At The Clinic“I used the pregnancy kit for the test.”“Why did you think of the pregnancy test? Were you sick?”“Yes doctor.”“That is brilliant of you. Would you wish to abort it?”Now, Ruby felt insulted and provoked, which bled into her expression, and she replied curtly.“No.”The doctor was impressed, and perceived that she had hurt her and apologized.“I apologize for my rude question.”Now, Ruby accepted her apologies with a smile on her face.“Think nothing about it, Dr. Harmon.”Now, she picked the test strip and looked at it and smiled broadly before she announced, “Congratulations, you are six weeks gone.”“I'm delighted to hear that. Thank you, doctor.”Now, she smiled a bit when she realized that the conception took place on her first night with Johnny.“You are welcome. Have you had your breakfast.”“Not yet.”“It is all right. I will get you something to eat.”“Thank you for that, doctor.”“You are welcome. Come with me.”The doctor took her to her private room in the
“Guy, getting to the Vice Chancellor's office now is not feasible,” Stanley pointed out.“I will attempt.”“How? Will you jump over this heap of people?”“I will request to see my project supervisor.”“Let me try her number again,” Carmine volunteered.“I have tried it severally, but it was switched off,” Johnny emphasized. Then, the two gave him a concerned look when they noticed that he was distraught, and Stanley counselled, “I suggest that you take a break, Johnny. Her phone might be down.”“Or she turned it off to avoid embarrassing herself before the Vice Chancellor,” Carmine added. Now, Johnny turned and called out, “Let's go.”“Better,” Stanley supported, and they walked back towards the lecture halls. “I don't think there will be lectures today,” he announced.“You are right. Let us go home.” Stanley recommended. They walked towards the park and got into their car. Johnny drove off and imagined many things. The thought of Ruby spending longer time than appropriate with the V
Meanwhile, as soon as Joel walked out of his office, Sir Stewart pondered on the discussion he had with the Vice Chancellor. At that point, the television broadcast showed that the traffic at the school gate was easing off, and he gave his wife a call.“Hello, my pineapple. Any news?” she inquired after she picked her call.“My sweet pie. I think we can return to the school and meet the Vice Chancellor.”“I see. What about the grid lock at the gate? Will we be able to get into the school?”“Yes, the gridlock had eased off. Can we see him after work?”“Certainly.”“It is okay. I will pick you, my sweet pie.” “I’m waiting, my pineapple.”They laughed heartily and ended the call. Then, he gave Prof. Farrell a call at once. When he picked and greeted, Sir Stewart could feel the pressure that he was into from his voice and he empathized with him, “I hope I am not adding to your stress, Prof.”The Vice Chancellor cheered up and responded, “Not at all. I’m relieved now that the jobless and
Johnny just realized for the first time that he took a great risk. He looked at his father, who was waiting for his response. At once, he cooked up a dishonest excuse.“No one would identify me with the new car, Mr. Joel.”“Says who? You have to be security conscious at all time.”“I got it. Pardon my carelessness.”“Thank you, Joel, for reminding him of what he knew very well.”“Young Master. When did you arrive?” Dominic asked, when they got to Sir Stewart's reception.“Good day, Mr. Dominic. I arrived a while ago.”“Welcome.”“Thank you.”Now, they were in his father's office, and he admired it.“Your office is beautiful, dad.”“Thank you, just like yours. Take your seat.”“You mean my dusty office?” He asked, he took his seat and his father sat down too. Then, on a serious note, he looked into his eyes and asked, “What brings you, son?”Now, he concealed his worries and answered cheerfully. “I miss you.”Howbeit, Sir Stewart would never believe that he lied when he remembered how
They walked out of his office together and got to the security department. While his father was discussing with Mr. Meyer, he walked to the backyard and drove out his car. Meanwhile, Joel, who was discussing the security issues at the Cashew Island with Meyer, got up when his boss walked in, and went to meet Johnny when he saw him walking towards his car.“Young Master, I hope you are not planning to return without guards?”“Not at all. I have asked my father to arrange for some.”“That is good.”Sometimes, being an only child and a loved one had it its demerits. All the same, Johnny had a powerful defense mechanism to evade their excess love, which at times, could be suffocating. Soon, he drove to the gate. To avoid his unpredictable son turning his arrangements down, he asked Joel to accompany him and wait for him at the school.“Son, will you be okay if Joel accompanies you?”“That is more appropriate.” He responded and got off his car. Then, he walked to his father, who was a few
Dominic drove off, and he gave his wife a call and waited for her to pick. Afterward, the call timed out and he tried again. To his amazement, she did not pick.'She is not close to her phone,' he concluded, and gave up calling her for the moment. Then, he rested his head on the seat and relished his moment with his son. He remembered the days, when he picked him from the Kindergarten and thought him self-confidence. He would always long to see his father after school. The moment, he sighted him, he would jump to his bosom and he would give him a hug. While he was lost in the pleasure of his thoughts, his phone rang, and the tone jolted him up. He picked with delight, and she apologized, “I apologize, hubby. I missed your call.”“It is all right. We are a few meters from your office.”“It is all right. I will wait for you.”After a few minutes, they were in the wife's vestibule. As usual, he got off and opened the front door for her, and she got in while Dominic joined the security ve
At the Senior Staff ClinicAfter Ruby laid on Dr. Harmon's bed and watched the television, she slept off. Now, Dr. Harmon had fallen in love with her because of her refusal to see an abortion as an option. At lunch, she walked into her room and met her still sleeping. She left for the canteen again and got her lunch for her.“Ruby, wake up. You can continue with your sleep after the lunch,” Dr. Harmon said after she tapped her legs. She opened her eyes slowly and the doctor gave her a pleasant smile. Ruby was encouraged when she saw her smile and opened her eyes.“Hello, Dr. Harmon,” she greeted.“How do you feel, Ruby?”“I'm fine, doctor, thank you for your concern. And you?”Now, Ruby got up and sat on the bed. “I'm fine, thank you.” The doctor said and presented the food.“Eat. You must be famished.”“Thank you, doctor. I'm grateful.”She appreciated and ate her food while the doctor watched her. She thought of Carmine and resolved that after her meal, she would request to see her
Then, he looked at Ruby, who was standing between the couple, and she professed joyously.“At last, I have someone I can call mom…”She broke down in tears before she could complete her sentence. Then, Mitchell drew her to her bosom and made her to rest her head while she let it all out. The bonding was not a coincidence. Ruby loved the parents of the only man she loved without knowing. Above all, the grandparents of her unborn baby. Nevertheless, Sir Jason and Lady Mitchell Stewart were unaware that they were in love with their future daughter-in-law, the mother of their unborn and much cherished grandchild or grandchildren. Above all, the lady, who parried off the girls, who made their son a public dog. Then, Lady Mitchell teased, “It is okay, my daughter. Don't cry too much so that the baby would not suffer from colic.”“Or a crybaby,"/Sir Jason added. Now, they watched Ruby to see her reaction, and she stopped crying at once. The four exchanged glances while she dried her tears.'
