When Fate Decided to Play its Part

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE:

Unfounded...?

--

Tyler panicked when he realized that Kai was not with them, he scolded Sharon for being neglectful, he almost called the cops and his mother's private soldiers when the kid appeared next to them.

He was glad and mad at the same time, seeing the kid was okay and unscathed, he angrily rubbed his small head and abandoned the idea of calling higher authorities.

He asked Kai where he has been, but the kid told them nothing and just smiled at them. Seeing that he wasn't willing to tell them the truth, he did not press any further, although he was very curious.

After scolding him for a few times, he finally calmed his raging heart. And then, they stopped a little bit in a supermarket to buy fruits for Althea and headed directly to the hospital.

.

The first thing Tyler saw when he opened the room's door- with the basket of fruits in one hand and the other is holding Kai's hand- was Althea sitting on her bed.

His heart jumped and his eyes can't help but widen a bit. He immediately did a quick survey on her body but found nothing abnormal except that she looks sickly. That was then he can finally sigh in relief.

Before he can even enter the room, the small hand that was tightly clinging on his hand loosen and he saw a small figure dashing quickly in the room. He can't even stop the kid before he lunged directly at the patient.

Althea heard the door opened and she turned to see who visited her, the first thing she saw was an overly familiar figure with basket of fruits in his right hand. Their eyes met briefly before she focused her attention to her son.

The kid hugged her waist tightly that she can feel her bones cracking under his strength. Her face twisted in discomfort but did not pushed her son away. Instead, she bend down slowly and carefully snaked her arms around his small body.
