Ethan prepared himself to go about his day.
He had successfully been able to secure his CEO. He now had to return to his normal life, pending the court calling him back again to resume the proceedings.
Now, he had to go take care of his patients, including Mr Winsor, Emily's grandfather, who was along very fast, even though he did not really do anything therapeutic to help.
From there, he had to head to the Cley Islands to take care of Ike's father's as well.
The man had always begun showing visible signs of progress, and Ethan knew he was going to be healed soon.

FINALLY FREEEthan looked at the necklace and an idea popped up in his head.If he could wear the necklace to read his thoughts, and sometimes the necklace could tell him what to do, it meant he could use the same necklace to get the best option out of all the options he had.He smiled, knowing he was finally going to find a solution.He picked up the necklace and wore it around his neck.“Welcome User” The voice in his head suddenly came alive, echoing the welcome message to himEthan smiled.He closed his eyes and began thinking calmly, unconsciously whispering the question silently.“Emily is pregnant. Do I accept the responsibility of the baby and take care of the baby while encouraging a romantic relationship with her, for the sake of the baby, or just accept the responsibility and take care of the baby without any relationship with her?Or do I speak to her so we terminate the pregnancy, which one is the better option?” Ethan thought to himself, knowing that the necklace was goi

A MAN IN THOUGHTSThe more Ethan thought about what was happening, the more confused he got, but something struck him.The last words of Emily when he was leaving the restaurant replayed back in his mind, and that got him thinking.“If I decide to keep the pregnancy, is there any chance of us being together?”The question replayed in his mind, again and again.The question Emily had asked him meant that Emily was keen on them coming back together.She wanted to know if Ethan was going to be with him if she was to keep the pregnancy.That would mean she was definitely going to make the decision to keep the pregnancy just so she could come back to him, maybe for a romantic relationship.Ethan took a deep breath.But then, something occurred to him at that very moment.If Emily was hoping to be in a relationship with him for the sake of the pregnancy, could that mean Emily intentionally decided not to protect herself after the affair, just so they could end up together again because of t

THE MAN IN A DILEMMAEmily went silent. She was not expecting the question, but she knew very well it was an important question she was yet to ask herself.The place went silent for more than a minute.Ethan sat patiently, taking a few sips from his coffee at intervals, to give her the time to give an answerEmily finally found her voice and spoke.“I do not really know if i can handle all this. My grandfather is just about to hand over everything he has to me, and If i have a baby now, it will be difficult to handle. I don't know what to do,” She finally said.Ethan nodded.“I understand you,” Ethan said in whispers.“What about you?” Emily asked him.Ethan raised an eyebrow.“what about me?” He muttered the question back to her.“Yes. Are you ready to be a father?” Emily asked him.Ethan paused.That was the question he dreaded being asked, and Emily had finally asked him that question.Normally, he knew he could not deny responsibility for the pregnancy, but his fears went far beyo

DILEMMA OF A FATHERIt was a bright morning and the sun was already up in the sky, threatening to blow its heat of the summer mercilessly for that day.Ethan drove his car in silence.The only sound that he could hear was the sound of the engine, running smoothly as he sped off on the road.The Google Maps he was using would occasionally give him direction, and he followed silently.He finally got to the big hotel where the location was pointed out.It was a huge hotel having a rooftop restaurant.Ethan got out of his car, locked it and made his way t

A LADY UNDER STRESS“Wow. That was quite expected. I knew something like that was going to happen,” Ethan commented.“Really? So, what do I do now?” Keziah asked him.“Yes. I knew he was not going to give you the money. For now, you can begin something with what you have. Like we discussed, I am going to find the remaining one so you can start it. I requested that the companies send me the quotes. I will go through it today and get back to you. Just don’t worry about it,” Keziah said.“There is one more thing,” Keziah said with a shaky voice “What?” Ethan asked her calmly.“I want to move out of this house. I think a whole lot of this is stemming from the fact that I still do live with them, and they feel I am still their responsibility. It will be better if I move out,” Keziah responded.“Okay, but please don't tell me you said that to your father. Please tell me you did not,” Ethan asked eagerly. “I did. I already did,” Keziah dropped the bombshell.“Oh no. You shouldn't have sai

NO INVESTMENTS AGAINAfter forty-five minutes in the plane and twenty minutes on the road, he finally got home.Ethan sat in his living room, taking a deep breath from exhaustion.Now that he had arrived, he had to make the necessary calls to know how he was going to schedule his day the next day.He placed a call to Mr David to enquire if there was any news he needed to know.“Hey Ethan, are you back?” Mr David asked him when he answered the call.“Yes. I just returned from the Cley islands. I wanted to know if there is any news so far.” Ethan enquired from him.“So far, I have not received any message indicating that the court proceedings are beginning. Which only means that there will be no court tomorrow. For the evidence, I am still arranging them in the perfect order to be used in court. I have placed calls to the nurse whose number I took. I am still trying to convince her to help us.For the doctor, I am unable to reach him so I will keep trying until I get to him.That is a
