The sage look in his eyes frightened her.
"Henry McCarthy.' He spat out the name in a voice dripping with wenom.
Kira was dumbfounded
Austyn's father was responsible?
How?
Why?
Why would he hurt his own wife?
Kita couldn't help but ask.
Austyn was reluctant to go into details.
He would fly into a rage every time the topic came up.
But he knew Rica was just showing concern
"He poisoned Mom's food,' he said simply.
After Charlotte was diagnosed with MODS, the doctors carried out an extensive study of her living environment to try to identify the underlying cause. They examined her diet, her exercise routine, her clothing, and her room.
They ruled out sepsis, physical trauma, severe hums and six other possibilities.
The only plausible cause that remained was poison
Kira trembled at the menacing look on Austyn's face.
She knew it wasn't directed at her, but she was still unnerved.
And patrified.
What kind of men would polson his wife?
She knew there must be more to the story, but Austyn had clammed up.
Kira was about to say something when her phone rang
She glimpsed the caller ID and declined the call immediately.
"Who was that?" Austyn asked.
He was glad for the distraction
He was afraid he might lose his temper if he kept talking about his SOB of a father
'Gideon'
Austyn scowled. 'Has he been bothering you while I was gone?!
Kira debated telling him about the time Gideon almost forced her to get an abortion, but this did not seem like the right time.
Austyn had more than enough on his plate at the moment.
So she said simply, 'He keeps calling, but don't worry, I never pick up."
""Why don't you block his number?
'He would just get a new one and try again. I might answer it accidentally if I don't know it's him." She shrugged, 'better the devil you know.'
Sensing Austyn's anger, she held his hand. 'Don't worry. I've decided to freeze him out of my life. I'm never answering his calls again. He'll go away after a while." Austyn nodded, though he wasn't completely appeased. "You should have cut ties with him a long time ago. Staying friends with an ex? You're just asking for
trouble."
"Hey!" Kira protested. "Everybody has a past. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. It's not like you don't have your string of ex-girlfriends! "String? How many ex-girlfriends do you think I have?" "Well, there's Kayleigh, for starters'
Austyn capped a knackle on her forehead. How many times must I tell you? She's not my gidfriend. Never was, never will be.!
1. e. But what about Deborah? You can't deny she's your old flame, right? You guys were engaged. She even gave you a son.' "Kiral' Austyn gritted his teeth. "You know the boy's not my son' "Dot, though?
Kina was deliberately bring contrarian
Drawing Austyn into a meaningless spat was her way of distracting him from the miseries in his heart
It seemed to be working.
Charlotte's Dying Wish
*For all know, the DNA report could be faked," Kira continued. "You certainly have the means and connections to make it happen,
Austyn wanted to throw up his hands. "Why would take the report?"
"Beats me." She pulled a face. You know, I don't really mind if Aiden's your son. He's such a cute boy. If you wanted to bring him to live with us, I would have been
'You must be out of your mind. Austyn caught the mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "That's not funny."
"Just a thought." She shrugged. Then our child will have a big brother to play with. That's actually kind of nice."
Austyn couldn't resist pinching her nose, 'Our child will have plenty of playmates. I don't need to take in someone else's boy for that to happen.'
Kira put up both hands in mock surrender.
Her voice came out all nasal, 'Okay, okay. You win. Now move your hand off my face!!
She rubbed her nose and complained. "You must have a crab's pincers for fingers." 'Does it still hurt?!
"Uh-huh,
Austyn drew her in and planted a kiss onhermose. "Better?"
Kira struggled out of his arms and darted her eyes around. This is a hospital'
She looked up and was mortified. There's a CCTV camera right above us!!
"So? It's not like we're doing anything illegal. What, I can't kiss my wife in a hospital?'
"Well, you can, but I'd prefer it if you do it somewhere moor.private."Material © of .
Austynchuckled.
He placed a hand on her belly. 'How's the baby doing?"
"The baby's fine. I saw Dr Lynch two days ago. He gave me a whole bunch of vitamin pills."
Then she added, "The bump is not showing yet, but somehow, my pants are getting tighter, Elsie's feeding me five times a day-breakdast, morning tea, lunch, attempontea, dinner, not to mention the drawers full of snacks." She pulled a face. I must have put on five ke while you were gone."
Austyn smiled.
