Part 15

" What of Uncle Joel ? " Canary asked with worry and concern in his face.

Lucy chuckled. " I am surprised you still remember him. He left when you were only four. And since then he never contacted us. " She said.

" I know. But my father always tells me that you shared the Rivers family property with ours. I am sure Uncle Joel would be a better heir than I.." Canary said.

" Stop underrating yourself. If Joel wanted to take part in the company he wouldn't have abandoned us like this. " Lucy said pouting her lips hard.

Canary smiled and said. " I know he will come back to us one day. " Canary had just said when his phone rung.

" Mom, a moment. ' He said and got out to go and receive the call.

' The truth your Uncle doesn't care about us. All he does is asking me to send him money. I don't know when he will ever come back. '

Lucy said inwardly.

Canary was outside and on checking the phone it was Leah calling.

" Hi.." He said after receiving the call.

" Canary...Did you reach safely ? " Leah asked.

" Yes..Stop calling me. I am at the hospital. " He said.

" I am calling because I miss you already. " Leah muttered.
