One last time - Chapter 321

Gorus frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

Throwing his head back, Johnathan let out a hysterical laugh. “You did a great job dad, you did a great job.”

“Silvia Green was pregnant?” Gorus asked.

“Yes, she was three weeks pregnant but not anymore. She had a miscarriage and all thanks to you.” Johnathan couldn’t contain the happiness that he was feeling.

He had fancied Silvia since the first day she had joined the hospital along with her two other friends. Though the other girls were always ready to flirt and go out with him, Silvia was different. Neither did she try to flirt with him nor gave in to his flirting which is why Johnathan has always admired her.  Apart from the fact that Silvia was beautiful and alluring, Johnathan loved how she always managed to stand out in the crowd.

He had been courting her since a very long time but when he heard about her flash marriage, he felt humiliated and defeated. He felt even more angry when he heard how Silvia had married a man she had known only for a few days. Johnathan had been courting Silvia and giving her hints since a really long time but she never gave him a proper response and ended up marrying a complete stranger.

Initially, Johnathan tried very hard to find out who her husband was so that he could deal with him with ease but no matter how hard he tried, the whereabouts of Silvia’s husband had always been a mystery so he couldn’t make a move but recently when he found out that Kevin Austin was Silvia’s husband, it was a huge blow on his manly ego.

Johnathan was quite sure that there was no love between the couple and Silvia had married Kevin for money but even Johnathan had money and was super rich.

Apart from the fact that his father was the current leader of a top organisation, Johnathan himself was one of the top doctors in the hospital he was working in. So why would Silvua choose Kevin and not him? Wasn’t that unfair? He was one who had courted her for years but Kevin, who never really made a move or tried to court her was sleeping with her.

“You have gone crazy son, she is someone’s wife.” Gorus shouted.

“Well, she was supposed to be my wife and was also supposed to bear my kids. I courted her for years and she married someone else, do you think that is fair?” Johnathan asked.

“Look, I don’t know what is fair or not but I don’t want you to have any kind of connection with Silvia Green. I’ll deal with her in the way I want to and you will not interfere in this. The competition is just 90 days away and we need to kill Silvia Green before that. Is that clear?” Gorus asked.

When Johnathan slowly nodded his head, Gorus sighed and massaged his forehead. He knew his son wouldn’t stop but there was nothing he could do to stop him so Gorus decided to let him be. His main focus and top priority was to find a way to deal with Silvia Green.

…..

Hospital.

When Silvia woke up, Aunt Julie was sitting beside her and Kevin was nowhere to be seen.

“Ah honey, you are awake? Do you want some water?” Aunt Julie asked.

Guilt started surging within her when Silvia saw Aunt Julie’s loving expression. If not for her recklessness, wouldn’t the whole family be celebrating and making preparations for the baby?

Grabbing aunt Julie’s hand, Silvia lowered her head and sobbed, “I am sorry mom.”

Cupping Silvia’s face, aunt Julie vigorously shook her head. “No darling, you don’t have to be sorry. It wasn’t your fault, in fact, it wasn’t anyone’s fault. It was an accident and accidents happen all the time. There is nothing to be sad or feel guilty about.”

“But-”

Cutting her off, Aunt Julie added, “Look honey, I know it’s tough for you and for Kevin as well but this isn’t the end of the world right? You both are still so young and blooming, you can have one whenever you both want to. And don’t forget that you saved a life Silvia and your father and I are so proud of you. We are so glad that Kevin married you.” Wiping her tears away, Aunt Julie continued, “Remember one thing, you are more important to us than anything else and we are glad that you are safe and sound. As for the baby, you can grace us with two grandkids later. Your father and I will be more than happy if you grace us with three or more.”

When Silvia smiled and nodded her head, Aunt Julie said, “Kevin loves you more than anything else in this world Silvia. He has always been a tough and independent man since a very young age. Herpi and I didn’t have to do anything for him because he has always managed everything on his own but for the last few days, my strong son is nowhere to be seen. I have never seen Kevin feel so helpless and vulnerable as long as I can remember. When you didn’t wake up, the world also stopped for him well. We were worried about both of you.”

After taking a deep breath, she continued, “I know it’s more tough for you than Kevin but you also have to understand that Kevin’s world starts with you and also ends with you. If you are sad, he is sad and vice versa. So don’t let something that has already happened affect your mood. Think of it as a nightmare and move on in life. Remember one thing honey that there is a brighter side to everything. Maybe everything that had happened was for good or maybe God has better plans for you both. Be optimistic and move on in life.”

When Silvia smiled and nodded her head, Aunt Julie chuckled. “Your husband almost lost his cool once again when you passed out. I am very sure he is bugging Dr Bailey again and threatening him to wake you.”
