Chapter 191: Charles’ Last Request

“Wow, she is just so beautiful! This time, she has Keith’s features,” Shantelle said, pinching Karise’s new baby girl. “I’m glad I came here.”

“I’m glad you did,” Karise said the same. “I miss you and everybody.”

Shantelle smiled at her friend, saying, “We talk a lot, but yes, I miss you too. We have all been busy.”

Months had passed since Shantelle and her friends had gathered.

Following the day Charles was admitted to the heart and lung center, it had not been the same for Keith and Karise.

Charles had been in and out of the hospital since, from infection and, recently, liver and kidney failure. Keith’s father underwent intensive chemotherapy because his cancer cells were aggressive. Still, as a result, it affected his other organs, especially his liver.

Sean and Reese were Keith’s constant aid with Kamila, and that was because proximity allowed them to quickly rush to their villa. There were nights when Keith and Karise would leave for the hospital in the wee hours, bringing Kamila and her nanny to Sean and Reese. That day, they had the same arrangement. At least Reese’s mother was constantly home, regardless if Sean and Reese were out for work.

Keith tried not to involve his wife whenever his father was rushed to the hospital, but at the same time, he needed his wife emotionally. He could not help but also want his wife with him.

Coincidentally, Shantelle had earlier observed a pediatric surgery. It was part of her training so she could better perform pediatric surgeries. So when she learned that Karise had given birth at the same hospital, she visited her friend. 1

Karise was in the care of Mister Myers, her father. Keith was at the heart and lung center, aiding his parents.

“What is her name?” Shantelle asked while looking at the newborn baby.

“Keith and I – we don’t know if we’ll have another child. So we wanted to name her after her grandfather,” Karise said. “Charlene.” 3

“Uncle Charles and Helen,” Shantelle remarked. “Good choice.”
