Episode Sixty-Two
Devon sat beside Flynn in the car no matter how much he protested and insisted on driving his boss who didn’t mind him and had another man drive the two of them back to the hospital.
Flynn sighed deeply, stretched his hand, and reached out for Devon’s shoulder. Devon gasped slightly and bowed slightly, “boss,” he whispered.
“I am sorry I yelled at you earlier when all you did was save my family,” Flynn patted his shoulder gently.
“No, boss. I deserve everything you do to me, my life belongs to you,” Devon shook his head and Flynn chuckled.
“I heard you sustained an injury, let me see,” Flynn said.
“Boss, it is nothing for you to worry about. It was a minor wound and I am fine already,” Devon forced a smile.
“Let me see,” Flynn groaned and Devon knows better not to argue with his boss.
He removed the back hoodie he wore slowly and Flynn gasped slightly at what he saw.
“You call this minor? Man, you are bleeding,” Flynn touched the bloodstain on the white shirt he wore.
“Boss, I am…”
“Hey, drive faster. You need to get treatment as soon as possible,” Flynn interrupted him.
“But, boss…”
“Say another word and I will get mad,” Flynn glanced at him.
Devon peeked at his boss who closed his eyes shut after what he had just said and he smiled. He felt special that his boss who hardly show his affection cared for him.

“Your husband is a real deal,” Reld shook his head as he paced around the ward.
“Knowing the kind of person he is, we all know he is never going to let it slide once he wakes up,” Camila chuckled and Melanie smiled back.
“At least, he should have waited till the next day. He regained consciousness this morning, and it is getting late already,” Reld said, obviously concerned.
“Even Devon is not picking my call. No worries, brother will be back soon,” Kyle reassured.
Melinda and Tyler watched the scene from where they sat and Melinda could see the worry spreading on her daughter’s face again.
“Melanie, your husband will be back soon. Don’t mind all these people, okay?” Melinda tried to assure her.
“Including me?” Kyle walked towards Melinda.
“Yes, so it will be better if you do not say anything anymore,” Melinda eyed him and Kyle held his chest.
“You all have started making me feel like a half cast. Mum…” Kyle whined and sat in Melinda’s leg then hugged her.
“You brat, get off my leg this instant,” Melinda hit his back.
“Now, it’s you and I forever,” Kyle clutched unto her tightly.
“You are so shameless, everyone is here with their partner. See, Tyler is here with your twin sister. Reld is here with Camila. Flynn will arrive soon and will be with Melanie. Stay there and keep clutching unto an old woman like me,” Melinda said and everyone in the room laughed loudly.
“Gosh, mum! Today, I believe I was adopted. I will wait for Flynn to arrive to tell me where my birth parents are,” Kyle pouted as he stood unwillingly from Melinda’s thigh.
“Why would you ask me that? Am I your mother?” Flynn stepped inside the room.
“Flynn!” Melanie stood from the chair and rushed towards Flynn in excitement. Flynn smiled and widened his arms for his little woman to enter and he wrapped his arm around her as soon as she fell into his warm embrace.
“I am sorry I came late,” Flynn whispered as he inhaled her scent deeply.
“I was worried. I’m glad you are back,” Melanie raised her head to look at him.
“I missed you, baby,” Flynn smiled, lowered his head, and took her upper lip in his mouth.
“You are shameless, brother. How can you be doing something like this openly,” Kyle shook his head and Melanie pulled away from Flynn, laughing.
“Why are you so bitter?” Elle hit the back of his head and Kyle winced in pain.
“Like seriously, I can’t believe you are still a bitter person. Better go get a woman and stop nagging,” Flynn said and everyone laughed.
“Man,” Flynn waved his hand at Reld then walked towards him.
“Are you nut? How could you leave the hospital when you have barely recovered?” Reld said as he shook hands with Flynn.
“I had to take care of things sooner,” Flynn answered then glanced at Beverly that was sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed.
“How is Beverly? Is she still unconscious?” Flynn turned to look at Kyle.
“No, she woke up already and slept a few minutes ago. The doctor said she is recovering fast and that there is no cause for alarm,” Kyle answered.
“So, when will she be discharged?”
“Do I know?” Kyle eyed Flynn.
“@$$h0le,” Flynn muttered and Kyle laughed.
“d@mn, bro, I’ve missed the f-__-k outta you,” Kyle laughed.
“It’s enough, go get a girl. You are too creepy,” Flynn glanced at Camila and they smiled briefly at each other.
“You are too harsh!” Kyle whined.
Melinda walked towards Flynn, held his wrist, and had him follow her out of the ward. They walked farther away from the guards watching over the ward, “babe, what is wrong?” Flynn asked as they entered the ward where he used to stay.
“Babe, what did you do to Hazel?” Melanie asked.
Of course, Flynn knew the woman was going to ask and he dare not tell her what he did to them.
“I sent her back to where she belongs,” Flynn answered and pulled her by her waist closer to him.
“Where does she belong to?” Melanie creased her brow.
“Italy. The Italian FBI will be waiting at the airport for her,” he lied and kissed her lips briefly.
“How about Zach?” she asked after he broke the kiss.
“Zach? Oh, yes, Zach. I’ve sent him to the cops too,” Flynn lied again.
“Are you sure, babe?” Melanie stared at him suspiciously.
“Yes, darling,” Flynn kissed her lips again.
“By the way…” Flynn started.
“Hazel is not Beverly’s mother,” he added.
“B…but you are her father,” Melanie creased her brow in confusion.
“She lied about it,” Flynn said then narrated everything to her.
“Gosh! She is so horrible,” Melanie gasped after Flynn had told her everything.
“I know, right?” Flynn leaned forward to kiss her lips again.
He can’t get enough of this woman at all.

Devon widened his eyes as he stared at the twenty-five missed calls from the hotel receptionist, did this woman want something else, or was she after him because of the reward money.
It’s not like he knows everything, this woman has not sent her account detail, and does she expect him to find that out himself.
As he stepped out of the ward his wound was treated, his phone rang and he sighed deeply as he saw the number vividly displayed on the screen.
“Hey handsome,” he shook his head as he heard her voice.
“Hey, it’s Tara!”
“I know. What do you want?” Devon groaned.
“What do I want? Have you forgotten you owe me money?”
“I didn’t, you didn’t send your account details,” Devon said.
“Can we meet? I want something else,” Tara said.
“Do you like me? I am sorry, I am not interested,” Devon said and Tara laughed.
“Of course, I am interested in you. But, let’s talk about that after you promise to do want I want instead of the money,” Tara answered and Devon chuckled.
“Send your account details, we promised to give money and nothing more,” Devon stated.
“Please, my life depends on it. I need to find someone,” Tara said soberly.
“Who?” Devon asked.
“My daughter,” Tara answered and Devon breathed out.
“D…daughter?” Devon asked again to be sure.
“Yes. I lost her six years ago,” Tara answered.
“S…she is dead?” Devon whispered.
“No, she was kidnapped. She was still a baby when she was kidnapped. Please help me. I need to get my baby back,” Tara cried.
“I…I will get back to you after I discuss it with my boss,” with that, Devon ended the call.
As he goes in search of his boss. He couldn’t help but think of Hazel’s story of how she stole a baby.
TBC…
