**********************************************************
I reached home a slight late because of what went on today.

Pretending to be alright I jogged and cuddled my old man “Hey munchkin how are you?” dad raised a question in a joyous tone and he was smiling showing his biggest smile. Through him, I had been made to the masculine world (After my original father) and a training ground for the altitudes, behaviours and experiences to how to associate with men when I grow up. In many things, my father’s(Vincent Abraham) role in my development is fleet, faint and unsettled. When this thought cloud my eyes and mind, when I consider incomplete, unloved, and unsuitable, I remember whose daughter I’m and I rectify my crown because I’m Veronica Empire.

‘’ Tiago Empire, you old man “I puffed and twirled aside from him.

“Child what’s the issue did dada made you offended? Tell me, Ron? see dada can’t strut his own happiness being yanked away “I couldn’t bear my grin and spun towards him and I recognized that I’m a terrible daughter towards my dad.

“Hey dad I was teasing, why are you being upset,” I asked worriedly and my dad slumped to the ground.

“Uncle Julious JULIOUS please come fast my dad,” I started screaming snuggling my dad.

Julious came storming towards us and carried dad to the car and advanced off to the hospital.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

JULIOUS POV

Ron was peering through the narrow glass opening in the door. Inside the cabin was her dad, remaining latent and pierced with needles all over his supports. He had a shock and has been brought in the ICU.

Seeing her father in that condition forced her remorse, but she always knew her dad as a strong man, who struggled every hurdle in their lives to provide her with a satisfying living. He has been a hero for her and never failed her. She was counting on that he will not fail her this time too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

VERONICA POV

I was praying that my father will not fail me this time too. I didn’t know he would be hurt.

“Miss Veronica Empire? “a male voice spoke behind me.

I turned around and gazed at the physician who was examining my father was beaming.

“Yes that’s me, doctor is my father alright? “I asked, muffling on my accent.

“You can go inside, we will discharge him tomorrow.” then he went elsewhere.

I rushed into the cabin and held his palms and wailed “Dada I’m sorry I won’t trick you again I’m genuinely sorry “I slump down resting on the hospital floor sobbing holding my father’s soft palms.

“Rons baby “I heard my dad sitting up and flashing at me and unexpectedly he drew his hand along with mine and tenderly placed them on his chest still gripping my hands.

‘’ Do you realize that Rons?” he quizzed me seriously, referring to his heartbeat. I responded in return.

“That strikes for a purpose child and that is you. I won’t give up on you my child, you are the gift that God granted me in return of my Sarah. I’m fine Rons it was just a slight concussion don’t bother I just skipped to eat my meal afternoon. Sorry to freak you out,” he cited feeling bad for me.

“Dad, I ‘m truly embarrassed about that prank too. Would you forgive me?” I begged him pleading.

“Solely on one condition. You would have to go to dinner with me to the family diner tomorrow. It’s been a long time child,” he added sighing.

I was delighted about investing time with dada it’s been so long since we had dinner ‘’What ? is it indeed a question, you know dada where there are food and dada, Rons is also there" we giggled at my very lame joke.

Aww I loved this chapter .

Yes I would elaborate father and daughter relation because they are one in kind and I love writing them than writing romantic encounters. Sure I would include romance but new characters are on their way.
