STONE COLD

Chapter 41

"Where are you going". I asked him as he tried to fix his tie,which he failed miserably.

I wonder his he had been tying his tie,ever since.

"To work".he said as he looked at the mirror and frowned, I walked slowly to him and knotted his tie to perfection.

"Thank you love". He pecked me and carries his suitcase.

"Am going to see my son". I said as he turned around to face me.

"Really".

"Yeah,could you come later". I said as he looked at me shocked.

"You want me to see him". He asked cautiously.

"Of course silly". I said playfully.

"You really want me to be there". He asked again.

"Clinton if you don't want to go its....".

"Of course I wanna go,am just speechless,thank you and I'll be there". He said as he kissed my cheeks and hurried out.

"Gaston". I knocked at his apartment door.

"Who is it". He said as he looked through the door hole.

"Oh madam its you".he quickly opened the door to a well modelled room,its was top quality.

"Am impressed this place looks comfortable". I said to him.

"But I thought you said you stayed in a hotel". I asked him.

"Yes Madam,but Mr Clinton said we should stay here for convenience,be also mentioned that we do not tell you". He said shyly, like a spoilt child who had been caught.

"When did you too have that conversation". I asked shocked.

"Em.....well..a week ago Madam,sorry we couldn't tell you,he just wanted to help". He defended.

"He....".

"Madam Katherine". A beautiful lady who I recognised to be Gaston's wife called as she rushed over to meet me.

"Am so glad you're here,please come sit and have tea,I had been exoecteing ever since Gaston said you were coming to New York,oh my God I have domany thing to tell you,plus your sin is so beautiful,he's really pretty,would make a fine man when he grows up,plus he always talks about you,he misses you so much".

"which is why I am going to see him today". I cut in on all her blabbing.

"But you can at least stay for coffee,tea,toast". She offered.

"No thank you,I'll go now,have a nice day Gaston and .....Augustine". U said as she blushed.

"Let me come with you Madam". He offered.

"No no,stay here,stay with your wife". I said to him.

"Although I want to thank you helping me take care of him". I said to the both of them.

"Not a problem". His wife cut in.

I left them and drove to the hospital, maybe I should have let Gaston follow me,I feel like jello,God please help me.

God please help me,you've helped me for so long,this one time please.

"Madam who are you here to see". The receptionist asked.

"Connor,Connor Darlington". I stated as she nod and gave me a file to sign.

"Who are you to him". She asked.

"Am his Aunt". I said as she nod again and led me to him.

"Madam just come in here". She stretched her hands towards the room where am guessing he's staying.

I walk into the room,where a bed laid, and a drip stand,and a child lay on the bed.

"C....C..Connor". I croaked as he turned his head to me and smiled.

He smiled at me.

"Mummy is that you". He said as he smiled.

"Connor love". I said as I rushed to him and hugged him.

"Mummy why are you crying". He said as he cleaned my tears with his thumbs.

"Connor I missed you,I missed you so much". I said as I feat his face with kisses and he gigged.

"I missed you too mummy". He said sweetly.

"You're such a big boy".I said on the verge of more tears.

"You're such a big girl". He said as I giggled.

"Are you his mother". A doctor startled me.

"Yes".I grinned at him.

"Come with me then,you must be Katherine". He said as I nod.

"Your son has a heart condition, he needs a donor,urgently". He said as I nod.

" I understand,do what you must,I'll take care of the bill".i said as he nod his head and I left is office.

"Your son is a strong boy". He assured as he pat my back.

I went back to room,only to fine Clinton squatting and talking to Connor,as soon as I entered their heads snap to me.

"Clinton what are you ". I said but he cut in.

" I was looking for you love".he said as he smiled at me.

"How long have you been here". I asked him.

"Almost an hour,your son's lovely". He said as Connor smiled at him.

"Yeah mum,were gonna be great friends". Connor said to Clinton.

"Connor am leaving now". I whispered to him as he nod.

"I like him".Connor winked at me referring to Clinton as I laugh.

"Bye love".

"Bye Mummy".he pecked my cheeks as I kissed his forehead and left.

"Bye champ".Clinton said to Connor.
