IVY'S POV
"Come this way sir,"I called the father to Jayden. I needed to have a word with him because what he had done was so wrong.
If I even had the power, I would take that child from him and take care of him.
"Okay,"He nodded and walked back with me to my chambers.
"Can I see my child already, I want to ensure that he is well,"He told me.
"Well, that won't be possible. We have to talk first,"I told him and the images of how his son was when he come to my clinic flushed in my mind and I felt the urge to talk.
"Is he really your son?"I asked him.
"Of course he is, why can you say such a thing about him?"He implored.
"Well, do you know how many people out here try to get children?"I asked him.
"Well, I don't know why you are saying that,"He seemed pretty irritated.
"I am telling you this because your son could die. He was so anaemic when he got here. This is something you could control but I am just shocked that you got to see him when he is this worse,"I told him feeling tingles of pain in my heart.
"I am sorry for that. I have just been too busy,"He started getting what I was telling him.
"Your son should always come first Mr. You should take care of your child first before you attend to work." I mumbled.
"I have heard you,"He said.
"Well, this is like you are being granted a second chance with your son to make it right. Please take very good care of him. He really deserves that."I told him with concern written all over my face.
"I will. Can I see him now?"He implored.
"Yea of course,"I got to my senses and led him to the small ward next to my office.
"Take him slow, he is just recovering,"I told him after opening the door for him to bond with his son.
ACE'S POV
Tears left my eyes when I saw my son in the hospital bed that could be his death bed if I had delayed for sometime.
Thank God I made it to get him here in time. God knows how it could go wrong when I couldn't make to get him here in time.
"Daddy,"He scoffed as soon as he opened his eyes and I hugged him tightly.
I loved my son so much. I don't know how I would be without him.
"Son, you will get better okay, I am so sorry that you are here because of me,"I stated this words as I ran my hands through his hair.
"You don't have to be all sad. You should get him something to eat as I monitor him,"The doctor come back to the ward and told me that.
"Ok sure, I hope he is getting better,"I told her.
"Yes, he is such a fighter."She giggled.
"Come on, go and get him some fruits to eat. He needs to raise his blood levels,"She urged me and I didn't have an option but to get out of the ward to get something for my boy Jayden.
I got out of the ward and walked to the small garden nearby to get some fresh air.
That had been a tough moment for me. I have never been so helpless before in my entire life.
I took out my phone and called my dad. I lied that Jayden had some cold and I told him to send his chauffer to bring me some fruits by the hospital.
My dad did it and in the next five minutes, his chauffer had brought a bag full of fruits, grapes, apples, pineapples and plumps.
"Do you need anything else sir?"The chauffer asked me.
"Just stay here. Let me see if the doctor needs anything else,"I told him and he waited for me.
This doctor had spoken some sense to me and all I think about right now is my son. My son was always going to come first. I needed to worry about my son more than I worry about my work.
People always talk to me in a way to please me but I am shocked that this doctor talked some sense to me.
When you are a Billionare, people always want to please you but this doctor is an exception. She stands for the truth and that I found attractive with her.
"I brought some fruits,"I told her when I found her checking Jayden's temperature.
"You were pretty fast,"She commented scribbling some things down in her notebook.
"Daddy,"Jayden got my attention and I stopped staring at her.
"Your son is doing pretty well. As I said earlier, he is quite a fighter,"She tattled.
"Here baby, eat this apple and keep this doctor away,"I said it as a pun now that an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Jayden took the apple and started eating it. He was already capable of sitting but he had a small needle on his hand that the doctor used to channel the drugs into his tiny body.
"Take an apple doctor, "I was suddenly too kind to her.
"Thank you. I will leave you two. I need to go and process the papers so that Jayden will be discharged today. Ensure that you take very good care of him and once I discharge him, please bring him for some checkup."She urged after taking one apple from the basket.
"Okay,"I mumbled.
She left the room and I couldn't help but stare at my son with the hospital cloths on. It was a miracle that he is still alive. Seeing him in bed this morning is something that I would never forget.
I was going to give him all the care in the world.
I played some games with him and my happy Jayden was back to me again.
An hour later, the doctor come with the discharging papers. He gave me some more drugs to give to him and he also urged me to give him fruits so as to raise his blood level.
I thanked the doctor and as I was walking out of the paediatric department, I recalled that I didn't know her name.
I got the pinch to know her name thus I had to head back to talk to her. I would thank her sooner or later. She really deserves it.
"Did you forget anything?"She jutted her eyebrows up in suprise when she saw me.
"Yes."I said with a small smile. I love playing alot.
"What did you forget sir?"She mumbled.
"Actually, call me Ace. Ace Kennedy. " I urged.
"Okay Ace, what did you forget?"She implored
"I forgot to ask you your name,"That was me speaking.
"Oh, yeah right, my name is Ivy, Ivy Summers, it is a pleasure to meet you Ace,"She said shaking my hands.
I wanted to have a random talk with her but some other doctor called her to attend to a patient.
