Rosa perceived that Lanre was also sobbing. She glanced at him and saw his tears. She doesn't know who to console at the moment.
Theresa's sobbing was loud but Lanre's was quiet, but he was also sobbing. Should she leave Theresa and go to Lanre or just remain with the sister and leave the brother alone?
"It's ok Lanre. Am sure your mum is happy and her soul watching you right now will not be happy that you visited her for the first time and cannot support your sister" Rosa consoled.
She was talking to Lanre but was holding Theresa. That's her final decision. She would hold the sister but keep consoling the brother as well.
Seeing Lanre wasn't saying anything again, Theresa Mo continued. "Just yesterd
Lanre suddenly became quiet. Rosa asked him what he wanted to tell him. He felt he shouldn't have told her he wanted to tell her something.Rosa glanced at him again and squinted. She thought he said he wanted to tell her something a few days ago and in the early hours of that day, he paused while romancing her and said he wanted to tell her something.Why the sudden silence? She pouted her lips and said nothing again. Did he cheat or does it have to do with her past life?"Will you be available for lunch?" Lanre asked, concentrating on the steering. He would tell her then. He would gather up his courage and confess to her."I hope to," Rosa answered, unsure of how busy she was going to be at work. "If we
They lifted her into the wheelchair and the only person Rita could think of calling was Theresa. While she was being wheeled into the hospital, she dialled Theresa Mo's cell phone number.Quickly the phone was answered. Before Theresa Mo could say hello, she heard Rita's moan of pain "I am dying Theresa!" She said before one of the nurses took the phone away from her.Theresa jumped up on her chair. "Rita, Rita, what's wrong with you? What do you mean you are dying?.." but she received no response as the call hung up.She became scared. Something has happened to Rita. She took her phone and dashed quickly into Junxie's office but he was at a conference meeting and he was the one talking at the time.
Theresa was still there when Carol Li walked into the hospital. She was directed to the waiting room where she found Theresa.Theresa's eyes were puffy and red. "Theresa, my child," Carol Li called out. She saw how pathetic she looked. She sat with her knees joined together and her hand on her chin at a corner.When Carol Li saw her, she felt her eyes teary. This girl is ideal for her son Junxie. She's an embodiment of what anyone would want in a daughter in-law.Theresa Mo raised her head to look in the direction of the door where Carol Li's voice came from.She saw her, stood up and went to her "mum!!" She went and hugged Carol Li and started sobbing on her shoulders.
Julia felt his hands shivered. Carol Li sobbed more. It is definitely not easy for someone to take one's child this way. This is supposed to be his first child."Junxie Li, please take it on his behalf" Carol Li implored. Junxie Li took the bodybag and asked if Rita was aware that her baby was gone.The doctor said she passed out before they could get to tell her. She hasn't recovered from her unconsciousness yet.Junxie Li nodded and watched as Rita was wheeled out of the theatre. She looked pale and her lips were almost going paper white.She laid on the stretcher like someone sleeping. It's obvious that she hadn't woken up from her unconscious state.T
Rosa didn't say anything. She was quiet. Lanre was right. If he hadn't told her,she wouldn't have known what he did behind her back. But telling her shows how much he loved and wants to be transparent towards her.Now she had made him feel hurt again. From the way he talked, she knew he wasn't happy with her behavior.Lanre had started the car but he didn't talk to her, nor glance at her as he's always done. He just stayed focused on the steering and looked straight ahead of him.When he arrived at her work place, he parked and let her come down. If it was the happy Lanre, he would draw closer to her and kiss her before she left,but that day, he waited for her to step out of the car."Will you come and pick me a
"I'm glad you made it alive. Your life is more important to me than the baby. Everything is going to be fine.." Julia said and became stuck.He couldn't say anything further. They were not married and he doesn't want his family to know about it, especially his elder brother.But he never cared for her during the pregnancy. He never asked her if she visited the hospital or took her there himself.It appears he wasn't interested in the baby. But that is not the truth. He may not have been bothered about her, but he was readily expecting the baby.And when he went to crenate it, he discovered the baby would have been a girl. She definitely would have been the little princess amidst two cousin brothers.
"What about Julia, are you going to leave him alone to grieve?" Monica asked. They both have lost the baby and he definitely must be grieving as well.Rita kept sobbing and shook her head. She doesn't want to stay with Julia. Alfred saw through and knew that she was no longer interested in covering up for her damn husband." If she wants to go home with us, mum, let her be" Alfred supported his sister. She should come with them. He would not agree for her to get back to Julia, not after what he just discovered."A woman can't just leave her husband like that. If Julia agrees, she can come with us" Monica corrected.Alfred became angry " Julia was there and she had depression. Mum, did you even know that's
Rita didn't reply to them both but just gave a nod and everyone was speechless. They were divorced a long time ago and no one knew about it?" Bullshit" Alfred bellowed. He slammed his fist against the wall and his knuckles bleed. He glared at Rita with an angry stare."And you agree with him and stay in his house? What kind of love makes a woman so stupid? You are nothing to him and you remain with him Rita?I thought you were smart and wise. You have always been the best student in college and in your department in the University. When did you become stupid?How can you allow him play you like a football and you remained with him enduring pain and his torture.&nbs
