It was already afternoon. Hospital duties were winding down for the doctors. The CMO came into their cabin. "Ah, Doctors, tomorrow onwards you have two days of holiday, because as you know, this Sunday you are all going to the camp! So get ready for that," the CMO announced before leaving.
Ethan, however, was still distracted, worrying about what Arlo might do.
"Ah, over 30 doctors are going to the camp, and even the CEO will join? Is that necessary?" Satraus muttered.
"Of course! CEO boyfriend is going to be there, then definitely he'll follow," Cury said, nudging Satraus. Satraus looked visibly upset.
"Hey, Ethan, what are you thinking? Will Eli also come with you, right? It's been so many days since I've seen him!" Cury asked.
Ethan, deep in thought about Arlo, didn't hear her. "Ahhh, ahh, guys, I'm hungry. It's already afternoon! Can we have lunch?" Ethan quickly changed the topic.
"Oh, yes! I'm also hungry, but today we should go to a real hotel, not the hospital canteen," Cury suggested.
"Yes, yes, I'm bored here. Let's go! We have free time now, right?" Satraus agreed readily.
Ethan nodded, and they all headed out to a luxurious hotel nearby.
"Oh, this place is so big! I've never been to this hotel," Cury commented excitedly.
"Hey, today the treat is on me," Satraus offered.
Ethan walked inside, still lost in thought. Suddenly, a little voice screaming "DAD!!!" caught his attention. He looked up and saw it: Eli with Lucas!
"Who's Dad?" Ethan roared, looking furiously at both Eli and Lucas.
Eli and Lucas were instantly shocked. Eli, afraid of Ethan's sudden anger, ran into Lucas's lap and hugged him fiercely, seeking protection.
Lucas picked him up, trying to defend the boy. "Why are you angry? He's my son, that's why he's saying 'Dad'!"
"Don't talk! You shut up! Eli, come here!" Ethan demanded.
Eli shook his head violently, refusing to move from Lucas's arms.
"Eli!" Ethan's voice was dangerously low now.
"Ohhh, Ethan, why are you so angry? Let him be. He's comfortable with Sir Lucas, and we don't have the right to get him back by force," Cury interjected smoothly.
Satraus, completely confused, whispered, "Ah, how do you two know each other already?"
"Ahhh, actually, it's all my fault. There's nothing Eli's fault at all. Don't blame him, Ethan!" Lucas said fearfully, taking the blame entirely.
Ethan's eyes were furious.
"Did you see them? They totally look like a family! Look at Eli, look at Lucas—they are totally afraid of Ethan!" a neighboring diner whispered. "So Ethan is the owner! Aww, so cute, am I right, Satraus?" Cury said playfully to Satraus, Satraus rolling his eyes behind Cury back.
Meanwhile, Sefan was booking a restaurant for living in the city. Suddenly, she got a phone call.
"Miss Rosy Sefan?"
"What happened, Doctor?" Sefan asked.
"We're sorry. Your brother, Damien, is dead. We couldn't spare his life. Extremely sorry," the doctor on the line said.
Sefan ended the call without concern. "Ohhhh, why is everything all of a sudden happening like this? If that stupid Damien is dead, then Victoria is even more free now!" Sefan got furious!
They all ended up sitting together at a large table. Eli was already comfortable in Ethan's lap, but Ethan was still angry, though he mechanically fed Eli.
"Eli, come here, son! Let me feed you, Dad!" Lucas asked, trying to pull Eli toward him.
"No, thanks. His Papa is still here. I'm going to feed my son myself!" Ethan stated curtly.
Eli, seeing the argument, got up from Ethan's lap and sat right in between them. "Papa, Dad, you can both feed me now!" Eli said, smiling innocently.
"Awwwww, he's too concerned about his both parents!" Cury cooed, enjoying the drama while eating.
Ethan glared at her. "Hey, Eli, why don't you choose me instead? Do you need a dad that much?" Ethan asked, suddenly feeling hurt and jealous.
"What kind of question is that, darling? He's just a baby. Whatever he thinks, let him be," Lucas chided gently.
Ethan's eyes flashed. "Hey! Don't call me darling in front of everyone!"
Lucas seized the opportunity. "Ohhh, darling, are you upset that I didn't feed you? Let me feed you, my Darling!" Lucas teased hard, holding up a forkful of food.
Cury was thoroughly enjoying the show. Eli, sitting in the middle, smiled. "Yes, yes! Feed my Papa, Dad!"
"Oh, see, even my son is supporting! Don't be angry, darl—" Before Lucas could finish the teasing nickname, Ethan grabbed Lucas's hand.
"Do you want to eat that? Okay!" Ethan forced the food into Lucas's mouth. Both Cury and Eli cheered, "Ohhhhhhh!"
"Ah, Ethan, you didn't say anything about the camp yet," Satraus said, trying desperately to change the volatile subject.
"Ahhh, actually, I'm not interested in going there. Especially since Eli is with me, I don't know how to take care of him while on duty," Ethan said seriously.
"Which means, will you cancel the camp?" Cury asked.
"I think so," Ethan started, Lucas interrupted fiercely, "NO! Who said he'll not go there? He is the main one there! How should he not go? Ethan, don't worry! I'll be there, too, so I'll take care of Eli while you're on duty!"
"Heyyyy! I get a break from school!" Eli cheered, clapping his hands.
Ethan's eyes questioned Lucas: Really?
Lucas's eyes promised: Don't worry, I'll manage.
Meanwhile, Sefan was sitting in her lavish apartment, furiously going over her plans. She got a call.
"Oh, who's this now?" She picked up.
"Hello, Ma'am. Ah, Sojuva, what's now?" Sefan snapped.
"Ohh, Ma'am, today, as you said, I sent many attackers to the hospital to kill those doctors. But instead, they were all arrested," Sojuva reported fearfully.
"What?! What are you saying?! Who made them arrested?" Sefan demanded.
"It's the same guy who saved one of the doctors," Sojuva admitted.
Sefan didn't end the call; she threw her phone with full force against the wall. It shattered.
"Ohhhhhhhh!" she screamed, holding her head. "Why? Why is my son involved with everything?! No, no! It's already too much! Before Victoria comes here, I need to kill Ethan and take Eli!"
