Chapter 33
Hunterâs heart stopped beating. He was expressionless, thus no one can understand what was happening within. While in reality, he felt like he would never be able to breathe normally a
On the outside. Andrea and Scott saw a man unsympathetically looking at his exâwife. They saw no remorse, no pain, no affliction for losing his child, talk less of feeling anything for her.
âMacIntyre, I will kill you!â A sudden rush of anger lit Scottâs eyes
He left Claireâs hand and rose to his feet. He curled his fingers, all set to effuse his anger on this man who was also behind Claireâs current condition
Scott was about to jump on him and rip his face when his father and a cluster of doctors and nurses walked in.
Dominic came between his Exâsonâinâlaw and son. His hands automatically went on both their chests, keeping them apart.
âWhat is going on here? Havenât we strictly said that only one relative will be inside the ward with the patient? She merely survived a close call with death.â
âPlease vacate the room at once!â
A doctor with a long white beard and moustache scowled in a stern voice.
The young doctor who had come to treat Claireâs hand has also rushed in. He looked displeased with Hunterâs presence in
the room.
âPlease move out. The patientâs mental condition is very delicate. She will freak out and fall into deeper mental predicaments if she sees this. Have mercy on her condition and move. The aged doctor pleaded as none of them was ready
to move.
The nurses and doctors retreated first. Then Andrea with Penelope who had been at the doorstep all this while.
Hunter was sculpted in his spot. Ever since he saw Claire, the desire to move- even breathe- died an agonized death.
âHunter, we had a deal. Dominic spoke to him but his eyes wonât budge, neither would his body.

assured me
âI know youâre not the man of your words, because if you were, my daughter wouldnât be here like this. But that you will not cause a ruckus and wait till Claire herself decides to meet you.â Dominic gave him a pointed look.
âLeave, Hunter. Donât make it hard for my daughter. Just get out
The words woke him up. He blinked his eyes as he finally looked away from Claire to gaze at her father.
With one last look at her, Hunter walked out without saying a word.
âI donât understand what is wrong with this man? He didnât come for her for a whole week when they were still husband and wife. What does he want to prove by coming here now after the divorce?â
âDominic, I donât want this man in this hospital. Throw him out Our daughter has seen enough because of him. Get him away from her.â
Dominic took his wifeâs arm and guided her out of the room. Homade Sure e to give a warning look to Scott as he was still glowering like there was a forest to put on fire.
Hunter was nowhere in sight when Dominic and his wife came out.

Chapter 33
âHe took the elevator Penelope informed as she noticed that her best friendâs parents were looking around.
âGood for him that he left himself. Or I was really going to call the cops on himâ Andrea folded her hands and blinker her tears away.
Dominic released a defeated sigh. His muscles ached from all the sitting heâd been doing for the last four days.
âYou canât do it even if that sounds like the best thing to do Andrea was dazed, hearing her husband
âHe dictates the police department along with other government organizations. So even if I want to hire a bunch of guards to guard Claireâs ward I canât do itâ
Dominic clutched his mane. âI will kill him if I can. Thatâs if I can only touch him.â
Then what do we do? Watch him hurt our daughter again and again. I have tolerated enough, Dominic I canât be quiet anymore. If you canât do anything. Iâll take matters into my own handsâ left Andrea 1 left eye
Gawking at her bag that was hanging on her right forearm, she spoke murderously. âI have my revolver with me. If you canât take care of then I will-

âIf heâs anything then heâs a monster. He destroyed my daughterâs life and took her child away from her Claire is inside because of him. I canât see him around her like this as if nothing happened. Dominar, you must do something about him.â Andreaâs nostrils flared angrily as she regarded her husband
âI donât want to see him here again. You know what I will do if he shows himselfâ
Dominic and Penelope watched as Andrea stomped away
She didnât fight to retrieve her bag which was a good thing. Dominic accessed her licensed gun and emptied all the bullen. He stuffed them in his pocket and put the gun back to where it was
He and Penelope shared a pained and weary look.
âDonât leave here, Penny. Scott and his mother are proving out to be a handful Watch after Scott while I take care of Andrea, I donât think thereâs anyone else who can think straight other than us twoâ Dominic said while rubbing his temple.
âClaire is my first child. I was blessed with her when I truly wanted her. Thereâs no feeling in this world that can surpass the feeling of being a father. She completed my dream of a complete family when she came to this world. His voice was packed with pain. âAndrea thinks I canât feel Claireâs pain because Iâm a father, not a mother like her. But who will tell her that every sob that expels her mouth, every time a tear leaves her eyes, every wave of tremble I see in her body chips out pieces of my
soul.â
Besides Scott, Dominic never left the hospital since Claire was brought here. He was also in the same clothes as that day and with dishevelled hair.
âI will not leave my daughter alone. I canât stop Hunter from staying here but I can fail his attempts to see her. Penny, youâre all the support I can get.â
âUnburden yourself from concern for Scott, uncle. And I understand everything you do. I know how powerful Hunter is, I support your actions. Donât worry.â Penelope hugged his arm.
âIâll be here, uncle. You must go after aunty. She needs you.â
Shaking his head in acknowledgement, Dominic faded into the shadows.
