71| Mother's illness

Friday arrived in a twinkling, and Derrick Luis prepared to leave for his company's local branch office at the town centre. He woke up in his bedroom and got dressed in a purple shirt and black suit. As he made his way downstairs, he discovered that the hacker had informed him that Miranda's chat messages were encrypted and couldn't be read.Derrick sighed and picked up his briefcase, ready to leave the house. He noticed that his mother was not in the living room, and a maid greeted him, saying, "Good morning, sir.""Morning, where is my mother? Is she awake?" Derrick asked the maid. She nod her head and replied, "Yes, sir. But Mother is not feeling too well today."Derrick frowned. He had already made arrangements to go to the local town, even though he didn't like it. He was doing it because it was his father's wish, and after visiting the rural areas, it wasn't as bad as he had imagined."That's fine. I will go see her now," Derrick said, heading to his mother's room. She was clear

72| The pretense

It was Saturday morning, and Miranda woke up in her room with a slight headache. Her phone rang from beside her bed on the bedside drawer where she kept it. She reached for her phone and swiftly answered the incoming call."Hello, Babe," she said, her voice sounding sweet and soft as she had just woken up from her deep slumber."How are you doing this morning, babe?" came Larry's calm response. He was at home in his father's house in the local town where his paternal parents reside, and he wanted to introduce Miranda to them. It was a highly anticipated day for him, although he was nervous. Larry knew that Miranda had no family, and he wanted to make his intention to marry her known to his family."I'm fine, just feeling a bit nervous and cold," Miranda said, not wanting to leave the house as it was the weekend, a day she had planned to rest.Larry was a little displeased by Miranda's excuse, as he knew that she was trying to avoid seeing his family. She didn't like visiting his famil

73| Taken to the hospital

Oliver smiled sweetly when he saw his mother go into the bathroom to prepare his bath. He heard Larry's words about him, and while he didn't dislike Uncle Larry, he didn't want him as his father figure.In Oliver's mind, he believed that Uncle Larry was only pretending to like him now, before he married Miranda. He worried that once Larry married Miranda, he would take his mother's love away from him or make his life difficult.Oliver had seen other happy families during his school graduation, and he wanted a complete family too. He wanted to reach out to his father, even if it was just once, and be a part of his life.Oliver sat up on his bed, and Miranda came out of the bathroom to help him out of his pajamas. She didn't even ask if he could bathe himself, knowing that he had claimed to be sick. Miranda had to bathe her son like he was a toddler, and then she carried him out, wrapped him in a white towel, and helped him select his casual home wear.Later, they went to the dining tab

74 | Jealous son

Larry sighed and waited for Miranda and Oliver to come out of the clinic."Why would my mother reject Miranda now? No way. I love Miranda very much and I cannot give her up," Larry said, frowning as he waited for Miranda and Oliver to finish their medical checkup.In the hospital building, at the outpatient clinic, a nurse in a white uniform smiled adorably at Oliver as she checked his height and wrote down a few complaints from Miranda's report.Soon, they went into the doctor's office, and Miranda and Oliver settled into the guest seats while the doctor performed a series of tests on Oliver.Oliver knew he was fine, but he had to endure all the tests. Besides, it was no harm running a quick check-up on him as he didn’t want his mother to marry Uncle Larry."Ma'am, your son's medical test results are out, and he has only malaria and a fever, which I assume is due to the rainy season and bad weather. You should ensure his room is kept clean, and we have a hospital-recommended mosquito

75| A mother's promise

Miranda entered the living room and saw Emily step out of the kitchen to greet her, "Welcome.""Thank you. Where is Oliver?" Miranda asked as she walked to the nearest couch and sat down."He went to his room, Ma," Emily replied. She had heard the sound of the door opening before and had come out of the kitchen to see who it was. She saw Oliver enter the house, but he didn't look happy."Oliver didn't seem happy, Ma. How is his health? I hope it's not something serious?" Emily asked, showing her concern for the little boy she admired."No, it's just malaria. You should have his room treated once you're done preparing lunch. I will go and see him now," Miranda said as she rested on the couch for a while. Later, she rose and proceeded to her son's room to check on him."Oliver!" Miranda called her son's name, wondering what he was doing in his room."Mom," Oliver responded, aware that he had succeeded in ruining his mom's date but hadn't succeeded in preventing her from kissing Uncle La

76| The call

After dinner ended, Miranda gave her son his medicine, then took him to her room to rest. Once inside her bedroom, she got a phone call from Larry."Hello, Babe," Miranda answered Larry's call, just as she was sure that Oliver was sound asleep on the bed."Hi, sweetie. I just called to check up on you," Larry said, his voice sounding sultry."Thank you. I have given Oliver his medicine and he's sleeping now," Miranda said, and she heard Larry hum. "That's fine. So, what are you saying about us, babe? You know that I want us to start living together as husband and wife and not apart."Staring blankly at her television, which wasn't displaying any movie, Miranda replied, "That, I'm aware of. How about we go to see your parents next weekend in the city? I know I don't want to be in the city because of my baby daddy, but Oliver isn't happy with me and wants to meet his father."The phone call went silent for a while, and Larry asked, "Who's Oliver's father? Is he someone I'm aware of? Wha

"Oliver, what has gotten into you? Why would you phone Derrick?!" Miranda scolded her little son, who looked scared and scurried away from her reach."Mom, I just wanted to speak to my dad," the little boy said. Miranda glared at her son and shook her head."I already told you to behave yourself, and now you want to ruin everything for me. I'm not going to take you to your dad again; Uncle Oliver will be your dad!" Miranda declared as she quickly blocked Derrick's phone number to avoid any incoming calls from him.What if she hadn’t woken up? Was that how her son would have contacted Derrick on the phone? Miranda pondered as she saw Oliver's eyes welling up with tears.She would do anything for her son—except take him to Derrick. Earlier, she had considered going to see Lady Loretta, but now she doubted she could visit the Luis residence. She went to serve herself a meal as she was hungry, neglecting to comfort her sad son, who was sitting on the living room couch.When Miranda came o

78| At home

Derrick walked back into the living room, and his sister asked him, "Who was that, Derrick? I saw a pretty lady at the gate when I arrived just now. Why didn't you let her inside?" Nicole inquired with a smile on her face, but Derrick shook his head in response."She's an unexpected guest, and I had already informed her not to visit here again." Nicole frowned, as she had been hoping to hear that the young lady was Derrick's girlfriend, but her brother brushed the topic aside."That's fine, only I thought she was your new girlfriend," Nicole said, even as Lady Loretta sat silently with them, listening to her children's conversation."No, Nicole. Don’t pretend you don’t know that Mom doesn’t want me to marry anyone but Miranda. I must find Miranda and bring her back, and that’s the reason for my singleness now," Derrick said, walking up to the exquisite dining table to take his seat. Nicole smiled at her handsome younger brother and asked him, "So, you're not the one who invited her? Y

79| The search

Erica looked at her mother in disbelief and sighed. She wasn't even supportive of her brother dating Miranda. Wanting to go into her room to rest because Erica was in no mood to discuss Larry, she agreed with her mother, "Fine, Mother. I will talk to Larry about his affair with Miranda, but obviously not today. I'm stressed."Mrs. Harrison looked at her first daughter as Erica walked away, and she didn't bother to ask Erica what the problem was. What was more important to her was for Erica to talk some sense into Larry's mind.Meanwhile, Miranda finished having dinner with her son, and they sat on the couch watching a movie in the living room. While Miranda's son fell asleep, she thought about the possibility of facing Derrick and presenting Oliver to him."How am I going to do this? Larry has also advised me to present Oliver to Derrick. What if Derrick harms my son? Is it better not to tell him about Oliver?" Miranda pondered as she watched her son sleeping. She made sure not to lea

80| His agreement

"No way. Just my assistant alone. I'm not interested in them, as it's a futile relationship and not leading anywhere. How's Mom doing?" Derrick asked as he met his mother's gaze."I'm fine, Derrick. So you will be going to the local town tomorrow. I would have loved to accompany you to see how the town looks," Lady Loretta said, and Derrick smiled."It's a lively environment, Mom. Quite noisier than here. I can't believe the area, but it is what it is," Derrick replied, "Underdeveloped.""Hmm," Lady Loretta agreed, recalling it was her husband's wish. "You should take videos of the area. I would like to see it, even if I cannot go there with you now," Lady Loretta said, and Derrick nodded."I have some photos, Mom, but I will get video recordings of the area for you. The actual property I wanted to buy at first— I saw a mall was built there, along with a bank and more. A market is across from my company." Derrick took out his phone as he explained the area to his mother.Lady Loretta
