Curious

Eric's POV 

''Shit.'' I murmured and ended the call, 

I threw the phone on the bed and walked around the room as I thought of what to do with Sophie.

Sophie was a smart woman, she knew I will send men to her, so she decided to stay away from that child, so I won't know his location and take him away from her.

I groaned in anger and thought of what to do next but nothing meaningful came to my head

I lay on the bed with my back and prayed a silent prayer hoping the baby wasn't mine but deep down I knew I was wrong.

The ringing of my phone got my attention, I went for it and noticed it was dad calling.

''Hello.'' I spoke tiredly and sat on the bed

''I called to check on you and how things was going with Victoria

I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair

''She is fine.'' I murmured 

''What's wrong, your wolf seems worried.'' he asked like he was so sure of the answer

''I'm fine, dad.'' I bluntly replied

''No you are not.'' he said those words like he was so sure of it.

''Tell me what's wrong.'' he sounded almost like a plead 

I groaned but did not say a word, I can't tell dad that I might be a father to a child who I don't know even exist.

''I'll call you later.'' I did not wait for dad to say a word before I quickly ended the call.

I took out my computer, put it on and started working on some documents, so I could distract myself.

I worked for hours until I noticed it was already pass 7pm, and I have to see Victoria before she goes to bed.

I stood up from the bed, put on my clothes and left the hospital

I got to the hospital, went to Victoria's room and slightly opened the door before walking in.

I got in and noticed no one was in the room not even nurse Agnes

I sat on the chair and waited for a while before Victoria and nurse Agnes walked in.

''Good day sir how long have you been here.'' nurse Agnes asked

''Not for Long.'' I replied with my gaze on Victoria who just walked up to the bed and tiredly sat on it, 

''Where are you guys coming from.'' I asked when I noticed how tired and weak Victoria was looking.

''We went for exercise, the doctor said she should go for a run.''

''You guys almost killed me.'' Victoria murmured angrily and lay on the bed with her back.

I chuckled at her behavior and watched her grumbled like a spoiled kid on the bed.

''I'll leave now, see you tomorrow Vicky.''

''Goodbye.'' Victoria murmured tiredly and closed her eyes, but I knew she wasn't sleeping.

''When am I leaving this place.'' she murmured with here eyes still closed

''Two days from now.''

''Really?'' she opened her eyes and flashed me a big smile that flutters my heart

''Yeah.'' I replied.

''This is good news.'' she exclaims happily and sat on the bed, 

''I can't wait to see aunt.'' she giggled happily while smiling at me.

My heart clenched in pain seeing her smile this way when I knew the pains she would go through when she realizes her aunt can't talk or move for the time been.

''I can't wait to go back home.''she muttered out happily and stood up from the bed while she walked around the room happily.

She turned and stood before me with her curious eyes on me 

''Did you tell aunt that I'm at the hospital.'' she asked

''I thought it would be better not to say anything to her.'' I spoke quickly while avoiding her gaze

She nodded her head and sat on the couch opposite me without saying a word, but I knew she wanted to say something, but she was nervous about it.

''Come.'' I opened my arms to her, inviting her to sit beside me, 

She stared at my opened arms before staring at me with wild eyes, but she didn't move an inch.

''Come here.'' I spoke calmly and met eyes with her,

She gulped nervously and stood up the chair and sat beside me while she placed her head on my chest.

She released a sigh of relief and closed her eyes, but I knew she was awake.

I placed my fingers on her hair and gently strokes it with care.

''What do you want to say.'' 

''Nothing.'' she whispered almost to herself 

''I know you want to say something, what is it.'' I asked again

She murmured softly and raised her head, so she could meet eyes with me.

''I was wondering what you did that made me leave everything behind and ran away from you.'' she said those words while locking eyes with me without a blink.

I took in a deep breath and looked away since I could no longer hold her gaze.

''You did not run any from me, you just needed some space away from me.'' 

''Why would I need some space from my boyfriend.'' she asked confused 

I stared at her but didn't know what to say, I can't start telling her everything at least not now.

''Eric.'' she called out my name slowly and gently that made all the organs in me jumping to life

''What happened.'' she asked almost like a plead

I shook my head and cupped her cheek with my two hands while staring into her eyes.

''I will tell you everything when the time is right but not now.'' I flashed her a weak smile before placing kisses on her forehead.

I moved my gaze to her and smiled at her before placing a quick kiss on her lips.

''Stop thinking about that and focus on how to leave here, okay?'' 

She stared at me for a while, contemplating whether she should agree to my words or not, before she flashed me a big smile and nodded her head to my word.
