Chapter 43: He Is Your Daddy

After helping Lucas take a lukewarm bath, Shantelle dried his hair. Lucas was already in his pajamas, looking at the mirror with a sad expression. He weakly asked, “What did you mean I’m his? The man from school?”

Shantelle switched off the hair dryer and smiled at the mirror. She said, “Let me take you to bed first.”

When Lucas sat on his bed, Shantelle first checked his temperature. The school had already given him medicine to bring down the fever. She simply needed to observe him for a day or two before deciding on getting some laboratory tests done.

“Show me your tongue? Looks fine.” She asked. “Let me look at your eyes again.”

After checking him thoroughly, she turned to the bedside table and suggested, “Drink that full glass of water. Later, after your rest,

revealing, “Lucas, that man was your father.

with a pout on his lips. He crossed his arms against his chest, saying, “My classmate said my daddy maybe did not love me. That’s

why I don’t have a daddy.”

Shantelle choked altogether. She put an arm around Lucas, answering, “No. That’s not it. I’m sure your daddy loves you.”

She certainly hoped, now, that she was

Shantelle urged Lucas to face her, both their feet on the bed. For a second, she was silent, thinking of where to start. Soon, she replied, “Sometimes, adults disagree with things, and that’s what happened to mommy and your daddy.”

“Before you were born, your daddy and I parted ways,” she explained. “Then, mommy was very busy at school and work, and I failed to tell your daddy about you. Another thing, he lives far from Warlington.”
