Dinah nodded, and then they walked out of the waiting area and headed back down to the cafeteria.
“Do you know him?” Dinah asked.
“Yes.”
“He’s Golubev, isn’t he?”
“He’s Sergey’s son.”
Dinah wrapped her arms around her body.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“I think I’ve seen him before, but … I can’t remember. I don’t know if he came in for a haircut a few years ago. He asked about my mom, I think. I don’t know. I recognize him, that’s all I can tell you.” She leaned over and put her head on his arm even as they continued to walk.
Once inside the cafeteria, Dinah went up to the counter, and he took a sip of the coffee in his hand. It was crap, no doubt about it. He knew he could have offered Dinah his drink, but he also wanted to get her as far away from Golubev as possible.
Nikki didn’t deserve to breathe the same air as her. He fucking hated him, and the sooner he could kill that son of a bitch, the better he would feel.
Dinah got her coffee, and together they walked down the long corridor, heading toward the maternity ward again.
“He hurt you, didn’t he?” she asked.
Road took a deep breath.
“The scars on your face, are they his handiwork?”
“Yes.”
She nodded. “Right.”
“Some of them are his handiwork,” he said.
“How are you feeling?” she asked.
“I’m fine. I don’t like him coming around.”
“Why is he?” Dinah asked.
Road rubbed at his temple. “He’s Faith’s biological dad. Trust me, I don’t get why he keeps coming around seeing as he spent most of Faith’s life ignoring her, but now that she’s got Brute’s kid, he seems to be turning up more often.”
“You don’t trust him?”
“No, I don’t. I also don’t like him.”
She giggled. “Fair enough.”
They arrived back at the waiting area, and Road didn’t want her to go inside.
“You no longer want me here, do you?” she asked.
“It’s not about you, I promise.”
Dinah sighed. “It’s fine, but I have no way of getting home. I can go and wait in the cafeteria for you. See, this is why you should have totally listened to me and allowed me to take my car. I’m not calling a cab.”
Road cupped her face and pressed his head to hers.
“You’re not going anywhere,” he said, and with that, they walked back into the waiting area.
