Chapter 44: Hi Daddy

“Shanty, dear. What did you and Evan talk about? He is not telling me anything. Sometimes he smiled, and sometimes he returned to his gloomy self again. What went on with your conversation yesterday?” Clara asked while Shantelle was checking on Erick inside the ICU.

Erick Thompson was still sedated. Their hospital’s protocol was to have an open- heart surgery patient rest with a lung machine within twelve to twenty-four

hours. So far, he had passed the observation

period and was due to be extubated.

“He um. He hasn’t told you about Lucas?”

Shantelle asked Clara in surprise.

Clara frowned. She sought, “About your boyfriend, no? Is that what happened to his

knuckles? Oh, I hope he did not punch Lucas

in the face.”

Shantelle chuckled. She replied, “No, he could not dare to punch Lucas in the face.”

She sat next to Clara and revealed, “Aunt, we did not get to finish our conversation because of an emergency. That’s probably why he did not tell you just yet. However, I already know about Nicole.”

“Oh, thank the heavens,” Clara said. She

held Shantelle’s hand and asked, “Then,

Evan had not told Clara about Lucas.

However, she assumed he wanted to test

Lucas first for paternity. Anyone would.

After all, with what Keith had raised

yesterday, she would not blame Evan for having second thoughts.

So instead, she updated Clara about Erick. She reported, “I’ll have Uncle Erick off his ventilator. He is doing well. I’ll order the

nurses to stop his sedatives, but he’ll need

you when he wakes up, aunt.”

“I’ll be here,” Clara confirmed.
