his medical wing." "What happened?"

"The doctor said it was a simple Stomach ache. Mr. Richardson has a tendency that only allows him to consume little Alcohol, unfortunately yesterday he had gone past his limit." Chloe explained, sighing at the end.

Stepping out of the lift, Leonica stole a glance at her, despite being a mere Assistant, she could see that Chloe actually cared for Arvan.

It brought a slight smile to her lips, however, the smile disappeared with a passing thought.

What if she was the reason for Arvan's current condition? The reason why he was here, as per what Chloe had said, was because he had taken too much Alcohol, if she had been there with him, instead of running off to find Gabriel, perhaps she would have stopped him from drinking too much.

Arriving before a room, Chloe knocked twice, waiting for permission from the person inside before she opened the door and allowed Leonica in.

"Chloe thank goodness your back, Daisy's been-" Arvan had began, however shutting up when he realized that Chloe wasn't the only person stepping into the room. "Leonica?" "I'm sorry I came by without notifying you." Leonica apologized forcing a smile as she stepped forward, but before she could get near Arvan's bed, a small figure dashed in her direction, wrapping itself around her leg.

"Leonica, you came!" Daisy exclaimed, beaming up at her from her height.

Leonica smiled as soon as she recovered from the start Daisy had given her and reached down, ruffling the little girl's hair. "Hey Daisy, how are you."

"I'm fine." She quipped, but seconds later, her grin faded. "Daddy however," she patted her stomach. "He's not feeling well. The doctors say he has a stomachache."

"I heard," Leonica sighed, squatting down to Daisy's height and rubbing the little girl's head. "I'm sure your dad will be alright, the doctors here are really nice." Daisy nodded. "They are, I even got a lollipop from the nurse."

Showing Leonica the multicolored treat, the white-ette feigned surprise. "You did? Well, you have to share it with your dad, okay?" She advised with a smile. Teading Her A Lesson

"Of course I will!" She said and turned back in Arvan's direction, waving the sugar treat in the air. "Daddy, do you want to share the lollipop with me?"

"Of course princess." Arvan answered, soft smile breaking into his face as he watched hist daughter turn back to Leonica, happily informing her that he would be sharing with her.

Watching the two interact from his bed, Arvan's lips curves up into a warm smile, briefly being reminded about his late wife.

...how different were they again?

"So,"

A voice in front of him pulled Arvan out of his thoughts.

Carrying Daisy at her side, Leonica approached him.
