And just like that memories of a past Clive would rather do without came into his mind. "Clive!" Sarah Jay yelled at him. " You're not being fast enough". She screamed her lungs out she didn't want to give birth to their baby in the middle of the street. Clive was too busy loading their luggage inside the car and Sarah was already thinking that their baby wouldn't even allow them to get to the hospital before he was delivered. "Okay sweetheart". Clive cooed at his wife he went to kiss her gently on the cheek. Walking her to the passenger side of the car. He made sure to adjust her seatbelt to accommodate her pregnant belly. He made sure that she was comfortable before closing the door. He went to the driver's side and hopped in. "Are you okay?" He asked as he turned on the engine. He didn't want to look at her for fear that she might be having contractions already. He focused on driving instead. But his mind was elsewhere. He knew they had to be quick. Their baby was co
"Sorry sir". The nurse said apologetically. " You didn't get hers with anything but your wife. I'm sure maybe the phone got lost in the crash. I'm sorry. " Clive sighed. He knew that the nurse was right. He hadn't had his phone with him when the car had crashed. He had been so focused on getting Sarah to the hospital that he hadn't thought about his own things. "How's the baby?" He asked. "Is it okay?" He felt scared. "What if something's wrong?"The nurse smiled at him. "The doctors are taking good care of your wife and the baby." She reassured him. "I don't have any more information for you right now. But I'll make sure to keep you updated as soon as I know anything." Clive nodded. He breathed deeply trying to get himself stable. He didn't want to be an unruly patient. The nurse noticed that he was trying to calm himself down. "That's good." She said. "Just try to breathe and focus on your breathing." She watched him for a moment to make sure he was okay. "If you need a
" What will I tell you when you ask me years later where your mother is huh? What will I tell you my dear? " As he said those words, he felt a strange sense of peace come over him. He knew what he would tell his daughter. He would tell her about her mother. He would tell her how amazing Sarah was. He would tell her about how much her mother loved her. He would tell her that she would always be a part of their lives, even if she wasn't here with them. He would tell her that her mother was watching over them, making sure they were always safe.The nurse was still watching him with a soft smile on her face. "She's so lucky to have you as her daddy, Mr. Maxwell. Clive shook his head. " No I'm actually the lucky one." The nurse nodded. "Yes, you are. And your daughter is too." She looked at the baby in his arms. "She's a beautiful little girl. And she's going to be so loved." She turned to Clive. "Do you have a name for her?"Clive looked down at the baby in his arms. He thoug
"But this isn't your child. I understand that this is hard for you to accept, but it's the hospital's mix-up and we'll be the ones to pay a sum to you and the other father for this horrible event that just happened. " The doctor waved to the elderly nurse. " Take the baby to her rightful father please." Clive gasped in pain as he saw the child that he had just accepted as his own get walked out of the door. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Maxwell." The doctor said again. "We're going to do everything we can to make this right. But for now, I need to ask you some questions about your wife. I need to know what happened to her. If you don't mind." He gestured to a chair in the corner of the room. "Please, have a seat."Clive numbly walked over to the chair and sat down. He felt like he was in a daze. How could this be happening? He had been so happy just moments ago. He had thought that he had a daughter. But he had nothing. He had no wife and no child. He saw that the doctor was talking but he
The doctor could see that Clive was in a very dangerous place. He was consumed by anger and grief. He knew that he had to tread very carefully. "Mr. Maxwell, I know you're angry and hurt right now." He said. "But you need to take care of yourself. Revenge won't bring your wife and child back. You need to focus on healing yourself, both physically and emotionally."Clive looked at the doctor, his eyes burning with rage. "How can I heal when I have nothing and no one to live for. " He smiled a frightening smile pointed at the doctor. " I'll be just fine." The doctor didn't believe that. He was about to say something else that he thought would persuade Clive from the quest of revenge but two nurses ran into the room. "Doctor! There's a patient who's badly wounded and he's asking about you by name! Please hurry. " The doctor still looked at Clive reluctant to leave him alone to his own thoughts. "Doctor Jeffrey!" The nurses were persistent. " This man needs you. " The doctor look
Doctor Jeffrey wasn't sure if he could trust David's promises. He had already shown that he was willing to use violence to get what he wanted. But he had to play along, at least for now. "I understand that you're concerned for the man's well-being." He said. "But I can't give you any more information. I'm bound by patient confidentiality." He hoped he sounded convincing. "I hope you understand."David glared at him. "You're not making things easy for me." He said. "Do you know what I can do to you for this continuous disregard for me? I can make your life a living hell. Now tell me what I want to hear!" Doctor Jeffrey felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that David was serious. He was in a very dangerous situation. He had to think of something, fast. "I'm sorry, Mr. Storm." He said. "But I can't give you any information. I'm bound by the law." He was terrified, but he had to keep his cool. He had to stay calm. "I know you're upset, but I can't help you. I hope you understand."
He had been thinking he was doing something nice for one of his workers who was on sick leave. So he thought he could just drive the truck the man was given by his company to deliver the goods. It was going to be a little surprise to the man. He had wanted to see him shocked when he got to work to see all his work done. But then David had gotten a call from his secretary telling him that his senior nanny had died. That she had died peacefully in her nursing home. And that made David mad. He was so mad that the woman that had caused him so much pain could just die like that without even one sorry to him for how badly she had treated him. He was angry that she could die in peace like that. And then he couldn't see the road because of his rage and then he saw himself collide with a small car. And that was Clive's car. That was how Clive lost his pregnant wife. Because of him. David was shivering at the guilt. He felt sick to his stomach. He had never wanted to hurt anyone. He had
"That's great, man." Ezula said, a genuine smile on his face. "I think that's a really good idea. And hey, I'll come with you if you want. Just for moral support."Clive smiled back at his friend. "I'd like that." he said. "It would be nice to have someone with me.""Absolutely." Ezula said. "You don't have to do this alone. We're all here for you.""Thank you." Clive said. "I really appreciate it." Clive smiled at Kenneth. " You willing to give me your best huh?" He teased his cousin who was always with Ezula. He never left Ezula out of his sight so it was going to be a treat to actually see his cousin release Ezula to him. Kenneth laughed and playfully punched Clive's arm. "I'm always willing to help you out, cousin." he said. "Even if it means leaving my best friend behind for a bit."Ezula shook his head and rolled his eyes. "I'm not going anywhere." he said. "You two will just have to deal with me tagging along."Clive and Kenneth both laughed. "You're such a pain." Clive
