WISH UPON A STORM (Montenegro Series #2)

Chapter 25

Dakota's POV.

Nagising ako sa mahinang yugyog sakin. I woke up slowly, I am still holding the rosary I used for praying.

"Do you want to move to the couch?"

I was awakened by Storm, medyo napalayo ako sa kanya ng mapagtanto ko kung gaano kami kalapit sa isa't isa.

"N-no, I'm okay here, I want to stay beside him" bumaling ang tingin ko kay Archer na mahimbing pa rin ang tulog, marahil na din sa mga gamot na ginamit sa kanya.

Archer's operation was successful, AJ really took a good care of him.

Mas napalayo kami sa isa't isa ng may pumasok sa loob.

It was Leo. He is wearing his doctor's coat and holding a chart.

"Good morning" he formally greeted us. It was so cold, I almost felt it in my bones. "I will check on Archer today since AJ needs to go back, I hope that is fine with both of you"

"Bakit hindi?" nagulat ako sa naging sagot ko sa kanya. Tumingin sya sakin, nagtama ang paningin namin and all I see is the pain he is trying to hard.

"Thank you Ms. Sy"

"Mrs. Montenegro" parehas kaming napalingon kay Storm, nakasandal na sya sa gilid ng kama ni Archer.

"Storm-

"We are not annulled and we will never get annulled, kaya I am pretty sure, my cousin knows that you are still my wife"

Leo's jaw clenched. Ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Leo then chuckled a bit.

"Stop pushing me Storm" he said in a warning tone.

"Or what?"

"Or I'll make sure that she'll be a Hermosa soon"

"Really, sa tingin mo ba gusto nya yun?" Storm stood up at straight. Nagpapalit, palit lang ako ng tingin sa kanila.

"Let's ask her then" bumaling sakin si Leo.

"Will the both of you stop?!" inis kong baling sa kanilang dalawa. "Ano bang problema nyo, anak ko ang priority ko dito at hindi kung ano mang tanong yan"

"Oh well, go back on checking our son, Doc Hermosa" Storm said in a tone na tila nagmamalaki.

Leo chuckled a bit.

"No worries Mr. Montenegro, sanay naman akong alagaan si Archer, he grew up having me, I basically raised him and acted as his father"

I think that triggered something kay Storm, he immediately went closer to Leo, akala ko sasapakin nya ito kaya mabilis akong pumagitna sa kanila.

"Please, stop both of you!"

"You just acted as his father pero hindi mo sya dugo't laman. He is my son, anak namin sya ni Dakota. Whether you like it or not, alam natin parehas kung naging ano ka sa buhay ng mag ina ko"

"Storm!"

Itinulak sya ng bahagya ni Leo at akmang sasapakin sya pero tumigil ito. He is so mad, galit na galit sya. Hindi ko malaman kung saan nanggagaling ang sakit na nararamdaman ko.

"Leo"

Humakbang sya paatras and avoided my eyes. I know he is hurting.

"Leo" I tried to hold him pero nakaiwas sya at tumalikod.

"I'll just send someone else to check on him" he said before walking out.

Hahabol sana ako ng may pumigil at humigit sakin.
