Chapter 285 - You two are married (1/2)

The next day, at noon.

Hearing the sound of plane landing on the island, Ethan asked the nurse to look after her for a bit, while he head out to receive them.

He got outside the main house and halted his steps, as he saw his parents coming as well. They've stepped down from the plane and was coming towards him, with Chris taking the lead.

He dragged his legs and moved closer to them, with his heart beating against his chest. Tony and Melanie frown as they were now standing in front of him.

Chris is not an exception, ”dude… ” he couldn't help but called.

Mel moved closer and held him, tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn't believe this is her son.

His beards are bushy, barely showing his facial feature. He look like someone else entirely. The dark circles under his eye bags were too obvious to be real. It seem like it was drawn there, but they knew it's real, as he wouldn't draw such.

He look so lean, like he hasn't been eating, while his irises were beat red, with tiny veins visible, if one look into his eyes.

His well built shoulders now look sag. He doesn't look the same at all.

Melanie shook him with her tears dropping, while Tony frown hard. ”what happened to you?” Melanie asked, while Ethan only shook his head and asked that they should go inside.

Stella and Alex remained still, also feeling scared, because they could tell Diana condition must be the reason why Ethan is like this. They had no idea how he look like before, so they couldn't fathom how much changes, but he did look terrible.

Terrible enough for Alex to not be able to detect the resemblance in him and Nathan. That's how much he's changed.

Melanie refused to leave him and kept shaking him, ”what's going on?” she asked again.

”I'm fine mom.” Ethan said.

”you're not fine, you're not fine….” she said repeatedly, which breaking down in tears more heavily, whimpering like a little kid.

Even Chris still couldn't break his gaze from him. He blame himself from leaving him. He should have stay and make sure he's taking care of his health.

”Mom please, I'm okay.” he said and held her by her shoulder. He began walking inside, while the others followed.

Chris was walking in when he halted his steps and saw Tony rooted at the spot. ”uncle, let's go inside.” he said.

”What happened to him?” Tony asked, looking up to meet Chris's eyes.

Chris took a deep breath, ”he blamed himself for not saving his woman and his unborn child and make them got hurt.” Chris said and watch Tony's eyes widened.

”Child?” he asked.

”Diana is carrying a child when the accident occurred. She nearly lost the baby, but it managed to survive...” Chris summarize the situation, but didn't mention what the accident was, just like Ethan.
