🤍CHAPTER 58 & 59🤍

📲You don’t mean what you just said, do you?

Samuel asked Ellen for the tenth time after telling him who’s behind Cindy’s pregnancy.

📞I am damn serious here dear. What do we do? Cindy must not know.

📲Just don’t tell her anything yet, okay?

📞Trust me.

The call ended.

***
Anger rose up from the pit of Samuel’s body and took over him. He couldn’t believe what he just heard.

“So, that silly soul that almost have his way to Cindy’s body that night is the one behind all this drama? I can’t believe this!” He ranted pacing up and down his office.

His phone rang…it was an unknown number.

📲Hello… it’s Lizzy. Is this doctor Samuel?

📞Oh… yeah. how’re you

📲Fine. Just wanna confirm if this is truly your number. I will text you the address of the restaurant in a jiffy.

📞Oh…about that, make it another time. Right now, there’s something important I gotta attend to. I hope you understand.

📲Oh…ok…okay. but I really wanna make it up with you badly. Are you still mad at me that you don’t wanna eat with me?

📞this has nothing to do with you, okay? Sorry, but I’m hanging up.

He said and ended the call.

“How do we go about this?” He asked himself calling Ellen again.

📲Hi. Let’s meet later In the evening together with Fred

📞where?

📲Your restaurant

📞 Great. See you!

***

“Why would he end the call without me finishing what I wanna say?” Lizzy soliloquies.

“What is that important thing he wants to attend to other than Cindy.” She added and rolled her eyes walking away.

“How’s Ann?” She heard the voice she’s been dying to heard from behind.

She stopped walking and slowly looked at the direction the voice came from.

There, she saw John standing and looking more handsome than ever. He wasn’t frowning and not smiling either. It’s hærd to detect the mood he’s in.

“I asked of Ann.” He repeated jerking her off her thought

“Fine. She’s fine.” Lizzy said.

John smiled and left her leaving her speechless.

“What was that?” She asked herself.

“How do I make it up with him?” She asked herself again.

“Oh…two people to make things up with! I’m finally going nuts!” She almost scre-med.

@The Hospital

“How’re you?” Emmanuel asked Jenny

She eyed him and hissed loudly.

“See…you need to get well first before you’d start this drama, okay? Let’s take it one at a time.” He said.

“I need some money.” She said not looking at him

“I just gave you huge amount of money a day before you’re hospitalized. Were you spending money here on sick bed?” He asked.

” Whatever! I need money and I’d be expecting the alert otherwise…” She stressed the last word before keeping quiet.

” Okay! Fine!” He said angrily and left.

Jenny let out a mocking laughter after he left.

“By the time I’m done with you…you’ll curse the day you’re born.” She said and hissed again.

Hours Later🕔

” Gosh! I’m so hungry.” Cindy lamented.

The thought of her male friend crossed her head. She mustered up all the courage in her and left her office to Samuel’s.

She knocked gently and entered without waiting for any response. She closed the door noiselessly and walked fully in,side the office

She met him standing by the window and looking outside.

“Sam?…” She called softly.

He heard her and knew it’s her but decided not to turn.. he’s avoiding her face or he do crazy things.

“I don’t know why you’re avoiding me or treating me like this, but can we just sort things out and talk it out like an adult?” She asked.

No response.

“I fully think you should understand me instead of being like this…but it’s fine.” She said again, sadly.

No response.

“No response is also a response…a meaningful one.” She said and turn to leave but she turned around again , walked to where he was standing and hugged him from behind.

Her touch on his body made him shiver – it’s sending cold chills down his spine.

” What are you doing to me?” He asked within himself as he’s trying hærd to avoid turning himself around to face her and hug her back even more tighter.

” I miss you..” she said closing her eyes to savour the moment.

Minutes later, she withdrew from the hug and left his office still hurt.

****★

“Nurse Mimi… follow me to my office.” Fred said.

,”Yes doctor” Mimi said and followed him.

“Have your seat” he said immediately they got to his office.

“thank you doctor”

Fred took his seat too and stared at her for some minutes.

“This particular IVF…am I the one that carried it out?” He asked showing the record (Cindy’s).

Mimi’s heart stopped beating for some seconds before it resumed beating .
Fred noticed that but kept silence.

“my goodness! Why is he asking me of all other nurses in here? Gosh! I’d have say the truth back then but money silenced me. Now, he’s asking me.” Mimi thought crying in,side of her.

“Am I the one?” He asked again making her jerk off her thoughts.

“No doctor. It’s the other doctor.”

“You can go.” Fred said.

“,You said?” She asked again, her body shaking.

“Leave.” He said coldly.

TWO DAYS Later

📲Yes mum?

📞Come drive us home, your sister’s being discharged today.

📲Sorry mum. Call a taxi or anything. Jenny’s been discharged today too so I need to take her home first

📞 What? So because of one silly girl, right?

📲No mum. Not a silly girl but who I wanna marry.

📞 Unbelievable!

📲Besides, I don’t want to have anything to do with Dammie. She’s a disgrace to the family.

📞 Don’t say that to my daughter again. How about you? Are you a grace to the family? You abandoned a lovely lady to a wh-re. When it reach turn to something else for you, do not call me. Bye and stop insulting my daughter.

Emmanuel breathed out and walked into Jenny’s ward who’s obviously ready to leave.

“Where are you taking me to?” She asked.

“Your house”

“Why not yours?* She asked.

” I don’t want…”

” Hey…shut it. Don’t be a coward. Are you scare of your so called wife? If you’ll take me to my house then I’m cutting all ties with you.” She said.

” Alright then. My house but please, be careful and don’t cause trouble.”

Jenny rolled her eyes and hissed silently.

****

Cindy was in the kitchen when they arrived home. She cared not about them, so she continued cooking with her headphone on listening to music and swaying her body to the rhythm…

“Have your seat, let me get you a drink.” Emmanuel said.

Jenny nodded and sat down.

He came back minutes later with the water. He sat down beside her and then his tummy made some funny noise – hunger.

He hasn’t taken a nice meal since Jenny was admitted to the hospital.
The aroma of what Cindy’s cooking filled his nostrils when he went to the kitchen earlier and he’s craving for it. Jenny heard the sound and chuckled.

“You’re hungry?” She asked.

“Yes and I’d be glad if you can enter that kitchen and prepare me anything.” He said.

“Anything?” She asked.

“Yes. I’m hungry.” He said.

“Alright my love.” Jenny said and pecked him before leaving…

She was startled when she saw Cindy in the kitchen. The aroma of Cindy’s food made her leg wobbled.

She cleared her throat loudly to make her presence known to Cindy but Cindy didn’t even hear…due to the headphone that she’s using.

She got angry ’cause she didn’t get the attention she needed. She moved closer to her and peeped on what’s she preparing…her mouth opened on their own and couldn’t close it back.

“Who knew a doctor that’s always occupy with works will know how to cook like this?” Jenny thought.

Cindy was preparing for herself, vegetable stew together with assorted meat and fishes.

Cindy turned to rinse her hand when she saw Jenny with her opened mouth.

” Any problem?” She asked.

Jenny quickly composed herself and felt so embarrassed walking away from her to the breakfast stool.

Cindy laughed shortly and continue with the cooking. In some minutes, she’s done with the stew and poundo she made. She dished herself and walked out of the kitchen.

Jenny looked around the kitchen looking for what to cook but found nothing. Not that there’s no foodstuff but there’s none she could prepare all by herself.

Then, her eyes caught with the cartons of noodles in the cabinet. Her face turned into a big smile and she quickly went for it.

**

Emmanuel has been salivating waiting for Jenny to bring his food. He has dreamed that it’d be more sweeter than Cindy’s own.

Cindy doesn’t even care. She was eating comfortably in the dining.
Few minutes later, Jenny came out of the kitchen.

“Babe, your food is ready.” She announced happily as she placed the covered plate on the dining adjacent to where Cindy’s sitting.

“Wow! So fast. You’re a fast cook other than some people that’d spend one hour in the kitchen cooking rubbish.” Emmanuel said referring to Cindy but she still care not.

The joy the food is giving her is unexplainable. She can’t believe she’s eating what she cooked.. ’cause she sometimes ended up losing interest in it but today’s different.

Emmanuel sat down and was wondering if Cindy heard him at all but he needs to satisfy the worms in his stomach first.

He smiled at Jenny who sat beside him rubbing his head. He faced the food and opened it…he looked at Jenny again to be sure.

“Enjoy your meal love.. I tried everything in me to make it look spicy. Try it” Jenny said

“What is this?” He asked.

“Food. What happened?”She asked.

“Can’t you prepare another food? Like that one.” He said pointing at Cindy’s almost empty plate

“Really? I know men cannot be satisfy. But can’t you just appreciate my effort and stop saying nonsense?” She said raising her voice.

“Really? I should eat this baby food when I’m not one? I can’t remember the last time I ate noodles that’s if I even eat it at all ” he said

Cindy took a glass of water to stop herself from laughing out loud. She’s done eating. She stood up, packed her used plate and went to the kitchen.

Emmanuel and Jenny continued their argument in the dining …he angrily left the dining and went upstairs.

Jenny hissed and insulted him before eating the noodles. She spit it out immediately it entered her mouth

“Gosh…I can’t even eat it. What happened to it, why’s it do salty?” She questioned.

“Oh…the salt I added is too much. Can’t even prepare single noodles. What a waste.” She said and saw Cindy walked in ..she quickly pretend like the noodles is the sweetest.

Cindy walked passed her and went to her room. Jenny dropped the fork immediately and pushed the food away from her.

“So arrogant.” She said and packed the food to the kitchen to dispose it. In the kitchen, she was tempted to open Cindy’s pot but she restrained herself. She thereby went to the living room to watch movie.

★**★
An Hour Later 🕔

The hunger was too much for Emmanuel to handle…he made up his mind to face whatever the outcome would be. He left his bedroom quietly and gently descended the staircase to the kitchen. Luckily, Jenny was so much engrossed in the movie that she has no idea of what’s happening around her.

He got to the kitchen and luckily, the food still remain in the warmer. He served himself and started eating like a starved dog without bothering to sit down.

Meanwhile, Cindy was craving for some snacks, and she’s too lazy to go get it in the kitchen. But she eventually did anyways – not as if there’s someone to get it for her.

She was surprised seeing Emmanuel’s backside In the kitchen. She almost laughed but she suppressed the laughter by covering her mouth.
.
She knew exactly what he’s doing but she decided to watch him more.

Emmanuel finally finished eating and rinse his hand and mouth. He breathed out in relieve.

“This is a great meal. Cindy’s such a good cook. ” He commented.

He then turned to leave the kitchen when he saw the unexpected.

” Don’t be shocked. Are you satisfy or you want more?” She asked gently.

” I…I ..I am…o..I am ok.” He stuttered.

Cindy nodded and smiled at him before walking passed him to get what she wanted.
Emmanuel dragged himself out of the kitchen.

***
Back in the room.

Cindy’s phone rang and the caller was her mum.

📲Cindy

📞Mum

📲 How’re you?

📞Fine mum. Are you okay? You sounded gloomy.

📲I’m good. Just wanna tell you something.

📞What mum? Do you need anything?

📲Not at all my daughter. I want you to come and witness the Lord’s doing in your parent’s church tomorrow.

📞Is something happening?

📲Till tomorrow. Take care of yourself and regards to your husband.

📞Alright mum.

She wondered what could be happening in her church… she’s forgotten tomorrow is even Sunday.

“Oh mum…” She said taking her popcorn.

“And now, Samuel has refused to call me. He don’t care anymore…” She said rubbing her tummy.

“It’s evening time, should we go on a walk? Our estate is quite a peaceful one.” She asked her potruding stomach.

” And please, let your father be known…I don’t want you to come to this world and be asking me who your father is? That’s the question I’ve always want to avoid my wh0le life but life is unpredictable…” She said and blinked back the years threatening to fall any second from now.

“Even Emmanuel has forsaken me…now I have no other person in my life than my parents and Ellen. Can I really say you caused all this? But you’re innocent. I will never call you a bad luck even though I don’t know impregnated me… I am always acting strong but deep down, I need to be encouraged.”

” You know what? I will give you the best of life and the best in life. I’ll protect you even if there’s no father to father you… Just come out safely and don’t stress mother during childbirth… ’cause I’m scared of that day.”

” As old as I am…I cannot say a single statement about s€×. Isn’t that a shame? But at least I’m not at loss if Emmanuel decided to serve me divorce paper. Don’t worry baby, mummy’s is trying to survive. Mummy will soon be working on her own ’cause she’s done with her site and as filled it up with every needed tools, equipment and all.”

Cindy was saying all these to herself with her right hand on her tummy… Minutes later, she slept off .
