Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Adrian and Katherine looked at each other\'s faces when he mentioned security guards.

" By the way, where are Ruby and Aunt Maria?" He asked both. Then he continued, " We should be careful about their security. That Grayson is a monster in the form of a human. He has no ethics. He will try to harm anyone to get Katherine…."

" Ruby and Mom are at Steven\'s place. I asked him to help. And he only arranged security guards for us" Adrian said.

" I think that guy is a very kind person who understands our problem and is willing to help us," Martin said. 

"Yeah...He is a very good person " Adrian replied but Katherine was silent. She was tense about Martin\'s reaction to Steven\'s relation with him.

" Kathie...Are you still worried about Sam?" Martin asked her as he noticed her pale face. 

" I am okay…" she lied and lowered her eyes. He sat beside her and said, " Be strong. Hope for the best…" she gave a small smile at him and blinked her eyes.

…..

After an hour, Steven came to the hospital to meet Adrian and Katherine. He wanted to inform them about the time of departure to shift little Sam. He was stunned to see Martin with them when he reached the incentive ward. 

" Hello...Mr. Steven, How are you? " Martin greeted him. 

" Fine…" Steven replied.

" Thanks for helping my friends. I will be grateful to you, " Martin said and shook his hands. Steven stayed silent and didn\'t understand what to say. But inside his heart, he felt happy for his words. Adrian and Katherine were silent and were watching them quietly. 

Steven remembered his purpose for the visit. He turned his head towards Adrian and informed, " We have to shift little Sam tomorrow. I arranged the private jet for our journey" 

" Thanks for everything. It\'s because of you, I have hope for my son\'s recovery. " Adrian replied and hugged him. 

"Mr Brown…"

One guard called Steven. For which Steven broke the hug with Adrian and looked at the guard. " What? " Steven asked in a serious tone.

"Mr Brown… we got the information from our sources that Grayson\'s men were already in the hospital. We should be very alert…" The guard said.

" okay. Don\'t allow any stranger into this ward. I want more guards around the building to guard. And mostly the security guards should not go anywhere, leaving this floor. Even if it is a doctor and nurse, check thoroughly their clothes, bags and shoes…" Steven instructed him.

" Okay… sir " he obeyed and left the place. 

Katherine who heard their conversation was terrified and held Adrian\'s arm tightly. " Kathie...I am with you… don\'t worry…" Adrian said, placing his hand around her waist.

" I don\'t want anything to happen to anyone because of me…" She retorted. " Kathie...this is not the time to run away, instead we have to face it. We are in a situation where we have to fight against that bastard or die in the fight, " Adrian said seriously.

" Yes...Kathie. He is right." Steven said. Then he asked her, " Grayson will chase you wherever you hide. Do you want to live all your life in fear of him? " 

" What if anything happens to Adrian! " she asked Steven. 

" Kathie...stop thinking like a coward. And think wisely like my old Kathie who always used to be my strength and my support. " Adrian said. 

" So...you think of me as a coward. Can\'t you see my love for you? " she questioned him with tear-filled eyes. He closed his eyes and sighed. He doesn\'t want to hurt her feelings. But he was annoyed with her dreadful fear of that bastard. He believes our fear is the weakness of others.

" I didn\'t mean it...Kathie. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings. Listen carefully, our fear is the strength of our enemy. Be strong and let me think about what should be the next step…" he explained to her.

" He is right, Kathie. Let us end the Grayson chapter forever…" Steven also supported Adrian. Martin who was standing with them was in deep thought. 

" What is your opinion? " Adrian asked Martin. He came back to reality and said, " You are right in one way. But we can\'t believe strangers in this matter."

" What do you mean? " Adrian asked doubtfully.

" Going against Grayson without a proper plan is very risky. And I don\'t know how far Steven will support us in this matter. Most importantly I don\'t understand why this person is helping us, " Martin said, looking sceptical at Steven.

" Still I don\'t understand why the topmost businessmen are interested in us leaving his company\'s work, " he added.

Three of them looked at each other\'s faces without replying to his question. When they were silent, Martin asked, " What if this is Grayson\'s plan by double-crossing us with the help of Steven? " 

" You have mistaken me, Martin. I will never do such things with you all. I want to help you people. I am here….to…." Steven stopped in the middle without finishing the last sentence.

" You are here to…..what? " Martin inquired, looking at him sceptically. " Don\'t try to lie because I am observing from the start. First, you tried to befriend Ruby then slowly you helped Adrian in his business. Now you are helping as if you are his childhood friend" he continued asking the questions.

" Tell me, the truth…." Martin yelled at him. Steven was feeling restless with his questions. He had no courage to disclose his identity to Martin. He was scared to face his reaction. He gulped his throat and looked at him silently.

" Martin… you can trust me that I am of no harm to you all…" Steven said in a calm tone. " Adrian, I don\'t trust this person. Just send him away. I promised Uncle Luther that I will protect Ruby and Kathie from that bastard," Martin said in a strict tone.

" He is of no harm, " Katherine opened her mouth and looked at Martin with guilt. Martin gave a quizzical look and asked, " how can you be sure? "

" I am sure because he is Steven Brown, your stepbrother…" she said, lowering her head.. Martin looked furiously at Steven then looked at Kathie with hurt.
