บททั้งหมดของ Too Late, Baby Daddy!: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 19

It was as if he spoke her mind and Avery stopped shivering, completely letting loose in Luca’s arms. He inhaled in as her body crashed into his and she fell unconscious. He gazed at her, lifting her up from the ground and into his car. After she was properly in the seatbelt, he leaned back in his chair. “What do I do from here?” He placed his palms on his chin, watching Avery turning paler each second. He sighed knowing she still was alive with some visible pulse.  He picked up her purse from the backseat, ransacking it thoroughly until he found her phone. He unlocked it with her face, and went directly to her contacts.  The first number he saw on her contact list was that of Alnos. Attached to it was a heart emoji. Luca’s brows arched upwards, wondering how far these two relationships had gone. The first person she called was Alnos and now, she had him as her first contact. 

He slouched back against the pillows, clearly frustrated yet resigned to his current predicament. He hated that he had to be sick in bed all day. Jay chuckled, laying his things down on the chair and adjusting his mask. "So, do you want me to bring her over here for a little reunion?”  Luca shook his head, a smile curling up on the edge of his lips as Jay made a joke of him. “I can bet that I can still strangle you even when I am sick. Enough with the talk about her, I think I'd rather just get through the day in peace.” He paused, a reluctant grin tugging at his lips. Jay gulped in, and kept his mouth shut. He brought out the little blood test kit from his bag and had some blood drawn out from Luca. “This amount should be enough to find the actual source of this flu.” He dumped the blood sample into a clean, sterile bag and zipped it up. Having washed his hands clean, he returned to th

Raymond stared at Luca for a moment, his eyes shimmering with surprise at Luca's changed expression. He poked his head upwards and said. “She doesn't say it so much but she sits alone after celebrating our birthday in the night. Something about that day brings sadness to her.” Luca's jaws tightened listening to Raymond speak. He knelt down to his height, pulling him in for a hug despite being positive for the flu. He didn't care, he just wanted to feel what it was like holding his son. And coincidentally, it was the best just as he knew it to be. Luca stroked Raymond's hair softly. “It is definitely not you, kiddo. Um, won't they start looking for you?” It just occurred to Luca that the entire moment, there was no one watching after Raymond. “I snuck out while Mommy was sleeping. She is really exhausted and I am bored too. I didn't want to wake her up so I went out.&rdqu

Avery was done packing up her clothes into the small convenience bag Cristina had dropped by yesterday. She was all ready to leave this hospital; one thing or the other, it brutally reminded her of her younger sister's cold death. “One more thing…” She bounced back on the bed, laughing at the sizzling feeling she got from bouncing on fluffy beds. She got off, rolling her into a bun and went into the showers. “Avery?” A voice called out to her as the door creaked open. Alnos came in, his hands tucked into his pocket. “Raymond is at school, Ria was discharged yesterday and currently with Cristina. It remains only you.” As he kept on blabbing, he had a seat drawn out for him to rest. Since yesterday, he has been on his feet with worry, trying his very best to make the hospital Avery's comfort place not after that tragic event. “You showering?” &ldqu

Terry slumped back into the beanbag after she was tired of convincing Avery to take her love life seriously. She was almost thirty this upcoming year, literally too old for any young bachelor to be after. “Drop this off at the finance department, tell them to have some of this errors corrected. And one more thing, I'm not old. I am young and I can still attract men myself!”  Terry held herself from laughing and could only nod her head hysterically at Avery's statement. “Alright, Miss Emma, I will not disturb you and your love life. Besides, I am only your PA, what do I know?” She chuckled, packed the files into her right arm and departed from the office. The door clicked shut and only then did Avery let out a pathetic sigh. Straightening herself out of the chair, she walked over to the six feet porcelain French window behind her desk. She crouched over, her hands nervously playing with each o
