Driven by the urgent call of his wife, Lucas rushed to his car and drove to Bobby's house. Alex and Albert could have followed him, but Zach cautioned them to stay back. He didn't want Clara to be overwhelmed with fear when she saw many people in her house. The trauma of Lilliana’s death had not left her yet. A strange person would think she was Lilliana's biological daughter, with the way she kept crying everyday.Lucas met them at Bobby's parking lot. Clara was being held by Lilly and Bobby following behind them with a stack of baby things they would need in the hospital.Clara was squeezing her face and she was blowing out air from her mouth every second. She was consumed with the pain and contraction of labor, so she couldn't acknowledge Lucas's presence.Lucas rushed to help Bobby with some of the luggage and he tapped him.“ Is it time yet? The pregnancy is just seven months old” Lucas asked worriedly.“ Yeah, she had been enduring contractions for like two days now. She has tur
Lilly was petrified as she saw the furious look on her father's face. Her legs were hooked to the ground as a result of fear that consumed her. She knew she had disappointed her father by not calling him when Clara was brought to the hospital.Justin had been eager and envisioned to be the first person to welcome his dear friend’s baby. Lilly knew he was hurt and she felt guilty as he approached her.“ Dad…I”, Lilly statement was cut short by Justin angry response “ Shut your mouth this minute, I don't want to hear anything from you” Justin Hissed, then he faced his friend who was still shedding tears of joy.“ Congratulations buddy, finally I'm happy to be someone's godfather. I'm happy for you Bobby, you deserve all the happiness in this world” He said as he hugged Bobby.“ Thanks so much for everything, Justin. You have been supportive to me since our childhood days, I'm grateful I have you in my life” Bobby replied, then he detached himself from his friend's tight embrace.“ Erm,
Clara yawned and she stretched her fore limbs. She found herself on bare sand very close to a river. Everywhere was cool and silent. The chirping of the birds and the sound of the river waves were the only noise heard. The place wasn't familiar to her and she noticed that no human lived in the environment. The scenario was overwhelming, no human and no stead or houses, but wild animals wouldn't be far, because the river was surrounded by thick forest trees.She sat up abruptly as she was consumed by panic and fear.“ What am I doing in a secluded place like this? Where is my husband and Lilly?” She murmured in fear, then her first plan was to run.“ Even if I run, where will I go? Is anybody here? Hello o” she shouted.“ Hello princess! You are awake, ” someone said behind her.“ Mom!” She shouted as she saw Lilliana behind her. She tried to hug her, but Lilliana stepped away from her.In a confused state, she frowned at Lilliana.“ Why are you moving away from me, Mom? I have missed
Justin closed the door to his car as they parked in his garage. He was still angry as a result of the shocking revelation of Clara's refusal to birth another child. The poor woman had not been over the trauma of her first pregnancy, she was being pressured to prepare for another one.He matched inside without looking back at his daughter and son-in-law who followed behind him. He murmured as he stepped into his living room “ What kind of nonsense was she talking about? She didn't have any complications after her first childbirth, she already had the notion of locking up her woman. She better had a change of mind, because I have promised to be a godfather to one of my friend's children” he spoke in anger as he entered the house.“ Give her some time to get over her trauma, maybe she would have a change of mind. Moreover, you can still be the godfather to my children” Lilly tried to pacify her father.“ How will I be a godfather to my grandchildren, when I'm automatically their grandfat
Joy drove into the old folks home parking lot. The care home offered nursing and residential care in a quiet, residential area located at the outskirts of Oslo. The building was surrounded by Sedges which offered a cool and conducive environment for the old people.The care home offered health care ranging from rehabilitation to caring for old people with dementia. They made people with dementia comfortable and safe.The old people were provided with a high level of personal care like bedrooms and sometimes en-suite bathrooms. The qualified nurses employed might be on duty all the time for their proper care.Sometimes, old people were wheeled outside to take fresh air under the Sedges. They carried out exercise with the help of the nurses or caregiver and they often offered social services to them.Lilly was amazed by the beautiful set up of the facility and she was too engrossed with the view that she didn't hear Joy calling her names.“ What is special about this place?” Joy wondered
“ I know you would ask me that question. That woman is a fighter and conqueror. She has gone through a lot. Although I didn't know her whole life story, life has a reason for her survival. I was the one that gave her the name Jane, because she couldn't remember her name after surviving a ghastly accident.” Joy began“ An accident? Where did it happen?” Lilly asked, confused.“ I decided to change location when no job was forthcoming after I graduated from college. I didn't have a good relationship with mom, so it was easy to run away from home. I applied to an organization in Sweden with the help of my college friend and I was called for an interview. I packed my bag without notifying mom, then I boarded the train that fateful day. After spending almost five hours on the train, we arrived at Stockholm central station. We alighted, then I tried to follow my friend's instructions by waiting for a bus that would take me to my interview location. While waiting, we heard a screeching and h
“ I can't start searching for her in the whole of Sweden on my own, because that will alert Lucifer and his men. I think he has sent someone to be monitoring my movement, because I have noticed someone on my trail for a month now. Any important task that concerns me will be carried out by either Alex or Lucas, I will just guide them.” Albert start“ So you have to always be on your toes when you move around the city because of your father. He has willed his company to you because you are his son, why is he still insecure about you?” Lilly asked a question which made the men look at themselves. They shared a knowing look that Lilly didn't know about Lucifer's game. They knew monitoring Albert wasn't because of his company alone, but he had other reasons. They decided not to explain further to Lilly, because she might get confused.“ Albert has decided to hire a private investigator that will help us to know about his mom's whereabouts, so that Lucifer won't know he is looking for his m
The table turned around all of a sudden, the almost peaceful atmosphere changed. Joy's face was gloomy and her lips compressed. The hope and optimistic belief in her disappeared instantly. She chuckled and she looked at her mother as if she had grown horns on her head. She felt so confused and angered that she wanted to attack Marie on her spot and trash her, but she wasn't rude. She didn't want to become a disrespectful child because of her mother's nonchalant attitude.Joy chuckles turned to a grin because she thought her mother was being unreasonable, “I'm surprised at the boldness and confidence in your voice, you seemed so sure I would listen to you if you used that kind of tone on me. Well, you have misjudged me on this, mother, because I will never listen to you either!”Marie's hardened face became soft, she felt she had gone overboard with the way she spoke to her daughter, so she made an attempt to speak to her calmly, “Sweetheart, I…” she was interrupted by a furious Joy
