No Reason But Us

Chapter 62 : Forbid To See

After the Romeo was escorted out, Eva had to confront her fiancé about it. "I can't believe you. How could you do this?" she questioned him. "How could you prevent him from seeing Odette?"

"I'm just protecting our daughter, Eva," Leon defended. "Is that so wrong?"

"You are not protecting her from Gage. He wasn't the one who shot her, so don't give me that bullshit."

"I don't care. I don't trust him."

"You don't trust him, or you don't like him?" Eva questioned him.

"What's that supposed to him?" Leon responded.

"You tell me. You didn't even consult me that you had to get a security guard just to keep Gage from seeing our daughter."

"Because I knew you'd say no," the man argued.

"Oh, my God. You are being unreasonable."

"Call it what you want, but I am not letting him near Odette. We almost lost her."

"I understand. However, you need to understand that Gage is not Adrian! And Adrian is not Gage. They may be father and son, not the same person. They are two different people."

"Don't you think I know that?"

"Then why do this?" Eva interrogated him. "Gage is a good kid. He's not going to do anything to put Odette in danger. Furthermore, he knows the truth about his father."

"Does he know the whole truth?" the CEO blurted.

"There it is. The truth came out. You are just doing this out of spite. This is not just about Adrian's attempt to kill her. This is about Gage being the son of two people who betrayed you. You still can't see past that, can you?"

"It doesn't matter now." After that, Leon turned his back on his fiancée since her words hit a nerve. "And, my decision is final. That boy is not allowed to see Odette."

"Not the right one." Then Eva left him in the corridor.

Gage was escorted out. It was humiliating, considering he had to be dragged out to the lobby in front of so many people in the hospital. "I'm here. Now, can you just leave me alone?" he grunted, then aggressively pulled himself away from the security guard as he just let the young man go and walked away to get back to his post.

Eva went after him and tried to hurry since she was wearing stilettos. "Gage!" she called out. Eventually, she caught up to him.

"Ms. Hermosa?"

The older woman looked at him with concern. "Are you alright? Did the guard hurt you?"

"I'm banned from seeing Oddey, and her father had to request a bouncer to make sure that's happening. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty pissed." The poor guy even noticed that people had their eyes on him. However, when he caught any of them glancing at him, they just looked away.

"I'm sorry. Listen, Gage, just go home." Eva took out a business card from her purse and gave it to him. "Here, just message me, and I can tell you how she's doing."

"I don't want this! I want to see her!"

"Well, you can't. So if I were you, just take what you can get."

The Romeo let out a heavy sigh as he held the card in his hand. "If you want to help me, then find a way to help me see her."

"Don't you see that it's not that simple, especially when it's your father's fault that Odette is fighting to stay alive in the ICU?" The woman replied. "Trust me, I don't like this any more than you do."
