CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO.Adele went straight to the doctor's office for a check up when she noticed she was bleeding. At the hospital, tests were carried out on her and she was later told she had a difficult pregnancy and was the cause of her persistent vomiting and nausea that morning. She was told to expect other symptoms like dizziness. Fever or chills, blurry vision and many others. She was also given a long list of does and don'ts which she could hardly recall and all that made her very scared.When she left the doctor's office, she was terrified and devastated. She did not want to tell Jamal about her pregnancy just yet, but it seemed it was really important for him to know. She has a difficult pregnancy and it was important that he knew so that they would both know how to go about it.Once she got settled in the car, her driver took off and she tried Jamal's number, but her call was immediately forwarded to his secretary who immediately told her that Jamal was busy and cut the line

CHAPTER TWENTY~FOURDays passed and Adele still did not tell Jamal about her pregnancy and she was getting worried. Her fevers were getting more frequent and morning sickness was taking a toll on her. She needed to find a way to tell him because he needed to know. All the times she had made up her mind to tell him, a fight had broken out between them which led to her not saying anything in the end.Her mother and sister-in-law kept taunting her whenever they got the opportunity and Danielle made sure to come home everyday looking for Jamal.She was tired, but there was nothing she could do.That afternoon, she was seated in her office, lost in thought when her supervisor walked in with a worried look. She heaved out a heavy sigh because he knew he was there to ask her to do something which was not her job. That was the face he kept every time he wanted her to do something out of her scope.“Adele.” Mr. Frank called and Adele looked up at him with tiredness written all over her face. S

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX.“I have an important meeting to attend at the office, I can’t go with you to the hospital for your check up. Let me know what the doctor says.” Jamal’s words rang in Adele’s mind as she sat in the doctor’s office. The previous night, they had been cool. They took a warm bath together, ate dinner together and Jamal cuddled her in his arms all night. He seemed very happy about the fact that she was pregnant. She had thought that was the beginning of him fixing things like he had promised, but that didn’t seem to be the case. He had quickly dismissed her request to have him accompany her to the hospital that morning.He only knew that she was pregnant, but he had no idea that she had a difficult pregnancy and stood the risk of having a miscarriage if anything should happen to her. She wanted him to hear that part of the story from the doctor, but it seemed she was finally the one to tell him.After the check up, she left the doctor’s office. On her way out of the hos

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT.The moment Jamal and his driver arrived at the hospital, almost every hospital staff came to attend to him. Adele was immediately taken into the emergency ward while he walked helter-shelter around the corridor, tears flowing down his eyes like a waterfall.His hands and t-shirt were completely stained with blood, but that was the least of his problems at that moment. Adele was in a critical condition. Both her life and that of their baby’s was in grave danger.He tried to recall what could have made her fall and then it finally occurred to him what had made her fall. The time he seized his hand from her hold and pushed her away to get out of the room. That’s when she fell to the ground but he didn’t realize because he walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind him, not even sparing her a glance.“Oh my God!” Jamal cried as he slumped to the floor, his heart almost ripping his chest with its powerful beats. The guards standing around were confused, but

CHAPTER THIRTY.The rest of the week went by with Adele not seeing Jamal like she had requested. She stayed in the hospital to be monitored, while Jamal continued with his work. He only came to see her when she was fast asleep so she wouldn't see him and get upset. One day, when he had gone to see her, the doctor called into his office and told him about Adele's situation. He had said that Adele had injured her uterus as a result of the miscarriage and it was almost impossible for her to conceive again. When Jamal got home that night, he didn't sleep. He kept thinking about Adele and how much she would hate him even more when she heard the news herself.He felt guilty for the things he had done to her and he wanted to take responsibility by making things right between them, but he knew Adele also needed time to heal from what she was going through, so he was going to give her time.He told his parents and sister about the miscarriage. His father expressed his sympathy and even visi
