Chapter 34


    Inside the ward.


    ire shook the hazy veil of slumber. feeling a throbbing pain in her left hand


    A nurse was massaging her wrist which was swollen from the needle. The nurse smiled before she pointed to her side.


    You are lucky to have a brother like him, ma’am. He has not left your side ever since we admitted you to this ward.”


    An appreciative smile made its way on ire’s lips as she cast her gaze towards her left. Scott was snoring with his head on the edge of the bed while holding her hand. How badly she wished to stroke his hair.


    “Ah“” ire winced in pain as the nurse applied too much pressure on her hand.


    It jerked Scott awake. He hastily got up and snatched her hand out the nurses hold <b>as </b>he threw spears of indignation at her.


    “What the hell are you trying <b>to </b>do?”


    “Erm. I’m sorry, sir. I was massaging her hand”


    “Till do it. You’re not required here. Get out.”


    ire eyed her brother as he came to the other side and resumed the work the nurse was supposed to do.


    The nurse made her exit as ire motioned her with her eyes to do so, leaving the brother and sister alone


    “Has someone told you how awfully you stink? Had you not been my baby brother, I would have asked them to kick you out.” a faint smile cracked on Scott’s lips


    “Shush, I’m trying to focus” Scott ran his thumb gently over her skin.


    He avoided pressing her skin over the needle. He massaged around it and though ire didn’tment on it, he was doing it better than the nurse.


    “Scottie.” ire called him.


    “I’m listening


    “Go <b>take </b>a bath and shave?” She almost yelled thest part.


    “Do I look that ugly?”


    “More than you can imagine, She chuckled.


    “Okay, first you eat something. Then I’ll go <b>and </b>get changed.”


    “And take some rest too.”


    I’m not…


    “Shush!” She put a finger on her lips while her eyes protruded in fake anger.


    “You are not my elder brother, I’m your elder. <b>You </b>will do as I say. Is that understood?”


    “You’re not in the condition to order me around like an elder!” Scott rolled his


    eyes


    with a sneer.


    Chapter 34


    “Shut up and get out. Don’t show me your face again unless you have shaved and perfumed yourself well.


    Scott sniffed <b>his </b>shirt and made a vomiting face.


    “You’re right. I’ll go take a bath. <b>But </b>first, I’ll feed you.”


    <b>ire </b>sighed <b>as </b>she observed a nurseing in with a trolleyden with mixed fruit sd, orange juice and a bowl of soup.


    Scott sent her on her way as she came ahead to assist his sister to eat. He picked the bowl of soup <b>and </b>fed her. When she was full, he shed a delightful grin and patted her head.


    “Good girl, I’ll be on my way now.”


    “Don’t act like you’re my elder, little Scottie.


    “Okay, grandma<b>.</b>”


    “Scott! Come back here.


    He darted away. Soon as he was gone, Penny showed herself with <b>a </b>smile that reduced ire’s,


    “<b>This </b>is the first time I’ve seen him smile in four days. At least, one of you is genuinely smiling


    ire sighed, lowering her gaze to her hands. Penny sat on the stool and watched her.


    She was amused to see ire so calm. Any woman in her spot would want to twist the room apart if she lost her baby


    “Say it, She broke off in a hard voice.


    “I’m sure you have a pretty strong reason to push yourself to the point that you miscarried your baby you promised me you’ll protect at all cost, and let no harme to him. Say it, ire. I really want to know,”


    Penelope sat on the edge of the stool, her body half leaning towards her friend. Her desperate eyes set affixed on her drained face as she tried not to hiss in irritation.


    “I’m waiting, ire!” She demanded.


    ire took <b>a </b>shallow breath as she locked eyes with her friend. He got married to her.”


    Penny was stumped but she didn’t let it reflect on her face.


    “And”


    got married, Penny!” ire offered with a disbelieving tone. “His n was to make that bitch his wife after he stripped me off that title.”


    Tears emerged in ire’s eyes, “Right after we acquired our <b>divorce </b>certificate, I was revealed to that information by that sl’t. He didn’t even try to exin anything to me, Penny. He didn’t even bat ash.”


    “She demanded my wedding ring for her marriage and he watched everything silently as if it was nothing big. He didn’t care how it would affect me.”


    “I know he didn’t love me but I was crazy about him. He knew that, didn’t he? No one can feel the pain I felt when Zara told me about their marriage n. It was like a shock. Like someone shoved a barbed weapon through my chest, rolled it, and yanked my heart out with it, While I was still hoping for him to somehow learn about my pregnancy and stop the divorce, he was altogether nning to get married to her.”


    “It’s more hurtful than you see. The father of my child could not contain his desperation to marry his first love. It was like he <b>was </b>dying to get rid of me <b>so </b>he could be with her. That broke me. Penny. I loved him so much, and yet he decided to
