CHAPTER 121–ELIZABETH ALLAN

“Geoffrey Smythe, what have we told you about talking to strangers?” Kathy said. When she returned and interrupted the enjoyable conversation Elizabeth, and her grandson were having. The serious little boy before her couldn't escape her thoughts - he was her grandson. Elizabeth liked Kathy instantly for caring what Geoffrey did and with whom. It reminded Elizabeth about how she’d not done that enough with Heath. “I’m not supposed to talk to strangers because there could be stranger danger.” Geoff said to Kathy. His contrite response made Elizabeth realize that Kathy had likely had this conversation with Geoffrey before. So, he’s smart and friendly. It could become problematic over time. The family would have their hands full with him. “Exactly.” Kathy gave Geoff the snack he asked for. She glanced distractedly at the way Parker left. Elizabeth assumed she anxiously waited for his return. “It’s alright. If this boy’s mother is Dr. Ivy Smy

CHAPTER 122- PARKER

Parker struggled to find anyone willing to share information with him. The hospital tightened their policy on security and privacy after an incident several years ago. The police presence kept the staff vigilant for anything unusual. Parker now stood cornered by several police officers. He felt like he’d landed up in an interrogation. “I’m Mr. Allan’s personal assistant and friend. He asked me to escort his son here with his caregiver. The boy is frantic to know what is happening to his mother and father.” Parker was aware of his appearance to the loitering police officers. He didn’t know whether they were there for Heath’s protection or someone else. However, he had to persuade the officers of his purpose on that floor in that ward. “Where’s the boy and caregiver?” They’d already stopped and carded him. Parker even showed them his museum identification. The worst part is he felt like a teen caught with alcohol at a beach party after cur

CHAPTER 123–KATHY & PARKER

Parker pulled Kathy aside before they entered the room. “What is going on?” “I know it’s a little late. But I think she’s going through a mid-life crisis or an awakening. Something like that. Something’s triggered her developing a conscience, and she’s got enough regrets to sink a ship.” Kathy gazed at Parker, looking both mystified and bemused. She felt uncertain about everything. She’d never met the woman or heard her speak. From her conversations with Ivy and Heath, she gathered a little information. The woman carried herself with superiority, unapologetic for her words and actions. Even when someone pointed out she’d done or said something wrong.Confused, Parker briefly interacted with the woman, asking, "Is that right?" Has she acted this way towards you and Geoff the whole time? I need to know; this isn’t what she’s like everyday. Is it possible she's had a stroke? Parker went to enter the patient room, wondering if they should speak to Heath. The two of

CHAPTER 124–IVY & HEATH

“Sir, the doctor sent me to perform the cheek swabs. If you and the boy will sit here, we’ll finish in no time.” A nurse entered with a small plastic tray in her hands. True to form, she efficiently finished her task. She left with an officer following her. Heath found it odd, but he assumed they wanted to ensure that no one tampered with the results. Which only helped him out in the long run with his case to have his name added to Geoffrey’s birth certificate. “Heath, could they have a secondary reason for taking a sample?” Parker pulled Heath aside. He watched Heath with an odd look in his eyes. Heath asked Parker, "What could that be?" He frowned. Everyone’s appearance looked as they felt. Tired. "To eliminate you as a suspect?" Parker said to Heath. Where Geoff couldn’t hear. “Well, that should be simple. I’ve done nothing illegal.” Heath said to Parker. Before he scoffed at this thought. However, it occupied

CHAPTER 125–GEOFF

“Dad?” Geoff sat at the breakfast table as Heath put his breakfast down before him. In the last week, his father, Kathy, and Parker had made sure he’d had everything he needed. Except his mom. His mom was in the hospital and Geoff wanted her home. It was nice to know he wasn’t the only one. His dad wanted her home. He didn’t seem happy with her there. “What’s up, bud?” Geoff started in on the eggs and toast his dad gave him. “I know you said we’d wait for mom to come home to celebrate my birthday. Can we celebrate it and her coming home at the same time? I don’t want any party. His dad sat down beside him once he poured himself a coffee. Over breakfast, thoughts of his new life filled Geoff with curiosity. It looked so different from what he’d ever seen. The house his dad said was his new home looked larger than his school and he worried he might lose his way in it. “Well, if we kept it small, we could easily do that. Your mom can’t be g

CHAPTER 126–GEOFFREY & HEATH

“So, like a doctor. They spend a significant amount of time in school to learn their craft. His dad had fixated a conversation topic again. He hated anyone not understanding him. So, Geoff listened to him explaining something to him that made little sense now. Geoff doubted the usefulness of the information to him. But he’d listen because he’d learned how his dad thought and what he felt was important. Geoff wanted to be like him. Wasn’t he supposed to be like his father and grandfather? Rage consumed him as he dwelled on his father’s dissatisfaction with his grandparents. “Unfortunately, society frowns upon those who work in food service, waste disposal, and toilet cleaning roles. Yet, if they didn’t. Imagine the consequences for the world.” Geoff saw his dad deep in thought. Geoff empathized with his dad’s dissatisfaction and understood the pain of experiencing bulling. He ensured he didn’t reciprocate the same favor to someone who helped the family with task

CHAPTER 127- HEATH

“Then we deal with it. We fix or learn from mistakes. Otherwise, they might need to seek employment elsewhere. It’s not nice, but it sometimes happens. But that’s a matter for your mom or me to deal with. You never threaten to let someone go from their job. Their job isn’t something you should use to blackmail them with. Oh, and another thing. Never kiss the help. No matter how much you want to, or they ask you to. It’s wrong. If they choose you, they can’t work for us. It’s too easy for someone to see it as you’re taking advantage of your position, and it can look terrible in the eyes of the law. The person may manipulate the relationship to extort money or favors from you. Either way, it’s wrong and we don’t do it.” “Okay, so don’t kiss the cute maid cleaning your office. Got it.” Geoff made a gagging sound at the thought of kissing a girl. Heath laughed. He’d forgotten about that part of his life then. Girls were icky. Perhaps he had several years before nee

CHAPTER 128–HEATH

“Your mom specializes in cleaning and restoring things like ancient vases, paintings, books, and artifacts. We can’t buy these in just any store because the artists who created them died a long time ago. She tries her best to return them to the way they looked when they were new, but it’s hard to do. If someone who’s not trained tries to do it, they’ll probably ruin the item. That item might be the only piece of evidence proving something happened in history. So, we lose it’s historical or cultural importance when it’s gone. Your mom works on paintings, which the air, time, and dust darken, changing the colors within the painting. She’s the one who restores the paintings to their original appearance., she has people on staff who fix the damaged books they incur from time. Some old books need to be sewn or glued back together. If they used the wrong thread or glue, the book’s value would fall. Bugs, water, and other issues plague everything. Your mom can assess whether some

CHAPTER 129 - IVY

Ivy noticed Heath’s first disapproval. “Can’t we do that later, away from Geoff, at the hospital? Can it wait until later?” “Heath, no. Geoff will learn that your family, his family, is far from perfect. I want him to know what he’s entering.” “Ivy, he’s an eight-year-old boy.” “My point. I don’t want him to go into your family only to learn he’s considered less than.” “Ivy, that’s outrageous. That would never happen.” Elizabeth said. Her outrage was clear in her words and tone. Her eyes were wide with surprise, and she found it difficult to close her lips. “Really, Mrs. Allan? I wasn’t good enough. Why would I think you’d feel that my son was?” “Mistake made, now in the past. Can’t we please move past that?” “Mom. What are you saying? You are great. The best mom ever.” “Sadly, not everyone thinks so, bud. Several people here don’t believe I’m good enough for your dad and I want

CHAPTER 130 - HEATH

Heath had his hands full with work, Geoff, the move, and Ivy. She healed so well that the doctor wanted to send her home early. Heath extended his time off from work. He didn’t need to explain the chaos didn’t to be anyone. His mother did the talking. She’s spoken to several of the board members’ wives, and they understood why he wouldn’t be there every day. Heath suspected by the time she finished working on the wives, they returned the favor and gave their husbands an earful of what they thought of the situation. He’d found out that of another over the years, the board members’ wives had in fact met his son and Geoff endeared himself to everyone of them. The women were on Ivy’s side. One day one, Heath moved in and received gifts for Ivy and Geoff from women. Thankfully, he’d used the full-service movers, and they were doing the full unpacking with his house staff, helping with directions on where everything went. They’d sleep in the new house ton
