My Son's Dad

TWELVE

Lucas lay helplessly in that quiet little alley with blood continuously flowing from his head.

His body was crushed because it was beaten, kicked and stepped on, worse with the back of Lucas' head that was clearly badly injured.

Lucas was no longer able to make a sound for help, he resignedly looked at the dark afternoon sky.

In his heart Lucas can only pray that his sister is okay, may Adara not be hurt by Markus.

Lucas's gaze grew dark, until finally everything suddenly dark and silent.

“For the first time I regret in my life doing what you want, Clara.” Damian rubbed his face rough, he really felt like a failure as a father. “If you never asked me to stop hiring my men to watch over our children everything would not be like this!”

“If you weren't stubborn maybe Adara wouldn't be like this, she wouldn't get pregnant out of wedlock. And Lucas won't be in the ER space like he is today. You always say about freedom, their right to live what they want, you always tell me to stop meddling in their lives. But look at what happened, our son was crushed and injured right before our eyes Clara!”

Clara could only cry, she also regretted her decision first. Clara knows what it's like to be watched and on the bridle she doesn't like such a thing so she asks Damian not to do that to their son, ahh, because at that time Clara did not ask well, more precisely Clara threatened Damian.

And look now, Lucas is fighting death.

Clara had no idea who would do this to her son Lucas.

“Stop blaming Mama Pa, Mama is not wrong. It's all Adara's fault. Previously Lucas called Adara, Adara thought he called for help but Adara ignored him. Had Adara not ignored it everything would not have been like this.”

Adara was also crying, she did not want her little brother why napa.

“I won't let this matter pass you by, I'll find the person who already made Lucas like this and make sure it will make that person hurt worse than Lucas.” hiss Damian clenched his hands.

Long enough they all waited for the doctor who handled Lucas out until finally the doctor came out with a tired face.

“What about my son's condition doc?” clara asked quickly, she looked expectantly at the doctor.

“He's fine, but is any of you named Markus?” ask the doctor while looking at the patient's family one by one.

Markus raised his hand hesitantly, “I Markus..what's the matter doc?”

“Patients keep calling your name, are you patient family?” ask the doctor again.

Damian glanced at Markus with a suspicious look. “Where were you when Lucas got hurt, Markus?”

Adara turned to Damian, “Markus with me Pa, Markus accompanied me to look after Aaron. Markus couldn't have hurt Lucas.”

“You're crazy Sean?!”

Markus berates his man, knowing that the man who had put Lucas in the hospital was Sean, the same man who had shot Aaron.

“Why are you running amok like this, shouldn't you be thanking me?!” Sean stood up, “If I hadn't finished him off he would have leaked your secrets to everyone!”

“But I never asked you to hit him up like that! He's critical! And he just kept calling me my name!”

“You rest easy, it just takes a little time I can make him disappear and will not be able to open his mouth again.”

“Don't be crazy you're Sean!” Markus encourages Sean, “He's his sister Adara!”

“Then what if she's the little sister? All you want is her brother not her sister.”

Markus shook his head disapprovingly, “Don't. Don't hurt him, he's innocent.”.

“Don't pretend to be holy you're Markus, I knew when the boy contacted his older brother you picked up the call, if you don't want the child to get hurt you can just call me when you hear the child's voice but you don't, because you want to make the child silenced. I've known you for a long time Markus, I know what kind of person you are. I know deep down you wish the boy hadn't survived and died, right? Like you were expecting the death of Aaron.”

Markus was silent, Sean was right. Mark was afraid of being discovered. And he wanted Lucas not to be able to tell everyone the truth.

“You're quiet enough and there's money for me. You just need to take care of it, I'll eliminate those two people for you.”

“You know what you have to do, don't you?” Damian looked at the man with a serious look.

His men nodded their heads, “Ya Tuan.”

“Oh yes, don't forget to investigate about Markus Orlando as well. He's very suspicious.”

“Good Mr.”
