Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Adrian was so confused with her behavior. 

Meanwhile, Emily opened her eyes, hearing his voice, and asked him in a sleepy voice " Who called you in the morning! "

Katherine heard her words who was still on the call and said in a low voice" Sorry, Mr. Wilson. I didn't mean to disturb you. Have a nice day" 

She disconnected the call holding the tears not to flow from her eyes. She doesn't understand why God is testing her again and again. All these years, she built herself strong for her son. She closed her heart, her feelings for Adrian. But she never imagined that she would have to face Adrian with another woman with her eyes. She felt like thousands of needles were pricking her heart at once. During their relationship, she never allowed any girl to lay eyes on him. She used to be over-possessive about him just like him.

…..

….

She came back to reality when the small palms wiping her tears.

" Mommy...what happened, why are you having water in your eyes?" Little Sam asked her, looking innocently.

" Did anyone say anything to you?" He asked with a gloomy face.

" Nothing. Just my eyes are itching because I used to work on a laptop every day" she lied to him, plastering a small smile on her lips.

" I thought someone hurt you…" he said and hugged her, keeping his hand on her stomach.

" I too have been observing you for a few days, you are looking tired and calm. Anything wrong?" Ruby questioned her.

" Nothing. It's new for me to assist a CEO and explain every detail as he is new to the company" she lied to Ruby.

" But I am enjoying my job working with my handsome CEO. I could learn so much from him" Ruby said dreamily.

" So you think, your CEO is handsome!! Huh?" Katherine teased her.

" Not only handsome but very polite to all the employees. " Ruby replied.

" And what about your new CEO? Is he hot and handsome?" Ruby asked Katherine curiously while applying lip gloss to her lips.

" I am not interested" Katherine stood up and walked past her.

….

" Come, Sam...you are getting late to school." He took Sam in her arms and walked to the bathroom.

She bathed Sam quietly and made him ready for his school. She started talking less to everyone at home as all the time, Adrian's thoughts were running in her mind. Meanwhile, Ruby prepared breakfast for all. 

Katherine and Ruby arranged the breakfast then Katherine informed Martin and Sam to come to eat. Suddenly, they heard the sound of metal clicking against the floor. Both Kathie and Ruby turned their heads in that direction. They noticed Martin slowly walking by himself. 

" Wow...Uncle Martin is walking by himself. He will play with me in our garden very soon…" little Sam jumped excitedly.

" Hope so... little champ," Martin said, walking near to him.

" I am so happy to see you walking. I cannot express it in words." Katherine expressed.

" Me too…" Ruby said with almost tears in her eyes.

" If you were not there for us. We never live peacefully. We should be thankful for your sacrifice" Ruby said.

" Stop it. We are one family. Don't talk like that again" Martin warned her. Instantly Ruby hugged him tight and started crying.

" Shh ….Ruby. Don't cry like a small kid. Now you are a working woman" he said, caressing her hair.

" Oh my god! I am getting to my office" she exclaimed, coming out of his arms. She left home hurriedly, taking an apple from the dining table.

" Still she behaves like a small kid, sometimes," said Katherine with a small smile.

" I took leave for my work. I think it's better if we consult a doctor for a visit. We have to inform you of the improvement of your leg" Katherine said, looking at Martin.

" Okay. If you say so…" Martin agreed.

After having breakfast, she dropped Little Sam at preschool and returned home. They both left for the hospital hiring a cab.

She supported Martin to walk as he was walking with crutches. She asked him to sit in one of the metallic chairs in the corridors so that she could enquire about the doctor as they came to the hospital without an appointment. 

" May I take an appointment for him from Doctor Luther?" Katherine asked the receptionist. 

" Yes madam" the receptionist replied and noted the patient's name and sent them to the doctor's cabin.

 They both walked into the doctor's cabin. Dr. Luther examined his leg and felt content with the improvement in his leg.

" In how many days, could he walk normally?" Katherine asked the doctor as she could not stop herself.

The doctor sighed and said, " If you start the treatment, he can walk in one month. But…"

" But...what doctor?" Katherine asked anxiously.

" I am not going to give him treatment as I am shifting to another city," the doctor said with guilt.

" Please...can you come here to treat him weekly once at least. " Katherine begged him with a small hope as he was treating from the beginning.

" No child, I can't come. My wife is suffering from cancer. I want to be with her" he said.

" But...I can help you." The doctor said, giving hope to Katherine and Martin.

" I know a young doctor who recently came to this city. His name is Dr. Thomas. He is also my friend's son. Maybe he will give treatment to Martin '' he informed and dialed that doctor in front of them.

After talking with the doctor over the phone for a few minutes, Dr. Luther convinced him to give treatment for Martin. 

" Better you both go to his hospital. He will be available up to lunch break. And it is near to this place, ``the doctor suggested to them. 

Then he handed Katherine his visiting card so that they would get a quick appointment. Katherine thanked Dr. Luther came out of his cabin along with Martin.

" Now, I can walk with help.. I am fine now" Martin said.
