Chapter 7 Timing and cunning.

Chapter 7

Avery watched the guards roll out Lucien who was lying on the patient bed looking paler than before. She couldn't help but shake her head in disgust while knowing he was perfectly fine.

“Ma'am, have you taken permission from Mrs Smith?” Butler Lee asked.

“Do your things! I got it under control!” Avery said, even when she got nothing under control.

“1…2 …3…4…!”She was about to call the fifth number while watching the guard who was about to push the patient bed inside the car when a loud bearing voice was heard which made everyone stop what they were doing at that moment except Avery.

“I have been expecting you, mother! Why did you come so late? Had it been you've hesitated a little bit you would have missed us!” Avery said while watching the dramatic steps of Mrs Smith.

“If I could remember vividly, You were running your wide mouth like a tap of water! Why not keep that attitude on, huh?” Mrs Smith asked, stylishly looking around for what her maid told her.

“But here you are calling me mother? Don't make me laugh!” Mrs Smith sneered with her gaze roaming around like a lost puppy.

“Lucien is over there, mother!” Avery said, not bothering to reply to her mockery words towards her.

Mrs Smith's eyes burned in rage when she saw her son ready to be pushed inside the car, she held her chest for a second as she was probably lost for words.

“Have you gone nuts?” 

“What do you think you are doing? And where do you think you're taking my son to? She yelled furiously, unable to believe the sight in front of her.

“Mother, please calm your voice so as not to delay Lucien's recovery and your health,” Avery said with a forced smile on her face.

“Can you get that word off your mouth, bitch! Do not call me your mother again!”

“How can I be a mother to a lady like you!” 

Avery could see the expression on the woman, it was so much different that she couldn't help but think about what she meant by a lady like her.

“Lucien and I need some privacy alone and I decided to go to his penthouse to spend some time alone together!”Avery said.

“Can you even hear yourself? Spend some time alone together? What's stopping the both of you from doing that here?” Mrs Smith asked with an eye roll.

“You all have two seconds to return your master inside his room!”Mrs Smith said in an authoritative tone with a firm expression.

“I dare you all to move an inch!” Avery ordered even when she knew she would be ignored, who's she compared to Mrs. Smith the person who probably hired-feed them?

“ Don't let me repeat my words, Eileen, trust you wouldn't love me afterward!”Mrs Smith said that she was on the end of losing her anger already but had to suppress it.

“Excuse us,” Avery said to the maids that followed Mrs Smith but they didn't move an inch rather they looked into Mrs Smith's eye waiting for the woman's order.

Avery sighed tiredly when she realized what had just happened, she couldn't help but shake her dead.

“I'd like to have a personal word with you, I want them out of my sight!” Avery said as she was about to lose her patience.

“Give us some privacy.” 

Immediately Mrs Smith said so the maids instantly bowed and moved up to twelve steps far away from them.

“Don't you want a grandchild anymore?” She asked with a slight confidence trying so hard to hide the fact that she was intimidated by the woman.

“And how will you get me a grandchild when My son is still in a coma? Don't try to play fool with me, Eileen!” Mrs Smith said, turning around to leave.

“If you can give me a month, I'll make sure, Lucien gets up from that bed and by that time I'm going to have his child in my belly, mother!” Avery said more like a whisper.

“Deal or not, mother!”

After a long dramatic thought, Mrs Smith couldn't help but be tempted by Eileen's suggestions as she knew if it worked out the way he had hoped then it would surely benefit both ends.

“You've just a month! I'll send down the best doctors down there!” Mrs Smith said.

Avery was a little bit taken aback, she wasn't expecting the woman to change her mind faster but guess anything that would benefit her ends she would always partake.

“Carefully, help him inside the car!” Avery announced and instantly made the guards look towards Mrs Smith and when she didn't utter a word they took it as an opportunity to get their master into the car.

Mrs Smith watches the car ready to drive out of the compound even though she isn't entirely happy with her son being taken away, she wants to kill two birds with a stone.

“Ma'am, you shouldn't have allowed her to take the first master away!”

“I don't trust that wizard, what if she has another plan for the first master!” 

The maids mumbled among themselves but Mrs Smith could only watch the car till it was finally out of sight.

“Get all the doctors and maids and send them down there!” Mrs Smith said before walking back to the mansion.

The moment she got back inside, she began moving to and fro with thousands of weird thoughts going in and out of her head.

“What if she's planning on killing my son?”

“Damn it, I don't think she would ever plan on doing something like that with the amount of greediness on her face and words!”Mrs Smith thought.

Mrs Smith couldn't help but think how Eileen and her family were doing “Pick me for your son!” 

“She's a smart one and wouldn't want to ruin her future!” Mrs Smith thought after trying so hard to find out why Eileen would suddenly want to spend some time alone with Lucien in the penthouse.

Something seemed suspicious but she couldn't figure it out.
