Second Chance, Too Good to be true Chapter 17
It was a cool, autumn evening, Carson and Nick were sitting at the bar, nursing their drinks and chatting. The bar was dimly lit, with a cozy atmosphere. The bartender was mixing drinks behind the bar, and the low murmur of conversation filled the air. Carson and Nick had been friends for years, and they often met at the bar to talk about their days and unwind. They both needed the break after their long, stressful days.Nick took a sip of his drink and looked at Carson. “How’s work?” He asked.“You want to hear about my day?” Carson said, a slight smile on his face. Nick nodded, intrigued to hear what Carson had to say. “Well, it started out like any other day,” Carson began, "But then this client called me. The client was a man who had been accused of fraud, and he was proving to be quite a handful. I have been working tirelessly to defend him, but the client was making it difficult with his volatile and demanding behavior,” He paused and Nick laughed. Carson gave him a light pu

In Lydia’s room, Carson, Lydia, and Anny stood beside Khloe as she was being treated by Nick. The little girl has slept off. As Lydia watched Khloé, she felt a sense of guilt wash over her. She had left her daughter, trusting that she would be taken care of while she went out to look for a job. But she had been so focused on finding a job that she hadn't realized that something was wrong with Khloé. Now, she felt like the worst mother in the world. She could only hope that Khloé would be okay.“She'll be okay,” Anny said, sensing Lydia's distress.Lydia was restless, her sobs wracking her body. She kept self-blaming herself. If only she listened to Ma'am Anny and go on the job hunt next week, but no, she wanted to go for it immediately. And guess what? It was useless. Anny placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to offer some comfort, “You have to calm down,” she said, her voice soft,“I know you're scared, but you have to stay strong for Khloé. She needs you to be strong.” Lydia t

Carson rushed to Gary's side, his eyes wide with worry. “What happened?” He asked, his voice full of concern. Gary hiccuped, trying to catch his breath. "What’s wrong?” Lydia couldn’t help but ask also.“Well, I overheard Marian yelling at Gary that he should avoid Khloé since she’s sick, so he wouldn’t be infected. I think that’s the reason he’s crying,” Anny said.“Oh no,” Lydia said, her heart sinking, “Marian yelled at Gary? That's horrible! Why would she even do that?” “I know,” Carson said, his expression grim. “But we need to keep in mind that Marian is just trying to do what she thinks is best. She's probably just worried about Khloé’s health, and she doesn't want anyone else to get sick.” Carson said. “I know, but still," Lydia said, her brow furrowed. “She shouldn't have yelled at Gary like that. He's just a kid.” She turned to Gary as she stroke his hair,“And why would Marian say that?” Lydia asked, her voice firm. “You can't catch Khloé’s illness. It's not contagi

Every individual in the house sat at the dining table, having their meal.As they ate, Lydia couldn't stop thinking about Gary and Khloé. She kept picturing Gary’s sad face when Marian yelled at him, and it made her heart ache. “Lydia, I’ve thought about this for long and I’ve finally made a decision,” Carson said and Lydia paused, paying attention to what he had to say.“Well, I want to enroll Khloé in the same school as Gary, isn’t that a great idea?” Carson smiled.“That's a great idea!” Lydia said, her face lighting up. “It would be so good for them to be in the same school. They could have lunch together, and they could play at recess. And it would open Gary up to other friends!” Carson said, his eyes bright. “It would be so good for them both. I think they'd really enjoy it.” A smile spread across Lydia's face, but she didn't say anything. She could only nod. She smiled inwardly, knowing Carson had Khloé’s interest at heart.Marian stared at Lydia in disgust, she felt like

Lydia had rushed into the kitchen, as she didn't want to go into her room. Khloé was there, and if Khloé saw her cry, she would know. She tried to tell herself that she was a strong woman. Someone who can't be easily affected, but isn't true. She isn't a bold woman. She can be easily affected, so she burst into tears.Marian's words kept hitting her badly that she wished Carson had never told her about his plans to take Khloé to Gary's School. Calling her homeless? This was the worst blow she had received since George abandoned her years ago for some silly reason.Anny walked in with the dishes, “Lydia, please don't take Marian's words to heart. She can be annoying sometimes. Just let it go”Lydia sniffed as she raised her hands from her palms, “Ma'am Anny, I don't know… I think… I think I should leave” her words coming out with hiccups as she was trying to calm herself but nothing was working. Her eyes were glassy, tears stained her face and her nose was red. She just kept on shak

Marian had taken Gary to school already when Khloé woke up. “Mom, where's Gary?” She asked the moment she walked out of her room. She met ma'am Anny and Lydia discussing something.“Gary had gone to school. You'll be resuming school next week since you're still under treatment” Lydia replied as she called for Khloé to come to her. She touched her head to feel her temperature, then her neck. “But I'm fine now Mom” Khloé explained. She wanted to go with Gary. She promised the boy she'll go with him. It was supposed to be their first day at school together. “I know. You'll have to be done with your drugs first. Trust me” “But—” “Uncle Carson bought those drugs and it's expensive, Khloé" Khloé gulped before she nodded, “I'll take it. I'll take everything” “Good,” Lydia replied.“Your food's on the dining table” Lydia instructed and Khloé made her way to the dining. “Hello ma'am, there's someone here to see Mr. Carson” the security man came in to inform them “Oh, Mr. Carson has go

“Attorney! You cannot tell me what to say and not to say!” “I am your lawyer. You have to do as I say. Whatever you say, would be used against you in court. You can't just go about saying what comes to your mind, Mr. Marcus,” Carson yelled. “I am innocent!”“And I know that” Carson barked back. This particular client was the same person he had been discussing his issue with Nick. He cannot understand why this man doesn't want to listen.Of course, Marcus is innocent but his words… His anger is getting the best of him and if he doesn't keep his mouth shut, it might just lead him to eighteen months in prison.They both sat down back on their chairs and they breathed hard. They've been having the argument for the longest time now. The man just keeps letting his anger take over.“Trust me, if you don't keep your anger in check, we'll lose the case and it will be all your fault. I have never lost a case, do not let your case be the first I'll be losing” Carson stood up, and arranged the

“Good evening, Carson, you're pretty late,” Lydia said with a smile as she walked up to the man who had just stepped into the house. “Hm,” he replied as he handed over the briefcase to Lydia, who took it immediately. She could smell alcohol but more of a woman on him. She wondered if he had met up with someone.She looked up at him, she knows the smell so well because her husband is an expert in that field. There is no way she wouldn't know that the man had been with a woman.She moved backward, it wasn't her place to discuss such issues with him, so she buried it immediately. “Do you want to have your bathe now before you eat, or would you like to eat first?” She asked. When Carson didn't reply to her, she said, “Actually, everyone has gone to sleep. I was waiting for you, so I could get you something to eat before you sleep. That's the reason I am asking, should I heat the food?” Her eyes stared squarely at Carson. “Okay, I'll like that, thank you” he replied before going to his
