Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father

86. Frank’s Regret

As he opened the first photo, Frank’s defense immediately faltered. He could barely even breathe. Kara looked thin even though her belly was a bit protruded. She was smiling, but her eye bags showed

sadness.

In the second photo, her weight had even decreased drastically. The light make-up on her face couldn’t cover her tiredness and what was even more heartbreaking; she was wearing a restaurant waiter’s

uniform.

“Kara works during her pregnancy?”

Frank looked up and took a deep breath. He hoped that the pressure

in his chest could be reduced. However, tears welled up in his eyes.

“If only I hadn’t left her, she wouldn’t have had to work like this.”

Frank swallowed hard, but his mouth was dry. His throat felt sore. Clenching his fists, he tried to stay upright and look at the next photos.

Kara changed uniforms several times before finally wearing clothes. She looked very pale with bloodshot eyes. Frank di the heart to look at it. He knew it was seconds before Kara ga

to the twins.

“I should have accompanied her there, but what did I do?”

While exhaling in pain, Frank dropped his finger again. He thought burden in his heart would be reduced after the photo passed. But apparently, he was wrong.

His vision started to blur. Two seconds later, tears were no longer unbearable. The two babies in the picture had finely chopped his

TIGUEL.

Louis and Emily were lying in an incubator. Their bodies were very small, especially the baby with the pink hat. Her eyes were closed tightly as if she didn’t want to see the hoses and cables around them.

“I should have been there…. I should have kept them from getting scared. But why did I ignore them? Why …?”

Frank looked down and clenched his fists. For the first time, he fell into such a deep abyss of sadness. He kept falling and falling, without finding any ground to stand on. When his lungs couldn’t take the breath any longer, he slammed his fists onto the table.

“Enough!” His eyes were full of red streaks. “They’ve suffered enough. I have to take them home. I have to! Kara can’t refuse me anymore.”

Wasting no time, he grabbed the car key and drove to the hospital. The bodyguards at the mansion were confused to see their boss leave, just like the bodyguards who were on guard in front of Louis’ room when he arrived there.

“Sir?” Philip greeted in a whisper.

The other guards also lowered their heads. They didn’t dare comment on the boss’s reddened eyes.

“How?” Frank’s voice was hoarse.

“Everything is under control, Boss. Jeremy and the new guards are delivering Mrs. Martin home. The twins were still laughing with Miss. Martin. But now, they seem to be asleep.”

Frank nodded. A second later, he stepped in without making a sound.

Philip was right. The twins were already lying down with their eyes closed. Emily might feel empty without Yemon. She hugged her brother and Louis didn’t seem to mind. He fell asleep with his mouth slightly agape.

‘How many nights have I passed without seeing their innocent faces?’

Frank took a deep breath. His regret just multiplied.

With a dim gaze, he turned his head to the side. Kara was asleep on the couch. Her outfit was really simple, contrast to what was seen on her social media account.

Frank approached her. A moment later, he bent his knees so he could observe her face without bending over.

‘Your burden is very heavy, but why do you insist on carrying it alone?’

Frank ran his finger through Kara’s hair. He was afraid that his presence would be known. However, the turmoil in his chest kept forcing him to do so.

‘I think I now understand why you hate me so much. Your life is completely ruined because of me.”

After sighing faintly, Frank buried his lips on Kara’s forehead. He wanted to send forgiveness through there-regret, love… everything he couldn’t express in words. When he opened his eyes again, he could only whisper.

“Please give me a chance to make amends, Kara. I swear I will never leave you again.”

With teary eyes, Frank stroked Kara’s pale cheek. If only he could take away all her tiredness, he would have done it.

After that, Frank sat in the chair beside the bed. His hands were stiff when he was about to reach for Emily’s head. However, as soon as his fingers touched her long hair, his tension melted. His movements. turned gentle, as if he was touching an expensive, fragile crystal.

“My Daughter….”

Frank’s tears began to well up. When her thumb traced Emily’s thick.

“You are so beautiful, My Daughter, so much like your mother.”

After stroking Emily’s chubby cheek with the back of his finger, Frank turned to Louis. At that moment, the photos of the twins appeared in

his mind.

“My Hero ….”

Frank stroked Louis’ hair with sparkling eyes. He remembered how Louis hugged Emily in the incubator. Even though he was also cold and afraid, he still had time to protect his younger sister.

Slowly, the curve of Frank’s lips pursed. He remembered his first meeting with Louis. How could he accuse his son of being a spy? No wondered that the toddler was cold to him.

“I hope we can make peace soon and play together, Buddy. Sorry our first meeting wasn’t very pleasant.”

In silence, Frank began to imagine what things he wanted to do with the twins. The more things he thought about, the wider his lips curved.

“Be patient, Kids. Soon, we will be together. We can gather as one family.”

Frank looked at the twins expectantly. He didn’t realize that behind his back, Kara’s eyelids had lifted. Her eyes were cold and her expression was flat. Her lips trembled to hold back the rumbling breath. When she closed his eyes again, a single tear rolled down the bridge of her nose and temple.

“Mommy, I had a dream last night. There was a prince who came and kissed my hand as if I were a royal princess. He looked like Mr. Kind.”

Emily stopped talking and looked down so her mother could put her t- shirt on more easily. After her head was out of the hole, she smiled again and took a quick breath.

“In that dream, I wore a very nice dress. My smile was very wide and my heart was happy. Wasn’t that a beautiful dream, Mommy?”

Kara blinked stiffly, trying to smile. She couldn’t possibly testify that last night, Frank had kissed Emily’s hand.

“Yes, it’s beautiful,” she said dryly.

“I also had a beautiful dream, Mommy. In that dream, I has grown up and driving a cool car!”

Kara chuckled as she combed Emily’s hair. Occasionally, she glanced at the bed where his son sat while playing with the luxury phone.

“Where are you going with that car?”

Louis’ lips pursed. A moment later, he shook his head. “I don’t know. But what is clear is that Mommy, Emily, and Grandma were in the car.”

“How was your hand in the dream? You don’t wear a cast anymore, right?”

Louis’ cheeks immediately puffed up. “Of course not. My arms look strong and muscular.”

“I hope the reality will be as beautiful as that dream. Or at least, your hand won’t be crooked. I heard that a hand that has been broken can

become crooked.”

Louis grimaced in horror. “You must be lying!”

Once again, Kara chuckled. While stroking the hair she had finished combing, she explained, “Your hands won’t bend, Little Bee, as long as you don’t move too much.”

“I don’t move too much. I even plan to sit pretty all day.” The little boy nodded with round eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of laughter came from the slit of the door.
