The CEO's Return (Tracy and Alex) novel Chapter 8

Tracy

My eyes were swollen, I felt really tired, I felt like taking their place, I felt like I should be there instead of them, my children are my life and if anything happens to them I might die, thankfully they are out of danger now.

I've been in the hospital with my children for the past three days, they eventually woke up yesterday and I'm thankful, it cost me a lot of money but I don't care as far as my children are fine.

"Go home and change, I'd stay with them." My mum said and I shook my head, there is no way I'm leaving my children now.

"Listen to your mother now darling, we are here and they are asleep, you can go home real quick and come back before they wake up." My dad said placing his hand on my shoulder.

"No, I'm not leaving my children," I said without bulging

"Then we would help you get your clothes." My mum said and I nodded.

They left and the doctor came in with the nurses a few minutes after they left, he checked the children and wrote the progress down.

"Mrs. Johnson.."

"Miss Jones please." I correct and he gave me a weird look, why won't he?, Who breaks down in the doctor's office because he asked of the children's father and now I'm telling him not to call me my husband's surname.

"Miss Jones, the twins are doing fine, thankfully the head injury they sustained is not critical and they can be discharged a week from now, I would keep checking on them."

"Thank you, sir," I said as they left.

I sat down on the chair and watched my children, my superheroes, sincerely when I sat down and thought about it, it felt like a movie, I wondered why on God's green earth both of my children would fall and hurt their heads, but then I'm thankful they are alive, I also believe that everything was going to be fine.

A week later my children were ready to be discharged, they were awake and playing already, people from their school brought so many gifts that I had to beg my parents to help me put them in their car so that we can take them home.

"Miss Jones, don't let them resume school too soon, let them stay at home for a week at least, they might complain about a headache, you should expect it but don't worry, you'd get some drugs at the pharmacy downstairs, this is the prescriptions, give it to them and they'd be fine, let them come for a monthly check-up too."

"Thank you, doctor," I said collecting the prescriptions and the drug lists from the doctor

"What do you say?" I asked turning to face my children.

"Thank you, Doctor Bernard." They chorused

"You are welcome."

"Let's get going kids, your grandparents are waiting downstairs," I said leading them to the parking lot, trust me I made sure they were extra careful on the stairs, I got the drugs from the pharmacy and I drove us home while my parents followed us behind with their gift-filled car.

We got home a few minutes past twelve, surprisingly my brothers and their families were already waiting for us, they helped us arrange everything and they also assisted me in settling the children, my parents left after helping us get settled.

The children and their children were in the sitting while myself and their parents were in the kitchen, we were preparing lunch when Lewis my eldest brother placed a white envelope before me.

"What is this?" I asked confused
