Chapter fourty nine

Kendall's pov

I am very much relieved now that Matteo's condition is getting better. The medicines are working, and he is becoming more lively. God please have mercy upon me and my son, how much I love this boy and how attached to him, if you take him better be taking me along as well.

If you exist, then you have to make sure my son is back to health forever. First you deprived me the opportunity to have babies on my own, then you showed me a glimmer of hope by guiding me towards adoption, and now you are trying to take my son from me?. What sin did I commit to deserve such punishment.

I carried Matteo in my arms, he was sleeping, my phone started ringing and I kept Matteo aside to pick up the call. It was sky, I picked up and her bubbly face came to view.

" Hey girlie" she screamed upon seeing me. We aren't girls anymore, we are now women, but she never changes her habit, she says life is too short to keep worrying about your age and not enjoy your life.

" Hlo sky, how are you" I answered a little tired. I haven't been sleeping properly out of worry for Matteo and Joseph would just sit with me in silence.

" What's up, you sound tired" she noted the obvious.

" Yep, what's up with you" I asked, there must be something for her to call me this early.

" Well even thou you are tired, am going ahead to tell you. I am opening my new art gallery this week, isn't it great news. Infact I got so many investors ready to invest in my art. I even bought a new house and a car" she said jumping with excitement.

" Wow sky, that's amazing news, I wish I was there, we would have partied" I said, we always liked partying on any news.

" Yeah I thought so, but since you aren't here I decided to tell you the news over the phone. I took the kids out to party today, can you make it next week for the opening ceremony" she asked with anticipation.

" Am not sure sky, Matteo is very sick, we are currently under treatment and if his condition doesn't improve, even thou now he is getting better, he might have to undergo an operation" I explained feeling a bit guilty.

" Oh my dear, am so sorry, I didn't know. How is he now, I hope he is getting better" she asked her expression that of concern. She is a mother after all so she very well knows my pain.

" Yes, he is getting better now" I replied yawning. " Oh dear, you should get some rest, you look very tired" sky said. " No prob sky, sorry, thanks and congratulations in advance" I said with a smile.

" Byeee" she said and hung off. I heard the screeching sound of car parking. It must be either Steven or Joseph, Steven hadn't returned home last night, maybe he was held up at work, and uncle had gone out to play golf, he usually comes back around 2.

Unhurried footsteps soon filled the living room, I felt the strong arms of Joseph around me and the smell of his cologne filled my nostrils, he gently placed a soft kiss on my head. " Hey sweetheart, how was your day" he asked.

" It was okay, atleast Matteo was okay and playing" I replied, raising my head up to look at him.

" You look very tired, give me Matteo I would take care of him, you should go and get some rest or else you would also fall sick" Joseph said rumbling my hair.

" Hey, you just got back from work, you must be hungry and tired as well, let me prepare noodles for you, in the meantime go and rest" I said standing up, he had been out since early in the morning and didn't even have breakfast as he had a very important surgery this morning.

" Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself, you just have to take care of yourself for mr and for Matteo ok, we need you healthy otherwise who would take care of us and run the house" Joseph said fondly and am grateful for such a sweet, loving and understanding husband who appreciates me.

" But can you take care of Matteo?. What would you do if he starts crying, and can you change his diapers or feed him his milk" I asked, worried about what would happen to Matteo if I sleep.

" Don't worry sweetheart, I can change his diapers and also feed him his formula, you should stop giving excuses now and go sleep, otherwise I would be very angry with you" Joseph said sternly.

" Okay, please change his diaper after an hour, also when he wakes up and start crying, I have kept his formula in the fridge, you need to warm it up and give it to him. If thr milk is not warm he would have a stomach ache. And yes, if he continues crying even after you fed him the milk or he refuses to take the milk please wake me up" I instructed.

" Okay ma, your wish is my command, and Matteo would be a good boy and sleep peacefully and later on play with daddy, he won't disturb his mommy. So hurry up and go get some proper rest" Joseph ushered.

I smiled at him and took a deep sigh of relief then pecked him and went inside the room to sleep. As I lay down, tossing and turning, wandering how Joseph and Matteo would fare. The moment I closed my eyes to sleep I heard a ping on my phone, I wanted to ignore it, but something in me tugged me to reach for the phone and check what it is.

It was a message from Steven; " hey Kendall, how are you doing and how is Matteo's health. I didn't return him last night and didn't want to disturb you, but I know it's crucial to tell you, Selena is in the hospital, she suffered a head injury and had an operation yesterday".

My heart sank to my stomach, Selena, my poor, cute and adorable girl is in the hospital?. I no longer felt tired or sleepy, just anxious. I went out of the room to call Joseph, we have to go to right now.

I found Joseph in the kitchen cooking noodles. " Joseph, hurry up and eat, we need to go to the hospital immediately" I said anxiously.

" Hey didn't I ask you to sleep, what are you doing here, are you feeling sick?" He asked.

" No not me, it's Selena, she is in the hospital and had undergone a surgery yesterday, we need to go" I said.

"Okay" Joseph replied and switched off the gas.

I changed Matteo's diapers, tidied up and backed him baby bag, while Joseph ate his food. In no time we left the house and drove to the hospital.
