Chapter 88
Just lay down alright. I’ll be home now in a minute. I’m coming to take you to the hospital” Daniel said and ended the call.
She dropped the phone on the bed and closed her eyes then drifted to sleep.
Daniel is seen waiting impatiently for his driver. He had called him to come to pick him and he said he was on his way.
He was looking so worried about Lisa. He just can’t wait for the driver to come so he can get home in time.
Just then Leonard walked out of the building, he was on a phone call. Immediately he saw Daniel, he ended the phone call and walked towards him.
“Mr. Daniel. Seems like you’re waiting for someone” Leonard said as he stood beside him.
” yeah, I’m waiting for my driver, I was just about to leave, ” daniel said
“You’re leaving so soon? And you’re leaving without your Lil sister. What’s her name again? Lisa” Leonard said
“It’s an emergency,” Daniel said, and just then his car arrived.
“Okay then, I’ll call you,” Leonard said and Daniel nodded.
“I look forward to doing business with you then,” Daniel said and opened the door to the car and hopped in, without spending any more seconds, the driver drove the car.
“What took you so long?” Daniel asked the driver.
“I’m sorry sir,” the driver said and Daniel stared at him for some seconds and then looked away without saying another word to him.
Not quite long, the car screeched to a halt in front of Daniel’s mansion. Daniel hopped out of the car and rushed inside the house.
“Daniel are you alright?” Ma’am Lois asked
“Yeah, I’m fine. Where’s Lisa?” He asked
“She’s in her room I guess. I didn’t see her come in but I only heard her voice when she was making a phone call so I assumed she was in” ma’am Lois said and he nodded and was about to walk away when ma’am Lois called him and he turned to her.
“Your mom came to pick nova when you left today. She said they were both going somewhere and that you should call her when you get home” ma’am Lois said and Daniel nodded before climbing the stairs to Lisa’s room.
Immediately he entered her room and he met her sleeping.
“Lisa” he called as he sat close to her. He touched her hands and boom he quickly withdrew his hands. Lisa’s skin was very hot.
“Lisa you have a fever, ” Daniel said and Lisa opened her eyes which were looking so red.
“Oh my goodness Lisa,” Daniel said as he saw how pale her face was looking. He wondered why she was sick now, she was so healthy this morning before they left for the party and now she’s sick.
“Lisa, did you drink at the party?” Daniel asked worriedly
“No, I didn’t, ” she said as her voice sounded brittle. Like she was about to cry.
“Did you get into a fight with Tessa?” Daniel asked
“No, I didn’t,” she said as the memories of Alfred came running into her head. How she had seen him today and how he would have seen her too. Maybe by now, she would be back in his bed as a slave if he had seen her.
She burst into tears.
“Shhhh, calm down. I’ll take you to the hospital now” Daniel said as he carried her in his arms and walked out of the room.
“Is she alright?” Ma’am Lois was surprised to see Lisa in Daniel’s arms and they were heading out.
“She’s sick. I’m taking her to the hospital now. Please prepare her favorite food before we come back from the hospital ” Daniel said and ma’am Lois nodded.
Daniel walked out of the house with Lisa in her arms. She opened the door to the back seat of the car and helped Lisa sit on it. He sat close to her holding her.
“The hospital, ” Daniel said and the driver nodded before taking off.

“Doctor, how’s she?” Daniel asked the doctor
“She is okay. She’s just stressed, that’s all. I gave her some drugs already and I prescribed the others. You should get it from the nearest pharmacist ” the doctor said as he gave him a small sheet of paper.
“Ok, thank you, doctor,” Daniel said
“And another thing, uhm, she and the babies are in perfect condition. She’s Going to be discharged this evening ” the doctor said
“Babies?” Daniel asked to be sure of what he just heard.
“Yes, she’s pregnant with four babies. Quadruplets” the doctor said and Daniel opened his mouth wide in shock.
“Oh my goodness, four babies” he whispered and the doctor smiled at him.
“Congratulations, ” the doctor said and with that, he left.
Immediately after the doctor left Daniel walked inside Lisa’s ward and met her sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed. Her face was looking better.
He stared at her in surprise, he couldn’t believe Lisa was pregnant with quadruplets. He remembered the day they went shopping and how he had told Lisa she might have more than one baby in her stomach but she doubted her and said it was only one baby.
Daniel felt so happy for Lisa. Babies are blessings from God. Lisa had been blessed already. He couldn’t believe this. He was so happy that he just can’t wait for Lisa to give birth so he could hold the four princes in his arms.
Lisa groaned softly as she opened her eyes. Her eyes drifted to Daniel who was smiling all to himself. And it was like he was speaking with himself smiling even though she couldn’t hear what he was saying to himself.
Maybe he’s won a multimillionaire contract, Lisa thought and tried standing up from the bed.
“No, you should rest,” Daniel said as he rushed towards her and held her then helped her lay properly on the bed.
“How are you feeling now?” Daniel asked, smiling.
“I’m feeling much better, ” Lisa said softly and Daniel nodded.
“What’s up with you? Why are you smiling? Did you win a multimillion-dollar contract?” Lisa asked curiously.
“No, it’s quadruplets, Lisa, ” Daniel said and Lisa stared at him confused
“What quadruplets? Did someone here give birth to quadruplets?” Lisa asked
“No Lisa, you’re pregnant with quadruplets ” Daniel broke the news and Lisa opened her eyes in shock.
“What??”
