Chapter 118: Chapter 118

Calvin was informed as soon as Dante admitted Barbara, the man sighed and look at his Daughter helplessly on the bed, Dante gaze didn't leave him.

She had always passed out with the mere sight of that creature, I was surprised that she passed out after the creature had come in contact with her skin, she hate the sight of that creature, since her mother always lock her in a room filled with...

Calvin stop himself, then hissed badly, he felt like a failed father, he can't do anything for his lovely innocent child.

You can leave, I will take it up from here, I will just cancel all my appointments. Dante could see that his assistant keep calling him, he must have alot of things to do but he is struggling with his appointment and staying beside his child..

Don't worry, you can go attend to all your meeting, I will just stay here and wait and the doctor said, she will not be up in the next four hours. Calvin look at him, he nodded to him.

Thanks! I will return before you know it. Calvin bid Dante goodbye then leave, Kathleen and Jayden rushed in, Sally had informed Jayden about the situation and Jayden in turn information Kathleen.

Bro; what happened? How did cockroaches get into the conference room?

Jayden asked, Dante run his hand on his head, he really have no answer for that, then he pick his phone, Kathleen look at him, she is beside Barbara, running her hand tenderly on her friend's hand

Hey big bro!

You should get the fumigating agency, I need everywhere fumigated and I need more insecticide, in different brand, you should make the order right now, maybe a thousand or more...

Why does he need the insecticide when the fumigating agency will be there? Kathleen asked Jayden, he burst in laughter, Dante turned his gaze back to Jayden, the young man stop laughing.

That reminds me, I want the envelope back carrying the background check on Barbara.

What? Kathleen yelled, she knows that her friend is adopted but she doesn't know anything about the details of her biological parents.

Not to worry, I already know she was adopted when we first met, so I had a background check on her, I only find out that, her mother was abusive and she killed her grandmother when she was trying to defend Barbara, she is serving jail tense, she was supposed to be on parole two years back but I waive it, I couldn't go further in reading the details, but now, I think I need to, I need to know every details about her, so I could protect her, sorry if it sound offensive. Dante apologize sincerely, she sighed then nodded, there is nothing she could do about it, Dante had already gotten the information, he will not have been able to get it, if not for his uncle that is in government office under investigation unit, Calvin had made all evidence hidden very well.

Please trust me on this, I am not going to hurt her.

Dante added, seeing the worried look on Kathleen's face, the two are friends, he understands if she is looking out for the safety of Barbara.

Fine, when did the doctor say, she is going to wake up?

Four hours from now, I am sure, she must be really hungry when she wakes up. Dante added, Jayden watch him as he look at Barbara in frustration on the bed.

Stop worrying about her, she will be fine. Dante move his gaze to Kathleen, seeing their mocking eyes, he clear his throat.

Ahem! Are you not busy?

No we are not, we just stay here. The two said at same time, Dante give Jayden a killer look, he smiled.

Come on Kathleen, let's grabbed a quick bite, before she wakes up and probably get the files of Barbara.

Why? I want to be here, when she wakes up, I know she must be really scared now.

Come on, you don't want to sit and watch her like an image.

Stop talking nonsense, fine let's go. Kathleen and Jayden move towards the door, Jayden wink at Dante, For the first time, Jayden is been understanding.

****

Meanwhile, Dante had already gotten the files having all the trauma that Barbara had gone through in the hands of the monster, she called a mother, those files weren't destroyed, they were part of the basics of her sentences.

Her trauma was very intense and serious, reading that she was fed drugs, hard drugs at that tender age, his tears fall then move his gaze back to Barbara, then the photo of the little girl, she was just two, how could a mother be so heartless towards a child that doesn't know anything, no wonder, she had no idea of her dark past.

He clenched his fist, he felt like going back and just ending Camille Kyle life instead of waiving her parole, he unconsciously held Barbara's hand. He look at Barbara's face, she is beautiful even with all the pain and her swollen face as a result of her sobbing for long.

"I am sorry, I will protect you more now, I will never let anyone hurt you again, I promise" he place her hand on his lips and kiss it.

"From now on, you are my first priority, even if you push me away, I will always come back because you are the woman, I want to spend the rest of my life with"

In few minutes, Dante fall asleep beside her, with his hand holding her tight like she is going to run away, Barbara open her eyes at exactly three hours, she was up before the time, the doctor told them, she look at Dante who is sleeping beside her.

Hm! Seeing his face closed to her, made her feel secure, she felt save, she smiled then pushed his hair back Abit to expose his face, then she try to move her other hand but notice Dante grip on her. This loony, why is he holding my hand?

At that time, Dante also move and open his eyes.

How are you feeling now?

Barbara face crumpled she look at her hand in Dante's hand, he free her hand very fast, Barbara laughed inwardly, seeing that Dante is scared of her reaction.

I am sorry, I was just worried and...

Worried and you are sleeping? He run his hand on his neck in frustration, how could this girl keep playing with him. I don't seem to understand your own definition of worried

Sorry, I was just a bit tired.

Then go home instead of sleeping here, like some homeless beggar.

Why are you so ungrateful? Dante is no longer able to control his anger, Barbara kind of enjoy his facial expressions when he is mad but trying to act normal, she looks at him without expression, he sighed. Sorry, I didn't mean to stress you. He apologized, Barbara almost burst In laughter but compose herself, she is really good at acting.

It's okay, did you bring me here? He nodded then grabbed her hand again, her heart flutter, she pinned her lips together, what is wrong with this stupid heart of hers, can't it just behave for once. Thank you! She said, Dante blushed, she look at him.

What is wrong with this mania? Is he blushing? Dante free her hand in embarrassment, hearing her words. I will...

Do you want to leave me here?

Uh!

Why is he acting weird? She whispered to herself, Dante shakes his head.

Ahem! Don't you need water, food; soft drink; anything. Barbara look at him.

Are you alright? Why are you acting like a teenager standing in front of his crush?

Uh! His eyes bulge out, Barbara smiled inwardly, she is about to say something else when Gordon and Jeffrey run in.
