Chapter 180

"I don't want it". He said and look away, but his uncle said.

"Hiding is not an easy thing, you will soon realize that you need it, to live a normal life.

Look at you, you are not practicing what your father died to see you practise, and now you will also not live your life? He must be turning in his grave right now, to think that you are wasting his effort". 

Joseph looked at his uncle with his glasses on, he knew what he was trying to do, but emotional black mail was something that he would not easily fall for.

"I feel bad that he had to go through all that, thinking about me". Joseph said and Anna tapped his shoulder, to console him, he looked at her and kissed her hands, she seem to be the only perfect person in her life at the moment.

"That is what parents do, and you will do same for your children, but you don't even need to stress anymore, all you need do is live your life now and enjoy watching your kids grow the way they should.

It is not easy to run and you cannot run forever.

Look at Anna, she is heavy, soon she will be relieved, but she cannot keep hiding, you are a doctor, you should know better, she would want a better life, and the only way to face your enemies is if you are wealthy.

Money has the loudest of voice".

What his uncle said was right, but he was just worried about the outcome and to think that it was a stolen money.

"I have heard what you said, I will discuss with Anna, then I will get back to you.

"No problem, and another thing, Petranilla wanted to speak to Anna".

Hearing that, her heart skipped a bit, she had not spoken to anyone from that family since she ran away, but she was happy to know that Petranilla was taking good care of her daughter.

"So how am I going to hear from her? She asked and he brought out a new phone, he dialed a number a d when it started ringing, he only waited for the caller to take her call.

"Petranilla saw the call and knew it was Maxwell, but Peter was sleeping beside her, he was already tired and Angel was still in his arms, she silenced the call and carried Angel, taking the phone with her, she walked out if the room.

"Hello" she whispered and gentle dropped Angel on the bed, she went into the bathroom and started the shower, so that she would be able to speak louder.

"Petra, how are you doing? Anna asked, and she waited for her to reply, I am fine, but your daughter is asking of you, she says she wants to see you, I don't know what to do, or what to say to her, I am in the bathroom, the one in her room" she was rushing her statement, she was sounding scared, like she could be seen, but Peter was sleeping already.

Anna, felt pain in her heart, she too wanted to see her Angel, she could not hide forever just like Maxwell have said, she was going to have to face Andrew Anderson anytime soon and then, she would have to fight for her freedom.

"What do you suggest? She asked and Petranilla could not come up with anything.

"What if you at least speak to her over the phone? She suggested and that was agreed upon, she went back into her room and woke her up.

"Angel, Angel!  She called out to her and she woke up with a tired look.

"Here, speak to mummy". She handed her the phone.

"Hello mummy" her voice was loud, and no matter how much Petranilla urges her to be quiet, she refused.

She took her to the bathroom, where she could raise her voice as much as she could, she was soon heard crying.

"Mummy come na". She cries and Anna also could not hold herself. Joseph moved close to her and held her close, it was in moments like this, that he always feels guilty for sleeping with her and destroying a wonderful family.

"I will see you soon okay? She said and soon the call ended.

Petra had to carry her back to her room and told her stories and so many nice things about her mother, before she finally fell asleep, but what she did not know was that Andrew listened to the call, because her phone was bugged.

Anna could not control herself anymore, the moment she ended the call, she cried, but Joseph was there for her so she cried on his shoulders.

She was going into labour in eight weeks, she could not wait for that time, she wanted to see her child before then, because somehow, within her, she could smell problems approaching her.

"I will make it alright, I promise" he said and she looked up at him, she could tell that he had started feeling guilty again. She held his face in her hands and spoke to them

"It is not your fault, so don't try to do anything, I am going to have my babies, then I will face Andrew Anderson.

I cannot continue to run away, he is no monster, Because if he is a monster, then he does not know what monster a mother can be, when it comes to issues with her family.

"I love you". He said and she kissed him before replying.

"I love you"

Their lips locked together, in a passionate kiss.

Maxwell was still there watching them, they were feeding him with dog food, for once, he wish, he was with his wife, she was with another man now, though he still sees her every once in a while.

He knew his job at the house was finished, and since they would not stop kissing, he decided to walk away.

He looked around him, before disappearing into the forest.

That was a short cut for him.
