Chapter 66
Liege clinic
Female ward VIP room 18.
Andre smiled as the baby girl clasped her tiny hand around his finger.
” She’s so cute. She’s like an angel. A combination of Flora and Mason.” he praised with teary eyes and the baby cooed.
“Aww!”
“Hey, if you make her cry, I won’t forgive you.” Dorothy warned as she stepped into the ward.
“She’s so cute. How dare I make her sad? Mama, how can you be like this?” he complained, looking wronged.
“I asked you to introduce a girl, but you keep trying to bury the matter. Now see how you’re behaving. You can say ‘ Cutie, little angel, blessed honey’ as much as you want to your baby girl.”
“Mama, calm down. Anger is dangerous for your health and not good for the baby to see.”
He rose from the chair beside the bed and walked to her. Then he gave her a big hug.
“Mama, I promise to introduce her to you soon. I’ll surprise you, I promise. Can you calm down now?”
“Hmph! I’m not gullible!” she folded her arms and looked away from him.
“Mama, can my abs calm you down? Legit 8 packs; not one missing. The price for seeing them is a warm hug. A fair trade, right?”
She looked at him, pissed.
She unfolded her arms and pulled on his right ear.
“Ow… ow… ouch! Mama, can you calm down, please?”
In response, she pulled on his ear more.
“I’m sorry. I was wrong. I was wrong!” he cried, and she stopped pulling on his ears.
“Mama, for a moment I thought I would become earless.”
“On second thought, maybe I should cut those ears off. They are just decorations.”
“Mumma, don’t be like this. I swear on my life to bring you a girl soon.”
“How soon. Like tomorrow?'”
“That’s too early. I can’t just pick up a random girl from the streets and then come show her to you as my girlfriend. Mumma…”
“Mother and son, do you want my baby to cry? See how she’s staring at you guys? She should be having her beauty sleep!” the child’s mother said as soon as she became awake.
“Oh lil sis, can I take her home for a day? I promise to devote my time to her. Won’t let her outta my sight for a second. Please!” Andre put his palms together, blinking severally.
“Ahem… Why do you want to take her?” Flora asked.
“She’s cute?”
“That isn’t enough reason. There are many cuties out there.”
“But she’s the only cutie that caught my interest. Please, let me take her just for today.”
“Big bro,” she called.
“Yes!”
“Can you comfort crying babies?”
“I did so when I was younger. Even with you.”
“What about now?”
“Err.. no?”
“Can you change her diaper? Can you sing lullabies? Can you bathe her? Her umbilical cord is still out.”
Andre sheepishly shook his head. Their mother was shaking her head in amusement.
Flora touched her bosom that were much bigger than when they first reunited.
Andre looked away.
“Lil sis, how can you do that in front of me?”
“Do you have means to breastfeed her? She doesn’t take milk in a bottle. She seeks the natural and original.”
He shook his head and turned to face her and the happy baby girl.
“I guess all you wanna give her are kisses on her cheeks and forehead.”
Andre blushed.
His mother laughed out with tears rolling down her eyes.
“Way to go, daughter.” she gave her daughter a light high five.
Andre could only sigh and shake his head.
“Baby girl, don’t worry. I’ll earn the right to take you home for a day. Wait for me, ok?” he whispered to the baby and she cooed.
He placed a kiss on her forehead and rose. His phone rang when he was about to say something.
He took his phone from his pocket and saw the caller ID.
He immediately excused himself from the room.

“Anna, what happened?” he asked outside the ward.
“Andre, you really need to come save me now.” replied Annabelle from the other end in a distressed tone of voice.
He became worried.
“Annie, are you alright? Where are you?”
“I…” Annabelle didn’t get to complete her words before the line went off.
His forehead creased.
He called her again, but she didn’t pick.
What exactly was happening?
‘Is someone after her life?’ he thought in perplexity.
Suddenly, his phone began to ring again.
He saw it was her calling. He quickly answered.
“Anna…” he was cut short by a strange voice that sounded creepy.
“Boy, I have her in my custody. She’s quite the looker. ”
“Hey… Who are you and what do you want? Get this in mind. Don’t you dare lay a finger on her. You hear me?” he barked.
“Hahahaha, hahahaha! You make me amused lad. A runt like you who doesn’t know his position dares to threaten me. Should I be amazed or flattered? Hahahaha, hahaha. So funny.”
“What do you want?” Andre headed to a more secluded place, apprehension clear on his face.
“Come to the address I’ll send you ALONE!. If you play any tricks, you’ll be getting a well-sewn corpse of your friend. I believe you are smart.”
Andre heard the voice chuckle before the line went off again.
Andre exhaled hard. A lot of things raced through his mind.
Suddenly, his phone beeped and he saw it was a new message. Checking it out, he saw an address. It was an abandoned warehouse close to the sea.
He put the phone back in his pocket and composed himself. Then he went back to the ward. He saw his mum having fun with the cooing baby.
“I can’t foresee how many will chase her even before high school.”
“Hehe, she inherited good genes.” replied Flora.
“Ahem… ” he cleared his throat to get their attention.
“Mum, Flora, I have to attend to something urgent. I’ll call when I get back.” he said before giving them a hug each.
He smiled and waved at them before leaving the ward.
Some minutes later, he was riding at breakneck speed on a powered bike on a lonely road.
“Anna, please hold on for me. Please be safe. You have to be okay. You must be, Annie. I won’t let harm come to you. Don’t be afraid, my dear. I’m coming to rescue you. Wait for me!” he thought in his heart and increased his speed.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Not long after Andre had left, Bruce came with the other two sisters and their husbands. Mason also followed behind them with carrying some fruits. He was all smiles as he chatted with someone over the phone.
