want to move in with Xenois," Andy said, realization dawning in her tone."Exactly," I said, feeling happy that she was seeing the bigger pi

Chapter 90: Complicated Situations XENOISI looked up at him, meeting his concerned looks. It seemed like he had set aside our feud to worry about something more important."What do you mean?""I mean you're more agitated than usual, even considering everything that happened yesterday. And every time you look at Lumina, you get this expression on your face like you're about to confess to murder."I felt my stomach clench with dread and nausea as I realized what this meant. Thorne had always been perceptive, able to read my moods, and have a calculated guess at my thoughts better than anyone else. But I wasn't ready to tell him about Riley's DNA, and I wasn't ready to admit that I had no idea how I'd fathered a child without knowing it."I'm just dealing with the aftermath of yesterday," I said, hoping he'd accept the deflection that I was handing out on a silver platter. "The incident at school, Sophia's disappearance and all that stuff, you know?.""Bullshit," Thorne said bluntly, r
