Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

DENNIS

I was very selective with the things I got. I made sure to get the flowers she liked and only the gifts that she would cherish.

I glanced at the flowers and gifts in the passenger seat as I drove into the hospital's compound and nodded to myself. She'd love them. I quickly found a parking spot and parked my car. Before I climbed out of the car, I reached out and took the things I'd gotten her and made my way inside.

"Mr Dennis!" One of the nurses behind the counter at the reception chirped. "You're back. It's so nice to have you back."

I nodded slowly, genuinely surprised. "Thank you," I managed a smile as I muttered. Then I made my way to Amie's room.

As I pushed the door open, Amie's gaze zeroed in on the door. Her face lit up instantly.

"Daddy!"

I quickened my pace so that she would not have the need to run up to me but she was already on her feet and had taken a couple of steps before I reached her.

"Daddy!" She repeated as she wrapped her arms around my legs. I placed the things in my hand on the chair closest to me. Then I hoisted her in my arms and pulled her in for a hug. Ahh. I've missed her so much. "I miss you so much, baby."

"I miss you so much. Why didn't you come to visit me?"

"Sorry I couldn't visit. Work has been time-consuming."

She nodded. "It's okay. I'm just happy you're here now."

I ruffled her hair. "That's my girl!"

She giggled. Then she turned to the flowers and gifts. She pointed at them, "Those are mine, right?"

I laughed. She never hesitate to claim whatever she thinks was hers.
