STAY

The doctor who handled the surgery came out of there. Everyone including Troy approached the doctor.

"How are my wife and children doing? Tell them they're all safe!" Sean urged the doctor.

"As everyone hoped, Mark and Shine survived. So did Boss Rose and the baby," said the doctor.

"In this critical situation, we did not have time to ask the family's approval to operate on the baby in Boss Rose's womb, because Boss Rose's condition is very weak, and thankfully, the baby girl was born healthy and safe without any flaws!" as soon as they heard a further explanation from the doctor, everyone's worried faces gradually faded into happy smiles.

"What did you say? My baby? My daughter has been born?" Sean urged and when the doctor nodded his head and smiled briefly, Sean said gratefully while hugging Sunny, "Oh my God, thank you for saving my daughter! Sunny, your sister has been born, son!"

Sunny was still not completely happy even though Troy smiled while congratulating his brother and Sunny.

"Congratulations, Bro! Your daughter has been born! You too, Sunny. Be a great big brother to your sister, huh!"

"But... how about my mommy? Is mommy okay?" Sunny asked in a low voice.

Everyone was awakened from happiness for a moment when Sunny threw such a question followed by the doctor's complicated expression.

"Boss Rose has indeed survived the critical period, but it seems her body hasn't shown any response to getting up at all. Her condition is very weak. For that I need Samuel to discuss Boss Rose's current condition!" the doctor explained.

Sean looks shocked for a moment. Sunny who was originally carried by him, was immediately lowered to immediately pull the collar of the doctor's clothes in front of him.

"Are you crazy, huh?! Why did you leave my wife like that?! I won't forgive you if something bad happens to my Alice! Hurry up and wake my wife!!!"

Sean loses control until Troy and a man named Thunder help to calm Sean to release the doctor from his grip.

"Sean, calm down! What are you doing right now, huh?!" Thunder interrupted Sean's attitude.

"You're the one who's crazy, Bro! Stay healthy! This doctor has saved everything!" snapped Troy harshly.

Hearing the condition of his wife who was still unconscious like that made Sean devastated. The thought of losing the figure of his beloved wife kept replaying in his mind. He can not think clearly with high emotions and sadness.

Sean sat resignedly on the hospital floor. He lowered his head and wept. He was so afraid of losing his beloved wife.

Troy embraced his brother's forgave support.

"Bro, be strong. Soon, Samuel will come and help the doctor heal Alice. Would you be this devastated to welcome your baby while Alice was still asleep? Remember, now your responsibilities have increased again. Apart from Sunny and Shine, you must stay strong for your daughter, Bro!" Troy slowly advised his brother so that his mind would not continue to go downhill.

'Today's Breaking News... We are currently outside the gates of the xxx hospital area which looks weird today! It is said to be strange not without reason. The hospital area is currently being closely guarded by hundreds of people dressed in all black who is seen on guards. What's wrong? Who knows?'

'Because hospital visitors who have a need there have to pass very strict inspections from the people who are guarding around the hospital area!'

'What will our coverage be like? Let's try to find out by getting closer to one of the people who are guarding there!'

From the dining table where Cheery and his family are currently eating, the live broadcast on television makes the originally quiet meal turn into silence.

'It's the hospital where the boss's family is treated. How are they? I'm worried but it's impossible to ask right now is it?' Cheery thought, confused.

In between the confusion that hit her at this time, the old man's voice that had not been heard at all now sounded asking Cheery.

"I'm sorry, but can I just stay here for a few days? I'm not used to this country or this city yet," said the man.

Cheery who listened to his question to her, immediately stopped her dinner movement.

"I apologize to you too. For what reason should I allow you to stay at my house, sir? Even though you're my mother's old friend but that doesn't count if you're not a stranger in this house and I'm the head of the family in this house, so I'll make sure my mother and son are safe from outsiders' disturbance!"

"This sounds harsh but if you look at it from the point of view of kindness, then you will understand that I only want to protect my family!" Cheery broadly replied.

The old man did not show a gloomy smile but a faint smile with a million questions made up in Cheery's mind.

'Why is he even smiling? Why not be angry or sad? Weird old man... Who exactly is this person?' Cheery wondered.

"Cheery, you can't be like that, dear. Trust me, he is my friend, and he's a good person! Please let him stay here for a few days, Cheery!" persuaded the mother.

"That's your assumption. You know this person but I don't, Mama! After all, since when did you know a man even though you are the same as me. Mama always distanced herself from men!" Cheery, whose mind is full of many things, pours out to her mother due to the request of an old man who she has never known or met.

"Can Mama and Grandma not have an opinion at the dinner table? Who taught me about table manners? Aren't you ashamed to argue in front of a child like me?" This time Keanu chirps until the two adult women who raised him are silent.

Keanu was seen getting up from his seat and carrying his dinner plate. Before walking, Keanu turned to the old geezer who was the cause of the dinner commotion.

"Grandpa, lift your plate and we eat together while watching television! The debate between the two women would not end if one of them didn't cry! Come on, Grandpa!" Keanu invited the old man without further ado and continued his steps to the lounge in front of the television.

Meanwhile, Cheery and Mrs. Lisa were surprised to see Keanu's attitude which could be more relaxed in accepting the presence of guests in their house.

The old man looked doubtful, but a second later he smiled as he carried his dinner plate following in Keanu's footsteps. The man left two women who didn't seem finished arguing there.

"See Keanu? He's even more relaxed with new people. Trust me, Cheery. He's a good person who won't hurt us or do anything bad to us!" Mrs. Lisa reassured her daughter.

Cheery was silent and had not responded to her mother's request, which was like a baby whining at her.

"Why are you so sure and keep trying to convince me to accept that person? Do you have a special relationship with him? Or... Or that person is..."

"Cheery!!!" snapped Mrs. Lisa at once, and his voice also reached the ears of Keanu and the old man next to him.

"Did you hear, Grandpa? If my grandma has made a sound while yelling at my mom, that's a sign that they're discussing who my real grandpa is."

"I also don't understand why they can fight to this point just because you asked for permission to stay at our house,"

"Is it true that your relationship with my grandmother is so close, that my grandmother is so hard to defend you?"

"Oops, sorry! I forgot that I'm not allowed to find out more about other people! Please just ignore my question earlier. Let's continue our meal!"

Hearing the words of Keanu who was wise beyond his age, the old man smiled while rubbing Keanu's head.

"Yeah, let's finish our food!" said the old man to Keanu.

"Mmm… Grandpa, do you know why so many people surround the hospital? My friend's family was there, maybe they were looking after Aunt Alice and Brother Shine there. How are they now?"

Keanu mumbled languidly as he watched the surroundings of the hospital being covered by the news media on television.

"Are they good people to you, son?"

Keanu innocently nodded weakly in answer to the question.

"They're nice people and it's the first time I've been so comfortable with strangers. Just like now when I'm with you, Grandpa!"

Keanu muttered to himself in a low voice and without using English so that the old man next to him wouldn't understand what he was muttering.

Without Keanu knowing, the man smiled complicatedly and thought to himself when he heard Keanu's murmur.

'I'm sorry, son. The recklessness I have put them in trouble and made you so gloomy. It's all the fault of me who wants to protect you from those people who are the mafia,' the old man also muttered from deep in his heart.

Who is the old foreign man who is now at Cheery's house? Is his relationship with Mrs. Lisa as simple and only as an old friend of Mrs. Lisa?
