Chapter 17 - CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Please have your seats, "Doctor Walter ushered Mr Butterscotch and Michael to sit as they entered into his office".

Thank you Doctor, so how is my daughter's health now? "Mr Gbenga asked".

Hmm, Thank God she's okay now but she'll need to be on bed rest for at least two weeks before she could resume any activity for her to recover quickly ahead of her wedding, Sir as your family doctor of so many years now I would advise you to not allow what happened today to ever happen again, she's in a very delicate state and she shouldn't be involved in any strenuous activity or anything that could cause shock as she's close to her due date please. "Doctor Walter advised".

Thank you so much doctor, it will never happen again, there's no way this would happen, we will definitely heed to your advice. "Mr Gbenga replied ".

Mr Micheal please I want you to take care of your wife at this stage and be her strong pillar, don't ever leave her side and make her stress herself, as far as am concerned she shouldn't lift even a plate after eating, we don't want her blood pressure to rise too much like today ever again as it is dangerous to both mother and child. "Doctor Walter added".

Yes sir, I will do everything in my best possible to refrain her from all your advised sir, thank you doctor. "They shook hands and left the doctor's office ".

********************

In the vip parking lot of the hospital Mr Gbenga Butterscotch called Micheal to his car to have a discussion with him.

Michael I think you know I don't see you as my son-in-law but as my son, what transpired today at the introduction gathering was surprising and embarrassing not to my reputation alone but to your parents. What could you have done to my wife for her to react in that manner, I have never seen her in that personality before and it really surprised me. What do you think could be the problem? You see ever since we've had our children we've never discriminated them from any other child from any class background, we do not care about connecting our kids for business sake. So the reason my dear wife is disapproving is what I am not sure of. Did you ever offend her in the past? "Mr Gbenga questioned ".

Sir, thank you for loving a small boy like me and accepting me into your family. What happened today is beyond my knowledge and I do not understand why Mummy could have been against our relationship, I am equally confused and concerned about what my future holds with Tosin. "Michael sobs".

You don't have to cry Michael, it will be settled amicably because there's nothing we can do when the girl in question is already pregnant and she's so much in love with you, what will I tell the high profile people I have invited to my daughter's wedding. "He heaved before continuing".

My wife just got back from a journey that lasted two years that not even I saw her for that period of time, so she could be mentally stressed or maybe she took you for someone else. Regardless of everything she said the wedding is going to hold, so don't be bothered about it, we will resolve everything and inform your parents. For now as the doctor has advised take good care of Tosin as she needs your support at this time. "Mr Gbenga assured him".

Thank you sir, I will do my best, "as he was talking to Mr Gbenga he was scared he could ask him questions about the uproar".

Just be a good boy as you've always been my son, don't change. Please beg your parents on my behalf and tell them the wedding will hold on the day we fixed, there's nothing stopping the ceremony "He assured him". You can go and look after your wife as I have to go home with my chauffeur now to prepare for a meeting I have tomorrow morning.

Ok sir, thank you so much daddy. "He got down from the car and heaved a sign of relief". Mr Gbenga Butterscotch driver drove out of the parking lot.

God, please don't let this happen to me now. But why is this just happening, it's true you can't eat your cake and have it. Why is this woman like this now, is she willing to leak the secret out to the whole world, haaa I am doomed, how do I face Tosin? What will i tell her transpired between me and her mother? How will I face my parents, will I tell them I have once had a fling with my mother-in-law? My life is finally crumbling while I am still alive. Maybe I should just run away, far from where anyone knows me till everything dies down? But where will I run to, will I leave my first child and be a coward father? Will I just leave Tosin without any tangible reason, but how do I even open my mouth and tell her such. God why did I do this to myself . "He slide into the floor of the parking lot as he broke down in tears". I have ruined myself with my past.
