Billionaire’s Baby Mama

{Amy’s Pov}

I immediately went to the hospital to pay for Nathan’s operation. The doctor said the operation would be done the following morning.

I went to Nathan’s ward after paying and I saw him sleeping. His usual cute face looked pale as he has lost so much weight. I closed my eyes and said a silent prayer for the success of the operation.

I went to the cushion in the room and laid down to sleep and I immediately fell asleep and when I woke up the following morning, Nathan was already awake.

He was staring deeply at the ceiling and jus eyes were laced with tears. I rushed to him worriedly.

“What happened, Nathan?

“Do you feel pain anywhere?

He glanced at me and the tears rolled out.

“I’ll go get the doctor,” I turned to leave but he grabbed my hand.

“Nathan? I leaned forward and hugged him.

He tapped the empty space beside his bed and asked me to sit. I sat beside him and took a good look at him to be sure he was okay.

“I’m sorry Sis,” He whispered.

“Huh?

I was perplexed by his words.

“Sis, you have to suffer because of me.”

“Who said that?

“I know how much you’ve suffered since I fell ill. You have to do those odd jobs just to save me.”

“What are you saying, Nate?

He didn’t respond to my question and he sat up instead.

“I’m sorry I’ve been nothing but a burden to you. You’ve been the best sister to me but all I did was add to your problems.”

“Shh… I coaxed. “Don’t say that, Nate.” I brushed his hair with my hand. “You have never been a burden to me. You are my brother and I will do anything to save you.”

“But Sis, how do we …

“If you are worried about the operation and hospital bills, then you don’t have to worry because I already made the payments and you’ll have your operation soon.”

“What? He was stunned.

“Yes, Nate,” I affirmed and hugged him tightly in my embrace. All you just have to do is focus on getting better.

“Hmm. I will,” He nodded in my embrace.

“Good,” I stepped away and turned to leave. “I’ll get you something to eat.”

“Amy?” Nate whispered.

“Yes? I went back towards him.

He stared intently at me as if trying to read me. “Where did you get the money?

“Huh?

“I said, how did you arrange the money? He asked again. This time he held my hand so I can’t go away from him.

“I… Uh. it’s nothing,” I stuttered.

I wish I was a good liar.

“It’s nothing for you to worry about.”

“Really? He coughed and sat up. “Amy, I can’t help worrying about you because I know there’s no one to take care of you and you usually don’t think before you act,” He stated.

“You don’t have to worry, I didn’t get in trouble this time.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Good,” He nodded and crossed his arm. “So tell me, how did you get the money?

Nathan’s voice was low but it held so much authority like he is my father.

“I mean it, Nate, it’s safe.”

“Hearing you stall further confirms my doubt,” He coughed again. “So, tell me what trouble did you get yourself into just to pay that amount?

I scratched my nape awkwardly. I had no answer ready for him.

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Really? He scoffed.

I knew he didn’t believe me a d he wouldn’t stop until I tell him so I decided to tell him the truth.

Sometimes I wish I could tell a good lie.

“Believe me, Nate, I did nothing wrong. l only made a deal with a billionaire and he gave me the money.

“A deal? With who?

“Yes. I made a deal with a billionaire and that’s how I stumbled on that amount of money,” I pulled lightly on his cheek as I prepared to escape.

“Satisfied with my answer?

He eyed me suspiciously and brushed his cheek. “Are you sure?

“Sure boss. You have nothing to worry about.”

Nathan wasn’t convinced and he was about to ask another question but a nurse came in to prepare him for the operation.

I stepped aside and watched her get him ready. His eyes were on me the entire time.

Nathan was wheeled into the theater and I sat out there waiting. My hands and legs were shaking in anxiety. I was praying fervently for the success of the operation.

And finally, after waiting for four hours. He was wheeled out of the theater. I was happy to see his calm face as he was taken back to his room.

“How did it go? I asked in trepidation.

The doctor smiled and gave a proud nod. “Congratulations Miss Jeurgens, the operation was a success.”

I took the doctor’s outstretched hand and shook it “Thank you so much, doctor.”

“You are welcome, Miss Jeurgens. I was only doing my job.”

“Can I go and see her?

“Of course, you can, but try not to disturb her,” The doctor explained.

“Alright, I won’t.”

“Have a nice day, Miss Jeurgens,” The doctor walked away.

“Thanks once again! I screamed after her.

I was just too happy. I finally get my brother back and it’s all thanks to Mr…

“Oh, Shit!

I forgot I was supposed to meet Mr. Clay today.

His assistant Austin had called me when Mary’s operation was ongoing but I wasn’t in the right mind to answer the call so l hung up.

“Oh My God, What must he be thinking?

I checked my phone and I saw three messages from Austin. One was the address and one was to tell me that the car was already waiting for me at my apartment. In the last message, he was asking where I was.

“Oh, Shit!

He must think I ran away after getting paid so I rushed back to Nathan’s room to check on him. My joy knew no bounds as I checked his body and found no swelling.

I nodded in satisfaction and kissed his forehead before rushing out. I went back to the apartment and took a quick bath, got a change of clothes, and headed to Mr. Clay’s apartment.

“I have a debt to repay.”
