Baby Cupid: Could You Be My New Mommy (or Miss, My Father loves you)

Chapter 16 It Hurts

The driver drove to the hospital at a fast but steady pace.

Benjamin was crouching in his father's arms as tears streamed from his pained eyes. "Mommy, it hurts..."

It wasn't the first time that he got sick, but it was the first time that he had a mother to share his pain. Now that Daryl was by his side, he wanted to ask for a motherly comfort, just like the other kids his age.

Her heart ached upon hearing that tiny excruciating voice. Daryl leaned closer to him and stared at him softly.

Her usually bright face was overwhelmed with worry and anxiety. She slowly reached for his hair and rubbed it gently. "It'll be alright soon. We'll arrive at the hospital in no time. You can wait, right? After all, Bennie is a very brave kid." She tried to speak stably despite the burning in her eyes. Even though Daryl wanted to be strong for him, his pain was too much for her that she burst into tears.

Zack neither refrained his son from crying, nor did he ask Daryl to go back to her seat.

"Mommy, don't cry. I don't feel the pain anymore."

He lied to comfort her.

Daryl felt like a cry baby for tearing up easily. She quickly wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled at the child. "I'm sorry about that."

Soon after, they arrive at the hospital. With a sense of urgency, Zack got out of the car with Benjamin in his arms and strode inside the emergency room. After his well-built figure was Daryl.
