The Wrath Of The Shadow Wolf novel Chapter 7

Wright climbs down the stairs at a quick pace. He does not want to keep Riona waiting for him longer than necessary. After Riona left his room, he had taken just ten minutes to get ready as he knows how important today is to Riona and he would not want to spoil it for her.

“I am ready Rio” He calls.

He walked up to the dining table and saw that Riona was sitting on it.

“Are you not ready yet?” He asked.

“I am dad” Riona replied.

“Okay let’s leave already. Hope I did not keep you waiting longer than was necessary?” Wright asked.

“No dad, you were really fast” Riona responded.

He noticed that Riona was still seated at the dining table and was making no effort to get up for them to leave and he wondered why this was so.

“So, can we,” He said, making some gestures with his hands as he pointed them to the door.

“We need to eat dad” Riona informed him.

Wright suddenly realized that there were two plates covered on the dining table. He had not taken notice of them when he first came. He thought Riona had taken breakfast while waiting for him.

“Really, you have not eaten yet?” Wright asked.

“Actually, I was waiting for you,” Riona said.

“I did not even notice,” Wright said.

He took a seat in front of his plate of food.

“Thanks for the meal, Rio. That is so thoughtful of you” Wright said.

“Okay dad, you can open now, let’s start eating,” Riona said.

They both opened their meal and started eating. When they were done eating, they got up and went out of the house.

Outside the house, Wright opened the door of the passenger’s seat for Riona and she entered the car. He went and opened the driver’s door, got into the car, ignited the engine, and started to drive.

“I am glad that you are going back to school again honey” Wright announced.

“I am too. And I would like to take the online classes so as to meet up with the rest” Riona said.

“That is great,” Wright said.

Wright is so happy at the zeal Riona had started school with. He knows that if she keeps up at this pace, she would be up to date with her peers in no time.

“When would that be, can you start today?” Wright asked.

“Not today dad, I plan on doing that on weekends” Riona replied.

“Yeah, weekends would be just fine. In that way, it would not interfere with your regular weekdays learning” Wright concurred.

“The other day, you were saying that you want to do science, are you still going ahead with that?” Wright asked.

“Yes, dad that is what I have decided” Riona responded.

“Okay, you see I am not in any way trying to discourage you from this. But how would you do that considering the fact that you have never taken any science-related subjects in your junior high?” Wright asked.

“And that is why I intend to go the extra length to make up for them now. If I can pass my promotional exams, I doubt if anything would stop me from doing science in senior high school” Riona replied.

“I see,” Wright said.

“Dad, I am putting in my very best for this, you’ve got to believe me,” Riona said.

“I do believe you, Rio. I know you put in your best in whatever you set your mind to. I trust you on this one” Wright said.

“Thanks, dad” Riona smiled.

Wright gave Riona a high five, and they both hit their hands against each other.

“Go out there and make me proud Rio” Wright screamed.

Riona began to laugh at her dad’s actions.

“So what and where do you suggest?” Wright asked.

Riona carefully thought about her dad’s offer for a while to know whether she would like a vacation or not. When she decided that it would be a vacation for her, she replied.

“Let’s take a vacation to Vancouver this weekend daddy. That is where I want to go to” Riona said.

“And a vacation to Vancouver it is” Wright announced.

Riona was very excited when her dad accepted her request to visit Vancouver. And so right now, she cannot wait for the weekend to arrive.

“Thank you so much dad, I love you more than anything else in the world,” Riona said.

“You are welcome honey and I love you even more” Wright responded.

Wright felt that music would be just right for the occasion and so he suggested “Okay, why don’t we play something good, dear, something for our mood”.

“Wow dad, that would be great. Just like the good old days” Riona replied.

“Yeah Rio, exactly like the good old days” Wright responded.

Wright was wondering what Riona meant by referring to the good old days. She sounded like she had been indoors or out of life for the past twenty years when it was barely two months that she had all these fun and activities. Riona’s response made him think that his daughter is truly one of a kind.

“So what song are we going for dad?” Riona requested.

“I’d say we do ‘School Life’. What do you think?” Wright suggested.

“Yeah, ‘School Life’ by Soumya Das would be just perfect for this moment” Riona screamed.

Wright screamed with Riona too, he is just so happy that his daughter is gradually returning to her old and cheerful self and he cannot wait to have her fully recovered from the loss of her mum, his wife, Evolette.

Wright turned on the Bluetooth of his phone and opened his boomplay app to search for the song. When he found it, he turned it on. He and Riona sang along with the song. Riona threw her hands in the air and shook her body to the beat of the song.

Riona had not been truthful with her dad when she told him that she does not have a reason for wanting to go for medicine even when her mind had been in art all along. The truth is that Riona does have a reason for wanting to become a medical doctor, and her reason is so as to be able to diagnose and understand the cause of her mum’s death.
