Chapter 81 (NOT TO ANY SOUL)

Emily went out of the room, she went to the reception and saw Ron talking with the receptionist. She waved to him and he hurried to her.

“Miss Emily.” He was smiling. “Where’s Harry?” she asked him. “Let’s go,” he said and Emily followed him. “Did you listen to the audio yesterday?” he asked as he took her to where Harry was. “Yes, I was so shocked yesterday. I’m just sorry for Harry. What would become of him when he finds out what that woman is planning for him.” Emily shook her head.

“Seriously, I still can’t believe she would do that. Everyone thinks she’s showing Harry too much love because he’s her last child. I was so shocked when I heard the voice.”

“I couldn’t sleep yesterday,” Emily sighed deeply. “I couldn’t sleep the first day I found out. And to say that she even has twins she abandoned.” He shook his head. “Do you know who the kids are?” Ron asked Emily.

Emily paused, she looked at him and shook her head.

“Do not tell anyone please.” She said and Ron nodded his head. “Promise me first.” She said and he crossed his chest. “I promise I’ll never breath this to any soul.” Emily looked around to make sure no one was on sight.

“It’s Naomi and Michael.” She whispered to him. “Who are they?” he asked “The girl we brought to the hospital yesterday. You’ll see them when we go to the room.”

“Gosh! What are the kids doing here? I thought she took them somewhere else not knowing they are living with us in the house.” He exhaled. “Michael said she brought them to the house because the woman that raised them died.”

“That woman is heartless. How could she think of doing something as terrible as that to the twins.” They went out and saw Harry standing beside the car. Harry has his back turned on them. There was nothing in his arm again and the cast too has been removed.

“It’s been removed.” A smile escaped her lip. “Yes, that’s what brought us to the hospital.” They went to where Harry was standing. He was so lost in thought and didn’t know when they approached him.

Ron stood a little distance from them and Emily tapped his back. He came back to his senses and turned around.

“What’s with your face?” she asked him. His eyes were swollen with eyes bags under them. “Nothing.” He smiled at her. “Are you okay? You don’t look good too.” He touched her face. “It’s because of you.” She rolled her eyes. “I’m sorry okay, your phone is with me. I’ll give it to you when we return home.” Emily’s face lit up and she smiled.

“Happy now?” she nodded her head. “That’s good.” He look at Jeff who was in the carrier. “Hi Jeff.” He wanted to touch his face but he has to put his hand inside which Emily wouldn’t like. He touched his back instead and smiled.

“Your face too. Are you sure you are alright? You don’t sound cheerful like yesterday before I leave your side.” She ran her fingers in his hair. “Don’t tell me you are fine because you don’t look fine. Tell me what’s wrong, I won’t tell anyone.” She smiled at him.

“I… Don’t worry about that.” Harry didn’t want Emily to know he already found out what his Mum has been hiding from him. “You can keep that phone too if you want,” he said. “Really? Alright.”

“Won’t you go in and see Naomi?” she asked him. “Grandma is in there right?” he asked. “Yes, she’s with Naomi and Michael. Let’s go see them.” She turned to Ron who as speaking on the phone and waved to him to follow them.

They went inside the hospital holding hands. Anyone that sees them would think they were already married because Emily was carrying Jeff too. Emily turned the door handle and released Harry’s hand. They didn’t know Grandma and the twins has already seen them holding hands.

“Hi Naomi.” Emily said entering the room. Naomi was taken aback by what she just saw. She already knew Harry and that was the first time Harry would be seeing them. Harry was convinced that Naomi and Michael were the twins Evelyn abandoned. Because he has once seen the picture of when she was a teenager. Naomi resembled her like Clara resembled Evelyn.

He sat down on the sofa close to Grandma. He looked at Michael too and Michael was looking at him. The look in his eyes weren’t as Suffocating as that of Naomi’s.

Naomi stared at him as if she might ran down from the bed and strangled his neck. She just hated Harry for the fact that their Dad died because of him.

Emily and Ron exchanged glances, she was signaling to him that Michael and Naomi were the ones she was talking about. He got the message and nodded his head slightly.

“The atmosphere is so senses, someone should say something,” Grandma said but no one said anything. Harry felt uncomfortable in their midst. He would have left the room long ago if Emily and his Assistant weren’t there.

When he couldn’t take the stare from the twins any longer, he turned to Emily who was playing with her fingers. Her eyes were fixed in what she was doing. He wanted to call her but when he opened his mouth, no words came out. He stood up from the sofa

“Are you going already?” Grandma asked him. “Yes.” Emily lifted up her head when she heard his voice. “Okay, Emily, bring Jeff.” Emily gave Jeff to Grandma and he followed Harry out of the room.

Harry heaved a sigh of relief when they were outside, he squeezed Emily’s hand in his and smiled at her.
