Attracted to my Friend's Father's Charm
Chapter 41. I can see again

...🍀🍀🍀...

"Dad, what if Savana finds out about her grandmother later?" elena asked the papa on the sidelines of his waiting in front of the operating room.

"Sooner or later he will know everything, but for now we keep it a secret. I hope Madame Biche is okay after the surgery" Javier told her daughter. Although he was not sure about Martha's condition, because a few days ago he spoke to the doctor who handled the old woman. The doctor said that Martha's life is not long. The cancer has been eating away at his body despite being treated with chemotherapy as well as other alternative treatments.

His old age, aggravated his condition. The cancer has spread to all the important organs in his body. However, Javier hopes that Martha's condition after surgery will be fine. At least Savana should see her grandmother first.

1 Hour passed, the operating room light was still on. Javier and Elena were still faithfully waiting in front of the room. As they were waiting, suddenly a middle-aged man came running towards them. His face looked panicked and anxious. The man was not alone, he was with a young man behind him.

"Mrs. Maverick?" greet Javier in a middle-aged man who is only 4 years older than him.

"Daddy, Daddy knows him? She was similar to Savana." Elena whispered to her daddy when she saw the figure of the middle-aged man before her who was similar to Savana, especially her eyes and face.

"He's Savana's father."

Javier's reply suddenly made Elena stunned, he could not believe meeting Savana's father who had always been told by him. Her father runs away with his new family and leaves Savana with Griselda, the mother. Savana always told me that she missed her father.

Javier had also heard a little story about Savana's father from his little lover. Javier recalls that Savana once said he saw the figure of his father in Javier.

...Hubby, do you know? My dad was so nice, he always took care of me, he was as warm as you and I found a father figure inside you. But hubby, he hurt me and left with his new family. From there I realized that the person who had the most chance of hurting us was the one we loved. But hubby, you're never gonna hurt me like my dad, are you? You're not leaving me, are you?'...

Steve approached Javier and Elena in a hurry. From his home in Brazil, he immediately came to Mexico upon hearing that Savana was about to be operated. He got the news from Javier, who was just a business partner.

"Mrs. Sandersix, how's my daughter doing? Has he been operated on?" ask Steve worriedly.

"He's still inside, the operation is still ongoing" Javier replied.

Steve held his chest, he exhaled. He was trying to control his breath.

'Lord, please launch the Savana operation and Martha's mama. Please God! Allow MY DAUGHTER to see this world again'

Steve's hands were crossed in his chest, he prayed to his Lord. So that everything goes well and both are fine. Savannah could see again. After this Steve will take Savana away and give happiness to his daughter. A chance for Steve so that he can give Savana the affection that has been missed.

"Mr Sanderix, thank you for helping my daughter so much. And thanks to you, too, El-"

"My name is Elena, sir." said Elena.

"Yes, Elena, thank you for being my son's best friend" Steve told Elena.

"No need to thank you sir, I'm very happy and lucky to be Savana's best friend. She is a sweet and kind girl, Savana is also strong. But unfortunately he has an evil father and mother. How can a child as sweet as Savana be ignored by both parents?" elena said sarcas, glaring cynically at the middle-aged man. Until the look of Steve's face turned pale and his eyes radiated sadness. Steve's heart breaks the pain of hearing Elena's words.

"Elena, watch your talk baby" Javier said as he glanced at Elena. Then he looked at Steve. "I'm sorry my daughter, Mr. Mavericks."

"No need to apologize. What did the Princess say. Sanderix is right. I should not, as a father, propose my own biological daughter. Whatever the reason, everything I do is not justified." Steve realizes his mistake that has abandoned Savana. Should he marry again and have a new family, he should not ignore Savana and neglect his responsibilities as a parent.

"Doctor, what about my daughter? What about her grandmother?" ask Steve streak. In the hope that the operation goes well.

"Your daughter's operation went well, just waiting for the human patient and then we'll open the bandage in her eyes to see the results."

Javier, Elena and Steve look relieved because Savana's operation went well. No problem at all.

"Then how is your grandmother doc?"

This time Steve's question made the look of the doctor's face that had been radiant, so grim and dark like lightning in a hole. The face of this doctor invited many questions from the three people standing there.

"Dok, how are things" Steve hung his words there, because he was tense to see the look on the doctor's face.

"It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Ms. Martha has died after surgery" said the man's doctor who suddenly made the three people there surprised instead of playing.

"What?!" steve jolt in shock.

Elena and Javier were equally shocked. They mourn Martha's death and on the other hand they worry about Savana's condition. What if the girl finds out?

"Mrs Martha left this letter, for Savana and also Mr. Maverick." said the doctor, handing over two envelopes with letters from Martha. With trembling hands, Steve received the letter.

*****

1 hour passed and Savana was awake, this is the time when the doctor will open the Savana eye bandage. Savannah, who cannot wait to see the world again.

As the doctor opens the Savana bandage, Steve decides to wait outside and see Savana from there. He is not ready to talk' with Savana and does not want to disturb his happiness later, Though Javier has invited him inside.

Slowly the doctor opened the bandage that covered both of Savana's beautiful eyes. Once opened, Savana opened her eyes slowly. "Van, can you see me?!" ask Elena first. He's impatient.

"Why are you so skinny now? Are you dieting again?" Savana pinched softly on Elena's cheek. He smiled and shed tears, not believing that he could see again.

"You can see again? Oh God!!" exclaimed Elena who immediately hugged Savana with a happy feeling. Savannah is the same. Savana looked at Javier with a smile, Javier smiled back.

'Lord, thank God Savana can see again' Javier's inner relief.

While it was out there, Steve saw Savana and tearlessly fell down his cheeks. Savana saw Steve's face at the window, hurried the girl down from her bed. Then he ran out of the room. Javier and Elena wonder why Savana is so.

"Papa.." - Savana called Steve who walked not far from him and turned his back. As for Steve, he was confused as to how.
