The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 98

Donna was left dumbfounded as she watched Liam and his friends leave the restaurant.

” What did I say, why would he assume that I know his wife. Aarg!”

” So you do know his wife, huh?”

Her friend asked with a sly smile, she was happy to receive the front row as the drama unfolds. She wanted to know who was this lucky woman who was able to tie down the beast himself. It surely couldn’t not be the Ciara she was thinking about, right? The one whose husband left her to fend for herself while she was pregnant. The one who only earned a minimum wage and was useless to even replace a better paying job than that.

Well although it was the same woman, what she and everyone else didn’t was that Ciara did not need that job herself as she was already well-off, from her own creations and movies she made.

” something like that, we are actually friends but that’s not the point.”

This friend of hers was narrow minded, although they grew up together and were able to attain the success they currently have, Donna’s friend was not as polite and humble as she was but was purely mean and would always look down on people who were not as successful as she was.

She was also Ciara’s colleague who held a management position in the company. Everytime she saw her, disgust will rise up from the bottom of her belly. Apart from the ring that she wore, everything about Ciara spelt poverty which was why she never understood the reason why Donna would be friends with her. “

” friends? So why do you keep the other pregnant Ciara if you have friends like that. Being friends with useless people like her will embarrass you in front of people like Mr Jones and his wife. “

Donna frown at such a mean comment that her friend just mentioned.

” You have to watch what you say, never judge someone because of how they look. “

” But Dee it’s not how she looks, that girl just poor. I know because she works under me, I even know how much she makes in a month. I wonder how she pays for her doctors appointment…. Owh my god, you don’t do it for free now do you?. “

Donna laughed it off, she wished not to hear someone belittle her friend like that, but still didn’t know how to defend Ciara without releasing some of her private files.

” You know Ciara is way capable and richer than the two of us combined. Don’t do anything that you might regret in the future OK.”

‘ Richer than the two of us combined? Owh come on! How is that even possible.’

She felt that Donna was just fooling around, if Ciara was as Rich as Donna claims her to be, why would she be still working under so much pressure while pregnant.

” Girl you know that’s a lie. If she’s rich, why is she still working?”

” I’m pretty sure she has her own reasons for that.”

Donna was in no position to disclose Ciara’s business, but she knew that everything will come out in due time so she decided to just let her friend be in the dark for a while. They ate up their meal and left after sometime of bickering about Ciara’s life.

Back at the hotel when Liam and his friends got home, he started hacking in to the doctor’s practice system where he found Ciara’s appointment dates and all of her details including her residential address and work place. So he jotted everything down, but since he didn’t understand all the medical terms used on her file, Liam decided to pay the doctor a visit on the following day. He wanted to know if everything was fine with his wife and child.

When Donna arrived at her office office the following day, she got the shock of her life. She had never expected to replace someone already sitting comfortably in her office waiting for her, worst of all they didn’t even have an appointment. She still wanted to relax and take her time to herself before her first patient’s appointment but know there was someone in her office and she had to attend to him.

” We meet again Doctor, no need to worry as I’m not here to stay but need a few information about my family then I will be on my way.”

Donna heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she heard that. She was glad that Liam wasn’t there to create chaos but to inquire about his family. Since he was the patient’s husband Donna was more than happy to help him out, so she stepped in and closed her office door.

“Good to see you again Mr Jones, how may I assist you?”

Seeing that the Doctor in front of him was willing to help him without any greed or wanting to be bribed, Liam continued freely.

” My wife, you know her right?.. How is she and how is the kid? Are they both healthy? “

He shot a series of questions leaving the doctor’s head spinning.

” Cici is doing fine, both her and the baby are doing fine but…”

She paused for a while which left Liam panicked and moved closer to the edge of his chair. He tried to conceal his emotions and be serious.

” Doctor you better get straight to the point, what do you mean, but? Talk What happened to them? . “

” well nothing too bad, really. Cee is overworking herself, she really doesn’t need to work and can just stay home till she gives birth but what she is doing right now is also stressing the baby and could potentially lead to early birth. We both know how dangerous that can be to both mother and child. “

” what you are telling me is that Ciara needs to stop writing? “

Liam knew it would be hard to get Ciara to stop doing the one thing she loved the most, she even chose to be without a family than to stop writing.

” Sir I don’t think you understand me, it’s not the writing that is straineous to her body, but it’s the environment she works in. She is now a junior editor for a small company, and it seems like some of her colleagues mistreats her. Maybe you can talk to her.”

Liam was confused and angry at the same time, he didn’t understand why Ciara would put herself in so much stress and pressure but also angry at the people who are abusing her.

” Since you are calling her Cee and know so much about her, I’ll assume that you are not only her Doctor, right? “
