Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 240 - Time To Take A Decision



" Because I Love you so much…." She sobbed. The scene made his heart wrenched. But he doesn't want her to show his pain.

" Kathie….Still, you are awake? Didn't I tell you to sleep! " he asked her, walking towards the bed.

" Just, I was looking at our Sam…" she replied, rubbing her tears with the back of her palms. " Doctor said to take some rest…" he said and gestured to sleep her on his lap.

" Are you not angry at me? " she asked him. He gave a small smile and said, `` No''. Then he helped to keep her head on his lap.

" Really! " she asked, looking at his face. " Hmmm… sleep. We can talk about it later" he said. Then he crouched over her head and pressed his lips on her forehead.

" Do you know what Forehead kiss means? " he asked her. She blinked her eyes innocently and waited for his reply.

" It is a promise to express the care, sincerity, and bonding between a couple. It is especially a promise to express that the person will be there till the end of their life…" he expressed, looking into her eyes.

Tears brimmed from her eyes with his soothing words and, " I love you…Ad. I am lucky to have you"

" But…" she gulped her throat when she suddenly thought of Grayson.

" What! " he asked, observing fear in her eyes. 

" Nothing…" she nodded her head and closed her eyes while holding his hand tightly. He caressed her hair so that she would sleep for a while. A few minutes later, he checked Sam as it was time to give him medicine. He gently placed her head on the pillow and went to come to the nurse to check Sam.

…..

The nurse came and gave antibiotics to Sam and left the room. Then Ruby came with the plate of food to feed Katherine. She noticed Katherine sleeping and was supposed to leave the place but she saw Adrian was lost in his thoughts.

Without making a noise, she walked towards Adrian. " Come and have some food…" she invited Adrian to eat.

He looked at him and shook his head as NO. " Please...Adrian. I know you didn't have anything since last night " Ruby requested.

" How can I eat when my wife and my son are in this condition? " He questioned her back.

" I can understand your state but this is not a solution for this problem," Steven said while coming with one plate of food. Ruby and Adrian turned their heads towards him.

" When our heart is weak and not in a condition to think then better we use our brain…" he said, giving the plate to food.

Adrian looked at him and said, " I can't see Kathie is in this state. It is hard for me to see her in a vulnerable state " he replied to Steven.

" I can understand but you should be strong to handle it. You have to and you can only solve this problem…" Steven said sternly while looking at a few documents to him.

….

After reading those documents, Adrian was bewildered and looked at him with disbelief.

" Think and make a wise decision. We have very little time. Before that, you eat first and feed this food to Kathie…" Steven said and gestured to Ruby to come with his eyes. Ruby didn't understand what was going on between Steven and Ruby.

…..

After coming out of the room, Ruby questioned " What are you hiding from me again? ". Steven stared at her face and understood that she was talking about the documents.

He smiled at her and said, " Before going to reply to your question. Answer me, how much do you love Katherine? " 

" I love her like my mom… " she answered instantly.

" If I say that knowing about the document is dangerous to her life then you want to know about it?" He asked her.

"No...Never. I want her to be happy and safe" she said and looked at Steven with tears in her eyes.

" Good. Now...go and take some rest just like a good girl…" he pinched her nose. She nodded her head and took the seat. She leaned back on the seat and closed her eyes. 

" Babe...juice…" Steven patted her shoulder. Ruby instantly opened her eyes and looked at the glass in his hand.

" I had my food. My stomach is full " She refused. " But this juice is for my cutie pie…" he whispered, leaning closer to her.

" Steve..please…" she pouted her lips. He looked at her face and said, " Only half glass...". Having no other option, she took the glass from his hand and gulped half a glass of juice. 

" one more sip, babe…" he whispered.

" No...I can't. Please…" she said and looked at him, showing puppy eyes. " Okay then. I will have this juice " saying he placed his lips on the lipstick marks on the glass looking at her.

" Really...so tasty…" he grinned.

" Steve...how can you be so cool even in this situation? " she questioned him, looking at his face. 

" Your presence beside me and the smile boosts confidence in me to stay strong. " he said intertwining her hands and continued, " Until I meet you, I doubted myself whether I could convince Martin but now I am so confident that I will convince after solving Grayson's issues…" 

" Once this matter settles, I will talk with Martin…" she promised him. She wanted to ask him one important matter but she hesitate to ask him. She turned her head and looked out of the window. 

" Ruby ...is anything bothering you! " Steven asked, tightening his grip. She opened her mouth but instantly she pursed her lips, lowering her eyes.

" Tell me ...what is going on in your brain ?" He asked placing his palms in both cheeks.

"Nothing …." she lied looking at her fingers on her lap. He noticed her fingers and confirmed that she was thinking something serious.

" Look into my eyes and tell me what is bothering you? " He asked again. She raised her eyes and said, " Sorry. if my question hurts you" 

" First tell me, what is it? " He asked, examining her face. Then she continued, " It is about your mom. Does she know about our arrival? What if she has a problem with us? "

" I will handle her and please trust me in this matter " he promised her. Then he continued, " After the attack on you in the hospital, I am so scared.. I don't want to take risks anymore. So I arranged a place where it will be safe for everyone…"
