JANE'S POV.The ward was filled with Sarah and Jacob's voices; they were shouting at the top of their voices. I wonder why the security hasn't called them to order. Why are they even yelling anyway? Aren't they supposed to be hugging, considering that Jacob had been away for a while? I approached them to find out what the problem was and why they were yelling like my grandparents."What is wrong, guys? I've only been gone for 10 minutes, and you guys are almost tearing each other apart. This is not the reunion I was expecting. Hi Jacob, welcome back to New York. Jacob's face was red as he tried to control his words. He answered me lightly and went back to raising his voice."How can you be so careless? Sarah, how can you leave Daisy in a room that was really cold and the air conditioner tuned to the highest? Why couldn't you be more careful? Daisy is just a few days old, and you want to send her back to her maker?"Don't be ridiculous, Jacob; it was just a mistake;
JANE’S POV.I knew Sarah’s heart was beating faster than mine as we walked to the doctor’s office. We didn’t say a word to each other, but there was an unspoken communication I could feel as we both held hands. She held me tightly, and we sat down and fixed our gazes on him as we anticipated his report."Your daughter Daisy is such a strong child; we almost lost her because she was in a very critical condition when you brought her in. She is stable now but please, you have to be very careful. I see this is your first child so I'll suggest you employ an experienced nanny to help you look after Daisy."Thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much."You are welcome. How are you feeling? You know you shouldn't go through all this stress; it is not good for your health. Please try to relax and put your mind at rest; your daughter is going to be right. She will be discharged as soon as she wakes up but you have to bring her back here if you notice any changes in her body tem
JANE’S POV.When the tension was too much, I instructed my children’s nanny to take them home so they could prepare for school the next day. They didn't even complain because they spent their whole afternoon disturbing me.“Sarah was rushed into the wards and the doctor started stitching her immediately; her stitches loosened when she fell to the ground. Jacob was there this time and he witnessed the tension first hand. His wife and his daughter were both lying in the hospital bed; he was destabilized; he was pacing around the same way I was the day they operated on Sarah. The doctor came out and walked directly towards Us. “She is going to be alright, but I told you guys not to allow her to stress herself; she just had a cesarean section a few days ago and she is already pacing around the hospital. Please, when she is discharged, take good care of her and make sure she doesn't lift anything heavy.She needs rest—lots of it. Mr. Jacob, please employ the service
JANE’S POVI slept off when I entered the Hospital. I had my phone on my chest all night long. I was so happy to see Jaxson’s text. I didn't respond to it, though, and I was happy he reached out. By the time I opened my eyes, it was daybreak, and Jacob was pressing his phone. Sarah had been awake for a while but they didn't allow her to see us; they insisted she breastfed her baby first. After she was done, they allowed us inside. Jacob gave his wife a hug and a peck on her forehead and she handed baby Daisy over to him. I saw tears drop when he held his daughter for the first time; they were tears of Joy. “Daddy loves you, Daisy. Daddy loves you. It was fun to watch Jacob's face. Had Jaxson replied to my letter five years ago, he would have done the same thing with his triplet too. “Isn't she so pretty, Jane? She looks so much like me."Yes, she does. How are you feeling, Sarah? “I feel hungry, Jane, but the doctor said I cannot eat anything solid. “Should I ord
JANE’S POV. The room was quiet, and my kids fixed their gaze on me as they expected and answered, but I was too stunned to speak. I could feel the room compressing me and my hands became sweaty. My kids have never asked me that question before; somehow I knew that day would come but I wasn't expecting it to be today. “Come here, my little cuties. I held the three of them and brought them close to my body.“You know Mummy loves you all, right?“Yes, mummy.“Good, so now is not the time to know about your father, but when you kids get older, you will meet him soon. But for now, focus on making Mommy proud with good grades.“Doesn't he want us, mummy? Is he ashamed of us?"No, Kieth, why would you say that? He loves you all but he is not around for now. He is busy preparing for the day he’ll come and start a family with Us. OK, kids?“Ok, mummy. I left them playing with their toys and I went straight to my room to cry. I was so emotional; everything was overwhelming
JANE’S POV.My heart started beating fast, my knees became weak, and I tried to yell but there was no sound coming out. I left the items I bought at the doorpost as I rushed down the stairs.Jacob followed me and met me halfway to the car. He only had his briefs on as he chased after me and held my right arm from behind in a bid to prevent me from moving any further. He was panting as he tried to speak to me.“Jane, I can explain; it's not what you think. I can explain everything you saw. “I would have given you a slap if you were not my friend’s husband. So Sarah’s instinct was right after all.“I’m sorry, Jane; it was just a moment of weakness.“So she was the reason why you extended your trip and lied that you couldn't get a flight back to New York. How can you be so heartless, Jacob?Your wife and your daughter are at the hospital fighting for their lives and you are here screwing her cousin."Please, Jane, don't tell Sarah about this; it will break her he
JANE’S POV.My heart skipped a beat when I saw Jaxson. There was no way for me to hide because he was standing face-to-face with me. “Hi Jane, we meet again.“Hi, Jaxson. “Can I pay for that?“No, you do not have to. I can pay for it myself.“I know you can pay for it for yourself; I'm just offering to help.“Thanks, but no thanks."OK, fine, can we have dinner this weekend? “I’m not interested in hanging out with you, Jaxson; please stop trying.“What have I done, Jane? You've been practically ignoring me since I saw you at your office. Did I offend you? Please tell me I'm ready to rewrite my mistakes“So bold of you to come to me after five years and act like nothing happened?“We had a lovely conversation and a passionate night together; that was the last time I heard from you; there was no way I could reach you. You liar, you want to tell me you didn't get my letter?“What letter are you talking about, Jane?“You know what? I cannot deal with this right
JANE’S POV.“What are you doing here, Jaxson? How did you find me? What do you want?“Calm down, Jane; your ATM card fell off of your wallet after you made payment at the store,I was looking around to make sure my kids didn't come downstairs; it would be a tragedy if Jaxson saw them. That was the longest 3 minutes of my life.“Thank you for bringing my card; that was so nice of you. I collected the card and waited for him to turn and leave but he fixed his gaze on me.“Won't you invite me in, Jane, to come have a glass of wine?“I cannot invite you, Jaxson; this house doesn't belong to me; it belongs to my friend. I'm just squatting."I see. Here is your card. Have you made up your mind about dinner with me?"We will talk on the phone; you have to leave now; I don't want to get into trouble. "OK, fine, I'll leave. But I won't move an inch if you don't give me a hug.“You are just trouble, Jaxson. I moved to hug him and he pulled me closer, pressed me to his ch
