Chapter 29

Danielle Lexington
3 years later..
My dad got hospitalized and I rushed back to New York bringing Oscar with me because I was worried. Daisy picked me up at the airport and drove quickly to the hospital.
I was in panic mode that's why as soon as we arrived at the hospital, I ran in quickly. Daisy already told me the room number so.. I was rushing to find that room. I brought Oscar with me and he was asking about his grandfather again and again.
When I saw the room number, I immediately walked in. I saw my dad talking to his secretary and he turned to me. I let out a breath of relieve when I saw him doing okay. Oscar went to him and held his hand right away.
"I'm fine." He said and I shook my head.
"Mr. Morgan." I turned to the door and found the doctor walking in.
"What happened to my dad?" I asked right away.
"You're his daughter? Ms. Bella Morgan right?" The doctor asked and I nodded.
"He needs a surgery to remove his appendix tomorrow noon but besides that.. he's doing just fine. He can't eat anything for 12 hours before the surgery so please keep your eye on him."
"Okay, thankyou so much." I said and he left us. I turned to my dad and sighed.
"See.. I told you I'm fine." He said and he even picked Oscar up.
"I'm going to get something to drink." I said and I walked out from the room. I walked towards Starbucks because I need coffee. I took out my phone and let Daisy know that she can pick me up later on at night.
"Danielle." I froze when I heard Alan's voice. I turned my head slowly and saw him standing 3 feet from me. I was speechless seeing him and I felt like tears going to come out soon.
I was going to say something when someone called me from the back.
"Ms. Morgan.. Ms. Morgan.." I turned to see my dad's secretary walking to me with Oscar on her arms.
"Mom.. I wanna come with you." Oscar said as he reached his arms out to me. I turned to Alan and his eyes widen. I grabbed Oscar and told my dad's secretary to go back.
"Let's go." I said to Oscar but Alan stopped me by standing in front of me.
"Can we talk?" He asked.
"Sorry, I can't." I said to Alan completely not dare to look at his eyes. I held Oscar tightly and tried to walk pass Alan but he kept blocking my way.
"Danielle."
"Please just.. leave me alone." I said and Oscar turned his head to Alan. I immediately held his head towards me and Alan stopped me by holding on to my upper arm.
"Danielle.. we need to talk."
"I don't want to!" I hissed and looked at him coldly.
"Mommy, I want a cookie." Oscar said.
"Danielle! We need to talk!" Alan's voice got bigger and it scared Oscar.
"Fine! Can you at least let me buy my son a cookie first?" I asked and Alan nodded. I walked pass him and walked to Starbucks. I bought a cookie for Oscar and sat down on the empty seat near the window. I let Oscar eat his cookie and I turned to Alan who just sat down across me.
Alan's eyes never left Oscar. He was observing him and I can't blame him. Oscar really looked like him.
"I was looking for you all over the place, where do you live now?" He's looking for me? I turned to him disbelief and he sighed.
"I tried to beg your dad to tell me where you are but he's a rock head. 5 years begging for him to tell me where you live already driving me crazy already. I hired 10 PI to find you but none."
"Why are you looking for me?" I asked and he turned to Oscar.
"Stop looking at the kid!" I hissed and he turned to me but this time.. his eyes were burning in anger.
"The kid? I'm pretty sure that he's our kid." I found myself holding on to Oscar tightly.
"He's not!"
"I spent years trying to find you, Danielle. Can you please don't argue with me? Because I'm this close to go to the mental hospital just to look for you."
"Why are you looking for me? I thought I made it-"
"You're selfish huh? That's you! You can live without me but I can't!" He bursted angrily at me.
"Why are you angry at mommy?" Oscar asked and I turned to Oscar.
"Let me take him back to my dad first, then we can talk." I said as I picked Oscar up. I quickly walked to my dad's hospital room and let Oscar play with his granddad. I walked out and Alan gestured me to follow him.
Emotions started to fill me and I never thought I will be seeing Alan again after 5 years. I don't know how I felt, I wanted to cry so much and hug him to let him know that I miss him but I controlled myself.
"What's his name?" He asked as we arrived at the garden behind the hospital.
"Oscar Morgan." I answered completely, not dare to look him in the eye.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"He's not-"
"I'm not blind, Danielle. People can clearly see that he's mine!" He hissed coldly and I looked straight into his eyes.
"What do you want?"
"Let's start again.. hmm?"
"Alan." I sighed.
"I can't.. live without you. I'm this close to go crazy, Danielle." He said as he took my hands holding it tightly. Emotions started to go up quickly and my eyes already filled with tears. I bit my lips trying my best not to cry.
"Please.." He begged.
"Why? You can find someone else.." I said as I still trying my best not to cry.
"I can't." He said.
"I tried and I can't."
"But.. I'm-" Before I can finish my sentence, I found myself crying. Alan pulled me into a tight hug and I cried in his arms. The emotions had been piling up for 5 years and I couldn't hold it anymore.
