Replacement Love (El Fuego Series 1) (ENGLISH VERSION)의 모든 챕터: 챕터 121 - 챕터 130

ALLY’S POV The two nurses in front of me couldn’t speak immediately, which only made me even more annoyed with them. I could tell they were still quite new — they were young, and obviously not yet used to what they were supposed to do. What is this? Are they still just on-the-job trainees? Why did the hospital assign these people to take care of my son?! “I’m going to report you both to your head nurse!” I said angrily to them. I saw one of them turn pale after I said that. The door opened, and Joy came in crying, followed by a doctor. “Ma’am Alice,” she sobbed when she saw me. “Why did you leave, Joy? Why did you leave my child here all alone with those clueless nurses?!” I snapped at her. “I’m so sorry, Ma’am Alice… My Mama called and said something happened to Papa. Leo was crying so loud and hard… so I stepped out for just a moment. I’m really sorry, Ma’am,” she cried. Joy is still young. She stopped school early because of her family’s poverty. And since their house is qu

LEON’S POV “Who are you, Sir?” An unfamiliar woman opened the door. If the old lady earlier hadn’t told me this was Allys’ apartment, I would have thought I knocked on the wrong room. “I’m Leon Versius Reniel Mondragon. I’m… a friend… of Alice.” Fuck! Since when was I just a friend to Allys?! I saw her eyes light up instantly when she heard my name. “Ma’am Alice never mentioned she had a visitor coming today.” So this really is Allys’ apartment. I bit my lip hard. “I didn’t tell her I was coming. I planned to surprise her,” I said calmly. She blinked a few times, looked inside, then opened the door wide. I immediately saw a tiny living room and kitchen, plus two small bedrooms on the side. The interior is so simple… so humble. “Ma’am Alice stepped out for a while, Sir. She went to the market. Please excuse the mess — I just started cleaning when you knocked. Please have a seat. Would you like coffee? Milk? Or juice?” Milk? “Water is fine,” I told her, sitting down on their

ALLY’S POV “W-why are you here?” I asked him softly. We left my apartment so we could talk properly and privately. I looked out the window of his car. We were parked by the roadside where you could see a vast stretch of rice fields. Seeing him earlier holding Leo in his arms shocked me to my core. Damn it! How did he even find where I live? Oh right… Mika gave him my address. He remained silent beside me, and I couldn’t help but feel rising panic. “If you are thinking you can take my son Leo away from me… let me tell you this right now, Leon. You will never, ever get my son! We will both die before I let you take him away from me!” I couldn’t stop myself from saying it out loud, full of anger and fear. He just stared at me for a moment, then gently held my hand. I gasped sharply at his touch. “What are you doing?!” I snapped angrily, trying to pull away. “Why so mad at me, baby?” I gasped again hearing that familiar endearment, and quickly snatched my hand back from his grip.

ALLY’S POV I explained clearly to Mika that Leon must not catch us at the apartment, because I was absolutely certain he would take my son away. Even though truth be told, Leon never actually said anything about that. I just didn’t want to have any connection with his family again — especially the Cuevas family. I was carrying Leo in my arms now, while we rode a tricycle Mika and I hired. I brought only a few sets of clothes for us so we wouldn’t have a hard time traveling. “Thank you so much for helping me, Mika,” I told her as we traveled. “Oh, it’s nothing. Besides, my aunt’s place is very close — just in the next town. But it’s perfect, because Engineer Mondragon will definitely never find you there. Once we arrive, I won’t stay long though — I’ll head right back, since I have work tomorrow,” she said, looking out at the darkening road we were traveling on. Good thing there were still tricycles parked along the road earlier. “Thank you really, so much, Mika,” I repeated. “H

ALLY’S POV I was busy sweeping the yard when suddenly a vehicle stopped right in front of Auntie Elsa’s house. I almost dropped the broom I was holding the moment I recognized that car. The driver’s door of the sleek black vehicle opened… and Leon stepped out. My heart pounded wildly in pure panic as he looked straight at me, his gaze unwavering. Damn it! How did he find out I was here?! The passenger door opened, and I frowned deeply when I saw Mika also step out from his car. They were together? What on earth is happening? Why? Why did Mika tell him I was here? “Mika?! You’re here again? And who is that with you? What is really going on?!” Auntie Elsa asked as she came out of the house, carrying Leo in her arms. Mika glanced back and forth between me and Leon, before walking quickly toward her aunt and gently but firmly guiding her back inside the house. “Alice… I’m sorry,” she stammered toward me, right before they went inside. “What is really happening, Mika?” I could st
