Chapter 199

"your mom and dad went on a business trip" Williams was the one who spoke

"umm yes that's why you have not been able to see them, they will be back pretty soon," Grace said and mouthed thanks to her dad, if not for him she has no idea how she would have been able to answer those children

"I need to go now kids I need to take a bath and rest, I will be back downstairs very soon" she said and made her way to her room

Maria was still restless as hell, she can't seem to do anything since she came back from the hospital, and she can't wait to go to the hospital tomorrow, she wonders if Whitney was working at the hospital, for the brief moment that she saw her, she didn't look rich, the bitch was born to remain poor only God knows what she must have done with all those money that she gave her, she needs to get to the bottom of this.

Williams came out of the bathroom and headed out of the room, "I will be in the study" he said and left

Maria saw that as an opportunity to continue what she was doing before, she went back to the closet and brought out the box, she saw the squeezed picture where she threw it but she didn't pick as her eyes caught something else instead, she saw another picture, she picked it and checked what was inside, it was the picture that she handed over to the kidnapper to go kidnap Whitney back then and it was a successful mission

She had asked for the picture back because she didn't want those bastards ranting her out or she made sure that she killed them all as well, she would not just sit and allow them to blackmail her

She should discard all of these things; nobody should find them here; she would do that at night.

Mrs Whitney quickly finished preparing dinner, it was already past six and she needed to make it to the hospital on time so she could feed Christopher, she doubted if he had eaten anything since morning, maybe it was because he had been so nice to Jane and he takes cares of her grandson, she feels drawn to him in a way and the need to take care of him

She quickly finished doing everything and went to the room to pick out some clothes, she didn't have plans to return home today, she would stay and also take care of Jane

She made her way out of the house and headed for the bus station. She would have preferred that Zain go with her, but she knew that it was impossible; he was still in such a bad mood. Come to think of it, who wouldn't?

Mrs Whitney arrived at the hospital and made her way to the ward where Jane was being attended to, she got in and found Chris by her side, he was cleaning her up she quickly went to his side to take the towel from him

"no Mrs Whitney don't worry about it allow me to do it," he said

"no sir please bring it, I'm used to taking care of my girl," she said and took it from him

"you know when she gave birth, she had a severe haemorrhage, she was in a coma just like this for several months and I had to take care of her and the little one, it was really difficult because the hospital bills kept adding up and I didn't have much money to pay the doctors, I had to do something bad to get the money so she could be fine" Mrs Whitney said as tears began to fall from her eyes

Even though she tried to concentrate on what she was doing and pretended like everything was fine, deep down inside her, she felt like she was dying and suffocating

Chris didn't know what to say or how to console her so he only moved closer to her and hugged her, he knew how she felt, it's hard for you to see someone that you love lying in bed like this, it is hard

Mrs Whitney's memory juggled back to the time that she had handed the baby over to that man who had bought the child from her, she wished that she could see the man again and beg him to give her back the child, she would pay him back the money that he gave her and she would do anything other thing that he asks of her.

Mrs Whitney finally calmed down, she looked at Chris with gratitude

"you are such a nice young man, Sir, your parents did a good job on you" She looked at him and used her thumb to caress his cheek

If only that which had not taken her children away from her, she would have a child exactly his age and who knows he might just look like him

"you should normalise calling me by my name, Jane and I will be getting married and you will soon be my mother-in-law," Chris said firmly

"I would love for that to happen soon enough, I can't wait for my girl to just wake up already" she said as she finished cleaning her up

They both assisted her in putting on her clothes and they were done

"I brought some food and you can't say no cause I'm sure that you have not eaten anything since morning if not since yesterday and I made this food, especially for you," she said and placed the food on the desk

"All alright fine I will eat, I'm famished anyways", he said and sat down he watched as she served him the food

"is your sister coming here today?" she asked cause she prepared the food with her in mind as well

"I'm not so sure about that, but I'm going to be eating a lot cause this looks delicious", he said, and Mrs Whitney giggled.
