Daddy... Wake up Daddy !
Mom and I are waiting for you !
Come on, wake up Daddy !
A girl's voice called me. I ran to find where the voice came from. In my solitude in this strange place, I finally heard a voice.
I kept looking for him, until I saw a pretty boy staring at me. He waved his hand at me.
Daddy, come back quickly !
He said and ran away leaving me.
I didn't want to lose that pretty boy, so I went after him. I could almost grab it until I felt the light blinding my eyes.
" He's back ! It's a miracle "said someone I can only hear her voice.
Then I could feel someone touching my body and checking my situation.
Slowly, I opened my eyes. It still feels so heavy but I try to force to open my eyes.
" Dave, you finally realized too. Thank God for the miracle you gave me " said an old man.
I looked at him until my eyes could see him clearly.
" Thu... Mr. Max "given me when I recognized who that man was.
Tears fell on his face that was filled with old strokes.
" You recognize me, son ? Thank goodness "he said it looked so relieved.
Mr. Max then approached me and hugged me tightly. I can feel this old man crying again.
After Mr. Max let go of his embrace, I looked around the room.
" Welcome back, young master ! I hope you recover as soon as possible " said Mr. Luke as my eyes swept through the room and looked at him.
I returned to circulate my gaze, and I saw Mr. Kean standing beside Master Luke. He looks so happy to see me.
" Th ... Mr Kean " said.
He nodded his head as a sign of respect for me astonished me.
" It's good to see you sober young Master" said Mr. Kean to me.
I just smiled faintly, not understanding what they meant. But from the look on their faces, I can conclude that they are happy to see me sober.
I looked back at Mr. Max who was still beside me. I don't know, I don't understand. But I could feel something different from her gaze. A look that holds a very deep longing.
Mr. Max asked the doctor to check on me again. And I was so grateful to hear that I was okay.
I don't know what happened to me actually. All I remember is my body in the cold water. Then, somehow I was able to be here.
Then I remembered Zoey. Yeah, how's he doing ? Then the content ?
I tried to get out of bed, but Mr. Max and Mr. Kean held me back.
" Where are you going, son ? " ask Mr. Max to me. He looks very worried.
" i... I have to go see Zoey ! How is he doing now ? " i asked back.
" Have a rest, you just realized "excited Mr. Max to prevent me from going down.
" no... I'm sorry sir, but I have to see my wife" I said trying to stay down.
Mr. Max and Mr. Luke tried to stop me from moving, but I remained adamant that even forcibly pulling out the infusion needle attached to the back of my hand made blood drip from there.
" Stop Dave ! Your wife will never know you again "said Mr. Kean.
No. gabe... How could Zoey not know me ? I'm Dave, my husband is also the father of the child he's born with.
I stared hard at Mr. Kean.
" What do you mean ? "
Mr. Kean brought me a small mirror, then asked me to look at the reflection inside.
" Look at you ! You're no longer the Dave he knew "he said.
I saw that mirror. A mirror showing the face of a man I don't know.
Is this me ? It's me, but it's not me
I said to myself while holding my face that looked different. No more deformed faces from the burns I had. There was only a new face that looked much more handsome. Only my eyes remain the same.
" aa... How can ? " my mumbling couldn't believe it.
" Let me tell you everything, Young Master" said Mr. Luke.
I sat back on the patient's bed. Mr. Kean immediately called the nurse to correct the infusion I had forcibly removed.
While Mr. Max, he was still faithfully sitting beside me.
After the nurse put the infusion back in my hand. Master Luke finally told me everything.
That after I helped Mr. Max first, Mr. Luke did a secret DNA test. And finally, it's known that I'm Mr. Max's missing biological grandson.
Then he also said if all this time Mr. Kean was sent to protect him. He also told me about the accident I had. Until then, I was saved by Mr. Kean's men.
After that, I was taken abroad for treatment. My face has undergone plastic surgery.
And the other reality that made my chest tight was that I had been in a coma for almost 5 years. And all this time, everyone's been saying I'm dead.
" What about Zoey ? What happened to him ? Then our son, was he born safely ? " let me wonder.
" As of this moment, Zoey is fine. Although at first he was so devastated to hear of an accident that left you without ", replied Mr. Max.
I saw Mr. Max take out some photos. Photos of Zoey with a beautiful baby. And now the baby has become a very beautiful little boy.
" This is your son, great-grandson of opa. She's beautiful isn't she ? Beautiful as her mother. But he has the same eye color as you. His name is Cassey, his current age is 4 years "obviously Mr Max again while handing the photos to me.
I looked at the pictures with happiness and sadness. I rubbed the face of Zoey holding our daughter.
" Sorry... Sorry I wasn't next to you guys at the time "I said softly as I held the photo on my chest. Without tears on my cheeks.
" I want to see them, sir... "
" Opa, call me opa ! " excited Mr. Max again while looking at me.
I looked at him, I knew he missed me so much.
" Okay opa" I said. I saw her eyes sparkle when I heard her call her opa.
" Thank you... Thank you for coming back to me "he said as he shed his tears again.
He hugged me again and I returned his embrace. There was a sense of warmth and comfort that seeped into my veins as we hugged each other.
" From now on, you're not Dave anymore. Dave is long dead. You'll be known as Ethan Wilson. His only grandson and heir to the Wilson Company" Opa Max told me.
" Welcome back, Mr. Ethan... Me, Kean will gladly be your right hand. Going forward, we will be together often. With pleasure, I will help you with all I can "root Kean while bowing his head with his hands touching his chest.
" but... How can you be my right hand ? " amusingly.
" Of course you can, young master. Because we have promised to always protect the Wilson family members with all the abilities we have ", said Mr. Luke with a smile.
