Chapter 6

  • Nancy POV
  • I was sleeping peacefully with my little angel and in the early morning, I got a call from the hospital. At first, seeing the number displayed on the screen I was scared I picked up the call with trembling hands and said in a cracked voice “Hello” other side replied a lady “Miss Jones, your brother is awake” after listening to this I was so happy, I hung up the call, went out of my bedroom called Angie’s babysitter and instructed her “I am leaving for the hospital once Angie is awake bring her to the hospital”.
  • After that I came back to my bedroom slowly and took some clothes from my cloakroom without making any noise so that I didn't disturb my little princess. After that I went to another room to get ready, I had messaged Riya that “I am leaving for the hospital”. I thought of not disturbing her as it was only 6 in the morning.
  • I reached the hospital in 30 minutes when I opened the door of Chris’s room there I saw a man almost 6 feet seated at the bedside. Hearing the door opening sound he also turned and I can say looking at him that he was some big shot. He was dressed very nicely in a tailored suit, he stood from the bed then Chris was able to see me and he was overjoyed. He still had all the machines attached to him but he was in better condition.
  • I walked inside and said “Brother finally you are awake” while sitting on the other side of the bed.
  • Chris said with a smile “I am so happy to see you, If only I knew you will come back to see your brother when I have accidents then I can meet accidents every alternate day…and ” I cut him off “shut up, you know you scared me, you and Riya are my only family how could you say such things” we were so much engrossed in our talk that the third person was left out. After a few minutes, we heard “ahem ..ahem” then we realized that he was standing there Chris immediately said “oh! I am so sorry Malcolm, I forgot to introduce you to my sister this is my lovely little sister Nancy” then he turned his face towards me and said “Sis, he is my best friend Malcolm” 
  • I just gave a small smile to Malcolm and he reverted same and then he said “I have heard a lot about you from Chris, he talks a lot about you” I just nodded and smiled, I don’t know what to say because I never heard about him, whenever I and Chris talk we have our things to talk.
  • All three of us chatted, or you can say only me and Chris were talking and Malcolm was listening to us with a faint smile. After some time Chris asked me “Sis, you had your breakfast? You came early in the morning and where is my princess”. I replied him “Chris I am not the one ill here, I can have my breakfast later and about your princess, she will come when she is awake” just as I finished Malcolm said, “I also didn’t have breakfast and also dinner yesterday night, if you don’t mind can we go and grab something to eat?”. I was thinking how to reject him because in last five years I have never been with anyone and it feels awkward to go alone with him but Chris immediately said “yes you both go and have something, I cannot have solid food so don’t think of eating in front of me” I smiled listening to Chris’s childish tone and agreed to go and have breakfast with Malcolm. 
  • Author’s POV
  • After coming out Nancy was heading to the hospital cafeteria but Malcolm stopped her and said: “please don’t mind Nancy but I don’t like hospitals and having food here is out of my scope, can we go to the café opposite to the hospital it’s not far so we will come back soon”.
  • Nancy agreed soon, they were walking outside the hospital when Owen saw her from the backside and he immediately recognized her but he felt angry seeing her walking with another man whom he was not able to recognize.  He didn’t understand why he was feeling irritated he wanted to follow her but his subconscious mind told him “why you have to follow her she might be with her husband or boyfriend” on this thought he dropped the idea of following them and headed to his car.
  • Malcolm and Nancy reached the café and sat on a corner seat next to the big transparent window. They ordered their food and after that, there was an awkward silence. After some time Malcolm tried initiating the discussion “so for how long you are here” Nancy replied “once Chris is fine and in condition to travel I will take him to NY with me, so that I can look after him” Malcolm smiled and said “Chris is lucky to have a sister like you” Nancy just smiled and at that same time Owen’s car passed the café and he saw Nancy smiling and he felt like her smile took his breath away she was so beautiful but next moment he saw a handsome man next to her and he was shocked to see him and he mumbled to himself “what is he doing here, when did he came back?”
  • Owen’s POV
  • As much as I know he is not married, he dated any girl in the past or allowed any girl near him, then how did he know Nancy? Is she his girlfriend and he had kept her hidden because of his identity why did she came to Houston all of sudden, as much as I heard from Kara she stays in NY and Malcolm stays in Taxes then how can they date, there are many questions but why I need this answers what I have to do with her, I think I should keep a safe distance with that girl. Although it’s tough but I have to do it
  • I went to the office, leaving the butler in the hospital to look after Dad. I thought of finishing my work fast and coming back as soon as possible. As I was entering my office I got a call from Kara, I don’t want to answer her call but I know she will definitely keep on calling till I respond to the call so I picked up the call.
  • She told me “Owen, baby what time will you come to pick me?” I frowned and said in a little irritating voice “for what I have to pick you, where are we going?” she immediately replied, “baby, you forgot we have a meeting with Miss Jones we have to go to our house, remember she wanted to start the work after checking the site”. I actually forgot about it but still, I thought of denying her immediately but thought of Nancy and her smiling face flashed in my mind and my devil angel told me “dude! You can keep distance with her but what goes in seeing her, after all, she is a treat for eyes to watch” and with that, I agreed to pick Kara.
