"miss Jane" Elara called excitedly as soon as miss Jane entered her ward
"My lady" miss Jane smiled and sat next to her bed then took the baby from her
"Our young master is so cute" she smiled stroking his face
"Are you feeling uncomfortable, do feel pain anywhere " Miss Jane faced her
"Were you avoiding me all these while because my sis in law ask you to do so?" She asked instead
"M..my lady" miss Jane stammered
"I knew it you weren't a bad person, you brought me to the hospital right" she smiled
"No,I didn't, luckily Dr bright arrived just immediately you passed out, since he works for the old master there's nothing young miss could do" she explained and Elara nodded
"Thanks" she said
"Huh?" Miss Jane's brow knitted in confusion
"You tried to call the ambulance even though Diana was against it , so I am very grateful, thanks to your care all these while I and the baby have been well baby, you sent me healthy food through the maids even though you never showed up, for all that I'm grateful" she said
"I should be the One to apologize,I watched go through so much you so much pain unable to do anything " miss Jane said and just then the door to the Ward opened and pair of black oxford shoe stepped in
Elara smiled thinking Damien came, but she met with a stranger instead,the man bowed slightly
"I'm Mr Harper, Mr Blackwood's secretary" he introduced
"You came with him" she asked unable to hide the excitement in her voice.
"Boss is very busy,so he sent me here instead" he said
"I see " she nodded
"I prepared a car to take yo.."
"Car, she just had surgery, how can she go home right now " Miss Jane interrupted him
"She has to, that's boss order " he replied
"But.."
"Miss Jane " Elara called and she faced her
"It's fine, I'll go home " she said and miss Jane sighed
A nurse entered pushing a wheelchair and the nurse together with Miss Jane helped her sit on it and Miss Jane pushed her out of the ward
The secretary sighed heavily remembering Damien's words earlier
Flashback ~ an hour ago>>
"Where's she" Damien asked
"She's at St Joe's hospital" he replied thinking he was planning to visit her
"Take a car and go send her home" Damien said
"Boss, she gave birth via surgery I don't think it is a good idea to send her home, she should at..."
"Dr bright would take care of that " Damien snapped at him and he quickly he scurried out .

"He's so mean to her" he sighed and followed them .
*****
"Grandpa" Elara greeted but was only met with a Cold glare, she had just arrived home and the old man came in not too long
"Andrew, that would be your name" the old man smiled picking up the infant, Elara frowned slightly, she had wanted to name him Liam instead, but Andrew?
The old man stayed a bit and took his leave but Damien never came till the next day and he only stayed briefly and made to leave
"Wait" Elara said and he paused on his tracks
"I know you can't stand the sight of me, but shouldn't you at least move in now that your son is born" she gathered up courage to say that
She's fine if he hates her, but she can't let him hate their son,he has nothing to do with this, it's almost a year already and he still hated her badly.
He scoffed and continued walking towards the door
"Do you really not care" her voice stopped him
"he's your son too how can you not care, this is between us it has nothing to do with him, he is just an innocent little boy, he doesn't deserve to be treated this way" she said and he walked closer to her
"Then you should have aborted him when you had the chance to or better still you shouldn't have thrown yourself at me so easily " he fired
"I never threw myself at you, you're just a perverted jerk,who only knows how to blame others for his mistake " she fired back and his eyes turned cold
"I never threw myself at you jerk, you forced yourself on me,why am I the only one getting blamed" she yelled as tears streamed down her face
"Quiet" he snarled
"Why should I, you.."
Andrews cries interrupt her and she carried him,her forehead was covered in sweat from pain as her wound hasn't healed yet.
Damien stormed out of the room and left instantly, Miss Jane came in instantly
"My lady" she called worriedly, since the two were yelling earlier the heard the commotion, and Damien leaving angrily confirmed everything
"I'm fine" Elara said breathing hard,
"You're bleeding ma'am" she said as she spotted some blood stains on her clothes, she quickly fetched the first aid box and waited patiently till she finished feeding Andrew who then fell asleep and she took him from her and placed him gently in his cot and she redressed Elara's wound
"You should rest, I'll prepare a herbal tonic for you,it would help heal faster" she said
"You are quite familiar with herbal essences" Elara said and miss Jane nodded
"I lived with my grandparents as a kid so I'm familiar with all these since grandma deals with herb" she explained
"I see" Elara said and miss Jane left to go prepare the tonic, while she lay back on the bed and her thoughts wandered back to her parents, they haven't visited not even once, not even a phone call, they probably disowned her already, she knows how strict her father can be,he must have warned them strictly not to visit her or call.
Alone tear slipped down her face, despite spending close to a year here, it still felt foreign to her, she missed her hometown badly, her friends, brother and others, she so much wishes to see them, but none of them care, they did not even bother to come check on her, perhaps they've forgotten her already or they still saw her as a sl*t
"Creak" she heard the door opened and quickly wiped her tears,as expected it was miss Jane who brought her the tonic she just prepared
"Have you been crying?" Miss Jane asked noticing the tear stains on her face
"No, something got into my eyes" she lied
"Oh,i see" Miss Jane played along and placed the tray on the small table beside her bed
"You should take it while it's still hot" she said and left.
