My daughter

Jeff went to the doctor's office and asked whether he could see his sister, he was allowed in his sister private room. Jeff looked at his sister who was lying helpless, her head had bandages all over it, a tear fell from his left eye as he saw that his sister needed an oxygen mask to breath, he stood still gazing at his sister "Jackson, you are so much in trouble" Jeff said and left.

Jeff approached the reception, he heard Claire talking to someone over the phone "I'm sorry Em, I need to round off everything before I come home, please just make sure Myles goes to bed, don't worry about me, I will be fine" Claire said before hanging up the call "go home" Jeff said "are you going to be alright?" Claire asked, Jeff didn't reply but he walked close to her and whispered "yes, your son needs you now" Jeff stated, Claire couldn't help but hug him "bye" Claire said and left with Lea.

When Claire arrived home, it was almost midnight, she went to pick her son from Em's place, when Em tried to question her about why she was late, she{Claire} promised to tell her {Em} everything happened when she had the opportunity.

The following day,

Claire woke up the usual time she always did, she prepared Myles for school and sent him to Em's place, she then prepared to go to the hospital.

When she arrived the hospital, she was taken to the private ward were Kate was in, she gently knocked at the door,

McDonald opened the door and she entered, Jeff was sitting on the mini sofa which was beside Kate's bed, he looked messy and tattered, he turned to see Claire standing,

Claire walked towards Kate's bed, she was conscious 'thank you Jesus’ Claire said in her head "Kate, how are you" Claire asked and Kate slowly turned her head to her direction "is that Claire?" Kate asked, her voice was more like a whisper

"yes, it's me, how are you" "fine" "when did she regain consciousness" she directed her question to Jeff "midnight" Jeff replied "I hope …" Claire was cut short when she heard cries from outside "mom" Jeff said inaudibly but McDonald and Claire heard him, he {Jeff} quickly came down from the sofa and went to meet his mother

"My daughter, is she still alive?" Judith asked "mom, come in, she is still here, trust me mom" Jeff spoke as his mother walked inside the room "good morning ma" Claire greeted but she didn't reply, she walked up to Kate's bed and caressed her hand gently "my daughter, Kate I'm sorry for the pains you are passing through now, I wish I can take it away from you" Judith spoke in between tears "mom! It's not your fault that this happened to me" Kate said weakly.

Jeff dragged Claire out of the room and took her outside to the parking lot "Claire, you are meant to be at work" Jeff said as he folded his arms at his chest "so are you, we both are supposed to be at work" Claire fired back, Jeff was shocked by what he heard,

he looked at her and a smile crept on his hardened face "have you forgotten that I'm still your boss and you are still my employee" Jeff stated,

Claire thought about it, he was actually right, she wouldn't have been here if he hadn't had a cordial relationship with her "you know I'm right" Jeff said because she didn't reply

"I know you right, but I came to check on Kate, I will be heading to work right now" Claire said, she turned to leave but stopped midway, looked at Jeff who was looking at her, she then came closer to him and gave him a quick kiss, Jeff was no longer surprised, he knew that Claire was capable of anything.

Claire arrived work few minutes to ten, she walked into her office and sat down, Lea then walked in "how is she?" Lea asked "she is fine, she is now conscious" Claire replied "thanks be to the Lord" Lea said "I need you inform Mr Albert that all head of department and those willing to go are to go to the hospital to visit the boss' sister" Claire said "okay" Lea said and left.

Towards evening, Claire went and gathered informations about the promo and how well it was going, she needed to inform Jeff all that had happened during the promo. Sharply 6:00, all HOD and willing employees went to the hospital, Claire led the way to the private wardroom, she knocked at the door and as usual McDonald opened it

Kate was sitting down on the bed when they arrived, Jeff was sitting on the sofa with his iPhone laptop on his laps,

Judith was sitting on the single chair beside Kate "my goodness, Jeff your employees are here" Judith said, Jeff raised his head up and looked at them, his aura was dominating as he looked like he wasn't happy that they came, some of the employees started whispering among themselves that Jeff wasn't happy that they were here, Claire heard them but didn't say a word she only walked up to Kate "how are you?" Claire asked "fine" Kate replied with a smile on her face "you seem more stronger now" Claire said "yes Claire" "are you Claire?" Judith asked as she remembered the conversation she had with Jeff last weekend "yes ma, good evening ma" Claire greeted "good evening" Judith responded as she looked at Jeff for answers but Jeff looked away, every other employee came and consoled Kate on her brain injury" everyone stayed for some minutes before leaving.

Jeff came down from the sofa "mom I'm coming" Jeff said "you have questions to answer when you are back" Judith said but Jeff was out of earshot, Claire was at the back of everyone, she walked slowly "I knew it was you" Jeff voice echoed behind her, Claire slowly turned and looked at him "you know me so well, don't you?" Claire asked "no one except McDonald has the audacity to do what you did, I didn't need to ask questions, I knew it was you" he said as he raised his left eyebrow "hmmm, well I think you are getting to know me better" she said as she walked slowly towards Jeff, she was so close to Jeff that Jeff thought she was going to kiss him but got disappointed when she said "bye" and turned .to leave.

Jeff walked back to his sister's ward, "is she the Claire you are talking about?" Judith asked the moment Jeff entered the room "yessssss" Jeff said stressing the yes, he got back to the sofa and continued what he was doing.

When Claire got home, she freshened up, ate toasted bread with tea, she then asked Myles to come upstairs, when she wanted to retire to the bed she remembered that she had to send Jeff the information about the promo, she quickly picked up her phone and sent the details of the promo to him.

Jeff was still pressing his laptop when a text message popped up in the screen of his phone, he put the laptop aside and read the message on his phone he texted her back

Jeff: "thanks also for the info, hope to see you tomorrow, what you did today I will make sure I pay you back,

Claire: what did I do?

Jeff: I thought you wanted to kiss me, you raised my demons and left

Claire: I never had plans of kissing you, if you needed it so badly why didn't you do it?

Jeff: I would have devoured you if I had kissed you

Claire: lol

Jeff: it's not funny

Claire: I was about to sleep when I sent you the message, feeling very sleepy night night

Jeff: night night, love you
