Chapter 357: A Dance.
The women in the ward chatted with so much joy and giggles as they packed their stuff to leave the hospital with.
Mr. Stephen left a minute ago. He came to visit but kept it short for his wife’s sake and Arissa would say that there wasn’t a more beautiful sight that would amount to the happy view she sees whenever Adele bonds with her father.
Mr. Stephen doesn’t leave her out of it and she is happy about their smooth progress but she can’t help to sometimes wish she also had a father like him - like her own personal father. Unfortunately, the man whose blood runs through her veins is nothing but a greedy asshoe.
Mr. Stephen would pass as every child’s dream father. He cared so much about Adele’s life and asked questions about her down to her prom parties and high school challenges. Her parents never cared about these things.
Jocelyn was more of the chatterbox among them. She kept on giving hints of great weddings as if she would be the wedding planner herself and while they chatted about how they wanted her marriage to go, Arissa was lost in her world.
She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and continued thinking of how life would have been with her if things hadn’t turned out this way. Perhaps, if she hadn’t met Nicklaus and if Collins had proposed earlier.
A knock came on the door and Jocelyn went to get it. She opened the door wide when she saw who it was and Collins walked into the ward.
Jocelyn released a deep breath and flashed him her most enchanting smile as he walked in. Arissa turned to them and also gave him a welcoming smile.
Collins nodded to their smiles and walked in further. His feet took steps towards Arissa in all concentration and when he got to where she stood, he took both hands in his and stared down at her ring.
