My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 272

He was short, so he could move amongst the crowd. A while later, he disappeared from Lucas’ sight.

“Young Master Alden!”

Lucas was distressed.

Young Master Alden had disappeared from his sight. He had not been kidnapped, had he?

Lucas did not even have time to think about why Alden would come to the hospital.

He kept searching the crowd, but he still did not spot Alden after more than ten minutes. Just as he planned to ask for help in the hospital’s broadcasting room, he heard a voice behind him. “Uncle Lucas, are you looking for me?”

Lucas turned around. When he saw that Alden was uninjured and standing behind him, his tension finally eased. “Young Master Alden, where have you been? You scared me.”

“I went to buy some Band-Aids.” Alden raised the items in his hand. “My mom’s feet are worn out from wearing high heels. I went to buy her some Band-Aids.”

Lucas wiped his face. “There are Band-Aids at home. Why did you travel so far?”

Alden looked down and did not speak again.

“Young Master Alden, let’s get into the car. We’re going back.”

Alden nodded obediently before he followed Lucas and entered the car.

He sat in the back passenger seat and turned to the side. He looked out the window at the scenery that moved past him while he recalled what the doctor had said.

“The result of the paternity test will be out in a week. Even if we rush it, you’ll still have to wait for at least three days.”

In other words, he needed to wait for three more days before he could discover if Duke was his and Melody’s father.

……

Duke usually came home from work at about 10.00 pm.
