Chapter 144: Chapter 144

She finally stop running, when she noticed no one was following her, she held her heart.

Can you stop! She scolded her stupid heart that keeps Fluttering because of Dante's words, she blushed badly, remembering his words.

"I love you"

She facepalm herself, as she grin from ear to ear, she really don't understand what she is feeling, she is acting weird, she raised her head up, then titter like a mad woman.

Barbara stop acting crazy? She try to be calm but no way, her stupidity is getting the better part of her, she raised her hand and touch her lips, Dante face pop up, she blushed badly as she remembers how his lips touches her.

Nurses passing bye, couldn't help but notice that the young lady was acting weird, she is going crazy, Dante had set fire in her heart.

The ring on her phone brought her to reality.

Grandpa! I am sure is at the hospital already. She run like a teenager in love, she was panting as she finally put the door of the ward.

You brat, where have you been. Grandpa Jarius asked, she looks at him. Don't you know how to talk?

Sorry grandpa, I was at the hallway.

Your husband was here earlier, he said you should eat that, that he will here here to pick you later.

What?

Yes, so go on and eat, you don't want your dad to think, he doesn't look after you. Barbara blushed badly, she sit on the couch, as she takes each spoon, she could see Dante's face.

Barbara

Stop it Li Jun.

Li Jun? She closed her eyes, hearing grandpa Jarius, she just refer her grandfather to Dante, she slapped herself.

Barbara, you going crazy. Calvin is surprise to see his daughter actions, as soon as he opened his eyes.

Barbara!

Oh no! Why is everyone voice sounding like him? She cry softly.

Are you alright?

Yes, I am fine. She grabbed the food from the table, trying to get out.

Are you going to look for your husband?

Grandpa stop! She hurry out, grandpa Jarius laughed heartily, he look at his son, who just chuckled, but felt pain in his stitches, the effect of the painkiller, is weary away slowly.

*****

Are you alright?

I am fine, don't take my actions to heart, I will recover really fast.

I see, you are more excited to recover, in other to tease the young woman? Grandpa Jarius move the glass of water to him.

Thank you! I am just happy that I have second chance.

Yes, what are you going to do with it now? Calvin look at grandpa Jarius. Come on son, during surgery, I pray you survive and be in good health, cause I can't tell your family about it, I can't do anything on your absence, the little girl is grown, she is already married, all thanks to you and you could see she is really into that young man, which means, it won't take time before, she start raising a family of her own and now, Gordon had told her about his relationship with her, when everything dies off and life turn normal, she will definitely go back for answer and I know you wouldn't want him to tell her about you.

Calvin gasped for air, he was quiet for sometime, then he look at his father.

I will tell her everything, everything that she needs to know, that will make her more careful and be able to protect herself, I heard Hazel earlier saying so many security men are around the hospital.

Yes, Gordon told me that an attempt was made on Barbara's life, it's a good thing, Dante was there to save her, he was fast, if not, it would had been a different ball game.

I can't believe I put my daughter's life in danger.

That is not an issue now, the deed had already been done, there is always room for retribution, you should do what is right.

Thank you father.

It's nothing. Calvin gave him a weak smile, he look at him. Don't worry about the company, Hazel didn't tell them, you have an operation, is like she is aware that Barbara will take over from you, since she is married and I have given my shares to her, so she have the highest shares in the company and the money stolen from the company, I am sure the culprit will be brought to book soon.

Have you be able to speak to Gordon about Camille?

Right now, she is still in jail, it only means one thing, that she had someone else operating with her face.

What?

Yes, according to Gordon, is like apart from you, me, Gordon and Dante, someone else knows about it and they are after Barbara's life.

Holy shit!

Relax, everything will be fine, instead of worrying about your predicament, let's get that brat of yours to amused us with her daydreaming of her husband.

Calvin chuckled again, grandpa Jarius place a call back to Barbara, she hurry back, she is a bit compose.

Grandpa, dad do you need anything? He pout to her Grandpa, she returns her gaze to her grandfather.

Your father in law call, he said he is organizing a little party for you and Dante.

Why? Barbara asked.

Don't you love him? Grandpa Jarius asked, Barbara mind wondered to Dante's words "I love you" she blushed, she is smiling sheepishly again, Grandpa Jarius wink at Calvin, he chuckled since he can't laughed heartily, the old man can't hold himself anymore, he laughed, the sound of his laughter made Barbara come out of her daydreaming. I think you should go home and rest.

No! I don't want to face him now, he is going to asked...

Asked you what?

Why do I feel you are teasing me?

It's nothing, I am just curious about my granddaughter love life.

Here grandpa, vitamins, it's good for the body, so take it.

Why? I thought your dad is the sick one, why are you treating me like I am the sick one?

Go on and drink, stop questioning me.

Is Dante coming to pick you.

Should I add another vitamins for you? Grandpa Jarius raised his hand up, Barbara gasped for air, just when she was about to breath, her phone ring, she had forgotten totally about Jeffery, she stand very fast, the caller is Jeffrey.

Hello Jeff!

Is not Jeff, I am calling from the bar, he is dead drunk here and out of his mind, he keeps calling out your name, so I decided to call you to come pick him up, let me know if you will pick him up or I should just informed someone else or probably you know any of his closed family, that you can reach to pick him.

Don't worry, I will be on my way.

I will wait. The line die off, Barbara look at the two men, that is looking at her. I will be right back.

Don't go to him alone, you should call Dante.

No way, I will rather have Jayden go with me than that insolent man... She paused then grimace. I mean my husband, bye dad. She peck her father and grandfather and rush out.
