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.'
“I just did. Oh! It's Mrs. Gail,” he announced, and it awakened Stanley's curiosity. He watched him pick the call and greeted, “Hello, Mrs. Gail, how may I help you?”“Hello, Johnny, there is a lady at the gate who wished to see you. She had refused to disclose her identity and mission to your house, and I'm not going to let her in.”Mrs. Gail informed with a tone of finality. Now, Johnny looked at Stanley, who was listening to their discussions, and he smirked.“I will be with you shortly, Mrs. Gail.” She responded.Stanley turned on his ignition and drove off to the house at once.“All odds are militating against the young Casanova. And he must change for good this time.” Stanley teased, but Johnny was more worried about the person who could be visiting him, and did not have his contact to, at least, give him a call.“Who could that be?” He asked with a worried look.“Let's find out. If it's an intruder, I will continue from where Ruby stopped.” Stanley assured. Johnny laughed soft
He walked out of the office at once and joined Stanley in his car and they breathed easily.“I thought she came because of Ruby.” Stanley pointed out. “I wondered so, too. But was it not obvious. The supply, was it not for her unborn grandchild?”They laughed at the coincidence, and Stanley commended, “You are right. Let's get Carmine at once.”“It is all right.”They drove off to the girls' hostel.At the Clinic.After Lady Mitchell left, Ruby was on cloud nine, and Dr. Harmon noticed it.“Congratulations, Ruby,” she wished her.“Thank you, Dr. Harmon. It is good to know that someone somewhere loves you.”“You are right.”“Can you ask Prof. Farrell to give me my phone? I want to inform my friend that I am in the clinic. She would have been troubled by now.”Dr. Harmon would not want to go against the VC's order, so, she applied caution.“It is okay. Let us wait for his guests to leave.”Afterward, she walked to the Vice Chancellor's office to retrieve her phone and to her advantage,
“Hello, my Ruby.”“Hello, Johnny. I miss you. I am at the Senior Staff Clinic.”“Hold on. We are coming over.”“No. You…”(Cut)“Where is she?”“She is at the Senior Staff Clinic.”“Wow!” Carmine, who was unaware of the fracas which Ruby's call averted, exclaimed. Then, Stanley made a detour backwards and headed to the gate. Likewise, Carmine placed a call to her at once and requested.“Hello, girl. Which ward are you?”“I'm in Dr. Harmon's room. Tell Johnny that he should not bother to come. The doctor said I needed rest.”“Okay.”“Rest my foot. Is she ill?” Stanley yelled. “Mhhm” Johnny heaved. Although, Stanley never doubted Ruby's faithfulness, but anything could happen, and he had to be proactive. Soon, they were at the Senior Staff Clinic. Before Stanley would pull up, Johnny was already out of the car. Meanwhile, Carmine, was scared to her bone. She ran after him as he walked briskly after he got off his car.'What is wrong if the doctor said that she needed to rest?' Carmine
