Chapter 159: [Bonus - ]Aftermath
The next day...
"Aren’t you going to work?" Heaven blinked as she chewed a piece of grape that Dominic fed her. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, feeding his wife to recovery.
"I don’t need to be in the office to do my work," he answered, guiding another grape to her lips. "They will understand that I can’t, considering my wife was hospitalized."
Heaven savored the sweet grape that had a tang of sourness. ’I know I shouldn’t feel thankful for ’getting’ stabbed, but somehow, I feel that way.’
"Hmm? Why? Are you trying to chase me away?" he humored, catching the strange expression that appeared on her face.
"What?" Heaven giggled. "Why would I chase you away when you’re serving me as if I’m a princess? Anyway, how’s Basti?"
"I called this morning, and he is alright. Axel picked him up this morning."
"Axel?" Heaven furrowed her brows. "Did he hear what happened?"
"He did. Though we chose to keep the incident private for safety measures, the family is aware of it," explained Dominic as he carefully peeled a grape. "Mom and Dad were worried sick, but they were still out of the country."
"They extended their vacation?"
"Mm. They did because I told them it’s better if they should enjoy their time." Dominic snapped his eyes up, holding the half-peeled grape hovering over the plate. "They wanted to go back as soon as they heard the news, but it’s better if they don’t. I’m afraid they will overwhelm you."
