  "Hey, are you alright? " he asked sitting on the bed

  I sighed in relief, he didn't hear anything, he still doesn't know but for how long?

  "What happened, why are you crying? " What was I supposed to say? My daughter feels like I'm not spending enough time with her and she wants to know her father?

  "Come on talk to me. " he sounded worried?

"There's no problem, everything is fine." for now

  "Then why are the both of you crying? "

  "Nothing." he should drop it already.

  "Evie, what's wrong? " he asked.
 
  Oh boy, what's his deal with us crying.

  "It's nothing Kel drop it already." I said before Evie said anything.

  "You shouldn't be crying, most especially when you're sick." he warned.

  "Why didn't you just be a doctor instead? You'd be good at it. " I angrily snapped and he sighed. Seriously him pretending to care was sickening.

  "You wouldn't be able to come to work. In as much as I'd love to stay with you. I have things to do." I didn't even bother arguing, he was getting out of my face and I could spend the day with Evie.

  "I'd send a nurse to take care of you. Get well soon babe." he said kissing my forehead.

I rolled my eyes after he did that, who's he trying to fool about being affectionate?

  "Have a nice day Evie." he said kissing her cheeks. Why is he being affectionate?

  As soon as he left we started planning where we'd go.
"I'm going to get ready, where do you want us to go to? " I asked excitedly

   "To the park, zoo anywhere. I just want to spend time with you." it just made me feel like I was neglecting her.

  "I want to spend time with you too. " I said hugging her.

   A nurse came in later ushered by the nanny. "I'm Rhoda and I'm your nurse. Mr Adrios instructed me to take care of you and make sure you don't leave the house."

   What is wrong with him for God's sake. I'm fine already.

  "I'm better now. I have to go somewhere."

  "I'm sorry ma'am but you are not to." she said and I sneezed. Stupid Adrios, stupid sickness.

  "It's fine, you can leave."

"You'd have to take your medicines."

  "I already did." I said rather rudely.

  He just ruined the day for Evie and I.

  "You're not okay yet, maybe we should go some other time."

  "I guess. I'm sorry we can't go out today, we'd go anywhere you want on Saturday."

  "Okay."

  "But that doesn't mean we can't do some things today." I said smiling and she smirked.

  We spent the day together. She spent time colouring, watching cartoons, I read her a story, we played dress up it was just like old times. I felt like I was really neglecting her because of work. I guess I'd have to quit soon. She was my priority nothing else. And no one else.

  "I thought I told you to rest West." I didn't even know when he came in, I was setting the table for dinner.

  "I did and besides I'm fine now." he walked closer to me and placed his hand on my forehead.
