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.

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.”

Lucas first for paternity. Anyone would.

After all, with what Keith had raised

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.”
