***
She's been calling Caleb for how many times now. he said that he will only get something in his car real quick but his not back yet.
Lisa was thinking a lot of things. What if something bad happened to him? what if their enemies were lurking around the hospital, tailing him and what if --- she held her breath. No! she shrugged that negative thought. maybe he went somewhere instead. Yes, maybe. Lisa encourage herself.
After another hour, she received a call from Caleb. Finally!
"Where are you?" She raised her voice.
"Lisa, I'm sorry. I won't be coming back until tonight. I just need to sort something right now." Caleb faintly answered. Lisa can sense something on his tone but she didn't inquire further. Besides, she trust him.
"Okay. as long as you're alright that's fine with me." she assured him then he hung.
Caleb exhaled an amount of air. He doesn't know how to tell Lisa about Sahaya and Elise. Maybe, he'll figure out a way later. For now, he wants to be with Elise and Sahaya.
Once again, he looked at the woman who's sleeping at the moment. although they had clarified all the misunderstandings in the past, Caleb can't cope up with all the truth yet. Guilt and regrets envelope him right now.
Yeah. Why? why didn't he show up before? why now? maybe because when he finally decided to show himself, that was the moment that they vanished in thin air. Yes, he's been searching for them everywhere but to no avail.
"Daddy…" Caleb heard the young lad's tiny voice whispering as soon as she entered the room. then he saw Tommy came in after. She was smiling wide at him.
He knelt to welcome her in his arms then he cuddled her joyfully. He was even tickling her sides so she would giggle nonstop. And sure enough, her ecstatic laugh echoed in the room. Caleb couldn't be happier than anyone else in the world right now since one of his dilemmas before has been answered. Although, he asked someone to search for Elise and Sahaya before but his been anxious of meeting them. how will he possibly introduce himself as Sahaya's father when in fact, he wasn't beside her when she was growing up. He suddenly smiled while looking at his daughter's cheerful face.
So it means that Elise did a great job in rearing Sahaya alone. With that thought, Caleb frowned. How hard it is for Elise to raise her single-handedly? His heart ached then suddenly his gazed landed on Tommy who was fixing Elise's mattress.
"Sahaya? Can you join mommy for a while? I just want to talk to your dad." Tommy gently asked. Sahaya pouted as she crossed her arms then her brow raises.
"Why is everyone wants to talk to my dad? Can't I have my moment with him too?" she talked like a grown up adult. Caleb jerked when he heard Sahaya then he chuckled. indeed, Sahaya is his daughter. Flesh and blood, there's no doubt in that. not only her physical appearance but also her attitude. Caleb was amazed.
"Sahaya, let the grown-ups talk first. Don't worry, we'll have more time later." Caleb placed her on the floor.
"Promise you're not going anywhere?" Sahaya stared at him reluctantly.
"I won't go anywhere, I promise." He smiled.
"Okay." Sahaya kissed him on the cheek before she run towards her mother. Then Tommy and Caleb went outside the hospital.
As soon as they reached one of the benches, Tommy, who was facing his back on Caleb spoke.
"Caleb, I'm sorry about this." then instantly he turn around and hit Caleb on the face. It was a hard punch since Caleb fell on his feet.
"Ah, I didn't know it was this good to punch such an imprudent man!" Tommy yelped. Slowly, Caleb stood up as he wiped the small blood that erupt on his lips. Well, he can take as many as he can. he understands how Tommy is feeling right now. According to Elise, Tommy had been a great help to her when she was raising Sahaya so he is willing to take all his disappointments at the moment.
"Tommy, I'm sorry." Caleb doesn't know how and where to begin then suddenly, he heard him sighed.
"She's been fighting her sickness for years now—for Sahaya's sake. And just before you showed up, she asked me to find your family so she could hand Sahaya to them." he uttered in despair. "Do you know how much she suffered all these years? The thought of you dying five years ago… she shut herself to the world when she thought she lost you. But she never forgets to tell Sahaya about you."
Caleb's heart itches at his revelation.
Meanwhile, Aisha drove back to the hospital but her mind was clouded with the conversation that she had with Silver. She just can' believe what had transpired that moment. how could he disregard Stacy's situation over his selfish goals? Dang! her hands were itching to strangle that selfish old man earlier.
As soon as she got off her car, she was stunned to be surrounded by different media folks. Microphones were overlapping in front of her and questions over questions were being asked. She was caught off guard for a moment but when she finally got back to her senses, she tried to break away from them.
Who are you? how are you related to Miss Stacy Hertiz Williams? What is your relationship with the great CEO Ethan Saphiro Williams? Could it be that you are the real wife? Why did you show up just now? can you give us a quick introduction about you? those were just some of their questions that Aisha heard but refused to answer.
"Excuse me. I need to pass." Her tone was more of an order and not a petition. Her face was firm and she looks like someone whom you shouldn't mess with. Some of the reporters step back but some seems to be shrewd.
"Are you perhaps hiding something Miss?" A brave man among the crowd spoke up. Aisha was stunned but she tried to maintain her composure. She can't possibly show them something they'll be suspicious about. Guess she'll need to be tough right now.
*** In the interim, Caleb and Tommy where busy having their deep conversation as they sat on the benches at the back of the hospital. they didn't even notice Lisa standing at a distance listening to them attentively.
Earlier, Lisa decided to get some fresh air and was told that a beautiful garden was located at the back of the hospital so she went there. to her surprise, she saw a man knocked Caleb on the face. She was about to scamper towards him but she halted. She was stunned to see Caleb apologized to the man who just punched him so she chose to stand by. But after few minutes of listening to their profound dialogue, her heart suddenly sank.
What? Caleb has a wife and a daughter? She gulped as she widened her eyes in dread. So what does it mean? Suddenly she fell on her knees which caught Caleb and Tommy's attention. She was sniffling when Caleb got a full view of her.
"Lisa?!" Caleb exclaimed in fright.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
