Valerie's mother asked, as her voice echoed how much she couldn't wait to see her daughter."She is inside the ward," I responded, pointing my fingers in the direction of the ward."Okay, let's go inside," my mother instructed.But I couldn't because I was certain I was going ruin their moments together."Valerie doesn't want to see the sight of me, not even on her sick bed," I explained to them.Th
Chapter 98 ~ Dante's POV==========After so many weeks of showing up at the hospital to check on Valerie.My parents and Valerie's mother were losing hope in Valerie as their saddened faces whenever they visited her at the hospital, they kept sulking in their eyes each time they saw her.But enough of that, having all their tears and sadness hovering around her could also be a reason for her still being in a coma state.Then, one day while I was seated In the ward Valerie was seated too.It was a private ward to be precise because I didn't want any disturbance or discomfort that would pull back her recovery.I just wanted her to open he eyes once more and fight with me like she does.So, I sat next to her on the bed she laid on and held onto her hands while I gently spoke a few words to her."You know Valerie, you don't look so good when you have your eyes closed for a long time, your beauty starts to fade bit by bit,""I wish you were awake, I would tell you the evil scheme Raymond
Chapter 97 ~ Dante's POV========Arriving where the rest of the family gathered, I gulped down saliva down my throat as I stood in front of my parents and Valerie's mother.Seeing me there, they all stood up as the curiosity on their faces was extremely visible to anyone."What did the doctor say?" My mother said first."Yes Dante, please tell us everything do not hide one bit of information from us," Valerie's mother added.Taking a deep exhale as I decided to tell them nothing but the truth at that moment.They deserve to know everything, well aside from the truth about Raymond and Christine that I just found out.They would also know about that in a few minutes or hours.Well, by the time the police arrive here though."The doctor gave a bad news," I began."Yes, going on," my mother encouraged, I think she noticed my hesitation in giving the full details."Valerie is in a coma," I continued, with my gaze lowered as couldn't't bear to see the reaction on my mother's and Valerie's
Chapter 96~Dante's POV===========Entering the doctor's office, he closed the door behind me as he walked his way to his sofa chair.Comfortably having his sit, he asked if I should have my seat also.I did, as he asked.Meanwhile, I was praying deep within me that he didn't have bad news to give to me."Mr." The doctor paused, as he had a look on his face which hoped I completed his words."Mr. Blaze, doctor, please tell me the full details of Valerie's health status," I inquired with so much desperation in me.I think he noticed this.Then, he had a soft smile on his face, with both of his hands clamped together."Firstly, I want to say the unborn child is fine," he began.Hearing this, I felt some settlement within me as I was grateful our child was safe.Then, my thoughts returned to the doctor, as I noticed he said nothing about Valerie's health.So, I asked him as anxiety took the best of me."How about my wife?"I could see a sudden glump of saliva down his throat, making my c

I murmured to myself as I stretched out my right hand to take it.Holding the phone in my hand, the phone was vibrating still.Only for me to discover it was Raymond calling.Seeing this, I found it worrisome to see his number pop up on my screen.Though we are both cool it felt sort of strange to me."Geez, I wonder why I am having so many creepy feelings today," I said to myself.But despite that, I clicked on the answer button shown on my screen and placed the phone on my right ear."Hey bro, what's up," I said to him as I sniffed in my nose real quick."Please come to the city hospital real quick, Valerie was in an accident," he said to me in a worried and quick tone."What?"
