Marriage With A Evil Heart

Chapter 159 – The Accident



I lowered my eyelids and hid the tears that were welling up. I don’t know why, but I can’t control my emotions today.

The path was deep and the only sound was the sound of our footsteps.

“Jacob has been admitted to the hospital, he’s had so much damage, I’m afraid he’s going to have to be treated and recuperated for a while.” Blake spoke up, “I can accompany you to see him sometime!”

“He’s in Southend?” i asked, pausing myself for a moment to look over at Blake.

“Well, Southend can be relatively safe!”

“You’ll always be in Southend?” I asked him, which was what I was expecting.

He shook his head, “No way!”

I was about to ask where he was mostly, but didn’t.

“What do you want to do about that babysitter your parents have around.”

“I’ll consult my parents on that one first. And, not just yet, after all, Robert’s not done yet, until I take back what I want to take back, I guess! I’ll be sure to kick him out of my life once and for all!”

“You’re all safe until the ancient street program is finalized. So we’ve got the pace under control!” Blake was probably afraid I’d worry.

“Control the tempo? You mean…?” I had some trouble believing that.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Well!” Blake said softly, “I know this old street better than you do now!”

My heart roiled, which meant that he used to come here often, but why he came, I didn’t want to, and I didn’t dare to ask. Sometimes reverie gives one pleasure over reality.

Suddenly the sound of a group of kids playing came from a side alley, fast, a bike ‘whooshed’ out of the alley, and by the time I meant danger, it was too late, I let out a yelp and closed my eyes.

All I felt was a tightening at my waist, and the whole thing was already off the ground with both feet, only to hear another sweet, tender shriek and the crunching sound of a bike falling over in utter disarray!

I rushed to open my eyes only to see that I had been pinned under Blake’s armpit while he held my daughter tightly in his other arm, the bike down on the other side and a group of kids standing behind it.

They all looked at us with their jaws on the floor, too stunned to scream.

The scene embarrassed me to my core and hurriedly signaled Blake to put us down, but he looked over at me with a cozy grin on his face, “Scared?”

“Put me down now!” I whispered.

He then gently lowered me to the floor and I hurriedly reached for my daughter in his arms, “Lilly, is everything okay?”

Lilly looked at me with a startled look on her face, then at Blake, her little face flushed and she threw her arms around my neck, “Mom, that scared me.”

“You rode a bike?” I asked her as I looked at the fallen car on the ground, a little shocked, when did she learn to ride a bike?

“Next time you can’t ride in the alley! How dangerous!” I admonished her, and she tilted her little red face up and smiled, “Got it mom! You’re such a nag!”

Oliver ran over too, and took my hand, “Mommy, scared me, my sister almost ran into you!” Then, with a look of admiration, he looked over to, Blake, who was standing off to the side.

“Come on, say thank you! He’s a classmate of Mommy’s, Blake!”

The two cubs said thank you in unison. Blake reached up and stroked Oliver’s head.

“Blake, you’re amazing!” Oliver exclaimed heartily.

Blake smiled brightly, “Want to learn?”

Oliver’s eyes were full of exuberance, “May I?!”

“Of course, that’s what I learned when I was ten, so when you’re ten, will I teach you?” He asked softly.

“Yay!” Oliver jumped for joy.

The kids next to him were full of envy, chattering and discussing.

At that moment, Lilly picked up the bike, and she looked bemused at the already crooked handlebars.

Blake reached down and righted the bike, looked at it, then put the front wheel against one side wall with a slight twist, the handlebars returned to their original position, he looked over at Lilly, “Go ride on the main street, the alleys are dangerous, next time you won’t be so lucky!”

Lilly giggled, “Okay, let’s go!”

Like a child king, she yells and a group of kids are gone in a flash.
