Chapter 127
Ethan made him scared for the first time in his life.
“If you have nothing more to say, you may leave. I was working before you came in here” Ethan said.
“And if you dare hurt anyone close to me, I’ll wipe off your entire generation and make you lose the huts you call companies, you know with just a word from me to the press, you’re ruined. The battle is between us, do not let it exceed to our close ones”Ethan said.
Morgan gave him one last look before walking out of his office, Javad was surprised to see Morgan look that way as he walked away with his bodyguards.
What could Ethan have said to him.
Robbins walked into Ethan’s office after he summoned him.
“Did you give the bodyguard the cheque?” Ethan asked.
“Yes Mr Ethan, he was so grateful” Robbins said.
“He’s the worst looking of them all and i know he really needs the money” Ethan said.
“I hope things went fine between you and Morgan?” Robbins asked.
“Very fine! I’m so proud of myself, I’ve never felt this good” Ethan smiled.
“I’m glad” Robbins smiled too.
“I’m starving already” Ethan said.
“I’m going to order lunch right away sir” Robbins said and Ethan nodded with a smile.
He wished he had never made his parents pick up Morgan from the first place, who knows where he could’ve been now. In the guitar?

“OMG!” Irish laughed so hard at the movie she was watching with her stepmum.
Mr Helen stared at her and smiled.
Irish has been so happy since Ethan came around.
She smiled and laughed at everything, she even ate to her full, claiming she doesn’t want her baby to starve.
Arusha was so happy too.
Ethan”s presence really lit up Irish.
She even looks more beautiful now, she had worn a bright coloured dress today and packed her hair in her favorite style.
How she quickly changed after seeing Ethan didn’t surprise Mrs Helen, she was once in love too.
Her only prayer now was for Ethan to stand by her which she know he’s capable of.
And she’s going to start knitting little wears for the baby.
Irish sniffed the bunch of flowers Ethan has sent to her this morning, she smiled and continued watching the movie.
Mrs Helen chuckled softly knowing she can’t even count the amount of time Irish had sniffed the flowers.
Her daughter is so in love..
“Should i make some pizza rolls for you?” Mrs Helen asked.
“No, you really need to rest so the medications can work and i just finished a bag of potato chips not long ago” Irish said.
“Oh.. okay” Mrs Helen smiled.
“Do you want something?” Irish asked.
“No, I’m okay” Mrs Helen said and Irish nodded before turning back to the movie.
“I should switch to another channel already, this movie is going to crack my ribs” Irish laughed hard and quickly grabbed the remote control.

“I’m so happy” Olivia grinned after Arusha and Jessica told her the couple reconciled already.”I still can’t believe how Irish changed after Mr Ethan came around, it was so surprising. She ate everything she could lay her hands on yesterday and we even had to stop her at some point”
Arusha said and they laughed.
“This is a great news!”Olivia said.
“Yes it is. I’m so happy” Jessica said.
“And Mr Ethan even sent flowers to her before i left for school this morning”Arusha said.
“Awwwn” Olivia and Jessica said in unison.
“Geez! Ladies do have common traits. That was what Irish said after receiving the flower and i almost thought she had turned into a cat” Arusha said and Jessica and Olivia laughed hard. “Damn! You’re so funny” Jessica said.
“He is and he doesn’t even know it”Olivia said, staring lovingly at Arusha.
“What’s stopping you both from dating already?” Jessica asked, resting her chins on her palms. “Huh?” Olivia asked, blushing hard.
She quickly made her hair cover her cheeks and then stared at her fingers nervously.
Damn! Jessica shouldn’t have brought this up now.
“Uhh…” Arusha scratched his hair, stealing glances at Olivia.
“You don’t have to say anything. Jessica was just joking. Right Jessy?” Olivia asked.
“No, I’m not” Jessica shrugged.
Ding!
“Oh.. my, see how flushed you both look” Jessica laughed and Olivia glared at her playfully. “Okay, Arusha, how’s Ryan? You’ve not talked about him recently” Jessica said and Arusha laughed.
“Stop pretending already, you like him” Olivia said.
“I don’t” Jessica denied.
“You do” Arusha said, it was their turn to see Jessica’s cheeks go red and they both laughed.
“I only asked cause i…. you haven’t talked about him for days now” Jessica said.
“That’s because of what happened. Ryan’s fine and he asks of you too”Arusha said.
“Really?” Jessica asked.
“Yes, will you come over by weekend?” Arusha asked.
“I will!” Jessica quickly said and realising she had said that too fast and eagerly.
“I will” She repeated very slowly and less eagerly. It made Olivia and Arusha burst into laughter.
“Oli, will you come over too?” Arusha asked and the idea sounded great to Olivia, she’ll get to meet Ryan and even Irish! But she doubt her father would allow her. He won’t allow her step out of the palace.
“Maybe next time” Olivia said.
“Why?” Jessica and Arusha asked in unison.
“I don’t think my Dad will allow me” She said sadly.
“Why? He doesn’t allow you visit friends?” Jessica ssked and Olivia nodded.
“You said he knew about us, I’m sure he won’t mind if you want to hang out with us” Arusha said.
“It’s not even that” Olivia said.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“It’s what?” Arusha asked.
“Okay! You know what? I’ll try to cajole him into letting me come over, how about that?” Olivia asked with a smile.
“Great!”
They continued chatting and laughing as they ate.
Jessica was so glad to be part of them.
They were her best gift!
NEXT DAY
____ ___
Ethan sat in his office at ‘Ethan’s construction’
He was busy with his laptop that the cup of coffee before him had turned cold.
So much is needed to be done and he needs to finish it up.
His phone started ringing and he almost ignored it but he couldn’t after staring at the screen. It was Irish.
He smiled, he didn’t even inform her of Morgan’s visit.
“Hey sweetheart” He said.
“Ethan..” She said and he noticed how dull her voice sounded..
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
“T.. the baby, i.. j.. ust fell. Bl.. ood. I’m bleeding!” She said in tears.
“Oh my God!” Ethan nearly dropped his laptop on the floor..
He rushed out of his office and Robbins and Javad hurried after him.
“Is Mrs Helen there?” Ethan asked as he rushed to the parking lot.
“She went to the gr.. ocery store. I don’t w.. ant to lose my ba.. by” Irish cried weakly.
“Just hold in there for me okay. I’ll be right there, stay on the call, do not disconnect” Ethan said. “Get the damn car ready!” Ethan yelled at his driver.
___
Ethan arrived at Irish’s house in minutes and he almost fell as he rushed out of the car when his driver wasn’t even fully parked.
He got into the house in a flash and Robbins thought Mr Ethan could beat Usain Bolt at that moment.
“I.. I’m in my room. The first one on the left” Irish said.
Ethan threw his phone at Robbins who caught it like he had been expecting it.
He headed to Irish’s room and almost tore the door open.
He walked in and met her writhing in pain on the floor, with her white robe messed with blood. Her eyes had gone red with tears and she was looking ashen.
“OMG!” He exclaimed, picking her up.
“I.. i ” She was saying.
“Don’t say anything” Ethan said, rushing out of the room with Irish in his hands.
Robbins and Javad were shocked to see her in that condition.
They hurried after Ethan.
