What did Keith mean by that?

Was it Keith that made my mom find us?

Is he in cahoots with that woman?

These were the questions running through my head all day at school.

Maybe I could tell Boss about what happened with Keith and he can help.

Yes, I'll go there after I leave the hospital.

"Hey!" I heard Leonardo's voice call as I approached my car.

"Hey." I greeted with a quick smile.

"Are you okay?" He asked with a concerned look.

"Um..." I tried to understand what he meant by that question.

"You looked really worried today whenever I saw you like something was always on your mind, do you want to talk about it over coffee or something?"

"Oh," I realized. "I'm going to the hospital right now so I don't think I have time for coffee." I honestly told him.

"Is it about your dad? Can I come with you?" He asked with wide eyes.

How can I possibly say no to that?!

"No." I deadpanned and he scoffed.

"You must be really cold hearted to say no to that." He joked.

"You have no idea."

"Come on!" He dragged. "I just want you to have a friend waiting for you when you are done talking to the doctor, and besides I really care about what happens to your father."

"You just want to come with me right?" I blurted out and he nodded. "Fine!" I sighed. "But you drive and meet me there." I gave a condition.

"That's fine." He smiled.

"Let's go then." I urged him to go get into his car.

On the whole drive to the hospital, I couldn't help but think how much I misunderstood Leonardo but he still cares about me.

I will never doubt him for anything anymore.

When I got to the hospital and parked my car, Leonardo parked his car right next to mine and followed behind me to the reception.

We walked up to the receptionist and with a smile on my face I decided to ask about my dad. "Hey, I'm he-"

"Riona."

A familiar voice called from behind making me freeze.

"Riona," Someone grabbed my arm. "Why won't they let me see your father?!" She screamed at me.

"Let me go." I shook my arm away from her grip.

"Why won't they let me see your father? I demand to see your father!" She caused a scene attracting a lot of attention.
