Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 134

As the police vans disappeared from our sight, I was back to my own life's dilemmas and asked Henry,

"Let's go to the hospital, brother. Zoe must be sad!"

My son's desolate state pounded my heart against my rib cage, he was the one who lost the affection of his parents in one jerk. He was just a child, missing his family, so it was now my duty to make him feel at home.

Henry drove me to the city hospital, and we found Bright in the lobby. He was still holding Zoe in his arms. He informed us,

"Leo is in I.C.U, the doctors haven't reported anything yet."

It was fortunate that Bright bought some candy for Zoe, he was busy enjoying his strawberry flavored gummies. Seeing him relaxed, a wave of tranquility washed over me, I patted his head.

"It looks like you are having a good time with Bright Uncle, Zoe."

Zoe's cute face melted my heart as he offered me a piece of candy.

"Uncle Bright says that dad will be hurt to know that I am sad. So, I will be a good boy and follow his words to lessen his pain."

We didn't have to wait much longer, and the doctor came out of the I.C.U. He had good news for us.

"Mr. Leo is doing great. All thanks to your efforts, he was rescued on time, so he only had minor burns and injuries. We are shifting him to a room ..."

"When can I meet dad?" Zoe questioned, interrupting the doctor's statement, he smiled at his impatience,

"Just ten more minutes, Zoe. You can see Mr. Leo in his private room."

It was assuring that Leo didn't suffer any major injury, he would be fine to ease my son's worry. Although Zoe behaved bravely and followed us in our car's trunk, he was a kid, the abduction of his dad must have taken a toll on him. I took a mental note to discuss his feelings later. But now, we went to see Leo.

Attached to the heart monitor and IVs, Leo was slowly regaining consciousness when we all walked into his room. He didn't have a place to hide his face this time. Firstly, Zoe approached him, speaking tearfully.

"I prayed for your health, dad. The doctor uncle says you will recover soon."

Leo sighed and familiarized himself with the surroundings, he only reacted to notice me in the room. He was about to disregard Zoe again when I glared hard at him, screaming inwardly.

"You are a victim of drug abuse, not fit to be around kids, Leo. Please make an effective plan for the treatment."

Leo's jaw slacked as he widened his droopy eyes, rejecting my claim.

"I am not an addict. It's just that ..."

Really, Leo?

Were we still doing this?

I said, shrugging my eyes, "Leo, there's no need to lie. We have investigated everything."

He listened to our efforts intently, the sudden shine in his swollen eyes until the end felt reassuring for the first time.

"It feels good to hear that at least, you care for me as the father of our kids, Laura."
