Divorce Anxiety

Chapter 314 Still Alive

Gizem finished changing and stepped out of the office.

She headed to the ward to check on Desi.

The girl would be staying in the hospital that night, so Gizem herself would have to work overtime.

When she arrived at the ward, Wynnie and Eil were not there anymore, likely having headed home.

Samuel was the only one accompanying Desi.

The man was truly a loving father.

The love he had for Desi was very genuine.

“Daddy, I want ice cream,” Desi begged coyly.

“Some other time. We’ll have to wait till you get better.” Samuel caressed her cheek.

The little girl looked a lot like Kathleen, especially her pair of eyes.

Samuel’s heart would often throb in pain when he looked at Desi.

If it hadn’t been for him, perhaps Eil and Desi wouldn’t have lost their mother’s love.

He owed his two children far too much.

“But I really want to have some,” Desi pleaded.

“Little glutton.” Samuel chuckled dotingly. “Tomorrow, then. The convenience store downstairs is closed now.”

The girl pouted. “I don’t believe that you can’t even get me some ice cream, Daddy. You are Samuel Macari, aren’t you?”

Samuel couldn’t refute that.

Meanwhile, Gizem found it rather hilarious.

Samuel heard her chuckle and turned around to throw her a sharp sideways glance.

For a moment, Gizem froze. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I came to refill her IV drip.”

True to her word, she was carrying a bag of IV drip.

Samuel nodded.

Gizem walked over to Desi and replaced the nearly empty bag with the new one.

“Ms. Zabinski, can I have some ice cream?” Desi tugged on Gizem’s white coat.

“Yes, you can.” Gizem’s red lips curved upward. “If you intend to revisit the emergency room tonight, you can do that.”

Hearing that, Desi pouted again. “No way! I don’t want ice cream anymore!”

Gizem smiled faintly. As expected, children are so predictable.
