Chapter 203: Lipstick mark

"Does it mean t-they found another way to save me" Dante was still hesitant when he asked her. He just hoped that whatever he was guessing doesn’t turn out to be a false hope.

"Yes dad, you can be cured" Grace didn’t beat around the bush and confessed.

Dante gape at her in shock. Did he just hear it right? Did they finally find a way to get him out of this pain?

Grace saw the confusion marred all over his face and without waiting for a further due, she went on telling him everything about the surgery and also the pros and cons. She didn’t hide anything from him and wanted him to understand the positives behind the option.

Once she was done, Grace let him sink into the information. All she wanted was for him to see it as a positive way of getting his life back.

Grace observed him for some time and when she couldn’t see him respond she asked," W-will you agree to the surgery dad?"

Dante was stuck in his own thoughts when Grace’s voice snapped him out of the trance and he turned his head to meet her hopeful eyes.

All these years, he wished to fix his relationship with Grace, so he would finally follow his wife Sera to the other life. When he found out about his tumor, he thought he wouldn’t be able to fulfill his wish but god help him and Grace came to realize her mistake, taking a step to mend their relationship.

He was so grateful that he couldn’t stop thanking god for fulfilling his first and last wish. But as the days went by and he saw how much he missed his entire life, he became greedy asking for more time than he already had, which is why he agreed to the treatment.

Because the greed inside his heart increased even more. But then again he was given a reality check when his body started to deny the effects of the medicines and he again started to lose hope.

Will it again happen this time, if in his greed he agrees to opt for the surgery? Will his little bit of time get snatched in a go if the surgery wouldn’t get successful?

So many questions arouse in his mind that he felt like a hopeless man who couldn’t fight the course of fate.

But then, he couldn’t let his daughter’s single wish be left unheard. The way she was hopefully waiting for his answer made his greed again surge up. He didn’t have the heart to see his daughter cry like the other day when she found out about his illness.

It broke his heart into pieces and he didn’t want her to go through that emotional stress again where she would lose her mind and blame herself for being so late to know her father. He couldn’t let her do that.

"I agree," he said without hesitation and deep inside kept praying to god to fulfill her one last wish which is now... also his.

"Dad agreed" Trevor texted Taylor who was having some family time. The moment he read the message, a pleasant smile appeared on his lips that didn’t go unnoticed.

"Dad... what’s with that smile and who are you texting?" Noah looked at his father suspiciously catching everyone’s attention.

Anna and Alice who were busy talking turned their attention towards Taylor after listening to Noah’s voice.

Squinting her eyes sharply Anna questioned her husband," Taylor!! who are you texting?"

Anna was always possessive of Taylor’s handsomeness because the man still looked quite young for his age and more so she couldn’t trust the woman around who kept throwing themselves on charming men.

Startles by Anna’s question Taylor quickly came to defend himself, brushing off her suspicion," Darling it’s Trevor nobody else. See..." he showed her the text they exchanged.

"Hmm so Uncle Dante agreed to the surgery," she said while going through the text.

"Yes darling" he put on an innocent face looking at his wife who melted quickly watching his pitiful look.

Quickly turning her attention to Noah, Anna snapped," You! What with that tone? Do you take your father as you" she didn’t hold back because it was him to speak ill about her innocent husband.

Taylor smirked evilly watching Noah get bashed by his wife. Noah felt like crying listening to his mother smack him with words.

’What will Alice think of me’ he thought and turned to look at Alice who seem to be enjoying everything.

"Okay, darling now stop. Your son seems like he understood his mistake" Taylor stopped Anna from bashing their son as he could tell the boy had had enough.

Glaring at Noah briefly, Anna asked Taylor," It’s good that Dante finally agreed to the surgery" hearing Dante’s name Noah understood everything, but the clueless one was Alice.

Taylor nodded his head with a smile. Noah frowned listening to his parent’s conversation and cut in," When did this all happen, and why I am not aware of it"

Noah felt like he was been kept away from such a big revelation. Even Tristan did bother to tell him.

"How will you be aware of it when you keep enjoying your free time at the Club" Taylor muttered without thinking but soon regretted blabbering those words when Anna and Alice both looked at Noah in shock.

Taylor knew that a few days back Noah went to the club as he had his spies following him. He was afraid that Noah might go after Dylan like the other time, so he had to be cautious.

But to his surprise, nothing that sort of problem occurred, and Noah only went to pass his time as Alice was out of town. Trusting his son he asked his spy to leave from there without getting caught.

Noah was lost for words as both Anna and Alice threw daggers at him. He could handle his mother but Alice, how was he supposed to tell her everything?

"Noah Wayne! Whatever your father said just now, is it true?" Anna questioned while Alice nod her head agreeing to her words.

Just when Taylor mentioned the club, she remembered the lipstick mark she had seen on Noah’s t-shirt. This thought had entirely skipped from her mind but now that Taylor bought up this topic, she couldn’t stop herself from questioning it.

"And whose lipstick mark you had on your t-shirt that day?" Alice’s question took everyone by surprise as they turned their head at her looking with their mouth wide open.
