His Despair by S. N. Nina Arthur (most popular ebook readers txt) 📖

“Please don’t thank me, Miss. Ellis,” he said with a warm smile,

“April, Come here dear,” he called while extending his hand towards April, she glanced at his hand but didn’t go to him. She looked at me like she was asking permission, it had confused me to no end. 

Why is she looking at me like that? I have never seen her doing this!

I smiled and nodded my head at her, She slowly stood up and walked up to him, “How are you doing?” he asked her while lifting her up and laying her on his lap. He looked like someone in their 30’s and he was very attractive, the way he was talking to April made it clear of his natural way with kids. 

It looks like he loves kids, My subconscious commented. 

Yeah, I replied while watching them. 

“I need to begin the diagnosis,” he said while looking at me, April was playing with a barbie doll he gave her. 

“Okay,” I replied, 

“I will have to take lab tests and Physical examination first…” he began and my mind travelled back to the day when I saw all those bruises on her body. 

I swallowed hard and glanced at April, “... and I will have to visit thrice a week for counselling and therapy,” he said, stroking her hair. I nodded my head while smiling at him. 

Day went on as he began taking tests and I just sat there while watching them. My eyes moved to my phone in my hands and sadness filled my heart when I saw notifications. I sighed deeply while looking away from my phone. 

***

I opened the door and walked inside my room, my eyes moved to my bed and what happened the previous night flashed in front of my eyes making my cheeks pink. I shook my head and walked towards my bathroom. I changed my clothes into something comfortable and climbed onto my bed. 

I sighed deeply while staring at the ceiling, Why am I sad? Why is his absence affecting me? 

Oh god!
