Chapter 2 Miscarriage

Leo lies on the hospital bed with her eyes wide open, she is definitely lost in thoughts as her phone has been ringing non stop until a nurse comes into the ward and taps her " madam, your phone is ringing" said the nurse. Leo is brought back to reality from the tap as she quickly picks up her phone and sees "My life" as the caller id.

She answers the call with so much pain in her heart. "Hello! Leo what is wrong with you? I have been calling you all day" Kunle said angrily over the phone. Leo clears her throat and tries to suppress the tears building up in her eyes. "Kunle, i am at the hospital" she replied him and drops the phone. "Hospital? What are you..." Kunle asked until he discovers the call has been dropped. He quickly picks up his car keys, rushes out of the house, enters into his car and zooms off to the hospital.

Kunle gets to the hospital, he was able to come straight to the hospital as he and Leo have their family Doctor in that hospital. He approaches the Nurse sitting at the nurse station and asks for his wife. The nurse knowing him directs him to Leo's ward without much question.

Kunle barges into Leo's room and sees her on the bed with a drip passed into her body. He stays glued to a spot as he thinks Leo's is dead or something until she opens her eye and gives him a wicked hateful look. He moves closer to her with relief and tries to caress her face but Leo ignores him.

"What happened to you sugar? Are you okay? Did you have an attack again? Kunle asked, " Kunle i lost the child.. AGAIN" she said emphasising the last word. Kunle's facial expression changes " What!! Again? Why are you so unfortunate? Another miscarriage which makes it the second one in our three years of marriage, Did the misfortune of your family follow you into marriage?" Kunle said angrily.

"What did you just say?" Leo asked standing up to face her husband. " How dare you open your useless mouth and tell me to my face that i am unfortunate, you leave me alone in that godforsaken house and you go around fucking the bitches you call mistress and you expect me to be sane? Not to think? Not to be depressed? Not to loose a baby we both know i am not strong enough to carry knowing fully well the nature of my health and yet you stand here with your useless mouth and call me names, if only you can concentrate on me like the way you concentrate on those useless fools you carry about, the latest one is Linda abi? I know because she doesn't back off from threatening me to leave you for her, i

I called you earlier today but she picked your call and your five minute sexual escapade has cost you another chance to father a child" She replied angrily while crying.

" You called today" Kunle asked suprised, " Yes i called you and the woman you were fucking picked, I hate you,I hate you, you mon..." she continued saying until she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, she cries out in pain, Kunle tries to touch her but she pushes him away from her. " Leo you need to rest" Kunle said in a worried tone. Leo ignores him, struggles to hold in the pain until she suddenly slumps on the floor, Kunle runs to her, tries to wake her but fails. He calls out the doctor in fear.

Kunle is seen in the Doctor's office, he is looking so worried, the Doctor comes into the office and have his seat. Kunle asks the Doctor on the condition of Leo. " Kunle, your wife is still pregnant" the Doctor said. " Pregnant? See Kelvin, please explain better, what do you mean Leo is still pregnant, she told me she had a miscarriage so how come she is still pregnant" Kunle asked with a confused tone. "Yes, that was what we saw earlier when i ran a test on her,but currently i am seeing that the baby is still intact just that the baby is in a very delicate state, any little stress or problem could cause the death of both mother and child, so congratulations bro, life has given you a third chance, make wise use of this chance" the doctor said with a smile. Kunle is definitely shocked as he stares at the Doctor strangely.
