Chapter 60Nate’s POVI almost developed a heart attack when I saw another dude caressing my wife's hair, I got so vexed and left angrily, how could she do this to me despite everything I was doing to win her heart?I drove at a high speed and I almost ended up in an accident, I had to pack my car and step out of it taking a walk around even though I had no idea where I drove to. I am a man, I should learn to control my emotions but what if I had approached them, I would have created a scene and remained in regret because I would have ended up beating up that dude.My mind is troubled, damn love, I wish Layla's father was still alive, I could have related everything with him, he knows how much I care for Layla. Wilson's call came in and I rushed to pick up his call, “Hello cousin.”“Where are you? tell me, she loved the flowers right? Tell me your marriage is going to work with both of you having love for each other, that has always been my wish, I mean your wish or is it our wish?” H
Chapter 61Nate’s POV“It’s about your father.”I took a deep breath before asking, “What about father? Are you two having issues?”“No son, you know what I am talking about.”“Mom, if it’s about running the company, I am busy, I don’t have time for that life,” I added.“But he is your father, if something bad happens tomorrow, what will happen to the Daniels Restates and the partners we have along with the other business?”“Mom, I told you already to look for someone suitable at the company and he will take over, I don’t have time for that now.”“Why are you so stubborn? He is still your father, it will not stop you from your other life.”“Mom, I need to go now, I don’t want to talk about Father.” I ended the call at once. I don’t know why my mother is still bothered about my father, I am not ready to work at his company, I love my life as a surgeon and I will continue to save lives.I finished for the day and went home immediately. I didn’t know how to control my anger, I hate to be
Chapter 62Nate’s POVI looked at Layla on my bed and let out a smile. I checked her body temperature again and I was happy it went back to normal. I decided to watch her throughout the night when I dozed off in the process.I felt Layla's hands on my face and how she got closer to me as well because I was holding her when I slept off earlier. I didn’t want to ruin her moment so I pretended to still be asleep and allow her to feel comfortable if that would make her happy.She touched my lips and kissed me, I opened my eyes to confirm if this was real and she tried to avoid me. I didn’t allow her to leave the bed, I got carried away, pinned her to the bed and made the move to kiss her.I suddenly remembered she hadn’t eaten anything and even if she looked better this morning it didn’t mean I should be careless with her health so I stopped immediately, got off the bed and said to her, “I need to get you food so you can take your medication.” I rushed out so I could hurry up because I wo
Chapter 63Nate’s POV I made my point already.I took my seat and thought about a few things then Nurse Stella returned with some lab results saying, “These are the lab results Doc Lydia asked me to bring to you.”“Drop it and leave,” I said.“I am sorry Doc, if I made you angry.” She pleaded. I guess I must have been so tough on her with the way I asked her to take the stuff off my desk.“You don’t have to say sorry, I will go through this but tell me, the patient in special ward two, how is he doing?”“He is getting better sir.”“Good, he needs more rest for about a week or two before we can discharge him but make sure you always check on him and inform the other nurses as well.”“Yes, doc.”“Good, you may leave now,” I said and she took her leave.I glanced through the results and placed a call to my fellow colleague telling her to proceed with the usual steps and that she was free to call me if she needed me at the theatre.A few hours later, I was already tired and I started get
Chapter 64Nate’s POVLayla woke up the following day asking questions and wanting to confirm if I saw her nakedness, this shows that we are living in our own different world and she is just being nice to me just to fulfil the role of a wife and I will continue to do my part too as her husband, it hurts but what I will never do is to give up on the lady I love so much.I got to work very early and we held a general meeting at the hall with all the top surgeons in the hospital then I got informed new intern would be coming In to join us and we should receive them with love and make sure we guide them properly but on no account should they be allowed to operate on a patient, we can’t afford to take the risk.I didn’t bother to check the files of the new intern that will be coming, I have worked with so many and I really don’t like working with them because the ladies like to flirt around just because I am good-looking and famous as well“Doc Nate, are you not going to pick some of the i
Chapter 65Nate’s POVI had no other choice but to keep the marriage a secret from the others so I said to her, “Okay, it’s fine, we keep our marriage a secret, but what about the child? He keeps calling us father and mother. Should we continue to play along?”“Yes we can, that’s the only way we can make her feel better, she lost both parents, I know how she feels.” Thank God she decided to continue.Someone knocked at my door and I knew it was Nurse Ella so I asked the person to come in only to see my wife looking so happy seeing the person.I watched both of them talking then he greeted me, I hated him immediately for doing to my wife what I could not do and he happened to be the same guy I saw the other day at her school caressing her hair.“Yes, how can I be of help?” I questioned him with a straight face and he said he was asked to bring the case file to me, I instructed him to drop it and he decided to leave. I got very jealous seeing my wife about to go with him so I came up
Chapter 66Nate’s POVI woke up feeling so weak and managed to rush home immediately, I had the mirrors replaced and called the doctor to ask about her well-being and I was told she was doing better now and I was relieved. I got a text that I will be having a tight week, too bad work will have to take my time again but is good to know that she is better now so I can focus on work.I got to work and could feel tiredness waiting for me already.A few days later, I was no more myself, I felt so tired and exhausted, The doctor told me Layla had been discharged from the hospital already and I needed to see her.About leaving Nurse Ella stopped me saying, “Doc, are you leaving, remember there is an operation taking place the next hour?”“Yes I know, I will be back before you know it, I just need to see someone.”“Okay, doctor.” I left immediately and drove with speed to the house and when I got home, I saw Layla, she looked really upset with me, I wanted to say something but I just didn’t k
Chapter 67Nate’s POVI arrived at the place and walked in as I ordered just wine, I know Chloe to be a fan of wine as well.“Hey, handsome.” I heard Chloe's voice and she hugged me from behind, “You are here already, thank you for coming.”“Oh you do not need to thank me for it, you are my number one so I have no other choice but to come.” She said taking her seat.“WOW, I love the fact you still know what I like to drink, this shows you haven’t gotten over me yet.” She said and sipped from the wine.“So how are you enjoying your stay in town and the cases you have been working on as well?”“Well, I will say it is boring without you.”“Can you just tell me without using me to make an example all the time?”“You should be glad I am always referring to you, only a few ladies will do that, anyway things have been going well in town and I will be transferred to start working at the General Hospital.”Yes, she is right, even the one person I expect to always refer to me loves to refer to
