It seemed that after the incident, all of Carla's worries had dissipated. At that moment,
she only wanted to hug him tightly and kiss him. It was as if the world was coming to an end
and she wanted to cherish every single last moment she had.
Carla's kiss was so passionate that it had consumed Zayn entirely. Soon after, he
couldn't hold himself back anymore as he leaned over her and returned her kiss fiercely.
That morning, their souls were entwined by the passion they shared for one another.
Naya was standing outside the ward. Just when she was about to knock on the door, she
unintentionally caught a glimpse of the both of them. She backed away instantaneously and
signaled the other medical staff not to interrupt them.
Benard and his men were calmly guarding at the entrance. They used to become shy and
nervous whenever they saw such a scene in the past, but after some time, they were slowly
accustomed to that.
The corners of Benard's lips curled into a faint smile of relief as the worst had passed and
everything was going to be fine.
After some time, Zayn let go of Carla reluctantly. It wasn't because other people
could see them through the ward's glass window from the outside, nor was it because he
was shy. In fact, the main reason was that Carla had just returned and he was worried
about her physical condition, so he decided to stop.
As he cupped her cheeks in his hands and gently brushed her soft lips with his thumb, he
gazed into her eyes deeply and affectionately. He had so much he wanted to say to her,
however at that moment, he only uttered, "From now on, I'll never let you get hurt again."
Carla's reddened eyes were brimming with tears as she responded, "I feel that I was so
silly in the past… I should have cherished you better…"
"It's not too late." Zayn kissed her forehead.
Carla closed her eyes and hugged him tightly. After pondering for some time, she
suddenly plucked up the courage and uttered, "I have something to tell you."
"Hm? What is it?" Zayn cupped her face in his hands and their eyes met.
Carla took a deep breath and uttered slowly, "I lied to you… Actually… Those three
children are actually…"
"My flesh and blood! Am I right?" Zayn interjected instantly.
Carla was stunned as she stared at him. "How… How do you know?"
"The few days you were missing, Randy came to me for a talk." The moment Zayn
thought of him, his heart ached. "He said that to truly love someone is to never hurt them no
matter what happens. At that time, he was sitting in front of me. As I looked at him, even
though his body was small, his posture was very straight. His tiny face was calm and
composed while his eyes were filled with determination, and I couldn't help but remember
how I was when I was a child. Suddenly, there was an inexplicable feeling in my heart and
even though I wasn't sure, I felt that he could be my child. After that, he accidentally drank
some juice with kiwi in it and was then sent to the hospital because of an allergic reaction.
As I thought that there was something fishy about it, I sent his sample for a DNA test, and it
turns out that he was my flesh and blood."
Carla froze and it took her quite a while before coming back to her senses. "You, you
already knew? Then, how is Randy now?"
Zayn responded gently, "He's fine. Since he was given a shot, his allergies have cleared
up. The three children are staying at my house now and I've already prepared a new room
for them. From now on, that will be their home."
Then he kissed her on the lips while his hand pinched her chin. "It'll be your home too!"
"My home?"
Carla was utterly dumbfounded. She had never expected her life to change drastically
after experiencing a life-and-death situation. Without having to crack her brain and explain
to Zayn, he had already found out and made all the necessary arrangements. Am I
dreaming? She thought to herself.
"I should have thought of this earlier and I shouldn't have misunderstood you. The reason
you didn't dare tell me this in the beginning was because I was too violent in nature, right?
You're worried that there would be a lot of unpredictable dangers if I were to reconcile with
the children?" Zayn felt remorseful upon thinking how paranoid and violent he was in the
past.
"I'm sorry…" Carla hugged him tightly. "It was my mistake, I should have told you earlier."
