Jillian's Pov
I began to tremble , the cellphone in my hands fell and my eyes became blurry. Han quickly pick it up and dialed Joan's number. I pace about, Maureen doing no better at all as her face got white in shock and horror.
I have dressed jack in one of his pajamas while Maureen and han has excuse us.
I could hear han speaking to Joan on my cellphone. He hang up and i stop to look at him.
" He will be here shortly " I heard han says calmly. I fret and couldn't help but feel agitated. Many thoughts on my mind that i couldn't think straight.
I stop pacing to stare at Jack who seem to be in a deep slumber but no. He wasn't sleeping, he's unconscious.
I'm sure there are different between the two. I felt a soothing hand behind me and i turn to meet Han face.
" Calm down , he will live. He is Jack Mayor... Remember? " He said trying to ease the tension that is already growing inside me.
I nodded in response, I'm ready to burst into tears at any slight of provocation. Finally the door open and Joan come in.
He quickly Ran to the bedside before signalling us to go out.
Han step out and I'm about to do the Same when i noticed Maureen who still stood. I walk to her trying to encourage her to come out but she stood still.
" I'm not going anywhere, i want to keep an eye on him " she said with her chin up.
" Come on, don't be like this. He will be fine " i told her gently and she turn to me with tears sliding down her cheek.
I look away sniffing to stifled a sob. I finally succeeded in exiting the room with Maureen. We stood in front of Jack's room waiting patiently for Joan to come out.
The guest room door open and Janes came out wearing a short and transparent blouse that revealed too much. I roll my eyes tiredly as she walk towards us.
" I need to see jack " shey said trying to walk into the room. I pull her away roughly glaring at her.
" He is sleeping , you shouldn't disturb him " i replied her with a tone of finality.
She turn to Maureen who gave her a narrow glare then at Han whose face was expressionless. She finally gave up and walk into her room grunting in annoyance.
I'm sure Jack was only sick because of the stress and hard times he has been passing through lately.
Joan finally call for us and we walk in.
We waited staring at him to give us an answer.
" To my relief and great happiness Jack Mayor sickness is not too serious. He has not been taking good care of his health lately so it is only normal for him to be like this but i will prescribe for him some drugs. So do not worry. He will be fine " he said smiling.
I sat at the edge of the bed in great relief, no word could express the way I felt when i heard Joan's words. I turned to Maureen who just stood crying silently in joy while for the first time i saw han smile.
He sure must be Happy about the news. Joan gave us some instructions and strictly warn us to make Jack rest. Then finally he stare at me in awe.
" You are very strong. To think you will be walking around by now from your a bullet injury makes me wonder "
I smile at him brightly.
" I'm not throughly healed though , I still feel some pain on the spot " I said to him.
We speak for Another minutes before he finally left.

Jack's Pov
I woke up with a pale face. I look around , no one is with me. Looking down on my body , i frown.
I'm sure i didn't dress up before going to bed. I glanced at my hand.
Drip!
I snatch it away and stood up, feeling quite dizzy i walk into the kitchen where the laughter is coming from.
They stop suddenly when they saw me. Janes isn't there and i get the message that both Jill and Maureen must have been harsh to her.
Not that she deserves their kindness anyway. I walk into the room looking at their Frozen expression.
" Why are you looking at me like that? " I asked jill and Maureen smiling. The next sound i heard was Maureen crying while Jill walk to me offering me a hug. I chuckled softly.
" I'm not going to die, come on " i assure them. I patted Jill on the back before pulling her away. " I'm hungry, is the dinner ready ? " I asked rubbing my stomach. It has been a while i ate.
The lord knows i have been very busy this days and Thanks to the Mikes my appetite isn't as it was. To my delight Maureen quickly serve me some food while Jill encourage me to sit on the kitchen stool. I roll my eyes before taking a morsel.
I was enjoying the conversation and dinner when Janes walk in. She stood still when she saw my face.
" Jack, you... Look sick " she said dashing to me and caressing my cheek. I slowly turn to meet Jill's glare.
" I'm fine, just tired " i said getting on my feet to break the contact but Janes won't let me be.
" I will call you a doctor, I'm worried " she said still caressing my face. I know she was doing that on purpose. I heard Jill dash out, slamming the door.
I sighed before going out to chase her.
" Jill wait up " i grab her wrist gently pulling her to me.
She stop to stare at me, waiting for me to say something. The sounds of a car interrupt our moment.
I frown in confusion, who is it?
I walk into the living room, waiting for the guest. The door open and the man step in.
Mr Wilson.
I took a long stride towards him immediately, showing my respect.
His expression was of anger but when he saw my face his anger disolved into concerned. His tailored black suit scream of wealth.
" Are you sick? Look at your face. Is that why you haven't been working? Putting your company in the hands of a bad man? "
I look away guiltly.
" I'm sorry for not working hard sir , i will do my best from now on " i said hanging my head.
He look at me for some seconds As if making a decision.
" Are you okay enough to come to the company tomorrow? "
" Yes, of course i am. " I answered eagerly
He must have noticed my twitching face because he sighed.
" I heard Maureen is back "
I froze in shock.
How did he know? Mr Wilson for one thing never like Maureen because he as well knows the hard time I passed through during her absent.
I barely nodded.
" No wonder you have been busy, I learnt the mikes have been giving you a hard time eversince she is back. How about you sent her away to one of your villa ? "
I turn to him. If he has heard the information, it will be none other than Donald.
I clenched my hands into a fist.
" I can't send her away, she is pregnant " i told her but he didn't appear to be surprise.
" If you want to keep her by your side then you don't need to keep her in hiding. Get her a job and let her start living "
I turn to him in panicked
" That would mean announcing to the public that she is back. You know the public won't take slightly if they know she is having a child out of wedlock "
" Exactly, and i heard Zach Mike owns the pregnancy. I will prepare for them a wedding. The groom is rather happy to marry her "
I froze again. The mikes at it again.
" But sir i can't. You know how the mikes is ..." I start to protest but he cut me off.
" stop! Will you rather see mayors creation fall? " He asked glaring. " She should have known better than that. Get her prepare. You will hear from the groom soon " he said walking out.
My shoulder sag at the situation.
I exhaled deeply, the mikes! I lamented.
