One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Have I Found That Person?

Courtney was about to call him ‘Dad’. However, the moment she heard him calling for the nurse, she was dumbstruck.

“How long have I been sleeping?”

Lucian sat up from the bed. Leaning against the bedhead, he looked like he wanted to get out of the bed.

Immediately, Courtney reached out, intending to help him. But, he shoved her away. “It’s okay. I can do it myself.”

As he said that, he got out of bed on his own and reached for his shoes. Feeling the bed with his hands, he managed to come to the end of the bed and headed toward the balcony as he slowly figured out the path through the things around him.

“The weather seems to be quite nice today.” When he reached the balcony, Courtney quickly pulled open the door for him.

“Thank you.” He nodded and went outside to the balcony. “The air is fresh. It must have rained earlier today.”

While he was talking, he stumbled. He was tripped by the chair beside his feet.

“Dad!” Courtney screamed in shock.

 

Holding onto the chair, Lucian barely got up to his feet. Turning around in disbelief, he stared in the direction where her voice came from.

“Courtney?” He looked stunned, yet his vision was blurry.

She quickly walked up and held him. “It’s me, Dad. You’re so ill. Why didn’t you tell me anything on the phone?”

Other than surprise, there was delight on Lucian’s face too. “Come here. Sit down. Why should I tell you that? It’s normal to fall sick when one ages. My condition is fine. It’s neither painful nor itchy. Apart from some inconveniences during my daily life, there is nothing major.”

He told her what happened to him with a matter-of-fact tone, but still and all, Courtney was upset listening to him.
