Chapter 24
Aliyah's Pov:
Dora and I glanced at Mr Leo in confusion as he shook his head.
"Actually uhmm...I heard your daughter is sick" He stammered as I arched my eye brows.
"You heard my daughter was sick? From whom? I mean no one knows baby Arya is sick except Dora" I sneered.
"And I can't remember informing anyone else about baby Arya being in the hospital" Dora added.
"Then how did you...." I wanted to speak but he cut me off.
"First I went to your house but I didn't see you so...." He explained but then my cell phone rang.
So I picked it up as we walked straight to his car and he drove off.
We forgot about everything that happened.
** MONTHS LATER**
I resumed work at the flower shop.
Mr Leo and I became so close and very good friends.
With the help of Mr Leo,,, baby Arya who was almost six months old was enrolled into a day care.
Honestly Mr Leo is really a nice man.
I picked up baby Arya while coming back from the shop.
Mr Leo became my backbone in everything.
But there is only one thing about him that I don't know.
Which is why he always buys flowers weekly from the flower shop.
"Aliyah? Don't you think you need a bigger apartment?" Mr Leo asked.
"A bigger apartment you say?" I scoffed.
"Yes.... Somewhere bigger than this place" He repeated as I shook my head.
"That will cost a whole lot of money Leo... Besides it's only me and baby Arya" I said as I fed baby Arya with the feeding bottle of milk.
"But you need to raise a child in a more condusive environment" He advised.
"I know Leo but I can't afford it so I won't force myself to" I concluded.
"If you say so" He shrugged.
I laid baby Arya on the bed cos she already fell asleep.
Arthur's Pov:
I carried her out of the car as I rushed straight into the hospital.
The stretcher was provided immediately and I placed her on the stretcher.
Actually it's Natasha....
I think she is in labour.
I followed the nurses and was about to walk into the delivery room but they stopped me.
They restricted me from entering.
So I had to stay out of the room pacing around in anxiety.
My heart was racing and beating so fast.
And I was saying my prayers within myself..
I just hope nothing bad happens to her and the baby..
Few minutes later....
My parents rushed in with her Mom.
They were looking so worried and that increased my anxiety.
We all had to stay out waiting for any nurse or doctor to tell us the current situation.
Mr Gregory's Pov:
I looked out of the window in sadness.
Ever since I sent my only child Aliyah out of the house and disowned her, my house turned into a cemetery instead of a house.
I turned to look at my wife who was sitting on her wheelchair and staring dumb at me.
For months now she have been in this condition.
She can't even walk anymore because she can't stand as well.
She doesn't even blink... I guess.
Just that once in a while tears usually run down her eyes.
There was no joy in the house.
I might be successful as a politician but there is no joy in my home.
My beautiful chatty wife turned into a dumb and deaf woman.... She's crippled too.
She can't feed herself.
She does not eat the normal food you know.
All she takes is cereal food for babies.
What is life when there is no form of happiness?
I deeply regret disowning my daughter.
I wish she could come back to us but it's too late because she's dead.
Aliyah's Pov:
I was taking record of the orders in the shop..... It was almost closing time so Dora helped me with the stuff.
Some minutes later,,, Dora went out to go speak to someone.
I was still busy when Dora rushed in panting heavily.
"What happened Dora? You look terrified" I asked anxiously dropping the record book.
"It's.... It's....." She was panting heavily that she could barely speak and I was getting really scared.
"It's what?" I asked in anxiety.
"It's Sir Leo.... Sir Leo" She wailed as I gasped.
*What happened* I freaked out.......
TBC.......
What happened to Mr Leo?
