“talk to me doctor! What’s the
hurry all about!” Lara said with a
frown.
“We have to hurry my dear, for
your life! Your mum still needs
you around her! We have to
make haste while there’s yet
time” Olakija explained.
“Omolara don’t be strong headed
na! I can’t lose two things o! I
can’t lose my grand child and my
only child o! Follow the doctor’s
advice.”
Lara shook her head rising to her
feet.
“The baby has a father, the father
needs to give his full conscience,
Tony has to be here, else nothing
should touch his baby!” she said
in a fierce whisper.
“young lady…your husbands
presence would only worsen the
situation.” Olakija tried to hold
her.
“I still demand to let Tony know!
He doesn’t even know I’m in a
hospital right now!” Lara pushed
him away.
“What if I died in the process?
Tony would never forgive me!
Besides its against my faith to
kill! I can’t kill my baby!” she
turned to face her mother.
Funke thought for a while, she
exchanged some looks with the
doctor.
“Okay, call your husband to come
now.”
Lara looked from her mother to
Olakija, somehow she felt her
mother was up to something.
“Hello pumpkin” Tony said from
the other end.
“Hello baby…” her voice became
shaky.
“Hello…. hello…hello? Honey are
you alright?” Tony sounded
worried.
“Ye…no…yes!Tony please…can…
you come over over to Anukpo
specialist hospital now? Please…”
“Hospital? Lara are you okay?
Tony said again.
“Just come, now please!” Lara
ended the call.
....
“Excuse me….” Tony walked into
the room
“G’afnoon Doc.” Tony shook
Olakija.
“Good day ma’am” he greeted
his mother inlaw.
Lara hugged him weeping
profusely.
“Easy now baby…don’t cry..I’m
here okay?” He whispered as he
rocked her.
“Doctor, what’s wrong? I
mean..what going on?” Tony
asked the doctor.
“is it that serious? How bad is
it?” he asked again after Olakija
explained the situation to him.
“The situation is worse!” Olakija
sighed.
“Can’t we..I mean..don’t we have
time to think about it…I have to
inform my parents..” Tony was
trying his best to be strong.
“Parents ke! Were your parent
there when you impregnated my
daughter? Ehn?” Funke shouted
at him.
“you better allow the doctor do
his work o! After all you did to
my daughter you still want her
dead abi? Nothing should
happen to my daughter o”
“Hope you know your daughter
is also my wife!” Tony glared at
her.
“See who is talking o!” Funke
clapped.
“Let them do it…I don’t want to
die.” Lara said amidst tears.
“You won’t die…” Tony held her
tightly.
“Errm..Doctor.. I think we need
time to think about this…” Tony
turned to the doctor.
“Lets go home!” he helped Lara
to her feet.
“There’s no time.” Olakija
protested.
“There is always time!” Tony said
as he led Lara towards the door.
“Where are you taking my
daughter to? Ehn?” Funke tried
to stop them
“To a more reputable hospital! I
won’t let some quack and ill-
experienced doctors use my
wife as a sample for experiment!
Besides the hospital itself is not
fit!” he shot at her.
“Tony please…” Lara began to
plead.
“Lets go.” he said holding her
hand.
.....
Lara rested her head on Tony’s
shoulder, she was tired from
crying. Her in-laws were both
there with her; sitting on a
waiting chair.
The hospital was “reputable and
standard” as Tony puts it.
Amara shuffled to her feet as
Doctor Myles walked in.
“Sit down please.” Myles smiled
taking his seat.
Lara pursed her lips, she was
fighting back tears, she could
hear Tony’s heart pondering
dangerously against his chest.
“Well, it still beats my
imagination..I mean..what kinda
doctor would opt for an abortion
just like that?” Myles adjusted his
glasses as peered at some
papers.
“ermm…so…doctor , what have
found out?” Ifiora said gently.
“Yes..yes, oh yes!” Myles smiled
looking up at them.
“I’m glad to inform you all that
there’s nothing wrong with this
pregnancy” his smile widened.
“Did you check well? I mean…
did…did You conduct the test
properly? You’re sure there isn’t
a mistake?” Tony intoned.
“All is well.” myles laughed.
“Both the baby and its mother
are in perfect condition.”
“Oh my God!” Amara hugged
Lara affectionately
“Are very sure doctor?” Ifiora
wouldn’t believe.
“Very very sure! You can go
check in another hospital to
confirm the authencity.” Myles
chuckled.
“Come over here, baby…” Tony
whispered as he hugged Lara.
He was relieved all was well.
He shut his eyes as he savoured
her hug. That witch! He thought.
He was definitely going to deal
with his mother in-law. How
could she be so wicked?!
Stay tuned for part 16..
