Chapter 88: Chapter 88

The scumbag escaped, I wonder how he realizes that the Military is coming for him, I have told the field marshall to hurt him down, he is never going to get away from this.

Dad, you should relax, I am sure they will get him. Emily tries to calm her husband.

Back at the prison, Xander got the news that his father is the real culprit and that, he is free to go home the arrest of his father had been authorized but his father had gone into hiding, Max also informed him that Jessica is unwell and is now at the hospital because she is sick, he didn't make the mistake of telling him that Jessica is pregnant for him.

He felt that Jessica is in the right position to tell him about their unborn baby.

Thanks, I will go on now. That was the only word Xander said, Max held his hand.

Don't you want to see Jessica?

Is it necessary? Do you think I want to be with the woman that had teamed up with my father to ruin my life?

But you love her. Xander looks at Max.

No, maybe then but right now, all I felt for her is hatred and anger, I only want one thing, which is the forgiveness of your sisters, tell Leah, I am sorry, sorry that I made her suffer for long, I am sorry for the pain I cause her, my actions had separated her from you and tell Alexia... he paused, he had offended her too much that he felt words aren't good enough to Apologize for his actions

What are you going to do now that you are free?

Start a new life, forget about my pain, and forget all about father and all the pains that he had caused your family, I wish I could turn back the hand of time, maybe, if I wasn't a puppet of my father, then things would have been different. Xander heaved a deep sigh. thanks for letting me out. He said then turned around got into his car, he drove off, Max understand the man, if he was in Xander's shoe, he too will do the same, loving two people that don't love him, and protecting the very ones that wouldn't bat before pushing him into the hands of those who will hurt him.

Poor Xander, the young man, had always done everything his father wanted him to do, a good son of a bad father.

The sun had gone down when he arrived at the hospital, he make his way to Jessica's room, the young woman had finally woken up, she is surprised to see the person that walk through the door of the ward, she stand very fast.

How are you? Jessica couldn't bring herself to reply to him, he walked to her. You shouldn't be sulking, your baby needs all the energy that your body could give it.

Why are you helping me?

You are my family, my only cousin's sibling for a long time.

I don't deserve any kindness from your family.

If you think you don't deserve the kindness we are offering you, then work to earn it

what can I possibly do to earn it. Her tears drop. I am sorry!!! Jessica said

Are you really sorry? Max asked, before she could say anything, Max's voice came up again. If you are sorry, then you should come with me.

No, I don't want to, I will constantly remind your family that I caused the death of your...

Leah is not dead, she is alive.

What?

Yes, a good Samaritan saw her and had taken care of her, and you are not the problem, Mr. Fred Is, we found the CCTV footage, and his arrest has been ordered.

What?

Yes, he is on the run now, and Xander is free now.

Really?

Yes, he is out of jail. Hearing Xander's name, make her face go sour. I didn't tell him that, you are expecting his baby, you show to try to understand him.

I didn't have the right to want things, I can't get mad at anyone if they don't want to see me, please let me go.

I thought you said you are sorry but right now, I don't think you are, and as a matter of fact just take it that we are not doing it for you but for your baby, and like you said in your diary after you put to birth, you will be punished for your misdeed and if you will not be selfish for once, you will put the welfare of your baby before yours because you and I know that your father doesn't want to see you anymore and that place you live in, you should know that it's not a good place to have a healthy child.

Jessica pinned her lips, this was the worse punishment every offender could get, being show kindness by the person that she had hurt. Is like pouring fiery coal on them.

Max know the mere sight of Leah and Alexia each passing day will be tormented for her, Jessica stared at her bump, Max is right, that place is not a good place to raise a child, it's lack so many facilities and she needs to care for her baby, as at this point, the baby is all that she has, she didn't want to ask more about Xander, she frowned as she falls her face.

Max knows that at this point, the only way Jessica will agree to come with him, is if her baby is involved, all his years as a doctor had made him understand all mothers could do anything for their children.

*****

It's exactly two weeks since Alexia and Beck separated, Beck hasn't heard from Alexia, he had tried reaching her but he can't get through to her, her numbers are switched off and Jesse hasn't been feeling well as well, he too hasn't see Leah for those weeks, the only thing he heard was that she had regained her memory.

And the last time, he try to meet with her, he wasn't allowed.

What a useless life. Jesse yelled throwing his phone away that carries the picture of Leah, he had snapped her one of those times she is sleeping, when he had arrived very late but still checked on her, even though he was avoiding her.

He grabbed his alcoholic wine and gulped it.

His door suddenly flew open, is Beck, his face was far from anything pleasant, he had been mad since Jesse told him that, the prime minister had to lock Alexia up and today, he had gone to the villa of the prime minister but he didn't see Alexia, even though he wasn't restricted, he still didn't get to meet his love.

Hey you, don't you know how to knock at someone else apartment? Jesse fired at Beck, and he ignore him and grabbed the other bottle, although it was prohibited for a soldier to drink during his duties, this two didn't mind.

Oh please, I don't have time for your bantering. He gulped the wine.

Don't you know drinking on duty is an offense? Beck glared at Jesse, the man wanted to laugh but the doorbell jungle.

Who could that be?

Don't ask me, go get your door. Jesse moves slowly to the door, he opens the door to reveal who is at the door
