I Hope You Will Never Regret

When they arrived at the hospital, August called Dr Lambert and told him that his daughter had fallen on her injured arm. Dr Lambert asked him to come to his office. August greeted him and said, “Dr Lambert, sorry to trouble you. Kindly check my daughter’s cast if there are no cracks.” Dr Lambert took Avery away from her father. When they came back, Dr Lambert said, “There are no cracks on the cast and there is no swelling as well.”

He smiled at Avery and said, “Miss Avery, I don’t want to see you in my hospital ever again. Take care of yourself.” Mr Martins thanked Dr Lambert then they left the hospital. On their way to the parking lot, his phone started ringing. He smiled when he saw the caller ID and said, “Hello brother-in-law, have you boarded your flight?” Edwin smiled brightly and replied, “Yes, I have, brother-in-law. I will call you when we land.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

August replied, “Travel mercies, brother-in-law. Take a month’s vacation leave. Spend time with your beautiful wife and your lovely daughter. Don’t worry about work, they come first. Don’t allow your sister or anything else to come between you and your wife.”

Edwin was so touched and said, “Thank you so much brother-in-law for everything, much appreciated.” Then they hung up. Then Edwin switched his phone off. August saw his wife and two helpers accompanying her to the hospital. He looked at his wife coldly, and then he got in his car with his daughter and drove away.

When Mr Martins arrived home, he told Aunt Rose that he would be taking everyone out for vacation. He told them that they would leave at 8 am. After he bought his mansion, he went to His Miracle orphanage and hired twenty young ladies. He took them to His Goodness Resort to be trained for housekeeping.

After three months, he asked them to choose between working at his home or at the resort. Six of them chose to work at his home. He treated them as part of the family. When Aunt Rose told them the good news, they were over the moon. They started packing; they didn’t want to delay Mr Martins.

At the Shelton residence, Brad and his wife, Mia and their guests were in the dining room eating. The atmosphere was warm. Brad looked at his wife and said, “My dearest wife, Skye Powell is coming to visit us tomorrow. Would you be so kind as to accompany me to fetch him?” Mia pouted her mouth and replied, “Sorry Love, I don’t want to leave Cathy alone.”

Cathy smiled at her friend and said, “I don’t mind, please go with your husband.” Mia looked at Lily and asked, “Do you want to go to the airport with us? It is big and it has delicious food.” Lily smiled brightly and replied, “I would like to go with you, Aunt Mia.” She looked at Cathy and said, “Let us all go to the airport.”

At the Taylor Private hospital at 6 am, in Elizabeth private ward, the nurse helped her to wash up then she gave her the medication. A few minutes later, the food service staff came and asked Elizabeth if she would like to order something for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Elizabeth indicated that her family would deliver the food from home.

She waited for the helpers to bring food but no one came. Unbeknownst to her everyone in the Martins residence was on their way to His Goodness Resort. She took her phone and called Aunt Rose. She didn’t even greet her and said, “Am I paying you to be lazy? It’s 9 am but you haven’t sent someone to bring food. Do you want me to die of hunger?” Then she dropped the phone before Aunt Rose responded.

Aunt Rose told her nephew about Elizabeth’s call. August told Aunt Rose to ignore Elizabeth. Mr Martins had already informed His Goodness Manager; Hazel Elvis that he was bring his family for vacation. He asked her to prepare the rooms accordingly. When they arrived at the resort, Hazel and her management gave them a warm welcome.

At 10 am, Brad received a call from Skye Powell indicating that his flight had landed. Brad told his wife that it was time to go. The black Chrysler SUV was standing in the driveway. Mia and the others followed Brad to the car. Fortunately, there was no traffic. It took them thirty minutes to reach the airport. Also, at that time, the flight from South Africa had just landed.

Brad parked his car, and then they walked to the arrivals. Skye Powell was playing games on his phone. Brad and the others walked to him. They hugged each other. Then Skye kissed Mia on both cheeks, he picked up Lily and said, “Hello beautiful.”

Lily smiled shyly and replied, “Hello uncle.” Brad introduced Cathy and said, “Skye, this is Cathy, my wife’s friend.” Skye smiled brightly and said, “Nice to meet you, Cathy.” She smiled and replied, “Likewise, Skye.”

At that moment, Cathy’s phone rang. She took it out of her handbag. When she saw the caller ID she frowned, and then she rejected the call. Unbeknownst to her, Edwin was looking at her when she was rejecting his call. However, he wasn’t angry. He walked towards them smiling. When Lily saw her father, she was so happy. She screamed, “Daddy.”

She struggled in Skye’s arms, and then he put her down. Lily ran as fast as she could towards her father and threw herself in his arms. Cathy was dumbfounded. Was she hallucinating? What was her husband doing in Australia? Edwin approached them with his daughter in his arms and greeted everyone.

He smiled brightly at his wife and said, “Sweetheart, I was trying to get hold of you but the call didn’t get through. What a coincidence.” Cathy felt guilty because she rejected her husband’s call. Mia smiled and said, “Cathy, why didn’t you tell us that Edwin was visiting us today as well?” Cathy didn’t know what to say.

Edwin smiled brightly and replied, “It’s my fault, Mia. I didn’t tell Cathy that I was coming. I wanted to surprise her.” Cathy looked at her husband with a shy smile. She was happy in her heart that her husband had come to see her far away from her sister-in-law. Edwin hugged his wife tightly; he missed her so much. Lily was over the moon to see her father. Brad introduced Edwin to Skye, and they shook their hands.

Mia took Cathy’s hand then they went to the restaurant to buy a burger meal for Lily. Then they walked to the parking lot chatting and laughing. Edwin was grinning from ear to ear with his daughter in his arms. They got in the SUV, and then Brad drove to his home. The atmosphere in the car was very good. They were laughing at Skye’s jokes. Edwin was gazing at his wife with tenderness, his eyes was full of love.

A few minutes later, Brad parked his car in the driveway. Edwin was mesmerized by Brad and Mia’s villa. It was beautiful and big. The interior was decorated lavishly. He was reminded of his brother-in-law’s mansion. It was breathtakingly stunning. Mia looked at Cathy and said, “My dearest, lunch will be served in an hour’s time. Please take Edwin to your bedroom to freshen up.” Cathy took her husband’s bag and said, “Hubby, let’s go to the bedroom to rest.” Then Edwin walked with his wife hand in hand.
