Chapter 67 (NOT A PRANK)

Chapter 67 (NOT A PRANK)

“Come in.” She moved aside and he entered. “Miss Emily, what you did earlier is bad,” he said and she nodded her head. “Yes I know and I feel bad. I thought it was one of your pranks,” she said sadly.

“That wasn’t a prank.” He sighed. “What should I do now? I don’t want him to send me away again.” She said worriedly. “This.” He gave her the bag the doctor gave to him. “Take care of him day and night. By doing that, he won’t send you away,” he explained.

“Do you think he’ll forgive me? I didn’t mean to push him,” Emily sighed. “He would, just do as I said and everything will turn out good,” he smiled at her and she nodded her head.

As Ron turned to leave, he remembered Evelyn and decided to talk about it with Emily. He knew he couldn’t talk about that with Harry or Grandma. Emily would keep his secret and it won’t weigh on his chest again.

“Uhm Miss Emily.” Emily turned around. “I heard what you said,” she said. “No, this isn’t about the Boss. This is about his Mum.” He stepped forward.

Emily was surprised, she wondered what he was going to say about Evelyn. She offered him to sit on the sofa and he did.

“What happened to her?” she asked. “I saw her at the hospital earlier on.” She raised a brow Surprisingly. “At the hospital? But she said she was going for a wedding. Are you sure she was the one you saw?” Emily pretended like she knew nothing.

“She was the one. I saw her best friend and followed her to see what she was doing at the hospital. And then she entered a room, I peeped through the corridor window and saw ma’am Evelyn sitting on the bed. She was on drip too.” He said worriedly.

“Do you think I should inform Mr. Harry?” he asked her. “Why didn’t you tell him at the hospital?” Emily asked him. “I don’t know but I think she won’t take it easy with me if I tell her son she is in the hospital.”

“You did the right thing. You know what? Do not tell Harry about this or his Mum,” Emily said and he nodded his head. “That woman wants to kill herself,” she said out loud forgetting Ron was still there.

“Do you know anything, Miss Emily?” he asked. Emily came back to her senses and wished she hadn’t said that out loud. “You know, your face explains it.”

Emily sat upright and sighed. She lifted up her head and spoke to him in firm of a whisper.

“Please don’t tell anyone about what I’ll tell you now,” she said and he nodded his head. “I promise.” Ron said and she exhaled deeply.

“That woman is pregnant and,” he exclaimed and quickly covered his mouth. “How?” he asked her with eyes wide opened. “I don’t know but I managed to hear that from her friend. She left home in disguise of going for a wedding but truth be told, Ma’am Evelyn went for an MTP.”

“Oh my God! That was it. She went in to surgery because the rooms there are only meant for people that were operated,” he said. “I think something went wrong and that prompted them to go for a surgery.” Emily shook her head.

“You seem to know things about Ma’am Evelyn. What else do you know?” Ron asked her. Emily would have tell him all she knew but she wasn’t that stupid to say it to him that moment. She wanted to observe him first to see if he was trustworthy to keep a secret.

“That’s all I know. Do you know anything?” Emily asked him. “Not much. I know the fact that Harry isn’t her child.” Emily’s jaw dropped, she couldn’t believe Ron knew that too.

“Oh my God!” she exclaimed. “How did you find out?” she asked him. “I heard it from her. One day, she ordered I take her to see a friend and when he reached there, she told me to go out of the car. Unknown to her, my phone was on record in the car. They talked about many things which are so horrible to listen to.” Ron shook his head.

“Things like what?” she asked. “Many things. Your ears are too young to hear it but if you insist, I’ll bring the memory card for you and you’ll listen to it yourself.” He suggested.

“Alright, I’ll be expecting it.” He leapt to his feet. “Don’t forget what I told you to do. Take care of him please, I don’t know but I feel bad for him. I know he hurt you but please forgive him. The shock he would go through if he find out she’s not his Mum.” He moved closer and held her hand.

“Emily, you are the only one that can save Harry from this woman. She doesn’t want him to fall in love because she’s… Harry is in love with you and this time, it’s real. This is the first time he would be falling in love. I’m not forcing you to love him, but please take care of him.” He released her hands and left the room.

Emily exhaled deeply, she sat down on the bed pondering on what Ron said to her. If Harry found out Evelyn isn’t his mum, he would break down but she’s sure it won’t be for long. At least, he was treated kindly and was shown a mother’s love. Not like her, she only knew the love of a father.

“I can do this.” She nodded her head. “I’ll take care of him,” she smiled. She didn’t know why she was smiling happily but she knew it was because of him. She loved him, deep from her heart. And the fact that she was the first person he fell in love with made it special.
