Chapter 179: Chapter 179

Claudia lost a lot of blood but she was fortunate that the bullet didn't hit any of her vital organs. All the bullet was successfully remove from her system.

She is now at one of the VIP ward and her grandfather was right beside her when she open her eyes.

Grandpa, I am sorry" Claudia finally said a word, the young woman had space out for long, after hearing the sad event that happens to her mother, she felt stupid and the caused of all the problem, she wouldn't had let her hatred for Barbara get to this, she just want the young lady to go away from their life, when she finds outs that Barbara is her half-sister, she hated her more.

She was surprised that she is still alive, she was thinking, that was the end of the road for her, she can't believe that fate was still on her side, that she survive that awful ordeal is a miracle.

"Claudia, my granddaughter, you shouldn't think about anything, all we want from you, is to focus on your recovery and come home soon, the entire family is waiting for you"

I know father is really mad at me now, he will have just regrets in his heart, for having a worthless daughter like me...

Shh! He is not mad, he is only disappointed that you have to dance to your mother's tone to hurt your only sister but not to worry, he didn't come because he is not that strong to move around, have you forgotten he did operation

Her grandfather gently hugged her and stroke her head.

You are still my granddaughter, and you will always be one, I hope you take this second opportunity that God had given you to start afresh, get a new beginning and stop thinking of the past, you should used it well. He whisper, those are same words Calvin will say, if he was to be the one there.

Grandpa Jarius know that, deep down in Claudia, she wants to do what is right and she is a good person but Barbara present in her life, is like a threat to her, it's difficult to be in a competition with someone that always win over you

You should rest now, while waiting for the police to come back, not to worry, Barbara is fine, although she lost her mother too.

How about their baby? Claudia asked, she understands that Derrick keep protecting her because she said she is pregnant.

Baby? Barbara is pregnant? Grandpa Jarius is excited, he can't believe he is going to be a great grandfather, Claudia nodded at him.

Oh my God! I am going to be a great grandfather. His excitement is at the peak that he look at Fiona. You shouldn't leave her sight, I really have to see my other granddaughter, I am going to be a great grandfather.

Claudia nodded watching her exciting grandfather rush out his ward, the man is excited.

You should get well soon my lady, I am sure grandpa will be excited to see that you also get him a great grandchild.

Claudia look at Fiona, she remembers the man, she loves had died on the spot while protecting another woman and she is definitely going to jail for been an accessory to the crime.

I am sorry, I was unfair to you, I was been an asshole and too occupied with anger and pride. She apologized with her head down, she doesn't deserve anything nice, she had never treated anyone nicely, she is really an asshole as she said, Fiona held her hand.

You don't have to apologize, you are a nice person, I remember the very first day, I came into the mansion, you gave me, your doll because I was crying nonstop.

Fiona was only ten years when Hazel brought her to be a maid at the Calvin's mansion, she is an orphan, the fault is all from Hazel, who keeps feeding her with evil thought about her sister, Claudia felt bad that she had treated Barbara badly, when she find out all the things Barbara birth mother did to her during her childhood.

Fiona is aware of the bond Claudia and Hazel share, so she is aware that Hazel wouldn't survive it if Claudia was no more, so killing herself was the best option.

****

Meanwhile the couple where surprised to see grandpa Jarius burst into their room, it's a good thing, they had stop their naughty act.

Grandpa Jarius hugged her.

Thank you two for making me a great grandfather. His words takes them unaware. It's a good thing, everyone is save.

Dante turned his gaze to Barbara, she shrugged.

Grandpa how do you find out?

Your sister told me, she is strong now and ready to face the cops now. He hugged Dante this time, he is excited. When are you telling the family, I am sure, your parents also want to hear the good news.

Soon sir Jarius.

Call me grandpa, you are my granddaughter love, so call me grandpa. Dante laughed at the old man's act.

Find grandpa, but you should get some rest, I don't want you to tire yourself out, we will get there, I really want to see Gordon.

Oh! That is true, I heard his father and Lucia are on their way, I hope he wakes up from comatose soon.

He will! He can't leave his sister hanging. Barbara comment, grandpa Jarius caress her hair.

I hope you forgive your sister, you two got just each other, she did wrong, she will be punished but please, don't hold a grudge against her.

Go home grandpa, stop thinking about my relationship with her, you should rest, we can always talk about her some other time in future. Barbara is still not willing to see her especially with the fact that Gordon is still in comatose.

Grandpa Jarius nodded, he had to respect his granddaughter decision for now, hoping in the future, she will open her heart towards Claudia.

Fine, I will go back to Claudia.

No! Go home grandpa. You should stop thinking about that selfish brat... Dante held her.

Grandpa, you should go home to dad, I will asked my friend Noah to be with her, I know you scared that she will do something bad to herself but not to worry, he is a nice man and a professional, I will let him stay with her.

Thanks son. Dante nodded at him, he turned and look at Barbara. You should take care of yourself and the baby.

I will. When grandpa Jarius exit the door, Barbara face is far from anything pleasant, Dante held her hand and move to sit beside Barbara.

Why do you look trouble as soon as grandpa share his thoughts?

Was I supposed to be happy with her and her mother? I lost the woman that was supposed to be my birth mother, although she was nothing close to anything perfect but I really want to hear the reason she hated me from her mouth, I want her to explain my fault, I want her to tell me that, she did all those things because of anger not because she hated me and I am almost lost you, what about Gordon, he is struggling with his life right now. This time, her tears drop, she can't hold it anymore, she cry remembering all her frustration, she can't believe everything is happening because of her

I know you are hurting and you hated her now but you should understand grandpa, he is a father, he can't hate any of his kids. Dante words were short but it's the truth, no parents can turned their back completely on their child even if he is an asshole.
