HIS DIVORCED WIFE IS HIS NEW BOSS

CHAPTER 11

TRISHA'S POV

“We've examined her, she's okay. All the scan and test came out correct. Let's just keep watch on her for two days,”Dr Caleb said as he stared at Philia worriedly.

I heaved a sigh of relief hearing that. I was worried she might have had internal injury because of the car incident.

“We need to get your wounds treated and bandaged. We don't want it getting infected.” My hands absentmindedly touched the injury on my head.

“Trisha, please let your wounds be treated,”he said in his ever gentle tone. He knew I didn't want to leave Philia all by herself.

As I walked towards the door, I gave one look at my baby who was sleeping peacefully, I gently shut the door.

“What happened?”Dr Caleb asked with concern etched on his face. He gently disinfected my wounds.

“I don't know. We were driving, and suddenly, someone bashed our car at the back. I didn't see his face very well but I knew it was a man and he smiled mischievously at me,”I said as I recounted what had happened.

“Do you think it was intentional? Who could be after my life? I would have lost the will to live yet again if anything had happened to Philia. As I struggled with the wheel, the only thing on my mind was her survival.” Cloud of Tears had covered my eyes as I spoke.

“It's okay. Thank goodness the both of you are safe. The only thing we need to do is to ensure your safety and that of philia. And the old man wouldn't let anything happen to you guys,that I'm sure,”said Dr Caleb in a reassuring voice.

As he said that, I remembered I hadn't called Grandpa Carter to inform him.

“No. Do not call him, I don't want him to worry over what just happened. You know his health condition as you are his personal doctor.”

“I know, but he's supposed to know what happened to you guys. You can't keep it from him,”he said in a firm tone,not liking the fact that I wanted to hide the incident from Grandpa.

“I'm not hiding it, I will definitely tell him but when we've discharged and gone home. If we ask where we are going to be for these two days, I would tell him philia and I went on a little trip.” He nodded at me in agreement.

I sank down as I stared at my baby's peaceful face that was still asleep as I entered the room. Such a warrior. I won't let anything happen to her. I am going to protect her with everything in me.

Who could have wanted me dead? Is it Lola? I don't think so. She's all malicious but I don't think she has a killer instinct in her. First, the anonymous package from an unknown sender and now this incident?

I hadn't opened the package I had received that day because I thought it was some sick joke, I didn't even tell anyone. But I guess I'll have to do that once I get home.

“JO love,Did you miss me?” My eyes went wide with surprise as I stared at the owner of the voice that just called my name. Of course, this person is the only one that calls me by this name.

“I miss you so much,”I said as she wrapped me in a warm embrace. Her soothing embrace that had always brought me peace. Realizing that it was impossible for this person to be here, I quickly broke out if the embrace,

“How is it possible for you to be here, Anna,”I asked,giving her a questioning look.

“I had wanted to surprise Caleb as well as you and philia, so I had booked my flight two days before now, but then, I heard about what happened as soon as I came from Caleb,”she said as the smile on her face morphed into a frown.

“Oh,”I said as I looked down with a heavy heart.

“But not to worry, everything is going to be okay. I'm here now, all the worries and bad days are all going to be over.We are going to catch that mother fucker that did this.” She wrapped me in another warm embrace as I smiled.

Of course, she always knows how to brighten the mood of even the saddest person. I had met Anna the week the doctor had told me I was pregnant with phila. This was the same hospital Grandpa Carter had brought me to when I passed out that night at Philip’s house.

That cold night, I was standing at the rooftop, wailing loudly at the universe that had been so unfair to me. She had thought I wanted to jump and commit suicide, she quickly held my hands and pulled me down. She screamed at me for wanting to end my life and then she pulled me into a hug that has been my safe haven all my stay at the hospital.

From that day, she would always stay with me at the hospital, reading novels to me and telling me about cute men in her work place. Her and her brother, Caleb had then become one of the best things that had ever happened to me. She had left for a job opportunity in Whitney city, while I had left with Philia to New York city while she was still a year old and we hadn't seen each other since then.

Suddenly, the door opens forcefully.

“Why didn't you call me immediately?” I snapped my head to gaze at the old man that had fire all over his face.

“Caleb,”I called within me as I gritted my teeth.

“I didn't want to worry you Grandpa. I was going to call you soon,”I said as he stared at my injury which brought sadness to his face.

As if Philia was waiting for the Old man to wake up, her eyes fluttered open.

“Papa bear, when are we going to go home?”she asked Grandpa Carter who was patting her hair lovingly.

“Soon baby, soon.”

“But not to worry, he is already in police custody.”

“Who?”I asked in confusion, as I didn't know who he was speaking of.

“The man who caused the accident. He's going to pay dearly for it.”

My eyes dilated in shock as I fixed my gaze on him which was staring on the floor absentmindedly.
