Chapter 34: New Patient

“Happy Anniversary, grandma & grandpa!” Lucas greeted, carrying a cake early in the morning into the dining room. Behind him was his mother, Shantelle.

“Happy Anniversary, mom and dad!” Shantelle greeted.

Both Shantelle and Lucas kissed William and Eleanor on the cheek. Shantelle then gave an envelope to her father, saying, “As promised, your anniversary trip!”

“Anniversary, trip?” Eleanor’s eyes widened in surprise. She turned to William, asking. “Had you known all along? So that’s why you took a two-week leave?”

“Three weeks,” William corrected. “And yes, I could use a vacation. It had been so long.”

“I don’t know if I can. Who will take care of Lucas?” Eleanor said with a worried expression on her face.

Shantelle felt guilty altogether. It was because of Lucas that her parents gave up on taking breaks. She went on several years straight, focusing on her studies and residency, that her parents had to see through. Lucas’ needs.

“Mom, I can take care of Lucas, please. Then, the maids can attend to him if I have an emergency surgery.

Shantelle combed Lucas’ hair with her fingers, saying, “He isn’t a baby anymore.”

“Right, I’m not a baby,” Lucas said back.

“You deserve a vacation, mom. Besides, the tickets have all been paid for,” Shantelle insisted. “It’s a two- week Antarctica cruise. You can’t miss out on all the whales and penguins!”

“Whales? Penguins? I wanna come! I want to come too, mommy!” Lucas expressed, and they all laughed.

“Honey, you can’t. You have school, and mommy has a lot of work. Shantelle pinched Lucas’ cheek and said, “Please, don’t leave mommy behind. We will go together, one day.”

“Promise?” Lucas sought.

Shantelle raised her hand and answered, “Promise. One day. Now, let’s hurry up with your breakfast. I’m taking you to school today.”
