Chapter 121: This is the time she needs me the most.

When he started the car she also started hers.

Calcel drove and stopped before the pub that was just not a far distance away from the hospital. He went inside and went to sit down before the Counter.

" Strong Whiskey.." He made his order and the waiter gave him the full bottle with a glass.

Calcel poured himself a quarter of it and was about to drink it down when he saw May come and sat down and also made an order.

" What are you doing here ? " He asked as he put back the glass on the counter.

" To drink with you. " May said.

" It's not good for you to drink at this time. It's night already. " He said.

" It's not good for you too to drink at this time. "

" May, Today I have lost my baby..what else did you expect me do ? " He asked amd finally gulped down the one glass as he poured more inside.

" Calcel...I know it's too sad that your unborn child is gone. But drinking won't change anything. " Said May.

" You will not understand ! " He said and took another sip.

" Just the way you don't understand how much I love you. " She murmured and took a gulp.

" May....don't say that I don't understand. I really know that you love and care about me . But everyday I also always ask myself why my heart still yarns for Alyssa. " Calcel spoke these and tears came from his eyes.

" Calcel...you don't have to worry about Alyssa anymore.The only thing that has been tying her around was the baby. Now that the baby is no more, She will problem move on. You should also move.

" No May ..You are lying. The reason why she accepted to stay was because she also loves me. And...she will not move on just because the child is gone. This is the time she needs me the most." Calcel said and got up. He got money from his wallet and paid the attendant.

May looked up at him perplexed.

" I am actually wasting time here. Alyssa needs me by her side. May..I am really sorry. Let's process pur divorce papers tomorrow as soon as father returns. " Calcel spoke and walked away.

May couldn't believe this. She thought that maybe since Alyssa had lost the child Calcel would not care about her anymore. But now he proved to her that Alyssa was the only and the only woman that Calcel wanted no matter what.

' Plan A has failed. Now I am going to plan B. And my mother shouldn't know about this ! " May said in her as she held the glass strong as if sje wanted to break it into pieces.

Calcel arrived back to the hospital and inquired if Alyssa had been transferred to the recovery room.

After getting the directions, He went to the room and on opening he found Gladys who had slept on the coach. It was just 9pm but she muat have been tired from waiting and crying.

He went and sat on the arm chair before Alyssa's bed and looked down at her bandaged face.

' Alyssa, I know you are passing through a hard time right now. But I am going to be by your side until you get well. I promise you. '

He said to her in his head and stayed like that until sleep caught him.

The following morning, May was in her bed at the Mansion when she heard noise from the living room. She got up and slopped down to find David. He was finally back from Africa.

" Father..." She called and when David saw her he opened his arms for a hug.

May went and hugged and after the hug he clutched on her shoulders.

" My daughter in.law, How have you been ? Why have you grown so tinny ? " David asked.

" Father it's just nothing. I missed you.." Said May.

" Jenny told me you dismissed her. And I need that explanation ! " David asked.

" Father , Can we sit down first. I will tell you everything.." May requested and they both sat.

" Father, When you had just left, I found out many things tnat forced me to semd Jenny away.." May started.

David became curious on seeing her face turn red amd saud to the maids who were standing around. " Excuse us ! "

They obeyed and disperssed immediately.

" What did you find out? " David asked.

" The first thing I found put was that Alyssa didn't go to the States as we all thought."

" What are you talking about ? "

" Listen Father. Alyssa is in the country and she has been meeting with Calcel. " May declared.

" Are you serious about what you are talking about ? " David asked.

" Yes. I saw them with my two eyes.." May begun crying. " I couldn't believe what was happening when I saw them but with time I proved that they were having an affair. " May cried out.

David already knew there was a relationship between the two so this didn't surprise him that much.

" When I found out , I came back here and I was very angry. That day I quarreled with Jenny over the issue and then I realized that she knew that my husband was cheating but didn't tell me. So...I fired her away in that pain. Father, You will forgivs for what I did. " May concluded.

" May, I understand and I want to say sorry. " David too said.

" Sorry for what Father, I am the one in wrong. " Said May.

" No May. I was wrong to hide this from you. " David said making May anxious.

" I am the one who told Jenny to keep the secret from you so you will forgive me. " David declared.

" So....you knew Calcel was cheating ? " May asked becoming more angry that David also fooled her.

" As soon as I found out, I told Jenny so we decided to send Alyssa away to the States. But I can't believe that she fooled us and stayed behind to see Calcel."
