Chapter 101
“Babe!” Cole approached her, circling an arm around her waist. “Nothing, we were talking about business.”
“But you seem so nervous.” She countered.
“I do?” Cole reiterated, staring innocently.
She nodded.
“I guess I am just stressed because of all that has happened. Are you done talking with your lawyer?”
“Yes. Thankfully everything is going on well with the company. But I am not sure how much longer I’m going to want to control Summer Incorporation.”
“Are you saying this because of Vanessa and her mom or you are just not genuinely interested again?” Cole asked.
“Your Grandfather had seen something in you when you were little, that’s why he made it known in his will that you need to take over the company.” Jessica interrupted. “If this is about Vanessa and Connie. You need not bother about them. They are almost off the picture. You are the rightful heir to the company. If you let go of it, all your Granddad’s effort will be in vain. You don’t have to actively be involved. You can be part of the board and strictly supervise.”
Hailey nodded. “Thank you for your concern. Sometimes I feel I have too much more than I can handle.”
Jessica smiled. “You would do just fine. You are a superwoman and Cole is so lucky to have you. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed, take breaks when you feel like but don’t ever underestimate yourself. You are stronger than you Chink.” Jessica said with a warm smile. She wanted to congratulate Hailey so badly on the baby but she didn’t want to be too forward, since she wasn’t sure if Hailey was okay with a third party knowing about it.”
“Yes baby, Jessica is right!” Cole kissed the side of Hailey’s forehead and gave her a side hug. “You’re amazing and am blessed to have you in my life.”
“You want us to go now?”
Hailey nodded.
“It’s fine, I will be on my way soon, after Cris and I speak to the doctor. You have nothing to worry about. Connie is not as smart as she thinks she is so I know they will get her soon. Either Secus or the cops.” Jessica assured.
Hailey and Cole nodded. They said their goodbye and exited the hospital.
You Okay?” Cole asked the love of his life the moment he was about to buckle up his seat belt. He was in the

driver’s seat while Hailey was seated in the front passenger seat.
“We can always go back in to see the doctor,” Cole said out of concern since they were yet to have any official appointment with the doctor.
Hailey shook her head. “Not today. Not here.”
“Are you sure, my love?” He reached for her hand and gave it a light squeeze, staring at her dull face intently.
“If this is about how I reacted towards your lawyer, I’m so sorry. I just got really jealous and couldn’t control myself. I felt he was a youngster that might be into you.”
“You later composed yourself and that’s fine. I like it when you are possessive of me but that’s not it. I’m just concerned about what Vanessa said earlier.”
“Concerning your mom?”
Hailey nodded.
“You think Connie could have had a hand in her death?”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. She passed away in her sleep. I remember her being as good as new the day before. The doctor’s report confirmed nothing was wrong and that it was probably her time to leave the world. Then again, thinking about what Vanessa said, I won’t be surprised if Connie had a hand in it.”
“I’m so sorry about that, my love. Do you remember which hospital it is or the name of the doctor? We can track down the doctor and demand real autopsy results.”
“It’s our family hospital but I don’t know the doctor.”
“What if we ask Eric?”
Hailey shook her head. “I doubt he cares that much to remember who the Doctor was. Besides, I want nothing to do with him.”
“It took me a while to come to terms with reality. I don’t know what I’d do if Connie had a hand in it. I would like to talk with her. Just like I did with Vanessa.”
“I didn’t expect Vanessa to open up. She was probably emotional about the baby, that is why she spoke. But I doubt Connie would say anything.” Cole said.

“I still need to see her. Let her say it to my face. It hurts so much to think that I could still have my mother if was content with my mom as the only wife.”
“I’m not supporting Eric but I can understand how someone like Connie would be able to perpetrate into his life.

She’s so evil and won’t stop at nothing until she gets what she wants.”
Hailey shook her head. “If Eric really loved my mom, he wouldn’t look elsewhere. You are proof of that. Vanessa tried her damn best to get you but look at you, still beside me, telling me how much I mean to you every day.”
“It’s a pity our kids wouldn’t know what it’s like to have a grandmother.”
Cole gave her hand a light squeeze. “Don’t think that way, my love. They have us, they’ve got Debbie, Jess and that is more than enough.”
Hailey nodded. “Let’s go home. I can’t wait to lay on my bed.”
Cole nodded. “Everything will be alright baby.” He leaned closer to Hailey and then placed a deep kiss on her forehead.
