CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVENCALEB'S POV I pushed him off quickly and walked out of the restroom, what the fuck does he think he is trying to do? My blood boiled as I walked out of the hospital, ignoring Miss Jane's cries. As I walked to my car, you bumped into Kelvin on my way, and he held me tightly.“I heard. Are you okay?” he asked, and that was when I broke into tears. No one has asked how I was since he died, everyone was busy thinking about their selves, the inheritance, and I was left to mourn, alone. My Grandmother is the height of all, she doesn't even care about her son, and it's alarming. I thought that Howard wanted to feel my pain, but instead, he just wants to fuck me regardless of what I am going through, that asshole.“He is gone, I didn't even get to say goodbye” I wept, as Kelvin patted my back.“I don't know how you feel, but I am assuring you that I am here for you,” He whispered into my ear.“Thank you, my grandmother, whom I never knew has gone mad, but what
CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX CALEB'S POV I stared at Howard for an answer, but he looked at me confused, like I was overthinking things, and honestly speaking, I was.“ANSWER ME,” I growled, walking towards him.“Your father is her son Caleb, Catherine might be terrible at parenting him but I am certain she loves Mr Miles with all her fucking heart, and the time of his death, Catherine was asleep,” He said, trying to understand why I thought my grandmother was the murderer. I strode to where he stood, till I could feel his breath on my neck.“Okay then, why did you follow me inside the toilet?” I asked, in a whisper, making sure that my breath graced his collar line.“To…comfort you,” He stuttered, taking a few inches away from me. I burst into a round of laughter, allowing him to wonder why I laughed so hard. I laughed, and almost choked in my laughter.“You want to comfort me?” I scoffed, as my laughter subsided.“Yes, and I barely think this is something to laugh about,” He said, c
CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVECALEB'S POV I got to the hospital early, just wanting to see my parents before leaving for school. “Miss Jane,” I yelled, running to meet her, only to find her in tears. What the fuck is happening?“What happened Miss Jane, are you alright?” I asked, giving her a tight hug. Last night, she said my parents were doing okay, so whatever is happening to her is certainly her personal issue. I don't care if I am getting involved in her personal space, so I just hugged her tightly, patting her back. We stayed in that position till the door came to speak with us.“Should we move his body now?” He asked, and I got confused. “Whose body are you talking about?” I asked, turning from Miss Jane to the door, but they all kept quiet, the sadness in their faces spoke a lot. Did Miss Jane’s family get into an accident too? I am kind of confused about everything, I don't even know if Miss Jane has any family.“Caleb, there is something I need to tell you,” Miss Jane s
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOURRALPH'S POV I had a wide smile on my face as I lay on my bed. The kiss Caleb and I shared kept flashing in my memory even though it wasn't our first kiss. Hearing about his parents’ accident has made me very worked up, even when I tried not to see her, my body was willing. “I need to wish him good morning,” I said, searching for my phone. My phone lay innocently beside my lamp stand. I grabbed it. What was I going to type without sounding desperate? I thought hard, I didn't want to scare him away. After much thinking, I decided to type whatever came to my head first. “Hey, how are your parents?” I typed and clicked send immediately. I wasn't expecting his reply anytime soon, so I dropped my phone back on the lampstand and got off my bed. I strode to my kitchen where my Mum was cooking as usual. People might think because of our wealthy status, we would own a cook, but unfortunately, or rather fortunately my mum loved cooking and she is gr
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOCALEB'S POV After the strange encounter in the hospital, I sat at the reception, waiting patiently for Miss Jane, until she finally came.“You need to rest, it's already midnight,” She said, sitting beside me. I had no intention to sleep, my mind was not settled until I was assured that my parents aren't going to die.“I am good Miss Jane, I think the only one who needs rest here is you and Kelvin,” I smiled at her before turning to Kelvin who sat beside me, patting my back gently. Kelvin told his parents he would be coming home late just to be there for me.“You need rest, and I am not saying this because I am tired of being here with you, I mean it,” Kelvin chimed in. Kelvin needed rest, and if I don't leave the hospital he won't, and it would be selfish of me to put him through that.“Your eyes are heavy,” I scoffed, and began to clean his eyes.“That isn't true,” he protested. Miss Jane placed a comforting hand on my lap and her wrinkled eyes stared at
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWOCALEB'S POV I rushed to the hospital where my parents were, my heart raced, and I could barely feel my feet. Getting to the hospital, I saw Ms Jane, who had her face buried in her hands, making me panic.“Ms Jane, how are they doing? How are my mum and dad?” I rushed to her and said, as she took me in a tight hug. I didn't know what else to do, so I cried on her shoulders. My parents aren't caring, but losing them is something I can't bear, they are the only family I know, because they have refused to show me others.“Your mum is getting better, your dad is still in a coma, the doctor said, it affected him badly, because he was the one driving,” She said, patting my hair slowly. I gulped hard, trying to understand the situation. I felt someone pat my shoulder. It was Kelvin. I could feel his presence, and he also drove behind me.“I am here for you,” He said, giving me a comforting tap on the back. I wondered about a life without my father, and it su
