My Husband is a Mafia Boss✔️

149 - Had No Regrets

* * *

A week had passed, David and Diego Bronson's surgery was successful. Although they're still at the hospital recovering, both of them are already out of danger. And regarding the whole misunderstanding between Jordan and David, they decided to talk heart to heart. At first, it seemed to not work with Jordan's stubborn personality but with Diego and Joshua's effort, they finally made up. Their relationship still needs a lot of work but understanding and accepting each other's mistakes was a start.

But of course, Jordan still did a lot of unforgivable things to Daniel and especially the kids so he still went to prison. It only lasted three days as he quickly paid himself out. Diego was to experience the same fate but the Mo Family decided not to pursue the case anymore because one; it is a request from David and two; they all learned that the Omega was currently in a sensitive pregnancy. It may not seem like it but the Mo household members are all a bunch of softies. It may not be true due to their image especially Mo Laotian but he was not one who will hurt an innocent child so they were able to settle the situation with as little hassle as possible.

Days passed and they celebrated Lan's 9th birth with a simple friends and family gathering. Everything was doing fine. It was peaceful at last, that is until a piece of shocking news put everyone in unease. This piece of news was the exact same news Laotian learned the day Daniel came back. He didn't want to keep it from the Omega, however, due to the other person's request, Laotian had no choice. He was also afraid that if he told the Omega the news, it would definitely cause him pain but seeing how serious the situation was, Laotian decided to confess before it was all too late.

"I-I can't believe h-he didn't want me to know this," Daniel sniffled. After learning the whole truth, Daniel rushed to the location as soon as possible. His heart pounded aggressively and even more when he saw the man he didn't think existed before on his bed. It was only a month since he last saw but he looked even thinner than before.

Ronald Ronner, lying on the bed unconscious. If only he didn't know, the man looked like he was just sleeping. Unfortunately, the truth was far crueler. The man was fighting stage IV colorectal cancer, it had already spread to his lungs, liver, and even to his brain. It is said that he only has less than a week to live and only the support of the machine was keeping him alive after sudden multiple attacks for the past days.

"Laotian, what are we going to do?" Daniel asked, his voice trembling. He knew full well there was nothing his husband could do to save his uncle but he couldn't help but ask anyway. The doctors already told them that the disease had already spread so much for them to stop it. There was nothing they could do except wait for him to pass on.

"*sniffles* I-I have o-only just *sniffles* m-meet him. *sniffles* I-I haven't*sniffles* even s-spend enough*sniffles* time w-with him, *sniffles*" Daniel stuttered between his silent sobs that when Laotian saw this, he quickly pulled the Omega into his embrace hoping that his hug would somehow ease the pain his beloved was currently experiencing.

"He told me that it was enough that you had forgiven him," Laotian said softly, making Daniel cry even harder.

"H-He didn't need to apologize. He didn't do anything wrong," Daniel said upset. His uncle was not the one who hurt him so knowing that Ronald was the one saying sorry instead of Susan and Daniella, he couldn't help but feel angry. 'Why does it have to be his uncle?' Daniel thought as he sniffled. If only it was Susan Sullen then he wouldn't have felt this way. If it was Daniella, no matter how cruel it may sound, he would actually feel relieved if she was the one to die, not his uncle who only showed him kindness from the moment they've met.

"I know. I know, but that's not what he feels," Laotian replied, he caressed Daniel's hair while he was in his embrace. The day he learned Ronald Ronner was sent to the hospital, he was still able to talk to him, and just by the look of his eyes, Laotian knew he had no regrets in his life or whatsoever, that he had already let go of everything and moved on. Ronald talked about how thankful he was that Daniel came to find his own happiness despite what he had been through and that he was even able to forgive him. He, who could have helped him if he tried to contact his sister. He could have been there for Daniel when he most needed it, but he wasn't.
