CHAPTER HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN With the thoughts that resided in his mind constantly reoccurring throughout the ride to the School, Marcus could only sigh severally, that the guard in the driver’s seat was forced to steal interval looks at him, wondering what was wrong with him. “A lot has happened within a few days, my head bangs!” He whispered loudly, but the only thing the guard could hear was mumblings, as Marcus’s words were inaudible to him, and all of his efforts to hear him were futile. Feeling that someone was watching him, Marcus was moved by impulse, as he changed his view from staring at nothing to looking at the rearview mirror, only to see the eyes of the guard staring at him, even though he withdrew his gaze at once. Instantly, Marcus’s thoughts were drifted by the sight of himself which made him really uncomfortable. He looked at the time on his wristwatch and sighed. “I still have some time left, I could take some time to myself. After all, I don’t see what I would

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN “What is this?” Maggie asked as though she didn't know what a car looked like, staring at the black Porsche in front of her, while she held onto the baby. “He will take us to the hospital, we must hurry now,” Marcus said amidst the anxiousness in him regarding his son’s health, but Maggie didn't seem like she was ready to budge. “Whose car is this?” Charmed by the beauty of the black sleek car, Maggie made inquisitive stares, as her thoughts assured her that there was no way the car belonged to Marcus. “It’s for a friend.” “What friend? I don't know any other friend of yours, apart from Fred.” “Well, as you said, you don't know this friend.” Maggie scoffed, and then she took a careful look at the car, while Marcus waited anxiously for her to move. “Please, hurry! We need to get to the hospital as soon as we can.” “Don’t try to rush me, for all I know, this car could be stolen, or probably belong to someone dangerous, and I don’t want to be invol

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND NINETEEN “Very well then, I hope she gets here soon.” The Doctor said to Maggie, and then he turned to look at Marcus whose countenance refused to change. “What could be going on between these two?” He asked as he continued to observe them closely, stealing glances at them. A few minutes later, the nurse returned with a large metal tray full of some medications for the baby, which she kept on the table close to the stretcher. She carried the baby gently and placed him on the bed in a corner of the room, while the rest of the people in the room watched her with keen attention. A few seconds later, Marcus walked up to the bed and watched as the nurse ran some tests on the baby, before going ahead to administer some medications to him. At first, the toddler cried, but he soon fell asleep, and the nurse covered him properly with a white bedspread. “Please, can we go to my office? I would like to give you some documents to sign.” The Doctor said to both Maggie and

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE Marcus chuckled at Jane’s words, but she wasn’t done talking, as she felt he was embarrassed by him in front of the Doctor, even though she wasn’t sure of the things he said to him. “What’s so funny? Huh? Is that your way of running away from paying the medical bills? Why don’t you handle it, if you are a man?” “That’'s enough, Jane! Stop it right there…”“Or what? What are you going to do if I don't stop? You pathetic loser! You think you are the best father, just because you come every day to see your son. But that's only because you are a jobless good-for-nothing man.” Marcus scoffed at Jane’s words, and then he looked at her, and then at Maggie with a smirk on his face, while they continued to give him looks of disdain. “Stop, Jane. You are causing a scene, there is no need for all of this. What we should be focused on right now is our son’s health. I am surprised you still have enough energy to fight me, after everything that has happened. Our

CHAPTER HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE“Absolutely! They must really have a lot of questions going on in their minds right now.” Marcus said to Brenda with a smile on his face as well. He looked at Brenda with a soft chuckle on his face, while she shared the same sensation as well. At that moment, the doors leading into the hospital flung open, and they grabbed onto each other, with their faces turning to see who was coming out of the hospital. Seeing that it was just an old man walking out of the hospital with the help of a nurse, they laughed loudly again and pulled away gently from each other, with Marcus mistakenly stepping on Brenda’s right heel. “I am sorry, really sorry.”“It’s fine, I am sure you didn’t mean to,” Brenda said with a smile on her face, as Marcus gently let go of her hands, as though he wasn’t really intending to. Marcus coughed twice to clear his throat and the sudden awkwardness that had crept into their bodies as they looked at eac
