Chapter 208 - Where Is Mumma?

" I was thinking who was the bastard who planned the blast in our company, " he replied.

She too started thinking about his words seriously. When they got the confirmation, Mr. Green was not behind the blast then who it might be.

" Okay….we will talk about it tomorrow morning. Go and change your dress " she said.

He nodded and tried to stand but he was not in a steady position. She helped him to stand on his feet. Then they walked towards the wardrobe and gave him a fresh pair of night suits. And also help him in changing the dress.

Then she made him lay on the bed beside Sam who was sleeping. Looking at his son, he started the conversation " Kathie…. Do you know what happened today? ". 

" What happened? " she asked him.

" Today morning, Duke and I went to meet Miss. Vanessa " he told, caressing Sam's face.

" Who is she?!!! " she asked curiously.

" Fiance of our employee who died in the blast. Duke got the information that she was pregnant by her fiance. I wanted to help her. So I went to meet her but…." He stopped and looked at her for a second.

" Then what happened? " she asked him.

" By the time we reached her flat, she was admitted to the hospital as her health got worse in the early hours. She….lost the baby as her body was weak " finally he told what was bothering his mind.

" What!!! " Katherine sat on the bed all of sudden.

" Yes...Buttercup. The tears from her eyes were flowing like Niagara. It was so hard to see her pain with my eyes. Even the loss of company doesn't make me upset but her cry made me upset. On the spot, I wanted to kill the bastard who planned the blast, " he said.

" How is she now? " Katherine asked him.

" I don't know. She doesn't want to see my face. So I left the place to not make her upset, " he explained.

" Don't think about anything now. Just close your eyes and take some rest. We will think about it tomorrow, " she suggested.

He took her hand into his and closed his eyes. A few minutes later, she noticed a calm breath of him. She could see the frown on his face even while he was sleeping. But she lost in her thoughts thinking about his words. 

All night, she was thinking about Vanessa. She knew how life would be without a loving partner.

…..

Early in the morning, she completed her chores and got ready to go outside. She left a note on the nightstand for her husband.

She went to Maria's bedroom and informed her that she is going to do important work and will be back. She made a call to Duke to know the details of Vanessa.

...

Even though it was snowing heavily, she drove the car to Vanessa's flat. She parked the car on the road and went to meet her at her flat. It was seven in the morning, the door was locked. 

She pressed the calling bell and waited for her to open the door. She stood in the same place whereas she was shivering with cool breezes. After three times of ringing the doorbell, one elderly woman opened the door. She looked at her strangely. She introduced herself and asked her to allow to talk with Vanessa.

" Why are you people disturbing the poor girl? " the elderly woman shouted once she came to know who she is.

" Sorry. I am here to share her pain and want to be a support. Please let me meet her, " she pleaded.

" She is sleeping…." The woman replied.

" Okay. I will wait for her till she wakes up…" Katherine said.

" Your wish…." Saying the woman shut the door on her face.

She stood outside in the cold weather to talk with Vanessa. She was badly shivering due to the cold climate.

Mrs. Wilson...

At once she heard a male voice and turned her head. She found Duke standing behind her. 

" What are you doing here? " she asked him.

" Mr. Wilson instructed me to help Miss. Vanessa's condition was not good. So I am here to ask if she needs anything, " he explained.

" Ohhh…." She said,

" But what are you doing here! " he asked her.

" I am here to convince and take her to my home till she becomes normal," she said about the purpose of her visit.

" Don't take my words in the wrong way. I don't think she came with you because she talked with Mr. Wilson very rudely, " he said, thinking what he was thinking in his mind.

She gave a small smile and said, " She was going through a deep pain in her heart. It's not so easy to come out of the trauma "

" If you come to meet her then why are you standing here! " he inquired.

" She was sleeping. So I am waiting here, " she answered. He understood that they didn't allow her to enter inside her home.

He pressed the calling bell and waited for someone to open the door. Like before an older woman opened the door and identified as he came the day before to visit Miss. Vanessa. She invited him inside to come.

" Thank you. But I am not alone. Some other person is standing outside, " Duke said. Then Duke went out and entered inside the flat along with Katherine. 

" Why is she with you? Don't you know it's because of her husband, Vanessa's condition? " the older woman asked him.

Meanwhile, Vanessa came outside on hearing the noise in the living room. 

" Why are you here, Mrs. Wilson? " she asked in a calm tone.

" I want you to come with me to my home. I know you need family support in this condition. I am here to take you with me, " she said, waiting for her reply. Vanessa was startled to know why she came to her flat. 

Duke and the older woman were surprised to hear Katherine's words. 

" Are you joking? " she questioned her.

" I am serious. I know money is not important for you in this condition. You need moral support to get back to normal " Katherine answered.

Vanessa laughed at her and asked, " I don't want to see your faces then how do you think that I will come and stay with you all? "

" If you and your husband want to help me then never show your faces to me…" she said firmly.

Katherine walked towards her and said, " I experienced the same pain a few years back but at that time, I had my son in my womb which gave me strength. So I could understand how much pain you are going through in your heart" 

Vanessa looked at her silently with tears in her eyes. Then Katherine patted her shoulder and said, " If you need my help, I will be there for you as a sister but not like a capitalist's wife" 

Still, there was no response from her side. "Mrs. Wilson….I think we must leave, I don't think she will change her mind "

" Mr. Duke...will you stay quiet " Katherine shouted.

" It's not an item which she lost but her beloved one. You could never understand the pain of her heart because you were never in love with anyone. You only saw the woman as…." She didn't complete her statement and left the place giving a deadly glare to him.

Duke stood speechless because he had never seen her that furious. After a few minutes, he looked at them and searched for her. 

When he reached down at the apartment, he saw her standing near the car in the heavy snow. When he stepped towards her, he noticed she was supposed to fall on the ground. He held her arms and try to make her stand properly on her feet but she fainted in his arms.

He quickly lifted her in his arms and carried her to his car. After placing her in the back seat, he drove to his home as it is near to the place. 

From the flat's balcony, Vanessa watched him carrying her to his car and drove away. 

…..

At Adrian's home:

" Dadda...Good morning…" Sam greeted Adrian.

Adrian heard his son's voice but could not open his eyes due to the effect of the hangover. 

" Dadda...where is Mumma? " he asked him. Instantly he opened his eyes and looked beside him on the bed.

" Maybe in the kitchen…" he said, yawning.

" She is not in the home. I checked everywhere…" he said, dragging his hands.

He checked in the bathroom then he found a note on the nightstand.

"Good morning LOVE…

Firstly sorry to make you upset in the morning. I am going to Vanessa's home to talk with her. I could sleep all the time after you said what happened with her. I will try to come soon. 

Please handle our little munchkin in my absence…

…..

After reading it, Adrian said, " Momma went on some important work. Today I will get you ready " he kissed his cheek.

" You are….yacky….dadda. Don't kiss me…" Sam moved away.

" Let me brush my teeth, first…" he said and went to the bathroom.
