Dangerous Liaison

After that, Dwayne frequently visited the Lonbertin Villa.

The person who stayed there was Mr. Stone, father of Ian and Dwayne. After falling seriously ill at the beginning of the year, he had been living there with his private medical staff.

Mr. Stone favored his eldest son, Ian. He didn't like Dwayne's obsequious character, so he was never fond of him.

One night, there was bad news from the villa. The doctor said that Mr. Stone's condition had worsened and needed immediate surgery.

Because Ian was abroad, by the time he returned to the country and went to the hospital with me, Mr. Stone had already finished his kidney transplant surgery.

Looking at Dwayne, who was in the same ward as Mr. Stone with various tubes inserted in his body, I suddenly understood why I hadn't seen him these days.

A week later, Mr. Stone recovered well, but Dwayne still looked very weak. He was very moved by the fatherly love that Mr. Stone had shown to him as he lay on the hospital bed.
