Last night, we said our goodbyes to Ethan. He said we were going to see him whenever Olivia decided to come back. He wamed us not to have him followed or check where he went. I wanted to so badly but at the same time, I wanted to give Olivia the space she needed to calm down. I also sent a letter for her with Ethan.
Then I went to the hospital and spent the night being kangaroo dad to my newborn daughter. A child with no name and born into a broken family. I never wanted her to know that she was the reason my wife left me. I would like to believe that the cruel people who instigated the whole thing were the ones who were responsible for everything.
But how would I explain to her that she spent days and maybe it was going to be months without a name, because I wanted her mother to name her, if she did that, that would mean she accepted my daughter as her own. She might not want me back, but it didn’t matter to me, as long as my daughter had a mother. But it was going to hurt me to lose her.
I didn’t want her to ever wonder why she didn’t have a mother, why she was not loved and wanted. I wanted her to grow up a happy child and money can’t buy her everything. It couldn’t not buy her a mother or a mother’s love.
“Sir, can you give me the baby now, it’s feeding time.” That was the nurse. They came to wake me up every two hours to feed her, check her vitals and see if everything was alright with her. she gently took her from my chest and went to sit on the other chair and started feeding her.
I watched closely as she did so, as I wanted to learn everything because soon, I was going to have to do all that myself. the thought of it all broke my heart. Some might think I wanted my wife just so she could look after my baby for me.
But they would be dead wrong. When Ethan suggested that was the case and refused to take the letter to Olivia, it broke me. Nick convinced him to take it in the condition that we were not going to do anything to try and find
them.
We agreed of course, as much as I wanted my wife back. I didn’t want to bother her; I didn’t want it to seem like I was forcing her to come back home when she was not ready I missed them like crazy though. Samuel and his smile.
Them making a whole lot of noise at the dinner table. The house seemed noisy back then but when they left, it felt empty. Not like the home it used to be. the nurse changed her nappy and told me she was going to put her back into the incubator.
I didn’t want to leave her room, but she told me she would look after her while I go shower, change and eat something. She even suggested sleep, but I couldn’t sleep anyway. I hesitated to leave the hospital but eventually I
left.
My wife and I would have taken terns doing that. but her moron of a husband chased her away. I shook my head getting into the car and driving off. when I got to my house, I stopped and sat in the car outside. Wondering how many times Olivia did the same thing.
How many times did she sit in her car on the driveway dreading going into the house she once called home but wasn’t anymore. Dreading seeing that woman ordering her husband around and him complying with her every demand.
How many times did she cry alone in the car wishing for everything to just go back to normal. A sigh left me. It was no pointed delaying. My baby was waiting for me, she had no one there. I got out of the car and headed into the house.

Chapter 216
I opened the door then walked inside. It was dead quiet in there. It was lonely. I went to our room to shower, but her smell had faded. It was like she never lived there. Only Her belongings served as proof that she did at some point, she did live there.
With sadness, I averted my gaze from her stuff and went into the shower. When I was done, I went to the kitchen to look for something to eat but I lost my appetite. It was nice cooking for people, eating alone at home was not something I was used to anymore.
