Chapter 204 - You Are My Lawerence

" Miss. Vanessa…" Duke called her name.

She turned her head and looked at him, then she noticed Adrian standing beside him. She gave a disgusting look at him and yelled, " What are you doing here, Mr. Wilson? Are you so fond of watching someone suffer? "

" Miss. Vanessa. ...he came to visit you when I informed him about your pregnancy. He wanted to help you as your fiance is not with you at this time " Duke explained.

She looked at Adrian and said in a high tone, "That's why my baby left me not to take help from this criminal " 

" Miss. Vanessa...I can understand your pain and I don't get angry with you because you lost your beloved ones. I am sorry for your loss" Adrian said with a sad face.

She laughed sarcastically and said, " How could you understand my pain! huh!! I lost my love and my baby.

" You will understand the same pain when you experience it. He and I planned a happy married life with many kids, a happy family. But the incident changed everything in my life. I will feel content when you experience the same pain…" she cursed while crying.

Adrian could not stand in that place for some time after hearing her words. He could not even imagine his life without his wife and especially his son, Sam.

" Miss. Vanessa….doddon'tt talk without knowing the truth. It was not a fire accident as everyone is thinking but a blast. So it is not the mistake of Mr. Wilson. Someone was there behind the incident " Duke said as he lost control when she was misunderstanding his boss.

Then Duke continued, " Being the company CEO he came here to visit you as soon as he came to know about your condition. Can't you see how humble and kind-hearted a person he is? And how could you curse him like that? "

As soon as she came to know about the blast, she was in shock. She remained numb. 

….

After some time, Adrian came to her room and said, " If you need any help, don't hesitate to call me. If you don't want to speak with me, call Duke " he informed Vanessa and then asked Duke to pay her hospital bills. 

He looked at her and said, " I hope you recover soon and come out of this misery. I only pray to God to give you a happy and peaceful life very soon ". Then he walked away with a devastating heart.

...

At Adrian's home

Martin was enjoying his time with Sam whereas Kathie was busy in the kitchen preparing his favorite dishes.

In the afternoon, Katherine invited Martin and Sam to join for lunch then she informed her mother-in-law, Maria. When everyone was having their lunch, Sam asked, " Uncle Martin...why don't we play in the garden? "

" No...the weather is cold. I don't allow to play outside…" Katherine said strictly.

" Momma….please...I will wear a jacket and a woolen cap. Just for one hour…" he pleaded. Martin also pleaded with her as he was going away from them. 

" Why don't you allow him to play? At least one hour, Kathie!! " Maria said.

" Okay. One hour…" she finally agreed.

" Thank you….momma…" Sam said and completed the food on his plate. Kathie smiled looking at her son. She was also thinking about playing with him for a long time. 

After having lunch, they went to the garden to play. But Maria went to her bedroom as she cannot stay for a long time. 

….

" Sam...shall we play with a ball? " Kathie asked.

" Yeah…." Sam jumped with excitement. She threw the ball in her hands and asked him to catch it. Martin also joined them in playing with a ball.

They played for an hour. Suddenly Sam asked Kathie to prepare some snacks as he was feeling hungry. Then Kathie replied, " Come inside. Already one hour has been completed. If you stay more than one hour, he might catch a cold" 

" Momma. I and Uncle Martin will be back in ten minutes meanwhile you prepared for us…" Sam requested.

" Okay...ten minutes only…" She said in a strict tone and walked inside.

" Uncle ….why don't we play another interesting game? " Little Sam asked.

" What game, my champ? " He questioned me.

" Blindfold my eyes with a cloth, I will catch you with the help of your voice…" Sam said.

Martin smiled at him and folded the cloth around his eyes, he turned around him and moved away from him so that he could catch him. By running here and there Martin ran around him but Sam caught him cleverly.

Once Sam caught him, Sam asked to catch him by blindfolding his eyes. " okay…" Martin agreed and blindfolded his eyes. After tying the cloth, he slightly opened the cloth.

" Uncle Martin ...no cheating " Sam shouted.

" Okay ..okay…" he replied and started searching for him.

…..

When Katherine was preparing snacks, Emily entered the kitchen all of the sudden.

" Hi...Kathie...How are you? " She greeted her.

" Wow….what a surprise? You are at this time! " she questioned her.

" Today morning, when I called Aunt Maria while going to my company, she told me that you are not going to the office. So I thought to meet you. The last time also, you had no time to talk with me as you were in a hurry to go to the company, " she explained.

" I am so sorry. I didn't get time to call you back " Katherine apologized. For that, she replied, " it's okay. I could understand the situation. It was an emergency "

" Okay..tell me why you didn't go to the company in this situation! " she inquired.

" I want to spend some time with Sam…" she replied.

" So..you are preparing the snacks for him! " she asked her. " Not only for Sam but also for my best friend, Martin. Both were playing in the garden, " Katherine replied.

Emily felt so excited when she came to know that he is present in her home. Then she said, " I will meet Sam in the garden ". She quickly went to the garden to see Martin.

When she went to that place, she saw Martin was blindfolded and was searching for Sam by placing his hand in the air. 

" Sam...where are you! " he was calling continuously.

Meanwhile, she walked towards them and stood in front of him. Accidentally his fingers brushed her arms and her neck. He thought the person was Kathie and said, " Hey...Kathie...where is that little monkey? I can't find him? I am very tired"

" I am also tired of searching for you. Where were you all these years? " Emily asked him.

He felt like he knew the familiar voice and took off the cloth around his eyes. He was stunned to see Emily very close to him. He tried to turn away from her but She held his hands and looked into his eyes, " Why Lawerence? Why are you punishing me? Can't you forgive me for my mistake which I made a long time ago?". She questioned him as if she was on the verge of crying.

" I am not Lawrence. My name is Martin. Hope you have mistaken me in identifying" he said.

" You can't tell me lies because I love you…" she fisted the collar of his shirt.

He pushed him away and shouted at her, " Stay away from me, Miss. Green. I am not a toy to play with."

" Uncle Martin…." Sam shouted from the far.

" Sam...come here…" Martin ran quickly as he was sitting at the edge of the pool hanging his legs in the water of the swimming pool.

" Sam… kids should not go alone to this place. It will be dangerous. Be like a good boy Or else your mom doesn't allow you to come outside " he explained.

" Okay...Uncle Martin " he nodded his head like an obedient boy.

" That's like my little Champ….let's go inside…" He lifted him in his arms. Sam noticed Emily from far and greeted her, " Hi...Aunt Emily…"

" Hi Sam…" she replied, plastering a smile on her lips.

" Lawrence….please talk to me…" Emily requested him.

" Aunt...he is our Uncle Martin, not Lawrence, " Sam informed her.

" I think your Aunt is mistaken, let's go…" Martin said, looking at her seriously. But she held her wrist without the notice of Sam to stop him. 

" Sam...go and tell your mom to serve the snacks on the table. I will come inside later" Martin instructed. He obeyed immediately as he was hungry.

Once he noticed Sam went inside, Martin took his hand from her grip forcefully. He looked at her furiously and said, " Can't you understand if I say, I am not Lawrence," 

" If you talk in a high pitch doesn't mean that you are telling the truth. Because I knew that you are my Lawrence " She screamed and held his right hand.

She touched his ring finger and showed the name, " Emily" with a love symbol between his middle finger and ring finger. She looked into his eyes and asked " Seven years are not enough to punish me? "
