Chapter 49

VANESSA'S POV:

My heart instantly shattered as I stared at his deep brown eyes...

"V-Vanessa... My love" that was the only words that he uttered before he fell but I caught his muscular body with a thin one. I'm not strong enough to balance my body, so I fell to the floor.

"Joaquin? Wake up... Honey, please" I cried out quietly as I sat on the ground with him in legs and arms.

"Miss... Mr. Daniel needs to be quick" one of the nurses said panicking as I nodded my head and held back my cries... Oh my man.

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_

I'm in a private room right now and of course I'm the one watching over my wife, they also know Bryan that Joaquin is here. I stared at his handsome face, he became more handsome...

The doctor also said that he saw many old bullet scars on Joaquin's body... But I didn't see it when I was still by his side, his skin is clean. No tattoos, no scars.

"Joaquin... Honey, I'm here. I missed you so much..." I cried out as I laid my head down on the edge of the bed.

BRYAN'S POV:

"Ash... Come on" I called out my son as I helped Sapphire up from her bed. We were going to visit Dad, mom said she saw him at the entrance of the hospital with a bloody figure.

"Mm" Ash said as he followed us out. Dad is in room 703 and it's close to Saph's room.

"You're Dad - - is a great man" Sapphire's soft voice suddenly said as I stared at her... She looks so beautiful, then and now.

"I know, baby" I whispered as I opened the room 703 and saw Mom inside, sleeping.

I noticed Ash's immediate approach to Dad's bed. Ash frowned as he looked at him.

"Uncle?" Ash said as I frowned too, who's he calling 'uncle'??

"Do you... know him?" I asked gently as he nodded.

"I always see him every time Yaya goes for a walk" I looked at Saph.

"Sometimes he's holding a broom while cleaning leaves at the park, sometimes he's holding shopping bags in a mall, sometimes he's a taxi driver" Ash explained.

"Sorry, my boy..." A weak manly voice was heard after Ash spoke.

"Dad..." He smiled at me as he caressed my mother's head as she slept.

"I always follow your son to guard him... He's a trouble sometimes even though he's a smart kid" he chuckled softly.

"I was so sad the day that you told me not to come close to my grandson... That's why I always disguise myself just so I can get close to him..."
