kissing her on her forehead

I will see you later.

Oh honey, before I forget, I will be seeing Amy today

she told me about some customers who want to do some dessert for a party or something like that.

ok, I will head to the site myself when I drop Ava off.

and I have some meetings I will be attending, but I will try to keep to time.

also remember the project i told you about. the one with the CEO of Fangmo.?

oh, you mean the building project,

yeah, that one

so I have a meeting to finalise on that, I will try to make it on time so we can have dinner outside.

ok, that fine by me.

John and Ava left for school while I rushed upstairs to dress.

I decided to wear something simple but classy

since I am meeting these people for the first time.

picked my phone to call Amy.

Hey Amy! I was expecting to meet you for our client meeting to discuss the dessert options for the upcoming party. Are you running late?

Oh, hey! I completely lost track of time. I'm caught up in a meeting at the moment. Can we reschedule our client meeting?

No worries! But we need to finalize the dessert details soon. How about we meet after your current meeting, or should we find another time this week?

I'm tied up for the rest of the day. Tomorrow morning works for me. Can we reconvene then?

Sure, tomorrow morning it is. i just want to make sure I am well-prepared to impress the client with some fantastic dessert ideas.

I trust you, you will always deliver Ana so don't worry everything is going to be perfect. and I am so sorry about today.

No problem at all. Life happens.

ok, and also, don't forget to inform them about the meeting tomorrow. see you then.

If anything comes up, just let me know.

I picked up my bag and decided to head straight to the bakery.

while driving down

my mind went to how I started. I love baking. I can't remember when, for me, it is therapeutic. that is why

I love this place. When I first started, it wasn't easy knowing I did a lot of saving up from all my part timing to get started. not many customers until my crossiant and cinnamon rolls became irresistible to many. Presently, i have more than 15 pastries, which include

1. Croissants

2. Danish pastries

3. Cinnamon rolls

4. Scones

5. Eclairs

7. Fruit turnovers

8. Palmiers (Elephant Ears)

9. Brioche

10. Strudel

11. Cannoli

12. Baklava

13. Muffins (various flavors)

14. Doughnuts

15. Puff pastry twists

I experimented with the blueberry scones, and now I make more than 5 different flavors of it,

which include

chocolate chips, lemon poppy seeds, cranberry orange,cheddar and chives, raspberry almonds, pumpkin spice, and maple pecan.

I remember Amy telling me how much she loves them.

now I am super grateful I took that first step.

oh yeah, we also offer a variety of desserts for all kinds of parties.

yes, Amy is an event planner. Most of my customers are from her, and some others came through reference.

when I got to the bakery, I saw Dalia

talking with someone, I walked up to them. good morning

Good morning, Mrs Johnson,

I walked to my office to get the day started.

while in the office,

received a call from my hubby's office

Hello, this is Cory calling. There's been an accident involving your husband, and he has been taken to the hospital.

Oh my goodness! Is he okay? What happened?

He had an accident at work, and they thought it best to bring him to the hospital. He's receiving medical attention now.

I'm on my way to the hospital. Which one is he at? How serious is it?

He's at fangmo Hospital. The situation is being monitored, and the medical team is taking care of him. Pls come to the hospital to get more details.

Thank you for letting me know. I'll be there as soon as possible. Please keep me updated.

Absolutely. Take your time, and I'll provide any updates I can. Wishing your husband a swift recovery.

I ran with everything in me while running. That was when I realized that I couldn't run like this to the hospital,

I called Alex

Alex pls could you take me to the hospital tossing the keys to him.

he grabs them, and we rush off.

my mind was in chaos while going, I kept praying for it to be a manor thing so we could go home.

I got to the hospital and rushed to meet one of the nurses.

excuse me nurse, please ehn my husband was brought here can you tell me if his ok?

where is he?

how is he?

wait!

one question at a time..

who is your husband?

oh Mr John Johnson

he had an accident in a building site.

oh yes, Mr. Johnson is still in surgery

ma'am pls this way, we need you to sign some papers. Also, there is the doctor who attended to Mr Johnson when he was brought here,

doc excuse me could you brief Mrs Johnson about her husband surgery pls.

ok, right this way pls....

pls ma'am have a seat,

I'm Dr. Smith.

I learnt that your husband had a fall at the construction site.

He has multiple fractures and internal injuries. We've taken him into surgery to address the immediate issues and stabilize him.

is he going to be okay?

It's a critical situation, but we're doing everything we can.

The surgery will help us assess and repair the damage.

We'll keep you updated on his progress.

Can you be more specific?

What injuries does he have?

He has fractures in his right leg and arm, and there's concern about internal bleeding. The surgery aims to repair the fractures, stop the bleeding, and stabilize him. We're being meticulous in addressing each issue.

I walked out of the doctor office, feeling dejected. How did he fall?

my husband is one of the most meticulous people I know,

he hates anything risky gush I can't even think..

I waited outside the operating room...

I'm praying for a miracle. If any existed, it is now I need it.

I don't know how long, but I know that waiting was the most excruciating thing on earth....
