Patrick Connor just woke up that morning and took a bath. He had this dream that he didn't understand where its beginning sprouted from nor where it was ending. He saw himself in a family circle. And like he has a family. But where those families came from or where they met,he doesn't know. Well whatever, he came over to make breakfast. He got to his kitchen and prepared himself scrambled eggs with grilled toasted bread. He got a glass of coffee and set it on the dining table when his doorbell rang. So early, he wasn't expecting anyone at all. He got to the door and was surprised when he saw Ms Luna Wesley standing by the door. They met in X-city, a friend of Aurora. They stood staring at each other, the older woman's eyes welled up with tears and Patrick was stunned the more. “Come in Ms Luna” he invited, looking past her to the surroundings. Why is she looking so worked up and coming to his door so early? He held the door and Luna stepped in. The Un
Patrick just stared at them as if they were cracking jokes or they were acting comedy. What is the meaning of the statement they just made? How can they be his parents? “I don't understand those lines of words” Patrick stuttered, his face drained of anything that appeared like a smile. He glanced from Luna to Richard and to Luna again. “He'd always carried this idea of his mother as someone with a questionable character, hence her identity was never unveiled to him. In fact his Foster father, Patrick Connor, who named him after himself, once said no one actually knows the identity of his mother. Staring at Luna, he doesn't know what to think. Then Richard, he'd always been an uncle to him. He's Adrian's dad, for heaven's sake. When did his best friend's dad become his father? “It's unfortunate that the three of us are getting to sit together as a family for the first time. It's not your fault at all ,Patrick. If there's anyone to be blamed, that should be me.
Richard bursted into laughter. Sam Kechi must have thought he was a straw backed man that would shrink after hearing those threats. He was wrong, he had thought him very low in that aspect. He doesn't need him to send threats before he knows what he should do. When he had him arrested, he knew he was involved with his wife. If he wanted to protect Anna, he wouldn't have requested for his arrest. Seeing that Richard chuckled rather than giving him a response, Sam Kechi's lawyer continued “You're Richard Lester. There isn't anyone in New Jersey who doesn't know that name nor the name of your son, Adrian Lester. You can simply withdraw the charges against my client and we go our separate ways after all, the one affected has regained her freedom. There isn't much ado about this…” “Your words stink in my ears. You know I am Richard Lester and you dare to bring Sam Kechi's threats to my hearing? You've got nerves and your heart must be good at daring things and damning
Clem's excitement was short-lived as he glared at the doctor. Why is there a “But” when He said he was free from harm's way? This is contradictory. “Until he gets better, he has been warned not to take alcohol and he needs to see the doctor often because one of the bullets brushed the sides of his liver. He needs regular checks to ensure he is not in any form of future danger. But for now, we can't say anything” the doctor explained. Old man Lester was quiet, not able to say anything. What's going on with his son? Adrian is in danger, they should have just said it point blank and not to be so careful in the selection of words they use. “Is my grandson in danger, just say it already?” Grandfather asked, his old hands shaking and when Clem saw the trembling hands, he held him into an embrace. “No. He is not in any danger but we can't say these same words in a few months' time if he engages in alcohol and doesn't come for check ups” they explained further.
Patrick was annoyed. He was displeased with Aurora. She shot Adrian and dared to call him, telling him she did that? No matter what happens, he can never give Adrian up for anything in this life. He loves Adrian despite his cold heartedness and arrogance, they still get along with each other in spite of the little things that make them frown at each other. “No, Patrick. It was an accident. I didn't mean it. It just happened and he was operated upon. Against the doctor's advice he returned to New Jersey and Clem said he is in a serious condition now…” Aurora was still saying when Patrick interrupted her. “I'll talk to you later” he hung up and called Adrian. Contrary to his expectations, his friend answered his phone and he asked “Where are you?” “In the Lester mansion” Adrian replied and Patrick hung up. He got ready and headed towards the Lester mansion. He didn't know that Adrian was in such a delicate condition and he's not by his side. When he arrive
Aurora was taken aback. Why is she asking her if he is dead? Elsie had suddenly become reserved after the incident that day. She knows it's psychological. It came to her as a shock, seeing someone bleeding that much. “No he's not dead. He's getting better now” Aurora replied, forcing a smile and talking flippantly, an act to make Elsie believe her. “Will you take me to him?” Elsie requested. It looked like he would die that day. She wants to see him and talk to him again. Besides, he bought her a lot of play things and her Mommy has asked that the servants throw them out and they did. “He's not in X-city anymore. But he'll come back soon once he gets perfectly alright. Then you'll see him” Aurora replied. Thank goodness that he'd left the city, otherwise she would have insisted on going to see him. As for coming back, Adrian will definitely come back again. If not for her, he would come for Elsie or Santiago. And they would stumble upon each other. Now that
In the hospital, Patrick Connor was seated with Luna Wesley. They had both come over for a DNA test as requested by Patrick. He had called Luna earlier that day and requested that the only condition in which he can accept her as his mother, is to be certain about the bond they shared. Quickly, Luna agreed to come over for the DNA. That's how they ended up in the hospital. Richard was not brought into the picture. Patrick doesn't want him to be involved with these. He already has his family. They shouldn't come into his life to disrupt their happy home. If he ends up being Luna Wesley's son, they'll have a severe relationship with Richard. It was while they were there that there was breaking news: Anna Lester was making a video from her bedroom. At this time, Adrian just locked himself up in his bedroom. His Mom pleaded with him but he refused. She should hand herself over to the police first. Perhaps her punishment would be minimal. But she needs to do the
Adrian read the posts and comments and took them all in. He didn't murder Ava Leon, nor her dad. Ava Leon was still alive but Sam Leon died before him but he didn't murder him. Those who don't know his story that accuse him wrongly would one day cover their face in shame when they will eventually know the truth. But Clem kept deleting the comments until there was none left. Every comment coming was blocked from coming online. Anna had made a confession and had been arrested by the police, that's what mattered. Patrick drove Luna home. He was protecting her. Her name has been mentioned and no one knows how they did it; her picture was now littering on social media. The pictures of the young beautiful Luna and her present pictures. He doesn't want the journalists to recognise her and starts bothering her with questions. “Lay low now, until everything is suppressed” Patrick advised when he got to her home. The bond was already forming. He never imagined t
