Andrew scoffed,looking up at Dr.Jackson “If you weren't playing, why has my daughter been unresponsive for over half an hour now? Why is her breathing too faint? What have you been able to do?”He retorted “You are a joker if you think there is anything you can do about this child's case. The best of Nashville’s pediatrician Is yet to come up with a solution and you think there is anything you can do?” the second junior doctor fired back, glaring at Andrew Dr. Jackson raised his shoulders in ego, snapping his disdainful gaze to Andrew “Look Mr man, this child's case Is severe and I won't stand here and allow you to toy with her life, go elsewhere and practice your quack medicine” Dr. Jackson yelled, his voice laced with finality. “Well, in that case doctor, you should sit and watch, If you can't stand”Andrew retorted and turned to face Maria “Get me what I asked for now !”Andrew ordered “Ok” Maria nodded, rushing off to get what Andrew asked for, she wasn't very sure of what Andrew
Andrew furrowed his eyebrows In shock as he hastily picked up Winnie in his arms and sprinkled more salt on her navel area. “Maria, get me some vinegar and warm water, be fast! ” Andrew ordered, his heart sinking in pain as he watched his daughter continue to vomit blood, and gasp for air,but there was nothing he could do at the moment. He didn't foresee this happening , if not, he would have come prepared. It was also shocking to him as he had never encountered any food poisoning case that was as severe as this. “Be fast Maria”he called out “Sir, I have called the police, and they are on their way”One of the junior officers announced mockingly while glaring at Andrew Dr. Jackson smiled, and quickly concealed it as he pointed his fingers at Andrew. “I warned you, but you chose to endanger the life of this child with your quack medicine. We were almost at the verge of figuring out a solution but you came and destroyed all my effort!” Dr. Jackson growled, pretending as if he was
“What's happening?”Everyone was stunned as the whitish substance that was previously coming out of from Winnie’s mouth abruptly ceased as her breathing returned back to normal, her eyes snapping open at once. “Daddy is that you ” Winnie called out faintly,as soon she caught sight of the figure holding her in his arms. “Yes princess, it's daddy”Andrew said softly, the corner of his eyes brimming with tears as Winnie wrapped her tiny arms round his mid section. “She's awake!” Maria jumped up screaming in jou, as tears of happiness began to flood down her face. "Wow, thank goodness !" The other two nannies said joyfully, their cheeks stretching into a smile “Is she truly awake?”The doctors exchanged glances, their eyes bulging out in shock and surprise. It was utterly shocking to them, because even if they had a gun pointed to their heads, they would never have believed that Andrew would be able to revive Winnie from such a critical condition she was in. The two junior doctors
“Mr Baron , I am sorry, but the DNA test results came back negative” the doctor informed Andrew, his voice laced with sympathy. “ Which means I'm not Winnie’s father? Andrew asked, staring at the doctor with wide eyes , hoping that he'd refute what he had just said and confirm that it was a mistake. But —it never came. And for the first time ever , he was short of words, he opened his mouth to say something, but no words came forth . His heart was heavy with dread, and he could feel his heart banging against his chest. “Mr Baron , we've had similar cases in the past and most of them ended up being a case of paternity fraud” The doctor suggested, adjusting his glasses. “No, this is definitely not a similar case” Andrew countered, lost in thoughts. There is only one answer to this, he thought, using a white handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead. He had found out that his 3 year old daughter had sickle cell anemia. It was shocking to him because
In fact, he was the almighty chairman of A and U group she was gushing about.7 years ago,at the brink of death, a young girl saved him from the same accident that took his parents. Andrew gave the girl his family's bracelet that had a special mark on it, as a way to show appreciation.Not long after the girl saved him, he was taken away by a mysterious old man. Not only had the old man cured him, but he'd also taught Andrew everything he knew when he found his great talent.With all the top-notch skills he learned, he had secretly won a lot battles for the country and gained great respect even from the president. He also established many groups and companies. The fortune under his name was countless.Despite gaining such wealth and power, there was one thing he could never let go of in his heart: the death of his parents. He believed it was definitely not an accident. Over the years, he had rarely appeared in public, and few people knew what he really looked like. He wanted the perso
Andrew froze, Lily's words sinking into his head. “ You were in possession of that bracelet” “How come you were not the girl who saved me!? “Answer me this minute !” Andrew yelled, his eyes flashing with rage, his deathly glare pinned on Lily. “Bracelet? Oh that?” Lily snorted disdainfully. She got up from the bed, and stood in front of the white vanity, tying her hair into a bun, she turned to face Andrew. "You know, when I first saw the mark on that bracelet, I thought it was a sign. A sign that you were special, that you were worth something. But I was wrong. So very wrong.” “ You are utter trash!” she yelled, glaring down at Andrew in disgust. Andrew clenched his jaw, his eyes filled with fury “I won't ask again, how did you get that bracelet! ” he asked, his tone cold and deadly. Lily let out a chuckle “Why don't you go ask that naive broke ass friend of mine, she will explain better to you” “ Friend?” Andrew thought, his mind swirling with confusion “ Oh,but I
Chapter 4: Game on “That bastard is a cheater, because why would he agree to the divorce easily?”Lily complained, and for some reason, was disappointed and angry that Andrew didn't think twice before accepting the divorce. She had expected him to beg, and bawl his eyes out asking for a second chance, but he didn't, and that surprised the hell out of her. There was no other reasonable explanation she could think of, that made him agree to the divorce like that —if not, that he had been cheating on her. “I hope I don't see that hoe of his, because I'm going to teach them both a lesson” She threatened, picking up her phone from the bed. “Babe, come and see, your ex is getting into the latest range rover Prado ?” Mike called out , still peeping from the window, his gaze fixed on the car, till it went out of sight. “ Don't take that puppet seriously, he's probably a driver” Lily mocked, her eyes fixed on the phone in her hands. “Oh, I never thought of that, I thought he had graduat
Mike countenance fell flat , 3 days to him was too long and he couldn't wait any longer to attend the biggest event that would enable him garner massive connections from the influential guests that would come. And the most important thing was, he'd be able to meet the mysterious chairman there.He could use that opportunity to personally present another project to the chairman and build his father's trust. If he gets the chairman to approve another project,his father would hand over the company to him earlier than expected. But whatever, no matter it was tomorrow or three days later, he'd make it!Mike snapped back his gaze to Andrew and squared his shoulder,as a proud smile enveloped his face, “ My fiancé and I would be the special guests at the A and U banquet happening in three days and we would be signing our big collaboration with the chairman present there”“ You can just come and pack some leftovers, since that's the only way I can compensate you for snatching your wife fr
