Chapter 13
“What is wrong with me doctor, Smith?” she asked, and sighed deeply. She had experienced severed pain in the pelvis accompanied with fatigue and weight loss. She decided to take a break from work only to discover that the pain is becoming more severe.
When she traveled to Spain the previous week, she couldn’t bear the pain any longer. Without waiting to sign the contract, she handed everything over to her assistant and took a private jet back to St St Petersburg.
” From the examination carried out, it was discovered that you are Suffering from cervical cancer,” doctor Ivan disclosed to her.
“And the best treatment is complete evacuation of the uterus” doctor Ivan concluded.
When Mia Rowan heard the doctor’s words, her heartbeat skipped. Complete evacuation?.
As the chauffeur drove her home she was filled with different thoughts. Her husband had died a year ago. And until his death, he yawned for a child of his own. They had thought of adopting a child.
But after some series of examinations that were carried out, it was discovered that Nicolas couldn’t make a baby. They then decided to adopt Ralia before Nicholas died.
But even at that, Mia Rowan had not stopped thinking about her daughter. She should be twenty two now. She must have grown into a beautiful woman.
She remembered then how Caden had given her money to abort the pregnancy with the excuse that they both were still young and unprepared to raise a child.
She had travelled to Florence City at that time for a research when she met Caden. On the day she was to go for the abortion, she discovered that he had been secretly having an affair with Tola her research mate.
She left without anyone knowing where she had been, and returned after giving birth. She took her finals and returned to St Petersburg. Caden and Tola later got married, she heard.
She was going to find her daughter. She left her at the entrance of an orphanage. Her uterus was going to be evacuated. But she has a fruit, the fruit of her womb and she’s going to bring her back to be with her till death.
When Santiago came back that evening, Eve Diego had gone to her parents house. Santiago had come earlier than his usual time of arriving home. After shower, Santiago asked Aurora why she hit Eve Diego that much and that left her sick. She had to go to the hospital for analgesics.
Aurora looked away from him, and pouted her lips. He was scolding her because of that spoiled girl. If she had lost a tooth when she fell down perhaps he would believe her if she told him it was her who started bullying her first.
But this Eve Diego is a vicious girl. After making her fall, she went to meet Santiago to complain. She must be extremely careful of her in the future.
When Santiago saw that Aurora was angry, he became confused, maybe he shouldn’t have scolded her in the first place. Trying to ease the tension in the air, he went to her and tickled her by the neck, Aurora shifted away to avoid him.
But when he tickled her by the armpit, Aurora smiled and started throwing pillows at him. He dodged the throws and grabbed her by the waist. He pulled her to himself and kissed her fiercely. He kissed her as a means of apology.
The next morning, when Aurora woke up, and showered, she came downstairs for breakfast and met Santiago already eating. She drank her porridge and went to the office together with Santiago.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Eve Diego and her parents. Behind them were two police men waiting for Aurora Logan. When Santiago saw them, his eyes narrowed and his lips twitched. Holding Aurora’s hand he walked toward the President’s office.
“She’s the one officer, arrest her” Eve Diego spoke. Santiago walked without looking back, still holding Aurora.
“Excuse me Miss” one of the police men spoke. Aurora was already shivering at the scene before her when she came out of the elevator. Thanks to Santiago who sensed her nervousness and immediately held her hand, and squeezed it as a means of reassuring her.
Santiago paused and turned to the officers, towering over Aurora, he held her close to his body like hugging her and asked “may I know why you want to see my girlfriend this early?”.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He asked coldly and stared at him expressionlessly. The officer felt his heartbeat almost skip at the man’s question. His cold icy aura is almost making him freeze. If he hadn’t been an officer and on duty, he sure knew he would have taken to his heels.
