Deep love: insatiable lover

Chapter 469: Candy is sick



It was enough for Dylan to finally hear his daughter’s response, even if her voice was weak.

His eyes were full of emotion as he caressed his daughter in his arms and asked, “Is Candy having a bad time? Be good, daddy has called Uncle Lucas, he’ll be here soon.

-Dad, what’s wrong with me? Am I sick? I’m very uncomfortable and hot.

Cecilia’s voice was extraordinarily hoarse and weak, and it was difficult to hear Dylan’s heart.

I had never thought that such a cold and indifferent version of himself would have such a day.

-It’s okay, baby Candy just has a slight fever. I’ll give you a shot when Uncle Lucas is done and we’ll be fine after we take the medicine. It’s okay, daddy’s here, daddy’s with you.

Cecilia was stunned, and when she heard her father’s gentle attentions, the fear and longing for her mother that had been hidden deep in her heart suddenly surfaced.

-Dad, I miss mum so much. When is mum coming back, anyway? Dad, I really miss mum.

Cecilia leaned into Dylan’s arms and repeated it over and over again.

Hearing his daughter call her mother, Dylan’s heart felt as if he had been stabbed.

-I’m sorry honey, daddy will make sure to speed up and get mommy back. Don’t worry, mum will be fine. Sweets will be fine too, daddy is with you.

Dylan could only comfort his daughter again and again, kissing her forehead again and again.

For him, the time before Lucas’ arrival was the hardest part of the ordeal.

When he finally arrived, the first thing he saw were Dylan’s sharp, hate-filled eyes, unconsciously wiping his neck.

-I got here in the shortest possible time,” he explained. I happened to meet with a car accident and a traffic jam. That’s all I had to save on the way to get here, otherwise….

-Cut the crap and come and check on Candy.

Dylan interrupted Lucas’s long speech and with a glance made him immediately approach him with his own first aid kit.

The temperature was taken and it was thirty-nine degrees two.

-The fever is too high and needs to be physically cooled first. Everything is in my kit, get it out and I will do the physical cooling of the child.

-I will do it.

Dylan, worried that Lucas had never looked after a child before and might hurt Cecilia, cut him off immediately.

-OK, you do it, you do it, you do it. You should know about physical cooling, right? It’s all about rubbing Candy’s armpits, palms and feet first with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, over and over again, don’t stop…

-I know.

Dylan said with a frown.

Of course I would do such a small thing.

-Dad, I’m uncomfortable.

Cecilia, dazed and half asleep, saw that it was Dylan standing in front of her and immediately pouted softly.

-Sweet baby be good, daddy will give you a physical cool down. The fever will come down later, let’s just hang in there for a while, okay?

-Mmm.

Cecilia nodded vigorously; as long as Dad was there, she was fine.

-Good girl.

Dylan smiled and reassured his daughter, giving her a kiss on the forehead before starting to pull out his tools to physically refresh her.

He was relentless, he kept repeating it over and over again.

Every half hour, Lucas takes Cecilia’s temperature again and, thanks to Dylan’s efforts, it is improving. The fever gradually broke, and by five o’clock in the morning, it was almost gone.

-Take care of yourself for the next few days and don’t let Candy catch a cold. Also, don’t stay in a stuffy place all the time and keep the room ventilated. Also, the girl may be too dependent and sensitive to you because of what happened to Vanessa, so keep an eye on her.

At Lucas’ words, Dylan’s eyes turned worried.

He had noticed the change in his daughter, but worried that if he was too obvious about it, it would make her even more uncomfortable, so he had to restrain himself.

-I know.

-All right then, I’ll go back first.

Lucas finished, patted Dylan’s shoulder in consolation and turned to leave.

He was also tired after a long night.

Dylan stood in the doorway for a while, more awake in the cool morning breeze, before turning back.

Cecilia had managed to sleep peacefully and Dylan didn’t dare leave for long. He was afraid that she would wake up in the middle of the night and get scared and worried if she didn’t see him again.

She approached the head of the bed and felt her daughter’s temperature with her hand before leaning over and placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

-Sleep, darling.

After a few moments, Dylan walked cautiously to the balcony and gently closed the door behind him, leaving only a crack.

Staring at the white fish belly in the distance, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and called Mateo.

-How is the search going?

-We have the other guy’s identity, we have a good idea of his usual route, and our guys were there the night before. Also, I’ve sent people to the place they originally used as a staging area, and they’ll be captured as soon as they show themselves.

-Well done.

Dylan hooked his lips into a cruel smile.

Five days had passed and at last there was a glimmer of good news.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

How could Dylan not be happy?

But when he thought of his daughter, who was still sick and suffering, all that happiness in Dylan’s heart instantly turned to cold murderous intent.

If he dared to show himself, he would be caught.

At this point, Dylan was unaware that the clues they had found were of little use at the moment.

After a night of unconsciousness, when the driver and Orlando woke up, they had searched the area and found no trace of Vanessa.

-I thought you said this place was so remote that no one usually comes here. So why can’t we find it after searching for so long and over such a wide area?

Orlando asked with a sombre look on his face as he stared at the driver.

-I was unconscious so long, and what if he took the opportunity to escape? It was not my fault, and it is useless for you to be angry with me.

Orlando knew the other man was right, but how could he admit it?

As far as he was concerned, he had paid the money and the other man had to look after him as if he were a grandfather. But he didn’t know that the people he was looking for, despite being at the bottom, were all capable and not the kind where money is milk.

They also have temperament.

If they hadn’t screwed up and tarnished their reputation, they would have left Orlando behind and gone their own way.

-What now? The man is gone, my plan has failed, and you don’t want the rest of the money.

-Why don’t we find a place to rest for a while, with all these wounds, we’ll be dead before anyone finds us. Don’t worry, I have brothers on my side, I’ll ask them to help us look for her while we recover.

-Of course.

Orlando’s body was also in a lot of pain, after all, both he and the driver were badly injured.

It had come to this, and there was only one step to take.

“Huh. I didn’t think Vanessa would be able to pull herself together enough to save herself.”
