Chapter 169
What does the result say? Does our blood match?” Lisa asked the nurse and the nurse sighed softly staring at Lisa before she spoke.
“Yes, it matches,” the nurse said and Lisa heaved a sigh of relief. Just then the Doctor walked in with a smile on his face.
“Your blood matches him, we should begin everything immediately, ” the doctor said and Lisa nodded in response.

Hours later, Lisa lay weakly on the bed with Alfred sitting beside her. He watched Lisa who was looking as weak as hell. She still hasn’t gained so much strength after she donated the blood. He had told her not to do it but she was just too stubborn.
“Alfred I need water, ” she said weakly and Alfred took a glass and a bottle of water which was beside the bed. He poured the water into the glass and helped her sit properly on the bed before giving her the water to drink. After she had drunk the water, he dropped the cup beside her.
“What about the kids? Who’s with them?” Lisa asked, looking worried as she noticed it was night.
“You should worry less about them, Dina had taken them home with her. They’re in safe hands. You should focus on recovering first” Alfred said and Lisa nodded In response.
“What about Daniel?” Lisa asked and Alfred sighed softly. He’s going to be fine.
“Do you have a hint of who must have hit his car with the truck?” Lisa asked
“No, the driver ran immediately after it happened. The police are still investigating it. They will find whoever did this to him. I’ll make sure of that ” Alfred said and gave Lisa a reassuring smile. Lisa nodded and forced herself to smile.
Alfred helped her lay back on the bed. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
After Lisa had slept off, Alfred pecked her lightly on her cheeks before standing up from the chair he was sitting on. He gave Lisa one last glance before walking out of her ward to Daniel’s ward.
He stood outside Daniel’s ward as he watched him. The ward was built with transparent glass so it was easier to see him. A Lot of wires were connected to his body and the machine connected to him could be heard beeping.
He was on oxygen as he could not breathe all by himself. His head was bandaged as was his leg. He was connected to a drip and his mother was sitting beside him with tears in her eyes.
Alfred stared at Daniel with pity in his eyes. He must be in so much pain. He wondered who must have done this to him. The police had been saying it was an accident but everyone knows deep down it wasn’t an accident, someone was after his life but they didn’t know who. Someone tried to kill him.
But on second thought, Alfred began to wonder where Daniel was coming from that morning when he had the accident, but he quickly shook off the thoughts. Wherever he was coming from didn’t matter at the moment, what matters Is who was behind it and he had promised Lisa he would do anything to find out who did it.
Alfred cleaned the tears that gathered in his eyes. Just then he caught a glimpse of Mrs. Bella staring at him. She had noticed him already. He opened the door to the ward and walked in slowly.
Mrs. Bella smiled at Alfred. It had been ages since he saw Alfred and that was the time he and his son had issues and they had to move out of the country. Mrs. Bella was a friend of Alfred’s mom, Laura before she died of cancer.
She was surprised Alfred was in town.
“He didn’t tell me you were in Singapore,” Mrs. Bella said as she turned to Daniel and Alfred stared at her without saying a word.
“Do you believe he’s going to be fine again?” Mrs. Bella asked, looking scared and worried.
“He’s going to be fine,” Alfred said and Mrs. Bella nodded in response and Just then silence took over.
“I just hope he wakes up soon so he can see Lisa. They were both having issues that’s why he hasn’t been staying home. Lisa has done a great job by donating her blood for him, I’ll forever be grateful for her saving my son’s life” Mrs. Bella said and paused. She looked away from Daniel who was lying unconscious and then turned to Daniel.
“Daniel loves Lisa so much, she’s his happiness and the only reason he exists. I’ll make sure I do everything in my power to make sure they both end up together” Mrs. Bella said and Alfred stared at her without saying a word.
“I had seen you with Lisa earlier on, are you guys both related in any way?” Mrs. Bella asked cluelessly. She didn’t know what was going on if she had known. Daniel didn’t tell his mother I am the father of the quadruplets, Alfred thought as he stared at Mrs. Bella, contemplating if to answer her question or not.
Just then Alfred heard his phone ring, it was a call from Mr. Luke. Alfred felt so happy the call came in, it was a perfect excuse for Mrs. Bella’s question.
“I’ll answer this” Alfred said and was about to leave when Mrs. Bella spoke.
“I’m planning a big wedding ceremony for them already. When Daniel wakes up and has recovered, he and Lisa are going to get married. I would love you to be Daniel’s Best man ” Mrs. Bella dropped the bomb and Alfred turned to her at once. His eye color and facial expression already changed.
He quickly looked away from her and walked out of the ward. The phone call had already ended. He put the phone back in his pocket. He sat on a chair that was close to Lisa’s ward, lots of thoughts going through his mind.
“Mrs. Bella wants trouble,” Alfred thought angrily
