Chapter 66: Chapter 66

"Why then, did you make me believe that Jimmy is your husband?" I asked Kimberly looking into her eyes.

"Excuse me, I did not make you believe anything you made the assumption, so do not blame me for it," Kimberly replied.

"I did not assume it, I heard Doctor Sam address the both of you as Mr and Mrs Brown," I told her.

"Doctor Sam assumed too, just as you did, what did you think, do you think all men cheat?" She asked with a smack on the corner of her lip, now I regret telling her about Jimmy and Vicky, I even made a video as proof, how silly of me, I thought, putting my hands into my pant pocket, as I do not know what to say in return.

"For your information, Jimmy is my best friend, Vicky's fiancé, they only stayed with me in the hospital because of the love they both have for me and my kids, I bet you can never boast of such friends," She said and nodded her head to me.

"Why did you not tell Doctor Sam that you two are not married? Your friend was there too, why did she not say anything and act like her fiancé was your husband?" I asked a little confused, ignoring her comment even though I know that she may be right, I do have friends, but I do not think I can boast of any of them.

"That is not important to us, petty things like that can only affect rich people like yourself, here, we have trust and love, that is what matters," Kimberly told me, "we are nothing like you overly greedy and self-centered people," she told me.

"Where is your husband then, I mean who is your husband?" I asked looking into her eyes, ignoring her comment again, as that is not important to me right now.

"That is none of your business, Mr Kyle," Kimberly told me instead ignoring my question too, I think you should leave now and do not come here again," she said again pointing at the door too.

I stared at her for a while sensing that she must be hiding something from me, I think now that she is not married or if she is, she is not living with her husband, I will have to find out somehow, I said within me.

"Mummy," Sandra her little daughter called interrupting us as she reappeared into the sitting-room again with Kimberly's cell phone in her hand.

"Sweetie are you through with your call?" Kimberly asked her taking the phone from Sandra's little stretched out arm.

"Yes mum, I have, and uncle Jimmy says he is coming by later when he is through with his work," Sandra told Kimberly in her sweet little charming voice.

"Okay baby, go on into your room," Kimberly told her urging her to go back to the room when Sandra stared at me, I guess she wanted to say something and Kimberly knew that as much as I did.

"Go on, baby," Kimberly told her urging her on, "I will talk to you later okay, after I am finished with our guest, alright," Kimberly told her daughter again but nicely, still urging her on.

"Okay, Mum," Sandra answered, walking back into the room.

"You are divorced, right?" I asked after Sandra walked back into their room, I want to see her reaction to the question.

"Excuse me," she said almost immediately, furrowing her brows at me, I think she is angry because of what I just asked, so that may be it then, she must be divorced from her husband.

"You know what? I want you to leave my house this minute," she told me pointing at the door.

"And what if I do not leave?" I asked, walking closer to her, as I stared into her eyes.

"Please leave this minute, Kyle," she said again, raising her voice at me this time.

"And what will you do if I do not leave your house?" I asked trying to dare her, I do not know what has come over me but I know one thing though, I do not feel like leaving her just yet, I mean, I wish I could stay a little longer.

I wish we had met again in a different circumstance, maybe she will not be having grudges against me as much as I think she does now.

"If you do not live here this minute, Mr Kyle, I am going to call my husband," Kimberly threatened, raising her cell phone so that I can see.

"Go on, you can call your husband, Mrs Kimberly, I would like to see him, this husband of yours, I want to meet him," I told her, "go on, call him," I told her looking into her eyes, I have a feeling that she is lying about having a husband and I think this is the right time to find that out.

"I asked you to leave my house, Mr Kyle, go away from here cause you are not invited to my house, I do not know why you are here," she said, walking backwards as I walked closer and closer to her.

"Leave my house, Mr Kyle," she kept on saying, holding the cell phone up, "or I am going to call my husband," she threatened again, as she keeps moving backwards, her eyes seems like she is pleading with me to leave.

Even though she sounded angry, I can still hear traces of weakness in her voice or perhaps fear.

"I would love to meet your husband, Mrs Kimberly so please go on and call him here, I want to also apologize to him," I told her, looking into her eyes to see If she truly has a husband, she should have called him by now, I said within me and besides he should have been in the hospital with her, I should have seen him at least once, I said within me still, something is not right here, she may either be divorced or her husband is out of town but then again, why would she lead Doctor Sam on to thinking that Jimmy is her husband? I asked within me again, stopping abruptly in front of her and she stopped too as well glaring at me.

Could it be that she lost her husband? I asked again within me.

"Mummy, are you okay?" Sandra's voice came from behind, I turned to look at her and I could see the fright on her face, she must really be scared, what am I doing? I asked with me knowing that I am doing something wrong, I am scaring this little kid and probably Kimberly too.

"Yes Sandra, your mum is alright?" I replied instead, looking from Kimberly to Sandra.

"It is okay, sweetie, go back into the room and close the door behind you," Kimberly told her daughter.

"Mum, Alex and I want you to come and play with us," Sandra said again.

"I am coming sweetie, now go on please," she said again, urging her to go back into the room, Sandra walked back into the room and closed the door behind her, that's when I realised that I am really scaring Kimberly and I have no intention of doing that, I wonder what she might be thinking right now.

"I am sorry, Mrs Kimberly," I told her turning again to face her, I think her face is a little pale now that I look at her closely, she said nothing but stared at me.

"I'm so sorry," I told her again, "I do not mean to do that," I added.

"Okay, I am going to leave now, like I told you before, I only came here to apologize to you and to know how Alex is doing," I told her when she still did not say anything.

"I will come back some other time to check up on you and Alex," I added, walking to the door this time, I am finding it hard to leave her especially like this.

"Please leave, Mr Kyle, and do not come back here again, we are okay, Alex is fine now so you do not need to worry," she told me gathering herself again, "besides, my husband may be around when you come, I do not want trouble, so it is best if you do not come here again," she added.

I stood by the door for a while wishing I never frightened her the way I did, I hope I did not make things worse I said with me, maybe I should go for now and approach her nicely some other time, I will also be careful not to be here when the husband she speak of is at home since it might cause trouble for her, "I will see you some other time, again, I am sorry, Mrs Kimberly, I did not mean it," I told her before walking out of her house again.
