PROLOGUE
"In behalf of all our crew, thank you for choosing our company as your airline today. Have a great day."
I smiled at the passengers as they exited the plane I just stood on the side and thanked each of them out, there were others struggling with the luggage they were carrying so I approached to help them.
"You don't have a flight tomorrow?" Helen asked, one of the crew.
"Yeah, you know." I smiled at him and said goodbye.
The trip is tiring, especially when there are passengers who criticize what is going on when no one is watching over them.
I looked at the time on my cellphone and wondered if there was no call for Veronah because she is my child's guardian now.
"Lara, let's go, the service is already there." Julia called as I removed the scarf around my neck because it was so hot. I just nodded at her and followed.
We took the service back to the airline headquarters.After getting off, I waved at them and walked to the parking lot. I changed my sandals so that I wouldn't have trouble driving, especially when I'm wearing heels.
It's still early so I first thought of going to the grocery store because I know we don't have stock of my child anymore. I was a graduate when I found out. So my friends were furious when they found out that my daughter did not have a father. I don’t know where my daughter’s father was because I left him.
Wonder how he is right now.I haven't heard any news about him, if he's married how is he doing these day.I don't want to ruin his dream because of me because I know he has wanted that for a long time.Knowing that I left him for sure I don't think he's mad at me because he didn't chase or stop me before. And every time I think about what happened then my chest tightens for no apparent reason.
I went to the grocery store and started shopping. I hadn't put the cereal in the basket yet when my cellphone rang. I saw my friend's name so I smiled because I knew it was Estella. I answered the call with a smile but it also disappeared. I hear what she said.
"L-lara, I'm really soryy. Estella fell down the stairs. We're here at the hospital now." I wasted no time I almost ran out of the mall I collided with someone else but my only focus was my child.
When I arrived at the parking lot, my cellphone rang and Veronah texted to the hospital where they were at UERM Memorial Hospital. I was in the middle of driving when a child crossed so I suddenly braked even though I had a seatbelt, my forehead was straight on the steering wheel.
The force of my head returning to the headrest of my seat was strong so my head ached even more. My cellphone fell to the bottom and I heard the horns of some cars behind me but my eyes seemed to rotate when I opened my eyes.
"Shit." I grabbed my head in extreme pain. I was breathing fast as I watched my hand tremble and bleed. When I remembered my daugther I quickly started the car.
When I arrived at UERM Memorial Hospital, I didn't park my car much because of the ease. I went straight to the lobbyist and asked and they told me where my daughter was because Veronah had just brought it here and knew me as a friend. The others were looking at me because I was still in uniform. I just ignored them and went straight to the elevator
When I watched my reflection on the elevator door it became clear to me what I looked like.
When the door opened, I ran to the room where my daughter was supposed to be. I saw Veronah walking restlessly.
"Verona." I called and quickly approached her.
"Oh my God, Lara, I'm really really sorry." She said while crying. I shook my head and said that she was innocent but that she kept apologizing.
While waiting for the doctor who was taking care of my daughter, Veronah told me everything.
"I just answered my manager's call, I knew she was just playing, so I left for a while. I looked around. Myghad, she was already lying on the stairs with blood on her forehead. " She told her story while shaking, she was wearing a mask and shades because people would recognize her.
After a while, she said goodbye that she had to leave, she didn't want to because I wasn't with her but she still had a shoot so she called Celestine to go to the site so she could be tolerated.
I was in the middle of crying when the door of the Emergency Room opened so I quickly stood up and to ask but I was surprised and I almost froze in my position to see who came out of the door.
It was as if my chest tightened and I suddenly couldn't breathe. My mouth dropped open as I watched his face.
Wearing his white lab coat and gray slacks he looks so different now. His face hasn't changed but his body has become more beautiful than before.
I was just as shocked as he was and I saw the surprise in his eyes I was even more nervous because I knew he saw my daughter, our daughter. Why is he here I thought he was in Australia why is he here now?
"Are you the guardian?" He asked coldly and I nodded quickly.
"She's my daughter" I said so he was stunned by what I said I also saw him swallow before nodding.
"You need to sign some papers assisted by our nurses here" He said while looking at the papers he was holding.
"Thank you Cali- I mean Doc." I said he ignored me and frowned noticing that my forehead was bleeding. When he looked back at me my chest suddenly tightened. I still have the strange feeling I used to have every time I was with him, my heartbeat still speeds up every time he looks at me. I can still feel the effect he has on me. The pain, I can feel the pain.
"Come with me." He said and walked over to get past me.
He's here...
He's here. The father of my child...
