The threat of a trial and complications gave me a headache. I wasn’t in the position to spend my time in legal proceedings when my daughter was admitted to the hospital.
So, I folded the paper and stuffed it into the envelope, raising my head.
“Your lawyers have given you the right advice. But I think we should resolve our matters outside the court.
I will consult my lawyer, then we can have a meeting after Jane’s discharge from the hospital.”
Felix’s eyes lit up with glee, he immediately expressed his excitement for this agreement.
“You are right, Drielle. We can solve every matter together.”
Although talking to Felix on a daily basis was like drinking a gallon of neat rum, I had to do it for my peace. I couldn’t deny the fact that Felix had a right to be with Jane just like me.
Later on, whenever Felix got time, he came to visit Jane, asserting his parental rights. But I just stayed silent and focused only on my little girl’s recovery.
The days passed with turtle speed, and if it wasn’t for Bright’s continuous support, I couldn’t make it through this rough patch. He protected me from every inconvenience, helping me out.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration if I said that he was my person!
After an agonizing wait of fifteen days, Jane finally got her fitness certificate from the doctors. My hands were trembling while signing the discharge papers.
“Jane is a brave girl, Miss Drielle. She fought against her fears and diseases, leaving them behind victoriously.
She is such a gem!”
The team of doctors praised her for her strength despite young age and presented her with a fluffy teddy bear. Jane spoke innocently.
“You all are so kind and sweet. But I don’t want to come here again. I hate needles.”
We all laughed at her cute complaint and left for home. I was soaring high in the sky on our way back.
“Mommy, can I eat pasta now? The hospital’s food was a nightmare!”
Jane was fed up with tasteless but healthy soups and porridge, so I promised her.
“You can eat whatever you want now, my little girl. The doctors haven’t restricted your food intake.”
Chatting happily, I was planning to prepare a feast for Jane when my cell phone buzzed. I clicked the notification of

a new text message.
“Congratulations, Drielle. Jane is fine, now we can tell her about her real father.”
Bloody hell!
That desperate man was none other than Felix, who didn’t let me enjoy this blissful moment and voiced his agenda.
“As Jane is discharged from the hospital, I will come over there after lunch for a family meeting. We can easily
break the news to her TOGETHER!”
I told him about Felix’s recent demand and asked for a solution, Bright advised me.
