Taming Mr. Cold and Arrogant

The search for Francine and Dino took almost a week, until I received a call from Bryan about the location of Francine's car. 

I was just so annoyed that Daniel didn't leave my side as I talked to Bryan. He wanted to listen to our conversation so I spoke Italian so he couldn't understand.

But a piece of bad news faced us all after that call. Francine's car finally found in San Bernardino City, almost one hour of drive from Los Angeles. We all rushed to where her car was found but there's were all met with shock and panic when we arrived at the place. 

Dino and Francine met an accident based on the car's condition. We called the police department closest to the area, but they said the people involved in the accident have been rushed to the nearest hospital.

Alex suddenly punched the hood of his car but Daniel was fast to stop him. I immediately hugged Rian as she was also shaking in panic and gave her a bottle of water.

When they were both calm, we rushed to the nearest hospital to find out the condition of the child. Daniel and I went back into being quiet again when we got back inside the car until we reached the hospital.

"Miss, where can we find the patient named Dino Joshua Imperial?" I asked the nurse in the reception area.

"May I know what's your relationship to the patient, Ma'am?" 

I turned to them and Alex answered the nurse's question.

"I'm his father!" 

"Patient Imperial is still in the emergency room, Sir." she politely said and pointed the way to the emergency room.

When we reached the emergency room, the hospital staff didn't allow us to go inside, so we had no choice but to wait outside with some relatives of the patients inside the emergency room.

"Alex.." 

I glanced at Rian who patted her husband's shoulder. 

"He will be okay." She said as she took a seat next to him.

"I'm sorry, baby." Alex took her hands.

"For what?"

"For all of this. I made a big mistake and I dragged you into this mess."

"Alex, we're a couple, we're together in this marriage. Whatever your problems, those are my problems too. And stop mentioning about the mistakes you've made because they were all in the past. We're now in the present and our future depends on it."

I watched as they hugged each other and a smile formed in my lips when Alex uttered a simple 'I love you' while kissing her wife's forehead.

"Relatives of patient Imperial.." 

We all rushed to the doctor who came out of the emergency room.

"I'm his father." Alex introduced himself and we listened to their conversation.

"Sir, your son has suffered serious injuries due to the accident."

We were all shocked by the news

"And he needs an immediate blood transfusions because of the amount of blood he lost----"

"I am his father, I can donate blood to him!" Alex interrupted the doctor.

"Okay Sir, but we need to check first if your blood type is match to the patient."

"I can also donate if my blood match with him." Rian said grabbing her husband's hand. 

"Ohh..." She sighed looking upset.

"I'm not pregnant, you can take my blood sample too." 

They all looked at me as if what I said was too shocking. I just shrugged my shoulder.  

"Okay Ma'am, please be ready. We will take your blood sample after five minutes." The doctor said before entering the entered the emergency room again. 

We all waited for almost ten minutes for the results of our blood samples, hoping that at least one of us could match the child's blood. 

"I'm sorry Sir, but your blood sample doesn't match the patient's blood. But the good news is, Miss del Mundo's blood sample matches him."

They all turned to me I just listened to the doctor as she continued to explain all the possible reasons why my blood matches with the kid. 

Daniel was frowning when I came out of the emergency room, but he stood up when he noticed me walking towards their seats.

I just let him hold me while taking my seat next to him.

I was surprised by his gesture but I chose not to give him a snap.

"Yeah, slightly." I answered shortly.

"Take a rest, we're going home after this."

I tried not to laugh at him. I just bite my lips and avoided his gaze. Actually, I know why he does it, of course it's just a show for everyone.

"That f.u.c.k.i.n.g bitch! She just used me for money!" 

We all turned to Alex when he suddenly cursed after he learned the truth that Dino was not his child.

Myla, Francine's ex-lover came to the hospital and told us the truth that Dino was not even Francine's child. She just adopted the kid because his real mother had already left him.

I don't understand what kind of mother would leave her child just for money. Actually, we have the same story, my mother also left me when I was young. 

"I don't know." Alex said and he turned to Dino's sleeping figure.

"I have a suggestion." They all turned to me. "Maybe Alex and Dino can take another DNA test. You can use----"

"And what for? We already know that his not the real father of the child?"

I arched my eyebrow when Daniel cut me off.

"Well, Mr. Kelley if you want to know my reason, then let me finish my statement!" I said looking at him seriously. "Yes, we already know that he's not Alex's child, but since he has no other relatives maybe they can file a petition for adoption."

"Well, she has a point there." Dani said turning to them.

"I always have a point, Mr. Kelley." I said raising mu eyebrow.

"Not all the time, Mrs. Kelley."

I was surprised by hearing the words 'Mrs. Kelley'. It was the first time he had called me by that name. I gulped as I stared right through his eyes. He stared back at me and we missed the sharing of looks of the couple inside the room. We were just pulled back into our world when we heard Dino's cry.

"Mommy.. where are we going? huhu.."

We all rushed to him as he turning his head from side to side. 

"Oh my God! I'm gonna call a doctor!" I said and was about to run towards the door when Daniel pulled my arm.

"No, stay here. I'll call the doctor."

I was left speechless until he disappeared from our sight. Rian gave me a smirk but I just rolled my eyes. I already know what she's thinking.
