I Want My Love Back

6 months pregnant

“Juliet dear, you don’t have to thank me. Dan, Maria, and we are old friends. We are just like a family.”, Valda said to her with a sweet smile.

“Thank you for your concern for Mum and Dad, Aunt Valda.”, Juliet smiled sweetly.

“Juliet dear, I would advise you to not take harsh steps, like forbidding your daughter from coming home. This incident was totally Dan’s mistake. You can’t punish someone else for it.”, Valda said like an elderly person.

Juliet saw Valda’s face and wanted to say something, but before she could, a sweet girl’s voice interrupted her, “You don't have to worry about it. I have already decided I will not come home anymore.”.

All the people looked at the door and saw a 6 months pregnant girl and a young man who was holding her in his embrace coming inside the ward.

“Bella, why did you come here in this condition?”, Maria panicked when she saw Bella coming. She looked at Juliet and asked her, “Juliet, did you tell Bella about Dan?”.

Juliet felt guilty, she looked down and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry mum. When you called me, I got so worried I did not know what to do and I started crying. And then Bella woke up because of my crying and then we came here.”.

“Nonsense, Juliet, how can you be so careless? You made Bella worried about Dan's condition and even made her come here at this hour in a rush. What if something happened to her.”, Maria scolded Juliet, then she rushed towards Bella. She grabbed her hand and helped her sit down while saying to the young man who had come with Bella, “Roy, you are a sensitive child. At least you should have stopped her from coming.”.

Roy replied helplessly, “Grandma, you know her better than me. If I had not brought her here, she would have come here by herself.”.

“This child”, Maria sighed, then she looked at the male nurse and said, “Will you please come and check her pulse. She has a BP problem.”.

“Yes, Mrs. Miller let me see her.”, the male nurse said with a formal smile, and quickly gave Bella a checkup.

“Everything is fine, but you have to be careful. It’s not nice for a pregnant woman to have stress.”, the male nurse said to Bella.

“I understand thank you.”, Bella replied.

Maria breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the male nurse, but she was still worried about her. She said to Roy, "You should get her checked by the doctor as well.".

Roy smiled at her and said, "Don't worry grandma, I will take her to a doctor for a full check-up before we leave.".

Maria smiled at Roy, then she looked at Lance and said, “OK, let’s stop all this. Your father is fine now. Go and complete the discharge procedure. It’s not good for Bella to be tormented like this in this condition.”.

Although she wants to make Dan suffer by letting him handle Juliet, she did not know that Juliet would tell Bella about Dan’s health and even bring her here. If she had known it she would have agreed with Valda and Pablo and not have called Juliet her.

“But mum, dad is not fine. It wouldn’t be a good idea to get him discharged. Let him stay in the hospital for a few days till he fully recovers.”, Juliet said anxiously.

“But mum, dad is not fine. It wouldn’t be a good idea to get him discharged. Let him stay in the hospital for a few days till he fully recovers.”, Juliet said anxiously.

“Bella’s condition is more serious than you dad. Did you consider her condition when you were telling her about Dan? Your dad does not need a doctor’s help. He needs to use his brain and has to stop us all worrying for him.”, Maria scolded Juliet and Dan.

Dan saw his granddaughter and felt guilty, “Maria, is right. I made you all worried. I am sorry.”.

“Grandpa, it’s ok. I’m glad you are fine, but we have to solve it once and for all. I will not go home now. Roy and I are going back to our home with Winnie right now and we will not come home anymore.”, Maria said calmly.

Dan panicked, “NO, you will not go back. You are coming with us. I will not allow you to leave in this condition. Roy has work to do. He won’t be able to take care of you. And you will also not be able to take care of Winnie. What happened today was all my fault. I am the one who did something foolish. I am sorry.”.

“You said sorry last time too.”, Bella said.

“Last time? Did Dan eat something that had an egg before too?”, Valda was confused.

Maria gave a look at Valda which made it clear that it wasn’t the first time Dan had been hospitalized because of his stupidity.

“No wonder you were so mad.”, Valda said to Maria.

Dan felt guilty, “I’m sorry but I just can’t say no to Winnie.”.

“You can’t say no to Winnie. I know that is why I forbid everyone from giving her any food that has eggs in it. We all turn vegetarian for you. And it won’t be a big deal if Winnie does not eat eggs.”, Bella said calmly.

“Nonsense, it will be a big deal. Winnie is just a child. She needs nutrition to grow. You can’t forbid her from eating eggs. It’s important for her health.”, Dan said with a grumpy face.

“Hmm, looks like you are right. Eggs are very important for her health.", Bella rubbed her chin.

"What are you up to?", Dan felt uneasy.

" Hmm, nothing. It’s final then.", Bella said.

"Final what?", Dan asked.

"It's final that we will not come home then. Roy, let’s go.”, Bella said. And she looked at Roy to ask for his support to stand up.

"You ... you can't do that. How can you abandon your family like this.", Dan became anxious. All this time he was worried to handle Juliet. Never have he ever thought that his granddaughter will give him a more tough time.
