Dr. Rivera checked his phone and read his girlfriend's last text to him, and it was about going to Naga City where she had an accident last ti. The doctor frowned, but it was only for a second before he cald himself again. "So, who among your bodyguards will co with ?"
"I'll talk to my husband first," Cayenne said while putting down her phone on the coffee table.
"I can look after your son if you want," Dr. Rivera offered, and Cayenne accepted it. He was one of the doctors they trusted the most.
Without wasting another second, Cayenne picked up her phone again and left to find her husband in the nursery room. She found Stefan singing a lullaby to their little girl as he swayed from side to side to put her to sleep. Aziel was already inside the crib sleeping soundly.
He looked at her with a questioning gaze, so she raised her phone and whispered, "I'll go to the bathroom to minimize the noise," and dialed Tristan's number right away to inquire about Nikolai. By the ti she reached the bathroom, Tristan also answered her.
"Miss Yen? Do you need sothing from ?"
"Yes. Yes, I need you to help with sothing. Can you check where Nikolai is? Don't let him know that I am inquiring about the details. Also, could you try to find out who is he with?"
"No worries, Miss Yen. That's easy-peasy. I'll get back to you in about ten minutes. Do you need anything else aside from this?"
"That's all I need for now. I will call you again should sothing else co up. Bye for now."
Cayenne ended the call right away and went out of the bathroom to talk to her husband about Dr. Rivera's suggestion. She knew that the doctor ant well when it cos to the welfare of Zeki, and she was really hoping that this ti, Zeki would be healed or, at least, get treated.
"Dr. Rivera is waiting for us in the living room," she told Stefan while watching him place their daughter inside the crib ant for her.
Until two weeks ago, the triplets were sharing a crib but now it was impossible to fit the three of them in one crib. Cayenne and Stefan had to buy new ones.
"What did he tell you?" Stefan inquired about the conversation between the doctor and his wife in a hushed whisper before kissing his daughter's forehead and leaving the room with his wife. "He told us before that Zeki isn't autistic. Did he change his mind?"
"No, it's not about that. Dr. Rivera still believed in his diagnosis. Zeki isn't autistic but there is sothing in him that he wanted to figure out on his own. He said he wanted to take Zeki to his place and we should not go with them and no recording device either."
"That's weird. Why won't he allow us to send a recording device?" Stefan couldn't help but wonder as he walked downstairs. A few seconds later, he saw Dr. Rivera with Zeki in the living room. The doctor was playing blocks with Zeki and was conversing with him even though Zeki wasn't saying a single word.
It really worried them.
His siblings were catching up to him now. Aziel and Jahzara would speak "Dada" now, but Zeki wasn't making any progress. They even bragged to other people about how genius and amazing Zeki was.
"Good day, Dr. Rivera," Stefan greeted the doctor since he ca today for a business matter. If this was another day, they would be calling him Eli. "So, my dearest wife told that you planned to take Zeki to your place."
"Hn. That's what I suggested. I think I have a way to confirm my diagnosis and prove to you that there's nothing to worry about. I believe Dr. Albert told you the sa thing, too."
What Dr. Rivera said was indeed true. Their family doctor told them that Zeki was not autistic - like they thought he was. Unfortunately, the way their son was acting told them otherwise.
"I'll allow you to take him away, but I hope you'll send him ho before four in the afternoon. I trust you as a doctor and as a friend. I hope you won't do sothing to break my trust in you," Stefan said, which shocked everyone who heard him.
Stefan never allowed anyone to take the triplets outside without them supervising the kids. If not both, at least, one of them should be around. This was the very first incident that he was allowing soone to take one of the kids away and soone not from their family, too.
"So, who among your bodyguards would go with ?"
"Nash is around since Luiz won't be working today. I'll ask soone to get him and accompany you. I'll tell Rey to co over to your place, too."
"Great. I'm sure Zeki would enjoy his stay there. My nephew and my girlfriend's little brother will be there, too."
Cayenne blinked her eyes several tis before smiling in front of the doctor. She didn't want to think negatively but her brain was telling her sothing. [Oh, God. I hope Nikolai isn't being foolish.] Cayenne thought before looking away to hide her expression. "Since you will be taking Zeki, I will prepare the things that you need to use," she said and went back to the nursery room again.
"You can take it as a practice to handle your future kids with your lovely girlfriend," Stefan added as he picked Zeki up and placed him on his lap.
The little boy leaned on his father's chest right away and looked up to see the face of the most reliable man in the house. Stefan kept chatting with Dr. Rivera while Zeki observed him. He tugged on his father's shirt, but Stefan still continued talking.
"Stefan," Dr. Rivera finally said, forgetting the fact that he visited them for an official matter. "Your son needs sothing from you."
It was then that Stefan looked down to finally pay attention to Zeki. "What is it?" Zeki didn't say a word and just stared in front of him while reaching out for sothing with his little hands. "Do you want this?" Stefan asked while picking one of the sliced fruits on the table which was ant for Dr. Rivera.
Zeki turned silent and continued to reach for sothing.
Stefan felt helpless as he started picking things to show to Zeki. All this while, Dr. Rivera was making observations of the child.
anwhile, in the nursery room, Cayenne received a ssage from Tristan. Nikolai really went to Naga City and the person he was with was none other than the person that Cayenne was suspicious of – Isabelle Ignacio, Dr. Rivera's girlfriend.
