have a lot to talk about, but your health
Just like he had said, it was indeed the physiotherapist who was at the do comes first. I’ll see you after,” Alicia said to Zabelle who nodded, Antonio then carried Zabelle to a room so she could begin training her legs.
As soon as the physiotherapist got to work, Antonio left and headed to his study, as he suspected his parents would be waiting for him there. Just as he had suspected, they were seated in the study.
Closing the door, he walked over to the table and sat on it so he could be comfortable when his mother started asking him questions. His father knew better than to ask due to the relationship they had.
“Get on with it,” he urged his mother.
“Fiancee? When were you planning on telling us?” Alicia immediately fired. If not for the fact that she had gotten tired of her son avoiding home and decided to come there, she wouldn’t have met Zabelle. This son of hers was really annoying.
“When the time was right,” Antonio responded, and Alicia frowned.
“How would I know?” Antonio asked, which made Alicia grab one of the pillows which was on the sofa she was sitting on and throw it at her son. A pillow he easily caught.
“You know how much I’ve been clamouring for you to find a woman to settle down with, you could have at least told me, so I would have told you to stop.
“I did tell you to stop, you just didn’t listen,” Antonio retorted, and his mother glared at him, which made him grin.
“What led to her being in a coma?” William, who had been quiet all along, spoke.
There was immediate tension in the room and Alicia felt it. “Antonio,” she squinted her eyes at her son, who sighed as he understood the meaning behind her looks.
His mother wasn’t able to fully mend the relationship between the father and son, no matter how much she tried. When she came to terms with this fact, she made a request to her son, and that was for him to behave well to his father whenever she was around them.
“She was stabbed by a man who wanted to take advantage of her Antonio responded. There was no need for his parents to know the details surrounding the incident, as that was between him and Zabelle.
“Where is…”
“He’s dead,” Antonio responded before his mother could finish asking her question. Alicia nodded in satisfaction.
“Oh, and by the way, she belongs to the Pierce family. She’s the daughter of Lily and Gabriel,” he casually dropped at bombshell.
“How is that possible? They only have two children,” Alicia frowned.
“No, they have three, but they never show the first one,” William corrected his wife. “She’s the first child, isn’t she?” he inquired and Antonio nodded in affirmation.
