Chapitre 15: Chapter 15 DINO

STELLA’s POV

“Dino…” I called out upon entering his hospital room.

I saw him lying down in bed with different tubes connected on different parts of his body. I pulled a stool and sat beside him at the bed and grabbed his hand.

“Stella…” he whispered, squeezing my hand in his. “I’ve been waiting you for hours already.”

“I’m sorry, Dino. I just got out from work. How are you feeling?” I asked, brushing my left hand over his blonde hair.

“Feeling better, now that you’re here.” He gave me a small smile but I caught a glint of sadness in his eyes before he looked away. “When will Debra and mom going to visit me?”

Dino was the son of Aunt Lucy from another man. She kept it a secret from dad when he was still alive. One month after dad passed away, she brought Dino to our house. He said, Dino's father died so she got no choice but to bring him home. Dino was only 12 back then, and now he's 15. Technically speaking, Dino and I were not blood related but I treated him as my own brother.
