Chapter Hundred And Ten

Evelyn's POV

It was Leonard, he was carrying the baby, the excitement in his face before I slept off had vanished.

 “ Babe, what's going on?” I asked.

But he didn't say anything, his head was just bowed down slightly, as if finding answers from the baby.

My mind started reeling with several thoughts, I knew he had gone to see my dad, did he not like the child?

“ Say something.” I said desperately.

“ I'm sorry Evelyn.” He said but then paused again, his lips shaking.

The door of the room opened again, and the Caregiver walked in.

She was also cold. I became confused.

“ Was anything wrong with my baby? I asked myself.

“ Babe you have to be strong, I'm sorry Mr Wyatt. He didn't complete his sentence when I realized what he was trying to say.

My dad was dead, Mr Wyatt was dead. My life was over, literally what came to my mind.

“ Noo, no, say something else.” I said, tears streaming down my face.

It became difficult to breathe. I was choking on air. I wept bitterly on the bed, Leonard tried to calm me down but he couldn't. I cried until I couldn't any more.

“ Sorry ma'am.” The caretaker sent her condolences, she tried to speak but seeing that I wasn't listening to her she kept quiet and just quietly sympathized with me.

The baby started to cry and Leonard picked him up from the bed he had dropped him. 

“ How can fate be so cruel to me? Why ?” I asked more like a whisper. And continued crying.

Time flew so fast and then evening calm, I had tried to manage my pains at the time, I had also accepted my fate.

I felt super better, I didn't feel any pain any more. Everything was now normal.

I requested that I needed to see my dad's body. Leonard took me there and then we left the baby with my dads caregiver.

As we entered the cold room, the collector directed us to my dad's cabinet.

He opened it. I took a look, I held the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes. Leonard rubbed my shoulders gently. 

After I spent enough of the time I needed. We left back to my hospital room.

Then Leonard's phone started to ring. It was his mom. “ Please, what room are you in?” She asked gently from the phone. Leonard asked where she was and went out to get her. It didn't take so much time before they arrived together.

“ Oh my darling, I hope you're fine.” She said immediately she walked into the room. She walked towards me and embraced me into a hug.

As she gave her condolences, tears were dropping from her eyes, triggering mine. But I was determined not to shade them.

“ It's alright. I'm fine. I have you and Leonard still.” I said to her, she loosened her grip on me a bit and tried to relax herself. Then she turned to the baby. And took him from the caregiver’s hands. 

She admired the baby for a while. While everything was over the doctors came in and discharged us from the hospital.

Leonard drove us all to The house_His mansion.

The caregiver had decided to stick around until everything was fine, I was so grateful to her, she has been more like a sister to me and I appreciate her So much. “ Thank you for Everything.” I said to her, remembering that she had done more than her job required.

“ I have also been rewarded unmatched to the work I have done, and this is the only way I can pay back.” She said politely.  

Just then my phone started ringing. When I checked the caller it was my secretary.

I picked it up and she congratulated me. I answered and we had a little more talk before we parted.

I would have wondered how she got the information, but then Leonard is saying celebrity. His news didn't hesitate to make the social media.

The press and media bloggers has a way of finding out what was happening.

I also got a call from Samantha’s parents sending their condolences and also congrats.

I asked them to bring the kids over the next day, which they agreed.

Mia and Leonard had proceeded to make preparations for my dad's burial.

While the caregiver was being so helpful.  

It was the first time I was holding the baby since his birth. I stared at it lovingly and thanked the Goddess for blessing me with such beauty.

My baby, who had beautiful ocean eyes just like his dad, looked so peaceful as he was sleeping. He was still too young to say who he looked like. But I didn't care, his warmth filled my heart with Joy.

I took his tiny hand in mine and kissed it. “ Ma'am your bath is ready. The caregiver’s voice called me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“ Alright, thank you.” I said and handed the baby to her. 

Mia came in after I had my bath and prepared the baby for the evening.

The evening was short for me, I slept so early, I was woken by the sounds Leonard and the baby were making.

It was 4am in the morning.

I woke up to Leonard who was trying difficulty to put the baby to sleep. 

“ Let me have him.” I said to him groggily.

“ Thank goodness you're awake.” He said happily.

I smiled and took the baby from him. Then I breastfeed him quickly. Within little time he had slept off. I laid him in bed gently. I tried to sleep back but I couldn't. I was trying to wrap my head around the fact that I had lost my dad. I cried silently. At the time Leonard had gone downstairs. He was helping me with a project in my office.

I became really hot so I stepped into the bathroom a d had a quick bath.

As the water cascaded on my body, the temperature sent chills to my nerves and I felt better. Coming out of the bathroom I went downstairs. Only to see his mom assisting him with the work.

I smiled at how lucky I am and joined them. And then soon the morning was wearing in fast. 

When it was 7am we had finished with the work. Mia retired to sleep and then the caregiver came out of her room. Leonard had assigned a room to her.
