Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 388

Kira rushed home and washed her face, hoping Dad wouldn’t notice her puffy eyes. 

Or if he did, she could say those were tears of joy at her admission into Stamford 

When she reached home, Gideon’s bedroom door was shut. 

The chocolate praline cake was found in his room that evening 

Gideon had disappeared. 

Dad was so worried that he wanted to call the police. 

But then he got a phone call 

After he came back into the room, he told Kira to forget about Gideon. 

‘He’s 

not worth your tears, honey,‘ Dad said. 

A half–naked Gideon lying in bed with Georgina was the last image Kira had of him. 

Until now 

ira hopped into the bathroom and washed her face again 

She didn’t understand. 

What was Gideon doing here? 

His appearance was just as sudden as his disappearance. 

Did he come to Stamford on business, happen to remember his ex–girlfriend, and decide to drop by for 

a visit? 

What do yHEVR 

think, Dad?‘ Kira asked her i 

unconscious father. 

A nurse must have given him a shave today. 

His face was clean 

1, his cheeks sunken. 

Kira wondered what her father would do to Gideon if he were awake. 

To him, Gideon was the boy who broke his daughter’s heart. 

The door banged open 

Kira jumped. 

She looked up and saw Gideon standing in the doorway, gripping an ice pack. 

He was panting. 

Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. 

Did he run back here? 

Kira stared at him. 

Gideon got his wind back 

He closed the door gently. 

He squatted in front of Kira, held up her slender anlde with one hand and placed the ice pack on it. 

When he looked up, he was smiling. 

What are you smiling at?‘ Kira frowned. 

Did her injury amuse him? 

Nothing. I’m just happy to find you were still here when I got back” 

Did he think she was going to run off? 

Was that why he ran all the way back? 

Gideon’s h 

‘s hand was numb from the cold, but he didn’t care. 

He was just relieved. 

And happy 

She hadn’t disappeared like the previous times. 

Kira said nothing 

She forced herself to focus on her anide 

Pain was a welcome distraction at this point. 

After a long while of silence, Gideon said, ‘How’s your dad doing? 

Kira turped to look at her father’s sleeping face 

Gedeon used to call her father Mr Hewitt, then Leland, 

After he became Kira’s boyfriend, be called Leland Dad. 

‘s father used to joke that he had a live–in son–in–law. “He had a car accident,” Kira sald simply 

‘Two years apo 

Gideon telt his heart constric 

and ache, as if an invisible hand had reached into his chest and given it a hard 

squeeze. 

Who’s Your Sugar Daddy? 

Kira must have been so overwhelmed when the accident happened. 

Her father was all the family she had after Gideon left. 

Gideon knew how much Kira adored Leland. 

Recalling his own horrific experience, Gideon could imagine what Kira must have gone through. 

He hated that he wasn’t there for her. 

‘He’s been unconscious ever since?! 

Gideon had been here for two days. 

Leland had not opened his eyes once 

into a humourless smile. ‘My father is in a coma. Can’t you see?” 

Kira stretched her lips in 

Gideon could see it, he just didn’t want to admit it. 

Kira was just stating a fact, but Gideon heard the accusation in her voice, 

It intensified the guilt already weighing heavily on his heart.
