"Papa... Mama?", said Dominic when he saw who was coming.
"Kelly, how are you doing, son?", asked Gerard staring at the smell of Kelly in Dominic's arms. "I didn't expect Lory and her daughter to be able to pull off this cruel act. What they had in mind was actually" said Gerard, furious at what the mother and child had done to Kelly.
"Okay, P-paman", Kelly replied stammered.
While Lily closed her mouth, shocked to see Kelly's condition. To be honest, his little heart did not have the heart to see what Lory and Diane did to the girl. He also did not expect Lory and Diane who always looked as a respectable and highly educated woman turned out to be a very cruel and inhuman at all. Like a psychopath.
"You have to drag the mother and the child, in order to receive the punishment that is worth what they have done to your lover" Lily said, holding back her anger. Kelly lowered her head to hear Lily's words.
"Your mother is right, Domi", replied Gerard.
"Yes. I myself will guard their case", Dominic said, clasping Kelly's hand, which was silent from earlier.
"Papa and Mama just saw your uncle" Gerard said.
"Your father is better now, you don't have to worry about it" Gerard said, staring at Kelly, who was also staring at him.
I heard Kelly breathing. "Yes uncle", he answered slowly.
"Dominic there are people who want to talk to you now" said Gerard patted his son's shoulder.
Dominic nods his head and invites his father to a conversation on the sofa, which is located at Kelly and Lily's place.
At first glance Dominic looked at his mother with a serious face to invite Kelly to talk. Kelly nodded her head slowly at Lily who was talking.

Next day..
Dominic keeps his promise, to get Kelly to see his father. Kelly was in a wheelchair, while Dominic pushed the wheelchair into the inpatient room where Felix was in, just how many rooms away from Kelly's room.
A few hours ago Dominic was told by officers that Felix would be transferred to the inpatient room.
Dominic opens the handle and pushes Kelly's wheelchair into his father's room.
Kelly's eyes glazed over her father's condition. Being on the bed of the patient with a tilted body position. Felix was accompanied by his assistant, Mitchel.
Both of Felix's eyes were closed. Seems asleep. Mitchel explains his boss's condition to Dominic and Kelly. Lory's puncture was not too deep and did not hit Felix's vital organs. It's just that last night his boss couldn't sleep so the doctor gave him a low dose of sleeping pills to help Felix rest.
Kelly asks Dominic to push her wheelchair closer to her father. Kelly rubbed Felix's arm gently. "Pa.. Thanks for helping me".
"Papa must heal quickly. I want to see our house with papa" Kelly said slowly. The girl was seen wiping away the tears that had touched her face.
Slowly Felix opened his eyes and smilingly looked at his daughter. "Of course you will recover quickly, because you miss you Kellya so much" Felix replied.
"Have you woken up?" said Kelly, drawing a smile on his face while hugging Felix carefully for fear of hurting his injured father.
"Of course you were awake when you and your lover came" Felix answered gently rubbing Kelly's back. "How are you doing now?"
"I'm fine. I'm just worried about Papa. Last night I wanted to see papa, but Dominic let me see you this morning. It just so happened last night that Gerard's uncle and Lily's aunt came too" Kelly replied.
Felix smiled as he rubbed Kelly's back. "What did Lily tell you?"
Kelly lifted her face. The girl was seen upholding her sitting position. He stared alternately at the face of his father and Dominic who was sitting on the edge of Felix's bed.
"Hmmy Lily, ask me to get married to Domi. He said that papa's condition would quickly improve. After marriage someone took care of me" Kelly said.
"Mom Dominic's words are right, Kellya. With you married someone will continue to look after you. Papa is sure Dominic will be a good husband, not like papa", Felix said regretfully.
Quickly Kelly clasped Felix's fingers. "I want to open a new page with papa. Because there's only papa I have right now" Kelly said, carrying Felix's hand to his uninjured face.
"Why should you give my mama the answer?", asked Dominic curiously.
"I said wait for me to finish my graduation..."
"Akhs..."
It was seen Felix grimacing withstanding the pain.
"Papa... why? Does papa's wound hurt anymore?"
"Uncle is sick to hear your answer to mama, baby", Dominic replied quickly. "Well, is it uncle?"
"Yes Kellya. Why don't you get married now if you love each other. Papa will be calmer if anyone takes care of you. Papa is old Kellya, of course papa wants to see you happy. Your mom will also be happy to see you happy with your chosen man, Kellya. It's time you were happy, son. Forgive me for definitely leaving a trauma in you".
Kelly was silent at the words of her father.
"Yes uncle, I totally agree with what uncle said. This uncle's daughter is too stubborn. He insists on his own thinking" Dominic said, holding back his laughter.
Kelly widened both her eyes to look at her lover. He knows Dominic is taking his chances in a tight fit now, because someone is defending him.
Kelly breathed her long breath.
"Huhh, you're so happy now that you have your allies" Kelly said, hitting Dominic on the thigh.
Dominic laughed at Kelly's reply. He caught his lover's hands and clasped them tightly.
Felix witnesses Kelly and Dominic's body gesture. It is undeniable that the two love each other. Felix knew Dominic well, a serious young man who could never make small talk.
Felix smiled at the two. He never thought it turned out his daughter could conquer the heart of a great lawyer Dominic Howard who is one of his students.
Next minute...
"I'm willing to marry you, Domi. But after my dad and I were healthy again" Kelly said suddenly. "I don't want to get married, with my face still like this when I'm your wife"
Kelly's words left Dominic shocked. Spontaneously he came down and crouched down while curling Kelly's thigh, carrying his arm over the thigh. "Are you really willing to speed up our marriage?"
Kelly nodded her head with certainty. "Yes Dominic", he answered with certainty.
Dominic clasped Kelly's fingers tightly and kissed her repeatedly. "Tomorrow you must be examined by a surgeon so that the wound on your face heals quickly".
Dominic framed Kelly's face. Without a warning he crushed Kelly's open lips.
So happy to hear Kelly's answer, Dominic forgot Kelly was sick.
"Akh, Dominic's sick...!"
