KAREN P.O.V
“There’s a red spot all over the boy’s face, what happened to him?” I rushed and join Jayden in the car and he is shaking, I care about kid a lot, but not like this.
“Easy, he will be fine,” I said and he nod his head.
“I was just worried, why is his body reacting?” Jayden asked the girl’s sister, she didn’t reply, she was playing with her finger instead.
I guess she knows why doesn’t wanna talk for a reason best know to her.
Justin suddenly parked the car and I look outside, f00lish me, I didn’t know we are already at the hospital.
Jayden rushed down with the boy in his hand, he rushed inside the hospital.
The doctor shake his head immediately he saw the boy and face his older sister.
“Tania, what did I tell you guys?” The doctor asked.
“I am a sorry doctor” the girl replied.
“Will you stop the question and attend to the girl now!” Jayden yelled.
“I am very sorry Mr. I was just surprised to see this boy again” the doctor replied and an intern rushed to collect the boy from Jayden.
“I’ll be right back,” the doctor said and rushed after the intern.
“You guys come here often?” I asked and she nod her head, why’s she avoiding my eyes?. “Sir your phone” Justin said and gave Jayden his phone.
“Who’s calling?” Jayden asked.
“Mr. Thomas” Justin replied.
Jayden collected the phone and walked out. “Mr. Jayden is very caring, he doesn’t like seeing people hurt, most especially little kid like that boy” Justin smile and I nod my head.
“Hope this incident hasn’t spoiled you guys date?” Justin ask.
“Date?” I asked with a smile.
“I am sorry, but this is more like a date,” he said and I nod my head.
“I have a question,” he said and I urged him to go on.
“Did you love my boss?” He asked and I can’t believe my ear right now, I don’t like lying, but I don’t have a choice but to lie to him, did I just say I don’t like lying? Lying is my hobby.
“I don’t love him, I only see him as a friend” I replied and look away immediately.
“Your face is saying otherwise,” he said and I turned to look at him, he gave a smirk plastered on his face.
“Look Mr. Smith is a very good person, just give him a chance, you won’t regret it, I’m very sure you might be thinking about his fiance, she’s not a problem,” Justin said.
“Hmm,” I hmmed. “Yes I know what you’re thinking, Mr. Smith didn’t love her, I have been working with him since he started his career,” He said and I nod my head.
“I don’t wanna rush things,” I said and he nod his head.
“I love you because, some girls will kîll to be his girlfriend, just like Luna, don’t keep him waiting,” he said and stood up immediately.
“Why did you sit down beside her?” Jayden asked with a smile.
“Calm down man, I can’t snatch her from you” Justin replied with a smirk, and my phone rang out loud.
“Oh, Claire,” I said and click on the answer button.
“Hey, why don’t you come to work today?” She asked immediately.
“Just tell me you Missed me” I replied.
“Isn’t it obvious,” she replied. “I am sorry, I have a little attack, and I don’t think we will see till next week, because I am going on a trip with Boss” I replied.
“Oh alright, just pray I don’t dîe before you come back” she replied.
“Dîe?” I asked.
“Yes die of boredom,” she said and I chuckled. “Okay I’ll bring many things from you” I replied.
“Alright my husband is here I’ll talk to you later” she replied and end the call, she really cherished her husband, I feel like getting married tomorrow.
I said and throw my hand up in the air.
“To me?!” Jayden asked with a smile.
“What are you talking about?” I asked with a frown.
“You said you feel like getting married tomorrow” he replied.
Geez did I say that out loud.
Karen, you’re cràzy. “I was only joking” I replied and he moved closer to me and I move back immediately.
He keep moving closer to me till my back hit the wall.
“We can get married tomorrow if you want” he said and remove a strand of hair from my face.
His hand contact made me melt within. “Doctor!” He moved back when he hear Tania’s voice and I breathe out in relief, I almost kiss him.
“Doctor, how’s he?” Jayden asked and walked to the doctor.
“He’s fine” the doctor replied. “What about the red spot on his face?” I asked.
“It is the results of the flour he ate, I told him not to eat anything that has flour, because he’s allergic to it” the doctor replied and his sister burst into tears.
“We don’t have a choice, we feed on the only food we see,” she said and I felt pity for her.
“Where are your parents?” Jayden asked and bend to her level.
“They’re dèad” she replied and I felt pity for them.
“What’s the government doing about this? Why aren’t you guys at the orphanage home?” Jayden asked.
“They said the government is sending maintenance money to us” she replied.
“Is it true, are they truly sending you guys money?” Jayden asked.
“No we didn’t see any money, they cut off our water and gas” she replied and burst into tears.
“Gosh! I need to see who’s in charge of you guys’ warfare, that person is very wîckèd, how can he or she do something like that to kids like you, don’t worry you will be fine” Jayden said.
“Are you sure? Because many people promised to help us, but they all run away” she replied.
“I am very sure, I am even capable of taking care of you guys, but I need to know the person behind your warfare, the person has to suffer for making you suffer,” Jayden said and she nod her head.
“Can I see your face?” She asked.
“Not now, I am a public figure, it will be very dangerous if I remove my mask in a place like this” Jayden replied and she nodded her head with a smile, she’s very understandable.
“Thanks, Oppa, thanks Unnie” she said and I smile at her.
“Can we see him now?” I asked.
“Sure he’s perfectly fine now” The doctor replied.
We walked inside the ward and he was busy staring at the ceiling.
His sister rushed to him and hug him to herself. “I told you I won’t dîè, I am very strong,” he said showing off his hand and I scoffed.
He’s not different from Sky. “I am hungry,” he said with a pout and I smile at him.
“Can you walk now?” I asked and he nod his head.
“Okay, let’s go get something for you guys to eat,” I said and he stood up immediately. “Thanks, Unnie” he said.

Justin opened the car door and we all get down from the car.
“Call old Nana and tell her I have two surprised for her” Jayden said.
“Alright sir, I’ll do just that” he replied.
“Old Nana?” I asked. “She’s my best friend and mother, they will be staying with her for now” he replied, mother? Did he have two mothers? This is this isn’t the time to ask about that, I’ll surely ask later.
“Wow, hope they will be comfortable with her?” I asked.
“Very comfortable, you will meet her one day, that’s when you agree to be mine,” he said with a wink and I scoff.
“Oppa, is she your wife?” The boy asks. “Jackson, why will you ask a question like that?” His sister scolded.
“Yes, she’s my wife” Jayden replied and I look at him and he give me the look to keep quiet.
“You guys look good together” she replied.
“I know, let’s go inside,” Jayden said and take them inside, we ordered food for them and they served them.
“Justin stay with them, we will be right back, give them anything they want,” Jayden said. “Alright sir,” Justin said and Jayden drag me out.
“Why did you like dragging me?” I asked. “Because you’re mine” he replied and I left out a smirk.
I tiptoed and peck him on his lips and his eyeballs almost fell from their socket. “Can you do what you just did again?” He asked with a smile.
