I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

3rd POV.

“Take her to the hospital she often goes to … . I will join you there….. Request for a new doctor as well..” Nathaniel spoke to the family driver before hanging up. A gut feeling told him it was nothing serious but he still felt the need to show up for her and ascertain that there was nothing.

“Sir, you are headed out?” Lisa inquired walking into the office with a cup of coffee. He hummed in response putting on his black suit with a tired look on his face.

“Alright, sir. Hope everything is okay? You still have a dinner meeting with a few investors…” She trailed off reminding him and he sighed deeply, halting in his steps giving it a thought.

“Have the CFO head there before I arrive. Inform him how important these investors are.” He said and Lisa nodded, taking notes.

Without uttering another word, he dashed out exiting out of the building at large when he hopped out of the elevator arriving at the ground floor. His driver instantly roared up the vehicle as soon as he saw Nathaniel, while the security men opened the car door for him. His security team hopped into his Black jeep following closing him, as he realized how important his safety is especially with how his business continues to grow and the media continued to publicize his every move.

He gave a head nod as a form of appreciation, glancing at the extravagant watch on his wrist, he kissed his teeth realizing it was already 6pm and the meeting at 8 with a few foreign investors was extremely important.

“Let’s get this done in a heartbeat.” He said to himself.

With little traffic, they finally arrived at the hospital in about thirty minutes which was too long in his opinion. He was already aware of the room and floor she was on, so he headed straight there. The staff and patients in the hallway stared at him as his aura and each step screamed the arrival of a powerful man especially with the tough looking guards following behind him.

As soon as he arrived at her floor, he caught a glimpse of Rachel texting angrily on her phone while pacing back and forth in front of Jenny’s room. When he arrived in front of her, he realized she was fighting back tears and instant worry consumed him.

“Hey, you good?” It was then Rachel realized he had arrived. She instantly wiped the single tear that had rolled down her cheek.

“Why do you care? Don’t bother me and just focus on why you’re here.” She said rudely, walking away. Nathaniel was thrown off by her tone, he was genuinely worried about her. And though they were not close because of his mother, he always made sure she was okay and satisfied.

“Nathaniel, son!” His mother called out his name excitedly standing up from the soft couch she was seated on in the VIP room of the hospital.

“Good evening.” He greeted her coldly and she simply embraced him. This was the first time they had seen each other since after Lydia’s arrest.

After a minute, Nathaniel had still failed to hug her back and she instantly stepped back. He strolled towards Jenny who hastily hid the magazine she was reading under her pillow and pretended to be asleep.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Is she okay? What did Doctors say is wrong with her?” Nathaniel inquired his mother who stared at him then Jenny, before shrugging.

“I have also been waiting for the doctors to return with the test results.” His mum said and Nathaniel impatiently looked at his watch.

As if planned, the doctor walked into the room with a nurse behind him. Nathaniel’s face turned into a scowl when he saw it was the same doctor and regular nurse who had been treating her from the beginning.

“Good evening Mr King.” They both greeted in unison but Nathaniel ignored them, diverting his gaze to his mother who was just staring at Jenny with an unreadable expression.

“Had I not informed the driver and housekeeper to request for a new doctor?” Nathaniel asked with frustration laced in his tone.

“Jenny wanted her regular doctor according to what I was informed. Why do you keep interrogating me by the way? Interrogate the people you had called on, like I wasn’t also present in the house and had no idea what was going on.” Mrs King snapped and Nathaniel kissed his teeth sharply.

“You know what? I’m goin-”

“Nathaniel.” Jenny’s weak voice called his name and Nathaniel who was about to go off on everybody stopped and turned towards her.

“How are you feeling Jenny?” Mrs King and the doctor smiled slyly at each other and the doctor gave Mrs King a polite bow.

She was about to speak but cleared her throat, so Nathaniel poured her a tall glass of water and handed it to her. She downed it until it was half of the cup before speaking.

“I’m scared Nathaniel. I’m scared my illness is back, I don’t want to have to bother anyone for blood or attention. Nathaniel.” Jenny broke into tears and moved closer to Nathaniel resting on his chest. He exhaled, patting her back softly.

“It’s okay, stop crying.” He wasn’t even in the mood to pet or assure anybody after his good mood had zeroed to nothing after his interaction with Lydia earlier.

After patting her back for a few minutes, a thought crossed his mind and he truly believed it would be the best. Relieving him of stress, ensuring Jenny gets the best treatment and basically ensuring Jenny gets totally healed.

“Doc.” He called out and the doctor instantly took a step closer to him, everybody in the room fell silent waiting patiently for the next words that would come out of his mouth.

“I need you to check for the best hospitals abroad that treat Jenny’s illness. Send in the details to my email along with the best caretakers and apartments nearby.” Jenny’s eyes went wide and everybody including Mrs King was stunned.

“Nathaniel, you’re planning on shipping her off?” Mrs King folded her arms across her looking at him in disbelief.

He arose from the edge of Jenny’s bed glancing at his watch again, realizing it was a minute after 7. He buttoned his suit and looked from his mother to Jenny and to the staff.

“It’s all to ensure Jenny never has to worry about her illness returning back. Let’s just take it as getting a second opinion, and it’s not shipping her off, mother. You can go with her.” He shrugged nonchalantly and Jenny was so baffled, she couldn’t speak.
