"Charlie tell us exactly the current situation of Joan. ", Sheila was curious to know.
"Mrs Holland, she almost passed out due to anger. At present in Hospital H Psychiatry Ward. She is under medication. She was sad when heard about Lea's pregnancy. She was like, why God denies me everything and giving everything to Lea.' she is forgetting the fact that Lea also suffered a lot. She is also diagnosed with PCOD. Means chances of her getting pregnant is very low. I am afraid even to tell her that photo i showed Michael. I am afraid she will hate me. Rest of my life would be an apology to her. Also trust me, if even her stage is not curable, I won't let her do anything to your family. I will chain her up if she went beyond control, even though it hurts me. "
"Uncle, stop such words. Every thing will be fine. Only think positive. My grandpa grandma and dad is with you." Hanna said.
"So you won't team up with me little angel to save your aunty?". He said in a childish tone..
"If they arw with you, then we are with them."... She laughed with mouth full of butter scotch flavor ice cream.
Charlie really wished for a little girl like her as his own. At the same moment je remembered the word, Karma... No way the God will be merciful.
"Fred, her doctor wants to meet you all. I have already told him details. She is now undergoing counseling. You will have to meet be as advised by him. As per the doctor, her mental state is like you all will never forgive her for what she did to micheal. We can bring her back to normal if she felt that you have forgiven her. Also if not, I hope the worst."
"No worries Charlie, we will visit him. You just give me his number. We will fix appointment." Joseph said. After all she is his friend's daughter and her should forgive her if she apologized.
While driving back home, Fred felt that the whole family is surrounded by a positive energy.
When he looked sideways,. Lea seemed to be dizzy. She was a bit abnormal. Fred stopped the car and touched her. She was burning with fever.
" Mom, she is having high fever. "
"Drive to hospital H emegency." Sheila advised him.
They reached casualty dept of the hospital. Lea was almost unconscious. She seemed to be anaemic. When they checked her blood it was below 4 in haemoglobin level. Doctor advised blood transfusion.
Sheila saw a familiar face approaching them. Oh it was Jane, her friend and a top business tycoon's wife. Edward is the CEO of JE corporation. She and Sheila were childhood friends. She was there in all the ups and downs with Shiela.
"Sheila, what happened?"
"My daughter in law is pregnant and she is unconscious. She has low haemoglobin and needs transfusion but her blood group is a rare one, it's bombay group. It's rarest and I don't know what to do. No stock available in the hospital blood bank too... "
"Thank god, Sheila you forgot I have the same blood?"
Oh yes she has...
"Come, I will give her blood."
A relief displayed in the Hollands' faces. The only confused face was that of Sheila's. She has noticed the resemblance in Lea and Jane before. 'Could that be possible? I know about her pre martial affair and she was pregnant. But none knows what happened to the baby. I thought she might have aborted it. What if not?"
Sheila slowly moved to the laboratory. She saw the technician sitting there. She requested something to him and have him some money.
After 4 hours Lea became conscious. She ate some porridge. The doctor prescribed some medicine for increasing the blood count and she got discharged. Before leaving she requested shiela to meet Jane because it was she who saved Lea. Jane's hubby Mr Edward Miller is hospitalized with some viral infection.
They entered his room and greeted them. Jane and Lea shared a lot of common features and they felt to be like mom and daughter. Edward clearly noticed this and wondered. He thought his daughter has no resemblance with her.
Edward does not like Hollands. Mainly because Fred's hatred to Leena.
Lea politely thanked her and they went back to home.
She fell asleep fast as she was too tired. Joseph noticed the confused Sheila. Though he did not ask her anything during their way back home, he has decided to talk to her what happened. Fred also noticed this sudden change in his mother.
After dinner Fred went to his parent's room. Hanna is now sleeping with her grandparents. Joseph and Sheila seemed to be in a serious discussion.
"Mom, I want to talk to you. ". She guessed what it can be.
"She is sleeping here. Let's go to dad's study and discuss. Come…" She replied.
At Joseph's Study:
Fred: "What happened mom, why your face was confused when we went to meet Mr Edward Miller.", Fred was curious.
Shiela: "You know who Lea's parents are? Their whereabouts? Of courses she is from an orphanage, but is there any way to find it out?" Sheila asked.
Fred: "As far as I know, even Lea don't know who they are, she was left at the orphanage entrance when she was around 1 day old."
Shiela: "Jesus, how could they do such a thing to a little kid." She was sad.
Fred: "They? Who ?" something is being cooked up, Fred felt.
Shiela: "You remember Aunt Jane gave blood too Lea"
Fred: "Yes I do and I am thankful to her. We should keep in touch with her because in case during her delivery if we need blood we need her help."
Shiela: "You are right and you also know that she is my best friend."
Fred: I do mom and I also know that she was interested to get her daughter Leena married to me. I hate that show off thing.
He really don't like her.
Shiela: Jane never forced you. It was Edward who was after this and his aim was purely business tie up. If he know in advance that Jane is helping your wife, he wouldn't have allowed her to do so.
