Chapter 497: Chapter 497
Daniel’s father angrily said, "Why do you keep mentioning her! If it weren’t for her, would you have been so badly hurt this time? According to the medical personnel at the scene, during the explosion, you shielded her with your body. Are you willing to give up your life for her?"
"This life of mine, she gave it to me in the first place, so what if I return it to her? How is Mabel Quinn now?"
Daniel’s father was trembling with anger, but seeing his son , he didn’t know how to vent his rage.
Daniel Harris simply yanked off the blanket, preparing to pull out the needle on the back of his hand administering the IV, intending to get out of bed and look for Mabel Quinn. His mother swiftly held him down and said, "Mabel is fine, really nothing serious, just a few scratches at most. While you were having surgery in the emergency room, she was waiting outside, I saw it with my own eyes, she’s really okay. My child, stop torturing yourself. Do you really want to see your mother cry her eyes out before you’re satisfied? Can’t you think of your mom and dad?" Thıs text ıs hosted at ɴovelfire.net
Daniel fell silent and no longer insisted on getting out of bed, laying back down.
His mother breathed a sigh of relief, "Why... Why do you do this to yourself? Even if Mabel did you a favor when you were kids, so many years have passed, and besides... She’s already with Mr. Kinston now, and as it stands, your eyes are..."
"Mom," Daniel interrupted, "I did it all willingly."
That one word, "willingly," choked his mother up again, leaving her at a loss for words.
Daniel’s father glared at his son, yet eventually, it turned into a sigh. All along, he had regretted letting down his eldest son. Years ago, if he hadn’t cheated, causing his pregnant wife to leave home, the child wouldn’t have been born with an eye condition and would have received timely treatment. Consequently, his son wouldn’t have lived sixteen years blind!
If he hadn’t cheated back then, how would his wife have left home, and how would his son be risking his life for a woman willingly?
In the end, the real instigator was him!
Mabel Quinn woke up around 8 in the morning. Kyle Kinston suggested she sleep a bit more, but she shook her head and asked, "Why are you up so early? You only came back at 4 in the morning yesterday, and you haven’t slept prior."
"Not tired," he said. "Back when I was on missions, going days and nights without sleep was common, I’m used to it. Besides, I just slept for a few hours."
Mabel knew that Kyle said this to be considerate of her since she was going to the hospital to see Daniel Harris.
After freshening up and having breakfast, Mabel Quinn and Kyle Kinston headed to the hospital.
The closer they got to the hospital, the more anxious Mabel felt, unsure if Daniel had woken up and fearing any bad news.
Suddenly, a hand grasped hers, and Kyle’s voice sounded, "Why are your hands so cold?"
The air conditioning was still on in the car at the moment.
Cold? She didn’t feel anything until he held her hand, and she realized it was indeed cold, markedly different from the warmth of his hand.
He turned slightly, enclosing her hands with his, gently rubbing them together, quickly warming them up.
"Worried about Daniel’s condition?" he asked, those phoenix eyes seemingly seeing through everything.
