Chapter 429 - The Game Begins (1/2)
Five days later.
Hannah visited Zain inside the prison room with her son.
”You want privacy, brother?” Adam inquired about to leave the room.
”No need. Just stay inside. I will just cuddle with my son for a few minutes,” Zain said.
Adam shrugged his shoulders and mouthed an apology to Hannah.
She only smiled at Adam.
”How's my son today?” Zain used his fingers to ċȧrėss the baby's face.
The infant reached for his father's hand and began suċkɨnġ it.
”Oh no baby, you can't suck my finger, it's dirty!” he said and withdraws his fingers. He beamed at his son lovingly feeling contented gazing into his bright eyes.
Adam glances at his brother's animated face. He was wondering when his brother will leave this place? He was hoping that it won't be long 'coz he was itching to see Jessy again. He also observed Hannah's reaction while the father and son duo were enjoying their moments.
Poor Hannah!
Poor baby!
He said to himself.
Hopefully, one day, Zain can learn to love Hannah. They looked perfect together as one family and his nephew is an adorable baby that can melt anybody's heart. But he can't teach or influence how his brother should act, feel and decide. Everything has its own time and place, what matters the most was that he already took the first step of reconciliation and he was expecting a positive result out of his efforts and sacrifices.
It's all now up to his brother Zain if he will remain stubborn to the very end. Based on his calculations two years is enough to save their sibling relationship, he was hoping his brother will see his effort and sincerity and do the right thing before he will rest his case and set aside all these things to be forgotten.
Adam shifted his attention to his game console and began playing ~Race To The Top~ a game that requires a challenger to climb the highest mountains using different gear and equipment, racing against time. The allotted time limit of every climb is two minutes then it will be game over. It's one of his favorite games out of the five hundred games installed in the handheld portable game console.
Two hours later.
When Adam noticed that Hannah and his nephew was about to exit the room. ”Hannah, can I hold my nephew for just a few minutes? Pretty please?” he said.
Hannah smiled and placed her son in Adam's arms. ”There you go...”
Adam beamed while gazing at his nephew's angelic face. The infant looks healthy and his eyes shine brightly. Then the baby smiled when he saw his uncle smiling at him, his little mouth was producing cute sounds.
Adam nuzzled his nephew's chubby thɨġhs. ”OMG! You're so cute babyyyy...”
Ten minutes later.
Adam returned the baby to Hannah.
”I'm leaving now. Bye guys!” Hannah waved goodbye to the occupants of the room.
”Bye Hannah! Bye nephew!” Adam replied cheerfully. ”Visit often!” he added.
Zain just stares at the wall in silence.
Adam sank into the mattress and resumed playing his game.
One hour later.
Abigail entered the room bringing the dishes for dinner and placed them in the table. ”Brothers, time to eat your meals,” she announced.
Adam ambled towards the table. ”Thank you very much for bringing our meals, sister!”
”Happy to serve my brothers, but, I won't be doing this forever,” she joked.
”You should be eating with us, Abigail. Human dishes are appetizing and delicious,” Zain said while sitting on the chair beside Adam.
”Mom doesn't want to turn me into a human yet,” Abigail responded. ”Enjoy your meals, guys!”
The men turn their attention to the dishes and began eating in comfortable silence.
Abigail found it amusing to see her siblings eating their meals with gusto. Humans indeed had a voracious appetite while vampires like her can only stick to one dish and that is the human blood.
