Chapter 40 - Big lair

The doctor, is a middle-aged woman with a kind face, she examines Austin and reviews the test results. She turns to the nurse and says:

"Given the patient's prolonged unconsciousness and no history of heavy drinking, we need to rule out several possibilities. I'm concerned about the risk of alcohol poisoning, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, and hypoglycemia.

The doctor turns to the nurse and instructe please administer IV fluids to rehydrate the patient and correct any electrolyte imbalances. We'll also need to monitor the patient's blood sugar levels and cardiac activity closely."

The doctor went out of the emergency room to met Williams and Matt "the next 24-48 hours are crucial. We need to closely monitor the patient's condition and address any potential complications promptly. I'll keep you updated on the patient's progress."

So my brother is going to be okay right? Yes if no complications arise. Thank you doctor, no need to thank me is my job with that she left.

Thank God, that was so scary am going back to the company since Austin is fine, once he wakes up call me... But I don't think he is waking up anytime soon.

Then go home and prepare dinner for Paige and Makayla then we can both come back tomorrow morning to check on him...

I can't go back home what will I tell Paige and Makayla, when they ask me of Austin and more over I can't leave Austin alone in the hospital.

Come on Williams Austin is not only here they are so many doctors and nurses to monitor him and also staying back here is useless, since Austin will be sleeping why don't you go be useful and cook dinner for Makayla and Paige they need you the most right now, and don't worry I will ask the doctor personally to assign a nurse to take care of Austin...

But what will I tell Makayla and Paige if they ask of Austin? That is not a problem for you, I know you will handle it so effortlessly I trust you with making excuses.

Williams went back home while Matt went back to the company to hold pressing issues.

Uncle Williams you are back, yes my little princess so where is your auntie Makayla? In her room okay am going to change my clothes so I can make dinner... Uncle you want to prepare dinner?

Yes, but Papa always does that or isn't he coming back for dinner? Yes, your Papa ask me to come make dinner for his one and only love because he is having dinner with one of his new client. Okay uncle Williams.

[That was so close how did I even come up with that I have to Parise myself I sure know how to come out of this kind of situation well one down one left to go good luck to me].

Williams finish making dinner and ask Paige to go call Makayla. Paige sweetie go call your auntie Makayla for dinner okay.

The three of them sat eating dinner peacefully, until Makayla notice Austin sit empty.

What about Austin isn't he joining us for dinner? Oh yes he is not Austin will be coming back really late today there are some new client he is having dinner with.

Really? Yes. WOW! So you made this food all by yourself? Yes I did. You can ask Paige she is my one and true witness right sweetie?

Yes uncle Williams made the food. Then I have to say you have really improve this teste just like Austin cooking... You can say that again.

Ella didn't sleep and kept checking new York time a few minutes after Mitchell came back from work, her phone started ringing seeing the caller she smiles and pick the call.

I can't believe you haven't slept yet... Yes I wanted to ask for your advice how should I approach him tomorrow, should I ask him out on a date?

Wooh! Calm down young lady don't do that first you have to find out if the guy is equally interested in before you make any moves...

Oh so I can't ask him out yet? Mmm find out if he is interested or make him interested in you.

And girlie I need your help with something I just saw my little brother text saying he has gotten admission am sending his number to you please help me look out for him he will be resuming in the next 8 days.

Okay sure, Ella said with a yawn. Look at you yawning so wide, am going to disconnect the call now so you can go to bed goodnight.

The next day Paige woke up to find Makayla and Williams in her room and they immediately scream happy birthday 🥳 Paige. Awwn 🥰 thank you uncle Williams and auntie Makayla I feel really happy waking up like this today, what about Papa?

Oh Paige your Papa have to be in the company very early so he went first but he promise to come back very early to celebrate your birthday with you what do you say about that? That is great am going to get ready for school first.☺️

[Ha! I have turned into a big lair all because of Austin he better wakes up soon because I don't know how long I can keep up with this lie's. Right now they are both not suspecting any thing but Makayla will start suspecting soon ]

I'm also going to go prepare for work I can't afford to be late so break fast is on you to prepare. With Williams left quickly leaving no chance for Makayla to complain.

Williams got to work earlier today but Ella was already there, when she saw him she gave him a very warm smile but he ignores it and focus on his work.

Ella who was expecting him to react well was met with a disappointment and she couldn't help but question herself. [ Don't tell me I got him in trouble and he hates me for that, but I was just trying to help and I meant no harm but wait he doesn't seem like he got in trouble with our head. Or is he ignoring me on purpose?...]

Ella stop staring at Williams and took a deep breath before focusing on her work.
