Chapter 112: Chapter 112

Chapter 112 The threat of a trial and complications gave me a headache. I wasn’t in the position to spend my time in legal proceedings when my daughter was admitted to the hospital.

So, 1 folded the paper and stuffed it into the envelope, raising my head.

“Your lawyers have given you the right advice. But I think we should resolve our matters outside the court.

I will consult my lawyer, then we can have a meeting after Jane’s discharge from the hospital.”

Leo’s eyes lit up with glee, he immediately expressed his excitement for this agreement.

“You are right, Laura. We can solve every matter together.”

Although talking to Leo on a daily basis was like drinking a gallon of neat rum, I had to do it for my peace. I couldn’t deny the fact that Leo had a right to be with Jane just like me.

Later on, whenever Leo got time, he came to visit Jane, asserting his parental rights. But I just stayed silent and focused only on my little girl’s recovery.

The days passed with turtle speed, and if it wasn’t for Bright’s continuous support, I couldn’t make it through this rough patch. He protected me from every inconvenience, helping me out.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration if I said that he was my person!

After an agonizing wait of fifteen days, Jane finally got her fitness certificate from the doctors. My hands were trembling while signing the discharge papers.

“Jane is a brave girl, Miss Laura. She fought against her fears and diseases, leaving them behind victoriously.

She is such a gem!”

Chapter 112:

The team of doctors praised her for her strength despite young age and presented her with fluffy teddy bear. Jane spoke innocently.

“You all are so kind and sweet. But I don’t want to come here again. I hate needles.”

We all laughed at her cute complaint and left for home. I was soaring high in the sky on our way back.

“Mommy, can I eat pasta now? The hospital’s food was a nightmare!”

Jane was fed up with tasteless but healthy soups and porridge, so I promised her.

“You can eat whatever you want now, my little girl. The doctors haven’t restricted your food intake.”

Chatting happily, I was planning to prepare a feast for Jane when my cell phone buzzed. I clicked the notification of a new text message.

“Congratulations, Laura: Jane is fine, now we can tell her about her real father.”

Bloody hell!

That desperate man was none other than Leo, who didn’t let me enjoy this blissful moment and voiced his agenda.

“As Jane is discharged from the hospital, I will come over there after lunch for a family meeting. We can easily break the news to her TOGETHER!”

E PO That word in all caps hinted towards his inner elation, making me fearful for his schemes. Only God knew what he had in store for us now!

I reached home and started preparations for lunch, thinking of precautionary measures. This moment of truth was inevitable, I couldn’t close my eyes like a pigeon in front of a cat.

My mind was stuck in this puzzle, looking for a way out. However, my daughter was smarter than me. She used my cell phone to call Bright.

“Daddy, I am home. Can you please come for lunch?”

Yes!

Chapter 112 Bright!

1 seized this golden chance and chimed in. “Please, Bright. Join us at lunch. We need to talk to you...”

My serious tone alerted Bright, he left all his work and came to my Vila. As Jane was with us, he tried to be discreet and texted me.

“What’s the matter, Laura? You sounded worried on the phone.”

Bright’s attention to the details never failed to impress me, I was lucky to have a man who could differentiate between serious and worried tones.

I told him about Leo’s recent demand and asked for a solution, Bright advised me.

“There is no doubt that Jane will be upset to hear this news, but we can minimize the damage.

It’s better if you tell her yourself, Laura. Jane loves you. It will be easy for her to process this shock.”

After giving this thought fair consideration, I concluded that talking to Jane without Leo was a safer option. No one could predict how she would react to this revelation.

And Leo, he would only create trouble for me, expecting any good for him was really idiotic. Bright confirmed from the doctors that Leo was still signing his discharge papers in the hospital after our lunch, so we sat with Jane in the living room for this difficult task.

“Please don’t be angry, my little girl. Mommy wants to tell you about her mistake.”

Clearing my throat, I initiated the conversation formally.

“Just like kids, adults can also make mistakes. Can you tell me what one should do after committing a mistake, Jane?”

Jane hugged her fluffy teddy bear and spoke gently, “She should apologize for her mistake, mommy. That’s how she can make up for her wrongdoing.”

Chapter 112 “Good girl!”

I kissed Jane’s check and gathered every speck of my courage to let the cat out of the bag.

“Jane, mommy was wrong when she told you that Uncle Bright is your daddy.

The truth is that Uncle Leo, Zoe’s dad, is your real father...”
