“Trust me, the moment the accident occurred, I only saw the face of my daughter. I don’t want to leave her alone in this world, and after what Hudson did with me, I am hell worried about her.

"Nothing will happen to her; we will take care of that," Stephen confidently said. “You focus on your health first and leave the discussion for later.”

“This accident taught me a lesson again. If it’s not, it must be you all. Also, know I must have lost my life in that small town hospital without attaining proper treatment

So I don’t want to wait any longer. I trust you, Stephen. Look. They are with my daughter. I know you love her and cherish herfor all your life. So will your family. This is the only way my soul will earn some peace. “

William and his sons shared a look. They all don’t know what to reply. Michael felt their discomfort and told them

“Relax, I don’t want your answer now, but it would be better if you all could think about my suggestion; discuss it with Rose too.

I know my daughter is too naïve for the cruel world, but it is not her fault entirely, as I kept her safe from the realities of our lives, but now I do not know how long I can do this, especially after losing my leg, and of course my job too. And above these miseries, the Hudson family is eager to destroy us.”

Stephen glanced at Michael and started

“I understand your concern, and it’s right in your place, but what about Eva? To be honest, Eva doesn't like me much, and she is still scared of me. Will she give her consent to this wedding?

“She will. She is naïve, but not a fool. I agree she is a little uncomfortable around you for now, but I have full faith in you and more in your love for Eva. I could see the love and concern for Eva in your eyes, especially when you are around her. Trustme, I know how to make her agree with this. “ It surprised Stephen to know how keenly Michael observed him

William stopped this discussion

“Fine, we will discuss this tomorrow. For now, take a rest. You already did a lot.

“I am ready,Stephen voiced out his decision, which made the others shocked, whereas Michael has a smile on his face, a smile of peace

Chapter 44The points

It was afternoon time when Eva opened her eyes, and she heard some message tones continuously on her mobile, which disturbed her deep slumber. The next minute, she got scared for her dad and got a hold on her phone to read the messages.

It shocked her to notice so many missed calls on her phone some were from her friends, but the last message got her attention phone;

It was William’s message to inform her that Michael was fully conscious now and willing to see her

Eva got ready in a rush and reached the dining room with a smile on her face. She spotted Rose, who smiled at her. Eva hugged Rose in joy

Rose patted her back and passed her some sandwiches, which she could eat on her way. As she knew Eva will not stay a minute for brunch, she packed it already

Eva appreciate her thoughtfulness and care for her as always and soon they started for hospital

Eva was the first one to barge into the room. Rose was following her when William and Stephen, Steve, were present near Michael, whereas.

Michael glanced at his princess and gave a warm smile

Eva rushed near him, and William gave her space near Michael. he held his dad’s hand and sobbed hard, whereas Michael patted her head with love

“You scared me, dad; don’t do this ever again to me.“

“Sorry love, and stop crying like a baby; look at me, I am fine now."

Eva looks at his smiling face and lends a weak smile to her dad. Then she recalled about his leg and noticed his lower body, where the absence of leg was visible through the sheets

Tears brimmed in her eyes, “she was not sure that her dad had knowledge about his condition or not

Michael was observing her face and knew her unsaid thoughts momentarily

“, You alwaysto complain that why don’t I take rest, so see how God fulfilled your wish now I will only rest."

“I wanted you to rest, but not in this manner. I am so sorry, dad."
