Daddy's Love novel Chapter 32

For all I know both the Grey's haven't come out of their house since the incident. I hope they are fine. But then again, why should I care?

Also, it's not been a long time, has it? But he should have gone to the doctor At least. Maybe he has already. I know he hasn't. He won't. Help just won't.

I call Mr. G.

"So, you sure, he hasn't come yet Hamlyn?"

"One hundred percent."

"Umm.... Can I ask you for a favour? As a friend?"

"You know you can Jay." He tells me.

"Well, as you must have guessed we got into a fight yesterday and I hurt him pretty bad too. He will be needing stitches but he won't come around. Can you go to his house and just do the needful? It's his birthday today so you know you can say you were at my place for a home visit to me and decided on wishing him on his way back?" I tell him.

"Jay, I am... "

"Please, don't refuse Hamlyn. I'll owe you one and obviously I'll pay you for the house visit and stuff."

"Okay. I'll leave post lunch."

"Thank you so much man! Thanks! Also, um.... Could you not at all mention that we had this conversation or anything...."

"That goes without saying.... "

"Cool. Thanks once again man."

I feel a little better knowing that At least he will have a doctor look at him now. I hope he lets him. Doctor G is really persistent. He will do the needful, but Ana is going to be so scared by his mere presence. She started crying when she bumped into him in the park. I groan.

I just spend the entire afternoon thinking about all this. I speak to Carol post lunch and she is bored out of her mind. Zack tells me she is well behaved and all so that's fine At least.

Soon I get a text that is not from Grey. It's the doctor.

He was in a bad shape. Needed 14 stitches. But he is better now. Physically, at least.

I want to ask so much more. How was Ana? How was the house? Did he cut a cake? But I just reply with a thanks and that I'll be sending his fee soon.

He asks me not to bother. The treatment was on the house.

I smile, despite myself.

The day passes slowly, miserably. Soon Carol comes back.

I thank Zack a million times and take her inside.

"Hey baby, how was your day?"

"Boring.... "

"Why?"

"I don't know...."

"Okay. You want to have dinner?"

"Can I just go to bed?"

"What's with the attitude?" I raise my eyebrow.

"I am sorry daddy. I just had a bad day. I didn't enjoy at all and I am not hungry. I had pizza or something some time back." She sighs.

I know she misses them badly. And it's only been a day.

"I will let you skip dinner and go to bed if you have the bottle instead." I tell her, cutting her some slack.

"Okay." She says and rubs her eyes. I pull her hand down gently and kiss her. I quickly let her take a shower and change her into her night clothes and then give her a bottle. She sleeps in her crib, hugging Ana's Ems.

I wonder what's been keeping Ana company while she's so sad.
