I Hope You Will Never Regret

Bridgette smiled brightly at Mr Martins and said, “Uncle Martins, you don’t have to stay here with us. Also, my mother is coming to keep us company. I promise to call Aunt Rose if something happens.” Uncle Martins was moved by Bridgette’s words and replied, “Bridgette, I am so grateful that you are here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for availing yourself to help us. Since your mother is coming, I will leave when she arrives.” Bridgette smiled and replied, “It’s my pleasure, Uncle Martins. This is nothing, compared to what you have done for me and my family. I will be eternally grateful to the Lord for the Martins family.” Mr Martins was very busy, but he was reluctant to leave Bridgette alone with the baby. Since Bridgette didn’t have any experience of being a nanny. He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Mrs Evans would visit them.

He cancelled all his scheduled meetings, but he couldn’t move the meeting with the Department of Water representatives. He was told that the Minister of Water and Sanitation had flown from Pretoria to meet him. Last week, the Martins Group invited the famous Inspector Langa. He was very strict and diligent in his work. He conducted the final inspection of the largest concrete gravity-arch hybrid dam which was built by the Martins Group. The Martins Group employees were over the moon when Inspector Langa issued a certificate indicating that the dam met acceptable safety standards. The Martins Group CEO, Mr Martins, and Construction Director, Mr Evans had an appointment with the Department of Water representatives to submit the completion certificate and the inspection report at 1 pm.

Elsewhere, Mrs Evans didn’t want to visit baby Avery empty-handed. She waited until the shops opened. She heard from her friends that Sugar Lump had the most beautiful designer baby clothes. She asked her bodyguard, Prince Sam, to accompany her. When the shop opened at 9 am, they were already there waiting. She quickly walked inside with Prince in tow. She couldn’t believe her eyes. The baby clothes were stunning; she wanted to buy the whole shop. She was grinning from ear to ear. She bought tiny skirts, tiny shirts, little dresses and tiny shoes. She bought different sizes of clothes. When they left Sugar Lump, they were carrying a number of bags. They also went to the gift shop and bought foil balloons printed ‘It’s a Girl’. She wanted to buy flowers for Mrs Martins, but she decided against it because she didn’t know her favourite flowers. Prince Sam drove the car to the hospital. When they arrived, he parked the car in the visitors’ parking lot, and then they walked to the hospital.

Mrs Evans was over the moon, people who were with her in the lift thought she was coming to see her grandchild. The old lady who was standing next to her smiled and asked, “Is she your first grandchild?” Mrs Evans smiled brightly and replied, “Yes, she is my first granddaughter. I can’t wait to see her.” The old lady congratulated her. When the lift stopped at the tenth floor, Mrs Evans and her bodyguard walked out of the lift. They walked to Bridgette’s ward; they greeted Clayton with a smile. Clayton recognized Mrs Evans at first glance, and then he allowed them to enter. Mrs Evans greeted Mr Martins and congratulated him. Bridgette was overjoyed to see her mother. She was sitting on the bed feeding the baby her milk.

Mrs Evans looked tenderly at the baby and said, “Mr Martins, your daughter is so beautiful. I understand that you have so much work in the company. Why don’t you leave us with your daughter? I will help Bridgette to take care of baby Avery in these two days.” Mr Martins thanked her and said, “Bridgette, I will bring my son, Aiden, later to visit his baby sister.” Then he walked to the lift and pressed the 12th floor. He wanted to check on his wife if she was alright before he went to the company. Before he knocked on the door, he heard his wife shouting. He entered his wife’s private ward without knocking and said, “Enough.”

His wife looked at him provocatively and said, “August, I don’t want to see this woman in my house.” Her husband looked at Aunt Rose and asked, “What happened, Aunt Rose?” She wiped her tears and replied, “August, I wanted to go and check on Bridgette and baby Avery since she has never been a nanny before. Your wife threatened me that should I help Bridgette with the baby she would fire me. Then she shouted at me, saying that I was ungrateful. She put a roof over my head, but now I am taking your side to bully her by condoning you to bring your mistress in her house. I told her that you are a man of integrity, and you will never do anything to betray her.” He looked at his wife and said, “Why are you fighting with Aunt Rose, Elizabeth?” She looked at her husband and sneered, “August, I told you several times that you are not blood related to Aunt Rose, but you are not listening to me. Please don’t insult my intelligence with stupid questions. I don’t want to see your Aunt Rose in my house.” August’s face darkened and said, “Elizabeth, you are not answering my question. Why are you fighting with Aunt Rose?” Elizabeth ignored him. She turned her back on him and faced the wall. August turned to Aunt Rose and said, “Aunt Rose, please go to Bridgette’s ward to see baby Avery. I will call you when I am leaving.” Aunt Rose nodded her head and left.

Mr Martins sat on the chair beside his wife’s bed and said, “Elizabeth, I love you with all my heart but the only thing I get from you is heartache and pain. You know that Aunt Rose is my mother’s younger sister, but you have never shown any respect towards her. When I was growing up, Aunt Rose treated me as her son. She showered me with loads of love. If her son, Isaac, didn’t die in a car accident with my parents, she wouldn’t be in our house. You even forced her to work for us even though you knew that she was the only relative I have. Also, I told you about the relationship between me and the Evans family when we were dating, but today you are accusing me of cheating on you with Paul Evans’ daughter. Bridgette is like a daughter to me. She dropped everything to help our family, but you don’t care because you hate our daughter. It is clear to me, Elizabeth, that you have never loved me.” Then he took his phone and dialed Aunt Rose number. When it was connected, he told Aunt Rose that he was leaving. He asked her to call one of the helpers to come to the hospital to accompany Elizabeth. He left his wife’s ward without looking back. He had enough!Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Aunt Rose called Butler Bruce to bring one of the helpers to the hospital to accompany Mrs Martins. She didn’t want to go back to Elizabeth’s ward; she decided to stay in Bridgette’s ward. The atmosphere in the ward was lively, they were chatting and laughing. Aunt Rose and Bridgette’s mother, Suzie became friends. She was holding the sleeping baby Avery in her arms, wishing that her sister and her brother-in-law were still alive to see their beautiful granddaughter. She was overwhelmed with joy; she had tears in her eyes.
