"Daddy!" Daisy wanted to shout, but Leonardo quickly signaled for her to remain quiet.

“Shh, baby, please be quiet,” he urged gently.

Daisy nodded in agreement, her excitement bubbling beneath the surface at the sight of him.

Leonardo offered her a warm smile before leaning down to kiss her temples. Aware that time was of the essence, he swiftly stood up, moved around the chair, and began to untie her until she was finally freed.

As soon as she was released, Daisy leaped up and rushed to wrap her arms around her father’s legs. “Daddy, I missed you!” she exclaimed, her small hands clinging tightly.

Leonardo felt a sharp pang in his heart as he looked down at her. He knelt down and lifted her into his arms, cradling her close. “I’m so sorry, baby. I’m so sorry,” he said, filled with remorse, before embracing her tightly, a single tear of joy escaping down his cheek.

They held each other for a brief moment until Leonardo was reminded that their time was running out.

Ever since his admission to the hospital the day prior, Leonardo had slipped into unconsciousness. Although the doctor had reassured Hayley he was going to be alright, Hayley was still filled with anxiety. It had been nearly twenty hours since he had fallen asleep and hadn't moved an inch.

    "I'm guessing you've all watched the news." Hayley started after the reunion, directing her gaze at Dana, who was now sitting beside Leonardo on the bed.

Is he going to be alright?" Dana asked, her tone filled with concern as she stared at Hayley hopefully. Hayley nodded, her expression neutral yet reassuring as she replied.

As she fluttered her eyes open, she noticed she was the only one in the room.She instinctively turned over, hoping he'd be right behind her but to her disappointment, he wasn't also there. Hayley frowned, massaging her temples as she felt a wave of loneliness enveloped her. She couldn't help but ponder about Leonardo's whereabouts. Yawning tiredly, she lifted the mattress of her body to realize she was already cladded in one of his oversized Tshirts. A warm smile crossed her face as she recognized that Leonardo must have dressed her up in that because she had no recollection of doing so herself the previous night. Smiling with newfound excitement, she draped the mattress over herself, gazing up at the ceiling. Just then, she felt an unusual weight on her finger and when s

"This is the last, I promise." He said reassuringly, leaning in to kiss her lips.

She hugged his back, wrapping her legs around his waist as he moved in and out of her repeatedly.

His dick pulsated inside of her as her walls clamped around him.Their bodies joined; he paused, watching her as she struggled to catch her breaths, her face twisting with pain.

A rush of sensations enveloped him, intensifying as he became aware of his arousal pressing against her lower abdomen. Hayley’s inviting smile widened as she adjusted her position, allowing him to settle more comfortably against her. She squirmed slightly, breathing softly while maintaining eye contact.

Her legs were hung over his shoulders as his head remained buried in her core.Hayley gasped for breath as Leonardo traced his tongue along her slit, teasingly reaching her clit, sucking and licking with an intensity that suggested he had everything to lose.
