CHAPTER 59

Everyone kept quiet as Harry flipped through the result.

"My sweetheart, what does the result says?"Mrs crown asked out of curiousity plus the expression on Harry's face didn't sit well with her.

The doctor was confused with Harry's sad expression. He doesn't understand why Harry should be unhappy that Bethel didn't have a miscarriage. Shouldn't he be happy?

"Mr Harry, you should be glad Bethel didn't have a miscarriage. Her and her baby are out of danger" the doctor smiled and that even got Harry more worried. He knows that he can't father a child, so definitely Bethel must have lay with another man and bear his seed.

Oh no, he doesn't want to believe that but that's the reality.

He walked out of the hospital without a word.

Mrs Crown was confused.

"Which baby are they talking about?"

So Bethel is pregnant all this while?

Who's the father?

Is it for her beloved son or for another?

Questions filled the air in Mrs Crown's head.

For Annie, she felt like all her efforts were already left vain because of how badly Mrs crown wants a grandchild but nevertheless, she can't stop trying. Not even now.

She faced Mrs Crown with a mindset of defaming Bethel.

"I have always known Bethel to be a bitch......."

"Absolutely there's no difference between you both"Mrs Crown shut Annie up harshly.

Although Mrs Crown doesn't know what's wrong but she realized that the happiness that her son usually beam with whenever Bethel is near or around disappeared when the doctor announced that she is pregnant.

Something must be wrong somewhere. Whatever it is, she will find out.

Mrs Crown walked out of the hospital, her shoulders high up like the classy woman she really is. She found her son in his car. He had his head down on the steering...

"Harry" she called as she knocked on the window.

Harry raised his head and opened the car door for her. Mrs Crown saw the glint of sadness at every corners of his eyes even though he tried to cover it up with a smile, she still saw it.

"Are you okay? Harry what's wrong?" She asked.

"Absolutely nothing. I'm fine" he answered. That's a lie and she knows too.

She proceeded to the next question.

"Who is the baby father?" She asked.

Harry was quiet for a while. "Are you the one?" Mrs Crown whispered.

"I wish I was the one"he whispered back and Mrs crown narrowed her eye brows. Harry's reply gave her chills.

"C'mon, my son it's fine. You will be fine. None of those ladies deserve you" Mrs Crown suddenly felt unhappy seeing her son sad.

"If you continue being the right man, the right lady will find you okay" she said.

"I know right" he replied.

"Do me a favour mother" he asked.

"Anything, I will do it for you my son" she replied

"Don't be harsh towards Bethel" he asked.

"Hmm okay" she replied

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Bethel opened her eyes, only to find herself in a hospital bed and she was dressed in the hospital uniform. She tried sitting up but then she felt a slight pain in between her thighs so she gave up sitting up. She tried recollecting how she ended up in the hospital and yes, she remembered everything. Annie pushed her, she fell with a thud and started bleeding. Harry lifted her up in his arms, that's exactly where she passed out.

In his arms.

Few minutes later, the door opened. It was who she wasn't expecting at all.

Mrs Crown.

Bethel was forced to sit up immediately Mrs crown approached her with a small smile.

"How are you doing, Bethel?" She asked.

"I'm fine" Bethel replied, still looking at the door. She wondered where Harry was in the moment. She is carrying his CHILD yet he choose not to show up.

She felt sad.

"Thank God you're getting better. Thank God your baby is safe"Mrs Crown said and Bethel's heart skipped several beats. Her baby??

She knows about it??

Mrs crown dropped the basket she came with. Inside the basket were several plates. The aroma was nice.

"You must be hungry" Mrs crown said and uncovered the plates.

"Spicy spaghetti.... ohh no, is this woman here to lure me!! How does she knows my favorite?" Bethel wondered.

"Eat up"Mrs crown said.

"Thank you ma'am" Bethel replied and started eating at once.

"Slowly, you don't want to get an incomplete digestion do you?" Mrs Crown asked.

Bethel, whose mouth was full of spaghetti slow down her pace of eating.

"Thank you ma'am"she muttered, wondering why the woman is suddenly taking care of her.

What about Annie??

Bethel suddenly felt like something was wrong. Harry didn't show up as well. Something is really wrong.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

After Mrs Crown left with the maids, Bethel kept looking at the door. She really wants to see Harry but he didn't show up, it really made her sad.

She's carrying his child, yet he didn't show up. He didn't care to see her.

He just didn't care. Bethel didn't know when a year fell from her eyes.

"Are you alright, Miss Bethel?" That was the doctor's voice.

"Yeah.. I'm okay" she wiped her tears immediately.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes"

"If there's anything, you can always count on me. By the way, you're fit to go home. President Harry is here to receive you" the doctor said.

Bethel gave a small smile. He's finally here to see her. Harry is here.

"Mommaaaa" Angel's tiny voice came from the door.. Angel almost jumped on her but the doctor was quick to prevent that.

"Angel, your nanny isn't really fit for now so you can't jump on her, okay" the doctor said go Angel.

"Okay" Angel grinned.

She leaned close to Bethel's bed and kissed her cheeks.

"I miss you Mom. I thought you were never gonna come back"

"I'm here" Bethel gave a small smile.

"I love you Mom" Angel kissed her cheek for the up tenth time.

They were in the middle of their mother and child play when Harry came in. Bethel disengage from Angel immediately.

"Harry.... good morning... I .."

Bethel was saying but Harry shut her up with just two words. "Get up" with that, he walked out.

He really shut her up. She doesn't know what to feel or think of at the moment.

"Momma, daddy says let's go home" Angel smiled. Bethel returned her smile and get up. She held hands with Angel till they got to the parking lots where Harry's car was parked.

He was already seated in the car, he had his ear pods plugged in.

Something is really wrong. His eyes said it all. Bethel began to wonder where she went wrong and what she didn't do right.

"Momma... let's go home" Angel tapped Bethel who was already lost in her thoughts again..

She opened the car door for Angel to seat at the back seat while she joined Harry at the front seat. She noticed that he kept on ignoring her. He doesn't want to talk to her.

She decides to ask him what she did once they get home..

He didn't glance at her throughout the drive, she was the one who kept on stealing glances at him..

Hours later, Harry's car pulled into a halt in the driveway in his gigantic mansion.

Harry stepped out of the car and opened the car door for Bethel, that was the only time he glanced at her ever since the drive from the hospital. He has been avoiding her gaze for so many reasons, he wants to try to forget her since she loved another, she's pregnant with another man's child..

"Thank you"she muttered he nodded and looked away immediately.

He directed his gaze to his daughter and lift her up immediately, he walked into the mansion with her trailing behind him.

"Ohh my.... brother welcome!" Emma, Harry's sister welcomed him happily.

"Hi Bethel, how's your health now?" Emma waved at Bethel.

"Fine, thanks" Bethel replied, wondering why everyone is so caring towards her.

Harry's sister are now changed towards her.

Wow, this is really good.

Bethel noticed Annie was absent in the house. She asked Hannah the cook about Annie. She learnt that Harry had cancelled the engagement with Annie the day after Annie caused her accident.

It was really a long day.

Finally, night arrived. Bethel still couldn't get over why Harry was avoiding her. She decided to go ask him.

When she got to his door, she knocked once, there was no reply. She waited patiently and decided to knock again. She knocked again, there was no reply. She wanted to try knocking again when a strong hand grabbed her hair from behind.

She wanted to scream but she kept shut because he smells like Harry.

"What else do you want?" He whispered into her neck then he turned her so she could face him.

Bethel shivered in little fear. He looked dangerous for some seconds.

"Harry why is your face like this.... I.... I..."

"Why do you like messing with my head? First you pretend you love me and now you're pregnant for another!" Harry said with a pained filled voice. Knowing fully well that he can't father a child is another pain in his heart.

"Pregnant for another???" Bethel felt like she wasn't hearing well. She hasn't lay with another man aside him.

"What are you talking about?" She asked him.

"You know what I'm talking about! You girls are like leopard and can never change your spot" Harry replied.

"Whatttt" Bethel gasped. She slapped him hard on the face.."I'm carrying your child ! I'm carrying your child! You think I'm like your ex right? You think!" She shouted and pushed him out of the way, she doesn't know where she got the strength from...

She was really sad that Harry thought she is pregnant for another.
