Chapter 727: Life or death, I’ll be with her (3)
The night before New Year’s Eve, Allyce had not woken up.
Neto and Lucila each went home for New Year’s Eve.
Xabat and Dita are busy with the company and Kimdis, and do not come to the hospital very often.
Allyce is in hospital, not waking up, and this New Year’s Eve has not been a good one for many people.
Xabat had a busy night and when he arrived at the hospital the next morning, he brought Alonzo with him.
During all this time, they took turns visiting Alonzo, and Severo did not return even once.
Even the change of clothes was brought by the family maid.
Alonzo had not been allowed to come earlier because Allyce was unwell and his face was bruised and he was afraid of scaring Alonzo.
Luckily for Allyce, the wound on her face was not deep, only superficial, and almost a month later, it had almost healed.
Alonzo just nodded politely when Xabat came to pick him up and told him he was taking him to see his mum and dad.
That kind look, so understanding, made Xabat, a big man, ache to see him.
When we arrived at the hospital, Xabat took him to the door of the ward: “Come in, mum and dad are inside”.
With those words, he opened the door of the room for Alonzo.
Allyce was lying quietly in a hospital bed, with an oxygen mask and several tubes connected to instruments, a somewhat terrifying sight for a small child.
And Alonzo hesitated for a few seconds before entering.
His body is small but his steps are sure.
He walked over to the bed and stood on his tiptoes so he could barely see Allyce’s face, but he couldn’t see her very well.
He couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Xabat.
Xabat nodded to him, and as if he understood his nod, Alonzo walked around to the other side and climbed onto the bed, using one of the stools next to it to sit on, staring at Allyce for a while before calling out as if he finally recognised her: “Mama.
From the moment Alonzo walked through the door, Severo didn’t even look at him.
Xabat stared in disbelief.
If it weren’t for the fact that Alonzo’s little face looks like it was carved from Severo’s, I would have suspected that Alonzo might not be Severo’s biological son.
How else could it be so cold?
When Alonzo saw that Allyce was ignoring him, he looked at Severo with a hint of confusion in his dark eyes: “Dad?
Why is Mom ignoring him?
He called a couple more times, but Allyce didn’t answer, so his little boy…. Her mouth dropped open and she couldn’t stop crying.
“Oooh … mum …”
The little human was crying her eyes out, but, as if shocked by Severo’s cold stare, there was still a sound hidden in her tearful voice.
It was then that Severo finally reacted, looking at Alonzo and averting his gaze as if he hadn’t seen him.
Why do you have to look like him? How nice it would be to look like Allyce.
Xabat stood in the doorway, watching Alonzo cry with a red nose and red eyes while Severo wouldn’t even look at him, and his face couldn’t help but look serious.
He thought about Marco’s earlier words.
Victorino had just approached to see Allyce and, upon seeing this, simply frowned before lifting his feet and entering.
He grabbed Alonzo in an embrace: “Alonzo, do you remember me?
Alonzo’s sobs subsided and he looked at him suspiciously.
“I am the Greek Uncle”.
Victorino touched Alonzo’s face, without being too rough, the boy’s skin was very soft and tender.
Then he placed Alonzo in Severo’s arms: “He is your son with your wife, and if he wakes up and sees that you have not taken care of him, he will be angry and sad.
What doctors do best is to treat the symptoms.
His words caught Severo’s attention.
Severo finally glanced at him before looking away from Alonzo.
The little meatball in her arms was crying with a red nose and red eyes, fragile and pitiful in a way that bore a slight resemblance to Allyce.
He couldn’t help but feel a softening in his heart.
Allyce loves Alonzo very much and would be angry with him if he woke up and found out that she had not taken care of him.
Severo went over to embrace him and sat him on his lap, reaching out with his broad palm to wipe the tears from his face.
Smooth movements.
“Have you had breakfast yet?” He asked Alonzo.
Alonzo looks at him with a look of dependence.
A nod followed.
The corners of Severo’s lips lifted imperceptibly and he reached out to stroke Alonzo’s head.
It behaves very well.
Just like when Allyce was obedient.
Victorino saw him and turned to check on Allyce.
Their situation has neither improved nor worsened.
He frowned and turned to leave, leaving time for this family of three, as it was New Year’s Eve.
Victorino went out and closed the living room door with his hand.
Xabat did not leave, his surprise still intact, and followed Victorino, saying as he passed, “What’s wrong with you, boss? Don’t you even care about Alonzo? How many fathers can be so cold to their own children?
Victorino took a deep breath and let it out slowly, rolled up his sleeves wearily and said: “The gentleman is not like the others, he is sick”.
Victorino was telling the truth, but Xabat was confused: “Eh?”
Victorino couldn’t bring himself to explain too much, Allyce’s condition was going back and forth and he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time, not even on New Year’s Eve, when he couldn’t rest and had to study Allyce’s condition.
…
By midday it was snowing in the sky again.
It was the last day of the lunar year, and it was the second snowfall of the year.
Severo stood at the window, watching the snowflakes falling, before it dawned on him that it had been over a month since Allyce’s accident. It had been more than a month since he had left the hospital.
He turned to the hospital bed, where Alonzo was leaning on Allyce, sleeping peacefully.
Perhaps because the room was too warm, Alonzo’s hand came out from under the sheets.
Severo looked at him for a few seconds, reached over, took Alonzo’s soft arm and tucked him under the covers, but unexpectedly, Alonzo suddenly woke up.
Severo met Alonzo’s pure, trusting eyes with a softness in his heart, and when he reacted, he had already asked, “Are you hungry?”
Alonzo blinked, his voice soft and cuddly just after waking up: “Hungry”.
With a nod, Severo turned towards the kitchen.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
VIP lounge with everything, just like at home.
He had not taken more than a few steps when he turned his head to look at Alonzo again.
Alonzo had sat up and leaned over to give Allyce a kiss on the cheek before leaning down to whisper something in her ear, with a serious look on his face, as if he was saying something big and important, or sharing a secret.
The boy, like him, loved Allyce.
This child, his and Allyce’s son.
Beloved son of Allyce.
In the middle of the day, he said: “Keep an eye on mummy, I’m going to cook you dinner.
