A Mistake… A Baby!

Alessandra was making her way into the center of hamlet when she became aware of the sound of the police car and what appeared to be a disturbance. She has recently returned from the pet shop to her home. She came face to face with a neighbor she knew who appeared to be in great fear.

“Ma’am, may I ask what’s the matter? What exactly is going on?” Because of the other sounds going on around them, she had to raise her voice.

“Sandy! You need to make sure everything is well at your apartment! The neighborhood was being patrolled by the police because someone had broken into the house and was attempting to steal goods. I overheard someone on your block saying it,”

She exhaled loudly. Despite her anxiety, she was unable to reach her father on the mobile phone. She was overcome by her anxious feelings. She was aware that her father had arrived home by this point during these events. And it’s possible he’ll have a restful night. What if the robber managed to infiltrate their apartment unit?

She was advised not to enter their neighborhood by the other neighbors in the village, but she insisted on going in anyhow. She hurried her steps as she made her way to their unit. But all she could see were law enforcement officials attempting to secure the area. From what she has overheard, an outsider has made his way into the village and is currently attempting to steal money as well as any other important items that he can get his hands on.

“Dad! Where are you!” She made an effort to yell out her father’s name as loudly as possible to the crowded people. The officers are really preoccupied with their investigations and checks at the moment.

The officers are attempting to detain her, even though all she wanted to do was enter their flat. But, their abode has some limitations.

“Dad!” She is so upset that she can’t stop crying because she is concerned for her father. It appears to her that there is blood on the streets. What if her father engaged in combat and is now in a life-threatening situation as a result?

“Have you seen my dad?” She questioned Eric, who was also searching for information from the crowd.

The elderly man seemed to be in the gloom. “I am so sorry to hear that, Sandy. But, I didn’t see your father,”

She was in a melancholy state and cried. She is completely unconcerned about how she looks at the moment. Alessandra was left with no choice but to enter their home to determine whether or not her father was still there and whether or not he required her assistance. Alessandra dashed through the gate and inside their apartment as quickly as she could. When the locals saw what she had done, they all yelled her name, and a police officer tried to stop her, but she was able to get away from him swiftly.

She observed that the apartment was in a state of complete disarray. It appears that her first instinct was correct. The thief must loot one of these apartment units.

“Dad! What are you?” The door wasn’t locked, she had a sneaking suspicion that her father was already inside.

Oh God, what if her father is inside, and they get into a struggle, and he ends up getting killed by the robber?

She made an effort to swallow. Alessandra has one hell of a racing heart. She can observe that her palms are becoming paler.

She went ahead and opened the door. She noticed that there was blood on the tiles. Her pupils dilated, and she seemed to be experiencing the beginning stages of vertigo. She has a morbid phobia of blood.

“Sandy! What exactly are you doing here? Get away from this place!” She was certain that it was Caleb’s voice. There is no way that she is mistaken.

To prove this, she turned around and spotted him.

Nevertheless, before she could give him an answer, darkness envelops her.

“Alessandra!” It sounded like a man was screaming.

Alessandra opened her eyes and noticed that the ceiling is white. She was instantly aware that she was being treated at a medical facility. She still feels woozy. She made a motion with her hand.

She said the word “Dad” in a feeble voice.

“Oh my gosh, Sandy!” Cathryn, her best friend is sobbing loudly and hugging her very tightly. “How are you doing right now? Are you okay?” She seemed to be really anxious.

“I believe that I am doing well. But I feel dizzy. Cath… my dad. Where is he…?” She shed a tear, which fell from her eye.

“Sandy, everyone is worried about you! Why did you run when you knew that the officers were there to secure the area? Your dad won’t need any help. But here you are, in the hospital, while he is safe and sound. You have a lot of impulsive behavior,”

She experienced relief from the tightness that had been in her chest. “Thank goodness,” She turned her gaze towards her.

“Cath, how could I possibly have doubted that my father was not in the house? No one saw him. And the door to our unit is unlocked. I noticed that there was blood on the tiles. Now tell me that he is safe,”

“I was not present at the time that the robbery took place. Your father stated that he was sound asleep in his room when he became aware of a peculiar sound. Suddenly he noticed a stranger brandishing a weapon. He was conscious of the fact that he was a thief. Nevertheless, before it happened, Cade had previously witnessed an unknown person enter the apartment. Because he didn’t trust him, he decided to follow him. And he saw the thief and your father fighting one another. So big brother beat him up. And that’s why there’s blood. It’s not from your dad.” She has a grin that goes all the way up to her ears.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

What Alessandra heard left her speechless and speechless. “What?! Cade saved my dad?!” She yelled out in disbelief.

Cathryn nodded proudly. “You are absolutely correct, Sandy. My older brother, Cade, came to the rescue and helped. Not only that but the entirety of the building. He really is a hero,” What she had to say took her completely by surprise. She wouldn’t believe that Cade was the one who rescued her dad.

“Listen, next time, try not to be quite so rash, okay? I’ll be upset with you if you did this again! You caused me a great deal of anxiety. I’m so thankful that Caleb was able to see you and–” Alessandra couldn’t help but smile all the way up to her ears while Cathryn was talking, even before Cathryn had finished her sentence.

“Well, you’re right, Cath! I’m very grateful that he came to my rescue. I owe him a lot, Cath. He is my knight in shining armor,” When she recalled how Caleb had yelled her name, and how she had seen concern in his eyes, her eyes lit up with excitement.

“See? I told you that he also possesses some admirable characteristics,” Cathryn grinned.

She gazed at her with an inquisitive expression on her face. “Huh? When did I ever say that he doesn’t have any admirable traits? I am well aware that he has a lot of reasons to boast about,”

Cathryn’s eyes widened. “Really? Thank God, and you’ve seen the nice traits that he possesses! What are you going to do then?”

Once more, she cut her words off before she could finish her sentence. “Of course. Cathryn, what kind of a question is that? I genuinely am going to love him in every way possible,”

Simply recalling how Caleb had rescued her caused her cheeks to flush. At long last, it appears as though Cathryn has already acknowledged the love she feels for her half-brother Cade. Good.

Cathryn exudes a look of pure joy. “Sandy, I couldn’t be happier for you!”

“I am happy as well, Cath. This is it. Do you recall the times when we were both young? The old man predicted me? Carh, it appears that his prediction is true. He added that when I was young, around the age of ten, he told me that I was about to meet the man who was supposed to be my husband. On the same day, we moved into Santa Clara Village, and it was here that I saw Caleb. The fortune teller showed me signs that indicated he would be my savior in the end. It’s right here, Cath! He saved my dad!” She exclaimed in a joyful tone.

The smile that had been on Cathryn’s lips vanished almost instantly. “What? I had the impression that you had put an end to that foolishness a long time ago, Sandy…”

She curved her lips into a pout. “Before it actually occurred, I didn’t really take that seriously, but now that it happened, I do. The wise old man’s words look true anyway,”

Cathryn gave a slight nod of her head. Her expression clearly showed that she was disappointed. Someone else entered the conversation at this point, cutting her off before she could finish her sentence. “But Sandy, you have to be aware that-”

It was Cade who called out “Cathryn.”

The man solemnly looked at her. Even now, she has no words to adequately explain his feelings. “Alessandra. How are you doing today? Do you still feel dizzy? I didn’t know you’re afraid of blood,”

Cathryn seemed to be nervous. “But, big brother!”

Cade looked at his sister with a warning in his eyes. He appeared to be confused. Cathryn was helpless to do anything other than nod. She regarded the two of them with an uneasy expression. “What exactly is that?”

Cade did not respond to her question. “Are you okay now?” Why did the man seem so angry with her, despite the fact that it was clear that he was worried?

“I still feel woozy somehow. But I’m fine. Thanks. Anyway, where is dad?”

He straightened up some stray hairs that had been covering his face. “Don’t be concerned. Uncle is doing very well. You caused him to be somewhat concerned about you. It won’t be long before he shows up,”

She took a deep breath. She can be condescending to Cade, but she owes it to him to express gratitude in this instance.

“Cade, I am forever grateful to you for rescuing my father.” She had to swallow her pride to thank him, even though it was embarrassing. Cade merely nodded.

“No worries. You need to get more sleep, Alessandra,” After that, he got up and left the room. It would appear that Cade is dealing with a big problem in his life.

Cathryn rolled her eyes. “Ugh! I can’t stand the way things are going! Alessandra, you are so-!” She was unable to complete what she had been going to say.

Her brows furrowed in response. “Huh? Did I do something wrong?” She asked.

“You didn’t even do anything! Sleep more. Your snarky attitude is going to make my head burst any second now. Ugh!” Cathryn fixed her with an intense gaze.
