CHAPTER 62

"WHAT happened to dad?!" Cross' loud angry voice echoed in the hallway of the hospital upon arriving there. The two people who were there turned their heads towards their direction and Chloe saw right away from their faces that they weren't welcome there.

"Lower your voice down, will you?! No one is deaf here!" Beatrice answered full of displeasure and Cross' jaw flexed.

"I don't care! Just answer me! What happened to dad?! He was just doing fine a while ago and then suddenly, he's in the hospital?!"

"And what are you trying to imply? Are you trying to put the blame on mom and us?" Vito snapped at Cross angrily.

"Why? Did I step on a landmine?" Cross taunted and that angered Vito even more. Vito closed the gap between them like a raging bull that was about to attack his prey but Cross didn't even wince. They started into each other as if measuring each other's strength.

"Just pray that I wouldn't discover what really happened because I will never forgive anyone who hurt dad in any way."

"Damn you!" Vito's eyes squinted in so much anger and was about to punch Cross but Chloe managed to stop him by getting in between them.

"Can you at least respect your father even just for this moment?! He's in there, fighting for his life and yet, you both are thinking about your issues!"

"I'm not doing anything, Chloe. Tell that to your man." Vito glared at Cross one more time before turning his back on them and sat on one of the chairs in that hallway. Everyone finally became quiet as the minutes turned into hours.

She could tell that Cross wanted to know exactly what happened but chose to just remain quiet instead of having an argument with Beatrice and Vito.

"Are you okay? Do you want something to drink or eat?" She asked after she didn't know how long. He'd been convincing her for him to take her home so that she could rest but she refused to do so. She didn't want to leave him there together with Vito and his mother alone.

"I'm okay, cariño. You don't have to worry about me. What about you? Do you need anything?" He looked worried as he looked at her. He even gently caressed her tummy as if making sure if their baby was fine.

She was about to answer when someone suddenly butted in their conversation.

"If I were you, Chloe; I would get Cross out of here. I don't see the reason why he's here anyway. My husband's condition would surely worsen with that kind of attitude that he's pulling here." Beatrice, who has been pacing back and forth, said firmly before sitting next to her son.

Cross didn't answer right away but Chloe could feel the tension in his body as she held him by the wrist. He stood up with his hands balled into fists and Chloe followed him.

"Calm down. Getting angry will not help your father's condition. Just ignore her. Let's sit over there while waiting for the doctor." Chloe suggested, referring to the chairs farther from them, and pulled him by the hand. But he didn't move. She was about to say something to him when he finally spoke.

"As the first born of dad, I have every right to be here. I don't care about what you say. I will stay. But let me just tell you something. If I discovered that you two are the ones who have caused this to happen, I will make you pay." He threatened and seeing him like brought chills down her spine.
