Chapter 299 - Red Or Purple?

Beep______ beep______ beep_______ beep______

Sky grunts while trying to open his eyes. The sounds coming from the machine make him dizzier than he already is.

"Don't try move yet, you little brat." the voice that scolds him when he tries to lift his body up sounds so familiar, and then there's a big hand holding his waist to lie down back on the bed. The light is too bright for him to immediately adjusting and open his eyes. Thus, he still closes his eyes before he could adapt it with the brightness.

"Un..uncle..Ha..harry?" He asked, and he felt his throat is a little dry, and his voice sounds raspy.

Scoffed, he could feel that the hand move to his head. Ruffling his hair softly. "Yes, It's me. Who else you think would take care of you if not me? Where the heck did you went, huh?" Harry wants to scold this little boy, but then..how could he ever hurt his favorite nephew when he's lying on the bed, sick like this?

"It's hurt." Sky cracking a smile while m.o.a.ning, and Harry touches his ribs softly. "Of course it hurt, you broke two of your ribs, and you got twenty stitches on the back of your head, you dummy."

"Mm…" Now he knew why it hurt so much around his head and his ribs. It looks like he was beaten pretty severely by Curtis. 'Oh, right…Curtis..'

"Harry..how did you know I-"

"Someone call me. But I didn't tell your parents yet. You want me to tell my brother? Maybe after this, he'll lock you up, who knows..wanna try?" Harry still wants to tease the boy by telling him that he would tell his brother, Henry, about the accidents that happen in Alaska.

Sky immediately pull Harry's sleeves and shakes his head. "No..don't..please."

Chuckles, Harry try to hold his laughs. "Ah, I thought you didn't fear anyone. It seems like you do fear of your dad, huh?"

Sky bit his lips. 'If only I'm not hurt right now...I would get at you back, Harry!'

"How long…has I've been sleeping?"

"Well..just two days. But, you also bring trouble to the whole nation, you know. Just for your information, Lily takes all the blame and is going through a trial right now. I heard Alex didn't even say a single thing about this..like he's made a promise to someone."

Shocked, Sky sat up and said, "She did what?" he winced after that. His ribs still hurt like hell. There's no way he would be out of this hospital early if he didn't follow the therapy session later.

"Lay down, you little-" Harry sighs. "Anyway, don't blame yourself. She did it to save you. I don't think she's gonna be jailed for this. She's the daughter of Benedict Lawrence, don't you ever forget that. She's like a real princess, while you, young man..just a frog prince. Don't forget that."

"And...I don't like the idea of you two have a 'thing' as you two grow up." He mumbles those lines, but Sky was not interested to know it at all. 'Who cares about his idea or not?'

"Anyway..that's aside..she told Luna that you will help her find the evidence. Do you know anything about it?" Harry scrunch his eyebrow. Sky was not in his isolation room for the past week, so does this mean he was not able to find it yet?

Kiera is now has been confiscated by the govt. There's no way they can break through the system without Lily's help or Sky. Isn't it just better to kill bad guys without using the law? It'll be faster too.

"Mm...yeah, I know. The evidence..is with me." Sky utter it and show his hand to Harry. Harry frowned, looking at the boy.

"Huh! So proud, huh? Lucky you didn't lose your hands this time."

Sky laughs. Well, he never feels bored with his uncle. He acts more like his dad than his actual dad. His face also looks the same. If he went out with Harry, people would mistake him as Harry's son.

He didn't mind it either. After all, he knew Harry must be lonely if he's not with him. All his life seems like there's no purpose or destination as he refuses to marry anyone. Because of him, Harry was able to fill his time. He found new 'responsibilities' that he should take care of, and it's nurturing him.

"Rest now. I'll stay here with you until you recover."

"Thanks, Harry. You're…the best."

Luna walks inside the penthouse tiredly while holding Alex's hand. Both of them were just attending the trials of Lily's case privately held by the CIA court.

"You want a drink, Alex?" Luna asked, and Alex shakes his head. It's been two days since Alex stay with Luna and Raymond. 

Because Lily is now under arrest, he went back living with his parents. James also is in hiding as he heard from his papa's discussion with Dania and Rose last night.

Which means there's only left with one obstacle. Once Raymond got the evidence from Sky and found out James hiding spot, it's gonna 'checkmate.' But, right now, he's sad about what happened to Lily. If he knows it will turn out like this, he would never make a promise to her. He wonders if Sky already knew about this or not.

Why did she make those deals? If he knew about it, he won't stay silent and find his way out by himself. He knew that agent Caitlin and Flynn were surprised when Lily went to the CIA without waiting for them to return.

They never intend to put Lily in those difficult situations. They thought that once their mission is cleared, they would make up another story that could cover Lily's identities. Still, it was too late when they arrived at the headquarters. 

Today, another trial about Lily's action discussed by those leaders and judges. They had a difficult time deciding on what crimes they should convict to a five-year-old child. Not only that, the fact that Lily is the CIA founder's granddaughter also cannot be set aside.

"You okay, Alex?" Raymond, who just walk out of his study, went to his son and carried him in his arm. "You didn't talk much lately. Did you worry about Lily?" Raymond asked him, and Alex nods his head to his father.

"Yeah... I'm so worried about her." 

"It's okay to worry about your sister. But, you should not neglect your own health too, you know. Or she'll be sad. You're a tough guy, aren't you? So, shows to her so that she won't be sad." he brings Alex to the kitchen with Luna following them from behind.

Yeah, normally only Raymond who able to persuade their son to eat, bathe and sleep. And she glad that Raymond able to adapt to being a father in a short time.

Hero also runs to the kitchen and whine to Raymond. It seems like all the boys really attach to his father, huh? "You want to eat too, Hero?" Raymond asked, and Hero circling around Raymond's legs.

"Let me do it, Papa," Alex said, and he went down to open a can of Hero's wet food. Alex kinda likes Hero because of his fur, which is so smooth and his body almost the same size as he is.

Ever since he stays with his parents, Hero likes to sleep with him on the bed. His purr makes Alex calm at night.

While watching Alex's play with the dog, Raymond secretly kisses on Luna's lips. Whisper to her.. "I have something I want to discuss with you."

Luna lifts up her eyebrow a little. "About what?"

"Let's talk after dinner, okay? I made some delicious dinner today." Raymond smiles, hoping that Luna would praise him. But then Luna tilts her head a little.

"Do you know how to cook?"

Open his mouth, Raymond said.."Hey…" then he chuckles a little, "Well, I learn it from Youtube."

Laughing, Luna went to him and wrapped her hand around Raymond's neck. "Hmm...I wonder how it tastes."

"Mhm? Want to taste it now?" He holds Luna's waist and ready to kiss her again, but then Alex suddenly stands up, which makes them both suddenly jolt a little.

"I think I need to go to the bath first before dinner." Alex turns around and looks at his parents, who seem a bit suspicious.

"Why mama and papa's face look red?"

Touches her cheek, Luna asks, "Really?" then she looks at Raymond's face.

Yup. They both look a little red. "Well, maybe because I'm a little tired today."

"Hmm? Really?" Alex tilts his head a little.

"Mm, Alex…let's go." Raymond holds Alex's hand to leave the kitchen. "I'll bath you tonight." while he was talking to Alex, he looks at Luna with other meanings behind it.

Luna smiles before she turns her face back to Hero. Squatted down, she caresses on Hero's fur.

"Red or purple, Hero? Which one you think s.e.xier?" yes, she asked the opinion of the dog about her lingerie for tonight.

Hero looks at her for a second before he licks his lips and continues to eat again. 'Whatever mama..'
