Eric just stared at the baby in his arms ...she opened her eyes and oh boy he fell in love ....she is so beautiful!
So fragile Eric thought.
After sometime the nurse asked if he wanted to sit down, Eric looked up from the baby, so captivated with her.
Doctor Robert then said, " you can stay as long as you like Mr. Crown, just put her on your chest. The warmth from your body and the bonding is good for her. I have to go attend to her mother, see what the other doctors are doing."
Eric nodded his head to the doctor letting him know he understood. He sat down and put the baby on his chest. She just settled down and slept back.
" Wow was this me?" Eric asked himself. He just closed his eyes, trying to relax.
Carrying her was very soothing, she moved a little on his chest then went back to sleep again.
Eric is awestruck at this little being on his chest.
It has been a long day, he hoped the baby's mother will be well.
...
At the other side of the glass, Andrew stared disbelieving at his boss carrying the baby and sitting down.
He just couldn't believe it, what's going on here? In his 6 years of working with Mr. Crown he has never seen him like this. He wished he was close so he could record the moment he thought.
Dr. Robert came out of the ward smiling, he looked at Andrew and said "your boss is obviously in love with that baby. You better look for somewhere to rest he is not coming out soon."
Andrew knew Dr. Robert was right from what he was is seeing, it seems like we might be here for some time, Eric looked very settled he thought. Andrew just thanked the doctor and started walking towards the entrance, he will wait in the car.
When Andrew got to where the car was packed , he noticed it was a different one. The driver Kelvin must have changed cars because the one involved in the accident had blood stains on it. Kevin unlocked the car door for Andrew, looking surprised as he was alone.
"Where is the Boss?"
"With the baby" Andrew answered ...
"What ? which baby ?" Kevin had a hideous expression on his face like.. "you must be joking".
Andrew brought Kelvin to speed and he was as surprised as he was. "Mr. Crown carrying a baby on his chest, that picture will sell for a million dollars" Kelvin commented.
Andrew just wondered about the woman they hit, he hopes she wakes up soon. The baby needs her mother and we have to find the baby's father or a relative to come pick the baby up.
" What happened to you? How come you didn't see the woman? Andrew suddenly asked Kelvin
Kelvin shook his head in surprise. " She just came out of nowhere, before I knew it she was knocked down. Still replaying the incident in my head, one moment the road was clear and the next she was there, I cannot explain it."
Kelvin looked distressed and disturbed.
Andrew nodded his head, he also was puzzled because he was sitting in the passenger sit, and also never saw anyone in front of them.
That brings the question " how did she get there? Or was she pushed? Who would push a pregnant woman into the road?
Andrew felt a headache coming on, and decided to laid-back back on the sit, trying to get comfortable to rest.
"Let's get some rest, we still have work in the morning." He reminded Kelvin.
After sometime Andrew slept off. Some one hour thirty minutesater he was woken up by Kelvin shaking his shoulder lightly and holding up his ringing phone in front of him.
Andrew looked at it, noticed it was Mr. Crown." Sir he answered as he picked up the call.
Eric Crown: "Where are you?"
Andrew: "In the car"
Eric Crown: "Okay I will be right there" He hung up
So, he is ready to go home now. It's almost 5am in the morning. Andrew watched from the car as the bodyguards escorted Eric toward the car. Eric got in and said, "hope you guys got some sleep because I'm not giving you the day off."
Not surprised, Andrew thought.
When they got to the Eric Crown"s villa, he just walked out without a word.
Andrew didn't bother going home; He just went to own quarters at the Villa. Oh yes, Andrew has a very comfortable room here for times like this.
About one hour later, Andrew was trying to shower when his phone rung, it was Eric Crown again.
Any update on identifying the women Eric asked as soon as Andrew picked up the call.
"Sir, I've got some news," Andrew said, his voice low.
"What is it?" Eric asked, his mind still preoccupied with the woman and the baby.
"We've managed to track down the car's CCTV footage," Andrew said. "It seems the woman was walking alone on the road when the accident happened."
Eric's expression turned grim. "Alone? At that time of night?" he muttered.
Andrew nodded. "Yes, sir. It's strange. There's no sign of anyone else around her."
Eric's thoughts were racing. Who was this woman? Why was she walking alone on the road at night? And what about her family?
" No information on that yet" Andrew reported
Strange, Eric said. A thought suddenly came to him; "Andrew check the missing persons database too."
"You think she might be a missing person sir Andrew asked. That might explain why we have not found any information yet.
Eric is not sure, he just want them to cover all the bases, they have the baby to think about.
Andrew: "On it sir".
"Get some sleep" Eric said and hung up.
Andrew knew latest by noon Eric will want to go out. Thank God his schedule is clear till afternoon. Andrew just settled down to get maybe two to three hours more sleep.
Working for Mr. Crown is anything but boring.
