TWO HOURS LATER~•
The doctor walked out of the room tiredly but with a satisfied look on his face.
I took a deep breath.
” How’s she?”I asked immediately and we all rushed to him.
” She’s fine, She’s one of my patients and the babies are fine, I was surprised to see that they made their first movement in her stomach today ever since she took in, We have all been expecting this moment”He explained happily, I did my best not to break down in front of me.
Everything is still amusing and surprising to me as well.
Magnolia took in before I left?
The romantic night we had when we traveled resulted into this?
I didn’t expect her to keep the baby because of her financial status.
I wondered how she was able to cope.
” Thank you, Can we see her now? “I asked immediately and he shook his head.
” Give her thirty minutes to rest her head first, She’s been asking about you even though she’s daydreaming, I’m sure you’re Maynard, I should show you the gender of the babies in her because I refused to tell her since she didn’t bring her husband to me, She told me you traveled, You stayed too long man, Make sure you spend more time with her as soon as possible, She needs it, The babies needs it “He winked and patted my shoulders before leaving the room.
I sighed dejectedly.
” How were you able to cope Fleur? “I asked and she shrugged.
” Mateo dropped one of his credit cards for me, We have been managing it and Gael helped us with lots of provisions as well since she consumes a lot”She replied simply and I nodded.
I turned to Mateo and he only smiled at me.
Oh, God!, I didn’t even remember to drop something for her before I left.
If not for Gael and Mateo’s credit card, She would have been living on the streets since Brea refused to pay her salary to her.
” I’m sorry”I said again and Fleur sighed.
” You’re one sort of soft guy who pretends to be cold and arrogant due to your background, I assumed Magnolia was your first love or maybe girlfriend, You didn’t offend me tho, You should apologize to Magnolia, But I’m sure she won’t forgive you that easily”
” I will do my best to gain her forgiveness”
” Uhmm…, Maynard, I’m sorry but can we talk? “Gael suddenly ask and I turned to him.
” Yes, I was about to inform you that our family doctor just informed me about your sister’s health, The bullet has been removed and she is recuperating already”
” I want to talk about her “He said softly, I patted his shoulders and led him out of the hospital.
Getting to the car, I opened the door and he looked at me in confusion.
” You should come inside, You said we need to talk?, And I’m sure you’re dying to see your sister already, Let’s talk about it in the car”
” Alright, thank you”He replied quickly before entering the car.
J
I ignitrd it to live and start driving out of the place.
” I’m sorry “I began and he took a deep breath.
” I didn’t respect your decision when you tried begging Magnolia for forgiveness, I just learnt that Alena pushed the pregnancy on you, I think I’m the one who ruined the relationship between you and Magnolia “I said with a sad chuckle and he shook his head immediately.
” No, you shouldn’t say that, I’m the one at fault, I refused to confess my feelings to Magnolia, Thank God I didn’t, She would have accept but I will later break her heart, I’m kind of an introvert, Magnolia came into my life and changed it, She’s the one who made me who I am today, She used to follow me to companies to beg for contracts, No one knew she’s the one who helped my Dad win the contract which changed our lives until months ago, I really commend Magnolia free spirit and kindness, I hope you treat her well”
” My mom came from a poor family, Brea came into our family and ruined it for us, It was so hard then, my mom left the country to live in hiding because she was scared of Brea, I went to talk to her yesterday concerning her coming back to the company and our lives, She didn’t listen until I threatened to take my siblings alongside with me without her consent, That was why I came late, I didn’t want to talk to Magnolia yesterday because she will misunderstood things between I and Brea since I didn’t carry her along, I didn’t know I was hurting her”
” It’s fine, you made the right decision, I will help you talk to her “He butts in immediately and I nodded with a smile.
I really hope so, I can’t afford to lose Magnolia.
“You said you want to talk to me”I said trying to divert the topic and he pressed his lips immediately.
He’s nervous.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
I knew he wants to talk to me about Zoe.
” I want to to talk to you about Zoe”He stuttered and I chuckled.
I knew it.
” I don’t want you to send her to prison, it will hurt my Dad”
” Why?, I thought you ha*te her? ”
” I didn’t know that Brea was our mother, She left us when I was a toddler because my Dad we t bankrupt, He couldn’t satisfy her needs any longer, None of them refused to show me my Mom’s picture, I was talking rashly at Zoe not knowing she was trying to protect me, I wil make sure I retrieved all the documents in Zoe possession for you “He rushed the last sentence, I laughed again
” Do you think Brea will be dumb enough to let Zoe know any of her plans?, I knew She know nothing about all these, She was just acting under Brea command, Zoe took a bullet for me, why will I hurt her?”I asked with a shrug.
” Thank you, I really appreciate”She mumbled and I nodded.
Shortly, We arrived at the hospital.
