Neither Vince nor I minded the man acting so cold. I was sure he is quite disappointed that we didn't bake rubbish even though it looks like it."It's almost time, stop behaving like a baby and go get dressed" he said bluntly." Get dressed?" I was confused."My appointment is in thirty minutes," he said.I widened my eyes. I had totally forgotten about his appointment with Mike. Today was when we would know what was exactly wrong with him. "Stop feeling concerned when you are not the one dying?" Jason mocked me and he regretted it immediately because Vince talked."Die? Who is dying?" He asked."No one is dying. I am just making fun of your mommy" he replied immediately.Vince frowned, put his small hand in akimbo and the other hand pointed at his father."You always bully mommy. Have you forgotten that she's not only my mommy but also your wife? You told me that females should be treated right and yet you are breaking your own words. I am disappointed daddy" Vince said.Jason looked
Joe's POVBeing Violet's best friend came with a lot of problems. The girl was so foolish and always caring about other people but she did not know how to care about herself for my liking. Although a doctor must be compassionate , there must be a limit to it."Doctor Joe, " a sickly sweet voice called. It belonged to a male nurse, Derek. For some reason, he believed I was gay even though I have told him times without number that I wasn't interested in him."Boy, please, if you could stay away from me, I would greatly appreciate it" " You don't even know what I wanted to say...""What is it? " I made sure my voice was cold to show him that I was in no mood to entertain rubbish. But even this won't work on him, Derek was a pervert. "I have not seen you with that friend of yours, " he frowned as he mentioned the word friend. I knew he meant Violet because I don't have many friends. "Please talk properly, " I told him, "And Violet is a busy woman, she has a lot of kids to attend to, unl
Violet's POV"Where are the maids?" Jason asked me like I was just a common servant. I don't know how the maids issue was my business. I don't even think I know most of them. Each passing moment, I just got more embarrassed. Who was this woman? Why does he act so differently with this woman?Jason even introduced me as Vince's doctor and he didn't even mind if it was going to affect Vince's health. Well it's not as if he lied about me being Vince's doctor but then I don't know why it kinda hurt me. Maybe I wasn't treating only Vince but him also. I know that I needed to leave this place before I could embarrass myself. Then a phone call luckily saved me. I wouldn't have mind kissing the ass of this person that just called. "Excuse me," I said I have never walked so fast in my life. I went to my room and locked the door, falling to my feet. Tears escaped my eyes. This was not the life I wanted. Back there in the room I felt so unwanted. I also noticed that I wasn't the only one disp
After a while, I left Joe's house even though he didn't want me to leave. I don't want Jason to have my head on a platter.Immediately I got down, I received Joe's call."Why are you calling when I just left your house?" I asked, teasingly. " I just want to know if you have arrived," he said." Don't be a nosy one. Derek is asking after....." He hung up the phone before I could finish talking, making me laugh. I knew just the perfect way to get on his nerves right now. Joe always had a way of making me feel better, feeling confident.When I got in, I didn't see anyone at the living room but I heard voices at the dining room and I headed there.I should have just gone into my room silently without any of them noticing. The three of them had already started eating and it hurt my heart to see that they looked like a family, the perfect family of three. Willing myself to hide my tears, I wanted to sneak back to my room but then Vince raised his head and saw me."Mommy! I was waiting for y
"It's dad," he replied, his voice shaking. "His sickness has gotten worse. They need to do surgery right away. They had to move us away from that hospital because it got too serious for them to solve."I felt all the color drain from my face. I knew that Dad had been in poor health for a while, but I had not realized things had gotten this serious, I thought we still had time to look for a plan. I tried to push the panic aside and think clearly."Okay, where is he now? What hospital are they taking him to?""We are at St. Mary's. They are preparing him for surgery as we speak."I could hear Mom's loud crying at the background. I also felt like crying but there was nothing I could do."Okay, I'm on my way. I'll see you there."I hung up the phone and turned to Vince, who had been watching me with concern."Mom, why do you looking so sad?" He asked."My daddy is sick. They are doing surgery on him right now. I have to go to the hospital."I did not know why I was telling him, I knew he u
Jason's PovI came home because I received a phone call, apparently that stupid woman had disappeared and no one knew where she was. Vince had been crying nonstop and he was on the verge of breaking into a fever. He was saying something about someone sick. Because he was crying, I couldn't figure out what he was saying well. Work has been stressful due to the new project we had going on. I could feel the vein in my forehead throbbing as I took painkillers to reduce my pains. "This damn woman, when she comes back, I will definitely kill her this time," I growled.I had gone angrily to my study because I have so many things to do but not after I made Vince stopped crying. I promised him that I was going to look for his mommy. I have been calling the woman and she didn't even pick my calls. This was so tiring. I couldn't even concentrate well on my work because I was worried about her.It wasn't until past midnight that I heard a knock on the door of my study."Come in" I had thought i
Violet's PovI sat in the hospital waiting room, anxiously tapping my foot against the floor. My father had been checked by numerous doctors for hours. Meanwhile, I was waiting for the call from Jason to tell me that the payment for the surgery had been processed. But the call never came. Neither did any alert.My mind raced with worry. How would I pay for my father's surgery? Jason was my last hope, was he going to help me with this? He was so unpredictable. Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought about the possibility of losing my father.Suddenly, I saw a doctor walking towards me. My heart was racing as I stood up to meet him. "Excuse me, doctor," I said, my voice trembling with worry. "Is everything okay with my father?"The doctor gave me a reassuring smile. "Your father has prepared well, his surgery has been assigned for tomorrow " he said. "But there's been a change in his case. Another doctor has taken over.""Surgery? Assigned for tomorrow?" I was shocked by the sudden news,
Jason's Pov"What was that?" I pushed Rachel off me and asked. We were not really doing anything bad. Rachel had come for a visit and we were just chatting when she started freezing up. Afraid, I thought a symptom from her illness had hit her. It was too sudden. Seeing how she was shivering and freezing up, I held her to offer some warmth and comfort.As we sat there, I admit that I could not help but think of all the times we had been in this position before, but with different emotions at play. We had broken up a few months ago, but seeing her like this made me forget all the reasons why we had ended things.Before I knew it, she had shifted again, this time settling on my lap, her head resting against my chest. I could feel her body trembling, and I held her tighter, hoping to offer some relief.A few minutes passed in silence, with the only sound being her soft breathing. I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over me, with her in my arms like this. It was like nothing ha
