SISTER IN LAW

THIRTY FIVE: I HAVE A SON?

FREDERIK'S POV

"My son, he needs you."

After saying those words, she fainted in my arms.

I do not know how to react to the information she just dropped like a bomb that exploded in my brain.

She has a child? How come...

I was brought back to my senses when Art tapped me on the shoulder.

"Man, I think we need to go to the hospital," he said and Leysa's cellphone suddenly rang. I reached for it.

It's her mom, without hesitation --I answered it. But before I could speak, her Mom spoke immediately.

["Leysa, where are you... please, Leyson needs you now. He is running out of blood. He needs blood. Please."]

And that's where I got busted yet I suddenly felt something just pinched my heart. I heard how her Mom cries.

"Which hospital?" I asked. Mrs. Frank on the other line fell silent a little while, but he spoke immediately.

["Manila Doctors."]

So quickly carried Leysa in bridal style, because she was still unconscious and got in my car. I know my friends are just at the back following us.

In a few minutes we reached the Hospital immediately.

Fortunately, there is an immediate stretcher waiting for Leysa. Because she is still unconscious. She was immediately directed to a private room after being examined, due to fatigue and stress that’s why she fainted.

I looked for Aunt Ysabela, Leysa's mom.

They are outside the operating room. They were all there, even my Grandfather. What's the meaning of this? My parents are there too. What the?

But before I became hysterical here my Grandfather immediately approached me.

"Your son needs you." And it was like an alarm that I ran in front of the doctor who had just come out of the Operating Room.

"What I need to do Doc? He needs blood? I can give all the blood he needs... please," I said. The doctor looked at Leysa's parents.

"He is the father, doc. He is compatible. I am sure of it," Leysa's father suddenly replied.

So without a word I was admitted to the operating room. Wearing protective gears and then, I saw the kid --laying in the bed, sleeping soundly but I could hear his heartbeat... its getting slower.

And I already saw this boy, in the supermarket. Yes, the boy who really looks like me. Damn it! He was really mine.

The process was quick because I did not have any illness or vice that could trigger unhealthy blood. So they performed the blood transfusion, right away. They would have given me anesthesia but then I refused, even though it was debilitating still I just wanted to stay conscious and looked at him, while I am giving him my blood, to extend his life, to meet and play with me.

A few more hours passed after my son's blood transfusion was completed. Yes my son, I have also rested. I chose to rest in the same room where Leysa was.

I opened my eyes. I looked around the room, no one except me and Leysa, who was still sleeping. She is still unconscious.

So I stood up, and slowly approached where she was. I sit down beside her. I held her hand, massaging it. And then i looked at her sleeping face. I talked to her. I still feel annoyed because she hid my son from me. But I love her so much to forgive and understand her, easily.

"You are really unfair to me. You kept my child to me for almost six years. How could you do that? I should have been with you when she was growing up inside you. And when you gave birth to him and while he was growing up. Hmm… Leysa, my stubborn queen. What I should do to you... but don't worry, baby ... our son is fine now. He is now stable." I said to her even though she was still asleep.

I was just in that position when her parents and my parents, Grandpa and Don Leonardo and my friends came in. But I was even more surprised when the police officers entered. What's happening again?

They all looked at me.

"What's happening?" I asked.

"Man, it is still unknown where the kidnapper took your child," David replied and I looked at him to my surprise. Because as far as I know our son is in the ICU and is now recovering.

"What? My son was kidnapped? But he was just with me earlier and he is in the ICU. How was he kidnapped?" I asked in shock, damn it! What is the security value of this hospital, if something like that just happened.

My mom came over and grabbed me by my arm and shook it.

"Your son is perfectly fine now, son. But your daughter... she is still in danger." I was even more confused, frowning when I looked at them all.

Grandpa came over and punched me.

"Stupid... you have a twins. So don't give us that look, Fred. (He looked at Daddy) What kind of upbringing did you do to that boy, Fernando? He didn't even bother to hire an investigator to know Leysa's whereabouts in 6 years. What are you doing with my money? Getting it old inside the trunk? Tss." He said preaching me, but I do not have time to listen to him. All I can think about right now is, "We have a twins, damn. You really are a sharp shooter, Fred"

"I did. I hired a private investigator before, Grandpa. I even visited her in Spain. But then I saw how she was living happily there that time. So I stopped until after 3 years, I tried again to find her. Wanting to know if she's really doing fine, but I can't trace her anymore. But wait, who kidnapped my daughter?" I explained and asked them to better understand what is happening.

"When the accident happened early this morning, that was also the time the girl was captured. We think it’s the same person, the culprit who hit and run the boy and the one who kidnapped the girl. And ten hours have passed but no track. We can still trace the whereabouts of the owner of the car that hit your child, but it's not registered and we have not received any calls from the kidnapper." The Police officer explained.

"Who’s incapable to do this?" Franco suddenly said. I looked at him.

"Diana… I am 100% sure, she was the one behind to all of this. She escaped from the hospital, yesterday night." I blurted out sounding so sure about my hints. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Leysa's mother suddenly burst into tears.

"This was my entire fault. It was my fault so it happened to my daughter and grandchildren. If I hadn't thought of adopting then, she would not have been involved in our family." She said with anger and regrets, she was just hugged by Uncle until Don Leonardo approached her.

"It's not your fault that you adopted a child, Ysabel. So don't blame yourself." And those words calmed Mrs. Frank.

***

We are all worried about the condition of our daughter, I almost prayed to all the saints, just to save my daughter. I have not even seen her or even known her, and then this will happen.

I looked at Leysa's face when her hand I was holding moved. She slowly opened her eyes.

She burst into tears as she looked at me. We are the only ones here in the room because my mother and Leysa's mother are in the ICU and watching over my son. While Dad and Uncle John were with my friends, they were at the police station to cooperate to quickly find my daughter. Don Leonardo and my Grandfather, Don rafael? I do not know where they are, they suddenly disappeared, I do not know those old people are thinking.

I wiped the tears from Leysa's cheeks.

"Shh. Frederik Leyson, our son was already fine. He was in the ICU for further examination, making sure there were no complications. And Mommy and Aunt Ysabela were there. But our daughter, Freda Ysabel, no news yet... but there at the police station, Dad and Uncle and my friends are helping to find a lead. Don't worry, it will all be fine, baby. I promised you that." I told her, she smiled even though tears were still dripping from her eyes.

"Sorry," was the only response she said. I just shook my head and smiled.

"You don't have to. I should be the one to apologize because I did not know and I didn’t even do something to know more about you for almost six years. But still thank you so much for taking good care of them. Let me, I will do everything just to find our princess. I love you so much, Leys..." I replied and kissed her hand.

Later, someone suddenly entered the room; I looked badly at the person who just entered.

"Hey, don't look at me like that, Man. (It’s Edward, my long lost best friend because he didn't even contacted me for the past years. What a friend! I saw him looked at Leysa’s direction.) Hey mi amore, whats up? What kind of trouble is this going on?, my babies, what just happened to them. It's your entire fault, Frederik." And he is about to punched me, and I am willing to accept it wholeheartedly when someone entered the room, a pregnant foreign woman.

"Hey, stop it, Edwardo!" she called Edward’s attention. What the?

I looked at Edward who just looked and even raised an eyebrow at me.

"Commander in chief?" I asked as he smiled, at the same time approached the woman and nodded.

So he is already married, that’s great. I just smiled.

"What are you smiling about? You are that happy knowing that I am already a married man, why? Are you still threatened with my presence beside mi amore? Anyway, let's go and find my baby Freda. My wife will take care of Leysa," he just said and pulled me out. I turned to Leysa. She just smiled at me but I was still unsure, as if something was wrong. But I also need to find my daughter, as soon as possible. Because I might not be able to forgive myself when something bad will happen to her. I looked at Ed's wife and she just smiled and nodded, making sure she would take good care of Leysa.
