Chapter 33
Hunter’s heart stopped beating. He was expressionless, thus no one can understand what was happening within. While in reality, he felt like he would never be able to breathe normally a
On the outside. Andrea and Scott saw a man unsympathetically looking at his ex–wife. They saw no remorse, no pain, no affliction for losing his child, talk less of feeling anything for her.
“MacIntyre, I will kill you!” A sudden rush of anger lit Scott’s eyes
He left Claire’s hand and rose to his feet. He curled his fingers, all set to effuse his anger on this man who was also behind Claire’s current condition
Scott was about to jump on him and rip his face when his father and a cluster of doctors and nurses walked in.
Dominic came between his Ex–son–in–law and son. His hands automatically went on both their chests, keeping them apart.
“What is going on here? Haven’t we strictly said that only one relative will be inside the ward with the patient? She merely survived a close call with death.”
“Please vacate the room at once!”
A doctor with a long white beard and moustache scowled in a stern voice.
The young doctor who had come to treat Claire’s hand has also rushed in. He looked displeased with Hunter’s presence in
the room.
“Please move out. The patient’s mental condition is very delicate. She will freak out and fall into deeper mental predicaments if she sees this. Have mercy on her condition and move. The aged doctor pleaded as none of them was ready
to move.
The nurses and doctors retreated first. Then Andrea with Penelope who had been at the doorstep all this while.
Hunter was sculpted in his spot. Ever since he saw Claire, the desire to move- even breathe- died an agonized death. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Hunter, we had a deal. Dominic spoke to him but his eyes won’t budge, neither would his body.

“I know you’re not the man of your words, because if you were, my daughter wouldn’t be here like this. But that you will not cause a ruckus and wait till Claire herself decides to meet you.” Dominic gave him a pointed look.
“Leave, Hunter. Don’t make it hard for my daughter. Just get out
The words woke him up. He blinked his eyes as he finally looked away from Claire to gaze at her father.
With one last look at her, Hunter walked out without saying a word.
“I don’t understand what is wrong with this man? He didn’t come for her for a whole week when they were still husband and wife. What does he want to prove by coming here now after the divorce?”
“Dominic, I don’t want this man in this hospital. Throw him out Our daughter has seen enough because of him. Get him away from her.”
Dominic took his wife’s arm and guided her out of the room. Homade Sure e to give a warning look to Scott as he was still glowering like there was a forest to put on fire.
Hunter was nowhere in sight when Dominic and his wife came out.

“He took the elevator Penelope informed as she noticed that her best friend’s parents were looking around.
“Good for him that he left himself. Or I was really going to call the cops on him” Andrea folded her hands and blinker her tears away.
Dominic released a defeated sigh. His muscles ached from all the sitting he’d been doing for the last four days.
“You can’t do it even if that sounds like the best thing to do Andrea was dazed, hearing her husband
“He dictates the police department along with other government organizations. So even if I want to hire a bunch of guards to guard Claire’s ward I can’t do it”
Dominic clutched his mane. “I will kill him if I can. That’s if I can only touch him.”
Then what do we do? Watch him hurt our daughter again and again. I have tolerated enough, Dominic I can’t be quiet anymore. If you can’t do anything. I’ll take matters into my own hands” left Andrea 1 left eye
Gawking at her bag that was hanging on her right forearm, she spoke murderously. “I have my revolver with me. If you can’t take care of then I will-
“For god’s sake, aunty, get a grip on your emotions Penelope rushed to her and seized her bag away from her

“If he’s anything then he’s a monster. He destroyed my daughter’s life and took her child away from her Claire is inside because of him. I can’t see him around her like this as if nothing happened. Dominar, you must do something about him.” Andrea’s nostrils flared angrily as she regarded her husband
“I don’t want to see him here again. You know what I will do if he shows himself”
Dominic and Penelope watched as Andrea stomped away
She didn’t fight to retrieve her bag which was a good thing. Dominic accessed her licensed gun and emptied all the bullen. He stuffed them in his pocket and put the gun back to where it was
He and Penelope shared a pained and weary look.
“Don’t leave here, Penny. Scott and his mother are proving out to be a handful Watch after Scott while I take care of Andrea, I don’t think there’s anyone else who can think straight other than us two” Dominic said while rubbing his temple.
“Claire is my first child. I was blessed with her when I truly wanted her. There’s no feeling in this world that can surpass the feeling of being a father. She completed my dream of a complete family when she came to this world. His voice was packed with pain. “Andrea thinks I can’t feel Claire’s pain because I’m a father, not a mother like her. But who will tell her that every sob that expels her mouth, every time a tear leaves her eyes, every wave of tremble I see in her body chips out pieces of my
soul.”
Besides Scott, Dominic never left the hospital since Claire was brought here. He was also in the same clothes as that day and with dishevelled hair.
“I will not leave my daughter alone. I can’t stop Hunter from staying here but I can fail his attempts to see her. Penny, you’re all the support I can get.”
“Unburden yourself from concern for Scott, uncle. And I understand everything you do. I know how powerful Hunter is, I support your actions. Don’t worry.” Penelope hugged his arm.
“I’ll be here, uncle. You must go after aunty. She needs you.”
Shaking his head in acknowledgement, Dominic faded into the shadows.

Should Hunter get a chance to see Claire? Do you think he deserves it now… After taking so much from Claire? Does he still deserve to stay the hero in her life that she thought he was? Comment down your views. And thanks for all the love🙂))
