Chapter 343: Please Don’t Go
It was the first time Railer had lied to Daniel. He was relieved that Daniel had only sent a message instead of calling as he knew he wouldn’t have been able to hide the truth over the phone.
"I see. Okay, go get some rest. Take care of Mommy," Daniel replied.
Daniel trusted Railer, but he felt something odd about his son’s answer. With a pillow in his hand, he quietly made his way to Stephanie’s room.
Stephanie was in the middle of packing when she heard footsteps outside her door. Her heart raced in panic. She shoved her luggage under the bed and quickly lay down, pretending to be asleep.
When Daniel lay down beside her and tucked her in, he noticed the bed wasn’t warm. It didn’t feel like someone had been sleeping there for long. His chest tightened. Steph was hiding something.
"Steph, Daddy’s hurt and you know that," he murmured.
"You’ll stay by my side, right?" He asked on purpose.
Stephanie felt a heavy guilt fill her heart. If she really left, Daddy would be all alone.
What if he forgot to take his medicine? He got hurt trying to save Mommy.
That alone made her feel like it was her job to stay and take care of him.
Still, she had to see her godfather.
