From time to time, the doctors came in to check on Sarah. At exactly 10:11pm, Sarah woke up. She looked at her surroundings again and wondered where she was and how she got here in the first place. She caught a glimpse of the fair, tall and handsome man sitting beside her and slowly, she began to remember all that had happened and that there were so many doctors in the room when she woke up earlier. Richard was holding her hand and smiling brightly at her. Sarah brought her free hand to her stomach as fast as she could and felt her tummy. It was true that her baby bump had not yet started showing but she always felt the little life inside her stomach whenever she placed her hand on her tummy. Panic-stricken, Sarah spluttered, "My...my baby," Richard understood what she meant. He brought her hand to his mouth and planted a kiss on it. Sarah misinterpreted his action and thought that her baby was gone and that he was trying to console her. Her eyes poked out in pains and drops
After Richard had finished eating, Kelly cleared the table and walked out of the room, leaving the two of them. "What you said earlier, do you mean it?" Sarah asked softly. Richard was standing up and was trying to send an email to a business partner. He paused and turned to face Sarah. "What?" He asked absent-mindedly. Sarah fixed her gaze at him. Richard dropped the tablet in his hand on the bed immediately and looked into those sexy eyeballs of hers. Even though they appeared so dull now, to him, they were just as charming as before. Sarah's unwavering gaze at Richard forced him to think. His expression changed a little when he had a grasp of what she was talking about. "You said that you will set him free if that will make me happy–yes, it will," Sarah uttered. "Did I?" Richard tried to deny this but Sarah's ugly expression made him realize that denying his statement wasn't even an option. "Exactly how unconcious were you earlier
"Good morning boss," Brycen, one of the guards said over the phone. He was incharge of keeping watch over Frank in the underground and deserted warehouse located in the outskirts of the town where Frank was kept and had been tortured to the point of death. "Get him ready to return back," Richard commanded. Brycen thought that he didn't hear their boss well until he continued to issue instructions after instructions which were all boiling down to the fact that he was planning to release Frank. Didn't he say that they were going to kill him in the next two days and after he was done with his new project? Richard had instructed them to keep Frank alive until he squeezed out time to see him for the last time before ending his life by himself. "But sir, the dude is in a very bad state now. I don't think he will survive the deep injuries he sustained even if we release him now," he tried to explain. "Make sure that he's here before this week runs out
The next day, Mrs. Harriet and Kate rushed to the hospital very early in the morning. They just got the information that Sarah was hospitalized yesterday through Kelly and during the launching as neither Richard nor Sarah was there. Richard didn't mention this to any of them. When they entered the private ward, Richard was feeding Sarah plantain porridge. Since Sarah liked this food very much, he had asked the cooks to prepare it for her with lots of smoked fish in it. The food was highly nutritious too so it went well with Sarah's current health. Sarah was the first person to see Mrs. Harriet and Kate as they entered since she was facing the door while Richard backed it. He was too busy wiping the food particles on her lips away and didn't notice their presence. Mrs. Harriet couldn't believe that the person patiently feeding Sarah was actually his son. Richard had been so aloof and had a very cold personality right from childhood. He got his grandfather and father's traits combine
"Boss, we took him to a private hospital but he has been unconscious since yesterday. The doctors said that there's nothing that they can do to help him now," Brycen said in panic. He was at his wits end already. If anything happens to Frank, he might as well start counting his remaining days on earth. "I'm coming to see him now," Richard said. He ended the call and called Kelly immediately. Kelly had been very busy in the office since yesterday. There were just too many clients to see that Kelly cursed himself for being Mr. Wilson's assistant in the first place. How could he abandon everything to him just like that? Didn't the doctors say that his wife was out of danger already? On top of that, he even had to follow him to see Frank now? When Richard stepped out of the restroom where he had gone to take his call as it was the only place that would give him the privacy that he needed, he saw two more persons in the ward. Carson was sitting beside Kate. Kate had informed him
Richard drove into the private hospital in the company of Kelly. He alighted from his car and headed to the doctor's office straight. After a brief meeting with the doctor, he left and went to the ward that Frank was in. "Boss, he has been like this since yesterday. Even the doctors said…" "Get ready to fly him abroad. He can't die," Richard interrupted Brycen and said to Kelly who was standing beside him, staring at Frank with a hint of doubt that he would survive this. About three able-bodied men entered the ward and carried Frank out of the ward. Richard and Kelly followed them behind silently. There were lots of things going on in Kelly's mind. He wondered why Richard had a strained face and looked obviously worried that Frank might die when he was the one instructing the guards on what punishment to give to him earlier, with no intention of releasing him. "Sir, why do you suddenly want to release him and even care so much about his health now?" Kelly had b
"How bad is his condition now?" Sarah asked softly. "His ribs are broken. He has been transferred to a specialist in fixing broken ribs immediately he regained consciousness. The doctor said that he has a 50% chance of recovering completely," Richard explained, pursing his lips firmly now. The room went silent for a few minutes. "I want you to tell me everything about his condition from now on," Sarah issued. Richard readily agreed to it instantly. "I also want him brought to the villa to recuperate if luckily he becomes well again," "Okay," Richard agreed without even a second thought. "Thank you, Sarah," he said as he planted a kiss on Sarah's lips. *Kate was attending a dinner party tonight so she decided to do some shopping first. Later in the evening, she left for the supermarket with her best friend, Mia. It was her first dinner party with Carson so she didn't want to screw things up. She needed to look her best to
It had been a week now since Sarah was discharged from the hospital. She was much stronger now and could walk around. Sarah was 7 weeks and three days gone now. Since she came back from the hospital, she hadn't experienced the morning sickness again. Sarah was happily knitting a bobble hat in the garden, Richard sitting a few inches away from her and going through his laptop when Kate drove into the compound. Richard looked up and saw Kate, dressed in a white evening gown with a black handbag between her fingers as she made towards them. Sarah followed his line of sight and was surprised to see Kate. She didn't inform them that she was coming today. It was indeed a surprise visit. Sarah stood up immediately to receive her. "Look at you, you look so beautiful and healthy now, Sarah!" Kate exclaimed. She hadn't seen Sarah since she was discharged from the hospital. She only came back from Dubai two days ago. Although Sarah always told her that she was fine whenever she calle
