The Billionaire's heart (The Billionaire Love #3 )

Chapter 21

An old Foe

I looked at her as she checked on my niece. After a long rest yesterday, I am feeling fine now. For me it is just the great news, my sister finally woke up. But it is not the same with her girl. She still is too weak and she is not responding very well to treatment.

 I just wish for her to get well soon. "She is stable, not very much changed from her previous condition though. I am sorry Sam" I held her hand "It's ok Iris, I know you are doing everything you can." "Thank you, I just want this little one to be alright" She whispered. I can hear how much she is upset over this.

Ezra looked at me and nodded. "I think we should leave and visit my sister what do you say iris?" I asked. "Ok, if you insist." She looked down. I know Iris always have loved children and not able to help one is making her spirit crumble. 

And it is my duty to see that she doesn't gets disappointed by all this. Right now, all she needs is to believe in herself and in me. She has to know that it is not her fault and maybe my sister can lift up her spirits.

I walked in and my sister smiled weakly at me. "How is she doing today?" I asked the attending doctor. "She is out of danger Sir; you can take her home today if you like to." That's one good news I have heard today at least. "How is she? April?" My sister decided to name her girl. She named her April Venessa Olyphant. A sweet and beautiful name just like the little one herself.

Lucian was looking at her with utter disappointment. He was the one who agreed to watch over her and April a little while when Ezra can't but I have a feeling he spent every night in here whether anyone notices or not. It was his way of showing how much he loves her still. Some people are meant to be lonely. I too thought that for myself until Iris.

"Sam." My sister called." I walked up to her and hugged her. "How are you feeling?" I asked. "Sad and depressed. How else I can feel if I knew my little one is not doing good?" Fair point, no one want to see their children suffering. "But I am still happy that you find someone to rely on brother, you deserve to be happy. After all you have been through." I kissed her forehead. "April will be alright; she is after all your daughter." She told me.

I moved back and she looked at Iris who still wasn't smiling much. "iris, "Rosa called. Iris looked at her and then down again. "it is not your fault; you are trying your best to help April. I know what you are feeling responsible for what happened but I assure you, you are not the one responsible." Iris shied.

"Brother, I have a favour to ask you," She told me. "What is it hermana? "I asked. "There is this fundraiser we were supposed to attained but since I cannot maybe you and Iris can. It is a cause close to my heart wont you do it?" She asked.

"Yes, I will Sister. But I don't know about Miss Morgan." I told her truthfully. "Iris, please just keep this wish, for once don't let my brother attained alone, he become sore and cranky." I laughed. That is not true but something tells me Iris believes over every word my sister telling her. And that is kind of scary. 

My sister is kind of manipulative. Or maybe she just became this way after Ezra came into her life. "Ok, Rosa I will do this for you this once" Why for her? Why not for me? Forget it as long as she gets along with me, I am alright. I am fine.

"Thank you, Iris, I am grateful that you agreed to do this and thank you for making my brother smile again. I was worried about him. But now, I am al right." She told her. Sure, those two will get along just fine on their own. I looked at Lucian and he gestured me to come outside. I saw Ezra too leaving. Something is up and I don't think this is something I am going to like.

We walked into my cabin where both of them were waiting for me. I locked the door and walked towards my window. "What is it Lucian?" I asked. "I have traced the whereabouts of your father. I think he is not moping about his defeat. And right now, he is planning something, something very bad." Isn't he always?
