My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

(S3): Accident

In the afternoon at the office, Jerome is shocked to see Wylon, Aine's father . He did not expect the man to be able to find him here after he had been hiding from him for years.

Wylon was still looking at Jerome. He could not believe his son-in-law was still alive.

" Jerome."

" Wylons."

" What's going on? Why are you still alive?"

" I survived the accident."

" What? I can't believe this. Do you know, Aine is so sad you died in a car accident."

" I'm sorry."

" We've lied to us" he said angrily.

" I've made a lie and it's my biggest mistake."

" Why are you lying to us?"

" I was forced to do it, because Aine couldn't give me a child to carry on my family's descent, because Aine had heart disease, so I planned the accident and pretended to be dead, then leave Haiti to start my new life here."

A loud slap landed on Jerome's cheek.

" You deserve it. I thought all along, you were a good daughter-in-law. It turns out not only because for the sake of your ambition to have a child, you have the heart to lie and hurt Aine's feelings."

" I'm really sorry."

"Your regrets are now of no use. Aine is dead. Do you know that since you left, Aine had been in a state of sadness, and she didn't even have the spirit to live anymore. I finally decided to send her to acting school in Los Angeles, because I knew Aine really liked acting and I was grateful to have decided that I wasn't wrong, Aine loved her role art school so much and survived when she could forget about you.

Aine's hard work has paid off. She became a very famous actress. I'm proud of it, but he hasn't forgotten you. I always see her shedding tears when I see your picture."

Wylon's facial expression turned increasingly grim. " Even though Aine always tried to smile, but I knew the sadness of her heart. Until finally he died in his apartment, of a heart attack."

" Before Aine died, she came here. He knew I was alive, because my picture was already spread in business magazines and newspapers, and he came to see me and Aine was very angry with me. Finally he asked me to go back to him, but I couldn't go back, because I was married again."

" So now you're married again?"

" Yes and I have children too."

" You have what you want, your child. Is having a child so important to you? So you're determined to engineer a car accident and you're presumed dead?"

" Very important. As you know, I'm the only remaining descendant of the Hunt family, so I must have children to continue my family."

" Why don't you ask Aine to leave nicely instead of lying to her?"

" Aine refused to part with me. I told him this once, but he refused."

Wylon closed her eyes holding back her sense of regret to Jerome. " You're a very selfish guy just thinking about your own interests and not thinking about Aine's feelings."

" I'm really sorry."

" This is our last meeting. Goodbye bye!"

Wylon left Jerome's office with his servant, not wanting to linger here and losing control to control his emotions that were already at the end of his crown.

In the morning as usual Erika went to school, she planned to apply for a few days off work to take care of her child, because her caregiver could not take care of her, because she was sick. Erika was in front of her school. Already many cars entered the school page.’’Good morning Miss Roberts teacher, "what a girl.

"Valentina,’’.

"So I saw Teacher Roberts look like he was daydreaming. Is there a problem?’’

"Ah there is no. We better get in."

Valentina nodded. The sound of the school bell has been rang.’’ See you later, teacher!"

Valentina got into her class.

At the school break Erika gave an announcement to her drama club that she was going on leave and made her students sad, because for several days there was no teacher who taught them to act.

"As long as I'm gone you guys keep practicing, I want you to perform at the festival at school. Do you guys understand?’’

"We understand,’’answer them simultaneously.

"Now disband." Students began to separate .

’’Bu teacher, "call Valentina.

"What's up?’’

"Where will the teacher go? What's the long go?’’

"The teacher won't be going anywhere and will be going to school again soon."

" Aki will definitely miss Master."

"I am too."

Erika smiled as she stroked Valentina's hair.

"It's time I left. See you, Valentina!’’

"See you, teacher!’’

Two days later

Valentina was standing in front of her school gate waiting for her mother to come pick her up. The little girl had a sullen face, because her mother had come to pick her up late.

" Your mother hasn't come yet?"ask the teacher.

Valentina shook her head.

" We'll wait for your mother in a minute maybe the streets are jammed."

Valentina nodded her head.

" The teacher went inside to get the bag."

Valentina who was tired and tired of waiting finally out the school gate walked back and forth on the side of the road. Every now and then his little feet kicked at the pebble.

" uh. Mother where the hell? It came a long time ago,"he murmured.

From the back there was a silver sedan that drove at high speed and grazed Valentina until the girl fell and was unconscious. Fresh red blood flowed profusely from his head. Her teacher's mother screamed hysterically and people started popping up to help.

Not long after the ambulance arrived. The little body was helpless as medics carried it into the car." Hang on, baby, " said the teacher. The ambulance left Valentina's school. The sound of sirens roaring through the crowded streets.

A few minutes later, a black sedan was thrown in front of the school. A woman who looked very graceful got out of the car to pick up her daughter. He was late, because the road was jammed. The school was empty and there was no student.

The woman is anxious not to find her daughter anywhere until a school janitor comes to her. " Can I help you?"

" I'm looking for my daughter."

" What's Mother's daughter's name?"

" Valentina."

" I should have come half an hour ago, because there was a traffic jam, so I came late to pick him up."

The janitor looked worried and sad. " What's up? Did something happen?"

" So, there was a girl who was dragged into a car and unconscious."

" What?"

The woman's face turned pale instantly. " Where is the boy now?"

" It's been taken to the hospital."

The woman's phone rang, and she answered. " Yes." Yeah."

" I'm Liza, Valentina's teacher's mother. I want to tell you that your daughter had an accident right now at Morningside Hospital."

"Ba-good. I'll be there soon."

The woman hung up her phone and walked hurriedly with an anxious face towards her car. In the car, she immediately told her husband.

" Road!"his orders to Lincoln.

🧸🧸🧸

The woman walked hurriedly to the emergency room looking for her child with a feeling of uneasiness and panic. He then meets the female teacher Valentina who is waiting outside the room.

" Mrs Hunt."

" Where's Valentina?"

" The doctor's still checking on her."

" What exactly happened?"

Liza, Valentina's class representative, recounted the incident at noon when a car grazed her and left Valentina injured. Emily looks increasingly anxious and guilty, as she arrives late to pick up Valentina. He did not want anything to happen to his daughter, even though Valentina was not his biological child, but he considered her as his own.

The door opened, Emily and Liza standing by the doctor. " What about my daughter?"

" Daughter Mom is in a critical state and has a lot of blood loss and must immediately get a blood donor, because the blood supply that matches your daughter's blood is depleted."

Emily is getting anxious and doesn't want to lose Valentina. He rushed in to see the state of his daughter who lay weak and still unconscious.

" Dear wake up. It's Mother. "

Emily couldn't help but cry. His guilt re-entered in his heart.

" Valentina, the strong boy. He could have gone through his critical period."

A man suddenly entered the room and the man looked anxious and panicked at his daughter. " What happened to my daughter?"

" Calm yourself. Now Valentina is in a critical state and is losing a lot of blood. Valentina's doctor said she should get a blood donor soon."

Jerome approached the doctor. " I'm willing to donate my blood."

" all right. Your daughter's blood is Type O."

" O?"

" yes. Is there a problem?"

" My blood type is A and my wife's B, but why is my daughter's blood type 0?"

The doctor and nurse looked at each other with confused faces. " Your daughter's blood type is 0. You better find a donor soon. Excuse me!"

The man immediately approached his wife to ask for an acquittal. The doctor and nurse came out of the room.

" Emily, what is this? Is Valentina not my son?"

Emily was silent and just crying. What he feared all along would soon happen. During this time, she attempts to cover up Valentina's true identity to her husband.

" Reply answer me" he said angrily.

" I'm sorry. " Imily looked fearfully at her husband who had put on an angry face to her. " Surely Valentina is not our son."

"What do you mean?"

" Our son died at birth."

" What's?"angry shouting.

" I'm sorry. I was forced to find another baby to replace our child, because I knew, if you knew that our real child, you would be mad at me and would divorce me. I'm afraid of that."

" You've been lying to me all this time and it's unforgivable" Jerome said.

" I'm sorry mohom. I know, I was wrong, for lying to you all this time. I'm doing this to save our marriage."

" Emily, you've made me really sick of your lies. I'll take care of our divorce soon."

Emily shook her head and her face was soaked with tears. " Please don't do that. I don't want to part with you. I love you."

" My decision will not change."

" What about Valentina?"

Jerome looked at his daughter who was not his daughter anymore. Unfortunately, it's been gone since he found out Valentina wasn't his son.

" He's not my son and I don't care about him anymore. If you want you can take care of it yourself."

" Do you not love him anymore?"

" No."

" I don't believe this. How could your affection for him not be left in the least. He's a kid and doesn't know anything."

" I don't know the boy's origin."

" I don't know either, but Valentina is a good boy."

" If we're separated, you can take care of it, because I don't want to have a child who's not my son. After the boy's healed, you need to get out of my house."

Jerome was about to leave, and Emily fell unconscious. The doctors who examined her said Emily was pregnant and shocked them.

" Is my wife pregnant?"

" right. Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Hunt."

Emiliy and Jerome left the room. They were sitting outside still digesting the doctor's words earlier. She could not believe she was pregnant again.

" You can't leave me now, because I'm pregnant now."

" all right. Since you're pregnant, I'm not getting divorced with you."

Suddenly his face was happy. " really? Thank you, dear."

" But there are conditions."

Her happy face disappeared. "What conditions?"

" We have to hand Valentina over to someone else so that the boy can have a family to take care of him."

"What's? You mean we just threw Valentina away. "

"I don't want him as my son, because he's not my son."

Emily remained silent. She loves Valentina, but she doesn't want to lose her husband and doesn't want her child to lose her father.

" Are you not thinking about the child's feelings, if we don't want them. Valentina will be sad."

" We're handing Valentina over to the orphanage."

" What?"

" This is the best decision. Valentina will be well cared for there until waiting for the parents who want to adopt her."

" but...."

" If you refuse, we'll split up."

Emily could do nothing but obey her husband, because she was not ready to divorce and live alone with her children later. With a heavy heart, Emily accepts her husband's decision, although she is sad to have to part with Valentina for good. He wiped away the tears that came back.

Liza came out of the treatment room where Valentina was. He looked at Valentina's parents with a smile, although he now knew the problems between them, but he tried not to interfere.

" Valentina's got a blood donor."

" Really?"ask Emily.

" right. Hopefully after this Valentina will soon pass the critical period."

" Who donated his blood."

" i'm. It just so happens that my blood goal is the same as Valentina."

" Thank you."

Emily went into the room and saw Valentina. She hoped Valentina would recover soon, although in the end, she would never be with him again, while her husband did not want to see Valentina in the slightest and it made Emily sad.

He kissed Valentina with all the love he gave her. " You need to get well soon" he murmured.

Emily could not hold back her tears from falling. Jerome was waiting for him outside. She was deeply disappointed by her husband's drastically changed attitude towards Valentina after she found out she was not her son.

" Let's go home!"said Jerome.

Emily nodded and left without looking back. [ ]
