Chapter 314 Still Alive Gizem finished changing and stepped out of the office. She headed to the ward to check on Desi. The girl would be staying in the hospital that night, so Gizem herself would have to work overtime. When she arrived at the ward, Wynnie and Eil were not there anymore, likely having headed home. Samuel was the only one accompanying Desi. The man was truly a loving father. The love he had for Desi was very genuine. “Daddy, I want ice cream,” Desi begged coyly.
“Some other time. We’ll have to wait till you get better.” Samuel caressed her cheek. The little girl looked a lot like Kathleen, especially her pair of eyes. Samuel’s heart would often throb in pain when he looked at Desi. If it hadn’t been for him, perhaps Eil and Desi wouldn’t have lost their mother’s love.

“No way! I don’t want ice cream anymore!” Gizem smiled faintly. As expected, children are so predictable. Samuel came to tuck Desi in. “Since you’re not having ice cream anymore, sleep early, then.” Desi yawned. “Ms. Zabinski, can you tell me a story?” Gizem froze. “Let me do it.” Samuel furrowed his brows.
