After Divorce I Became A Zillionaire

Nicklaus Michaelson

I was still in shock wondering why Ava ran out like that. Since she left I have been restless. It’s like a part of me left me with her, I wanted to follow her but I don’t want it to seem like I’m stalking her.

I was still in thought when my phone rang, I checked the caller and saw it was Mr. Della Sanchez, Ava’s father. I was surprised and curious at the same time. The last time he called me was four years ago when Ava and I got a divorce so what could be the problem?

I slide on the green Icon

“Good day Father”

“Nicklaus my son, you have to come to my private hospital it’s urgent and it’s a matter of life and death”

“Hold on Father I’ll be there in a few minutes” I replied and hung up immediately rushing out with my car keys, I didn’t care to ask whose life is in danger the fact that Ava ran out in haste is already suspicious, I drove in a very high-speed minutes later I was already in the hospital, I didn’t bother to pack carefully before I hurried down my car rushing into the hospital

I met Ava’s dad on the way

“Son” He called looking tense

“Father, what happened?”

“Come see for yourself,” He said leading the way while I walk beside him anxiously, we arrived in a private room, I saw Ava’s mum standing beside the bed while a little boy lay down with oxygen covering his face,

I was already curious, I walked closer and was shocked to see it’s one of my sons, I recognized him to be the one that hugged me in the park, the one I carried in my arms he called me daddy

I was close to tears, I walk close to him and nearly broke down in tears, my son is on life support

“He needs you Nick” Ava’s father muttered while holding onto my shoulder,

“What happened to him?” I asked without taking my gaze away from my son

“He fell down the stairs and right now he needs blood, else it will be dangerous, Ava already tasted her blood but it wasn’t completely a match, we asked her to call you but she is stubborn, she refused, I don’t want my grandson to die that’s why I called you here, Ava stepped out so please Nicklaus save your son”

“Of course Father please, where is the doctor please?” I asked sounding so desperate

“My sweet baby” Ava’s mum whimpered while holding onto my son’s hand

“The doctor is…..”

“Is the father here?” The doctor caught us short as he walked into the room

“I’m here doctor”

“Mr Nicklaus right?”

“Yes”

“Please follow me for the text”

I followed the doctor to the laboratory, he took my blood for a test while he asked me to go back for him to carry out the test. I left and met Ava’s mum still standing beside my son holding onto his hand, I could see the love in her eyes

I could imagine the love Ava’s parents have for my kids, the bond was so strong I want to experience those love and have such bond with my boys too, I really crave for my family to be together, but right now the life of my son matters the most,

I pray the doctor comes out soon there’s no time, I’m losing my patience already I can’t bear to see my son this way, back then at the park he was so sweet, and loving the way he cling to me was everything

I was still in thought when the doctor walked in through the door

“Doctor” I called and he smiled

“The blood was hundred percent match, now we have to do the transfusion and carry out the surgery immediately”

I heaved a sigh of relief as happiness washed through me immediately

“Thank you, lord” Ava’s mother exhaled happily while her father smiled patting me on the shoulder

Ava’s parents left the room and the doctor set to work immediately. He started the transfusion. I lay down and watched as my blood has been transfused to my son, he is my son after all.

Thirty minutes later I was out of the room, while the doctor and other groups of surgeons are in the operating room, operating on my little son we all stood outside with our fingers crossed waiting for the doctor to come out, though Ava is not yet back I don’t want her to see me and make a scene

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Ava’s dad staring at me

“You would make a great dad you know”

“You think so?” I sighed quietly

”Trust me I know that”

“I hope I get the chance to”

“You will son, and don’t worry about Xacky he’s a strong boy”

“His name is Xacky?” I asked

“Yes, he’s the last of the triplet, he’s the cutest, sweetest of them all”

“Trust me I already know that, I met him once” I smiled remembering how he called me dad at the park and jumped into my arms

The door to the operating room opened and the doctor came out smiling

“How was it, doctor?” We all asked at once

“The surgery was successful, I must comment he’s a strong and patient boy to have waited his long”

“Thank you so much, doctor”

“You’re welcome Mr Nicklaus,” The doctor said and started walking away but then stopped and turned to us

“We need to teach the mother a lesson if not for the grandfather who called you the story might have been different”

“What do we do doctor, Ava is so stubborn,” Ava’s mother said

“When she comes back tell her the son is dead, she needs to learn the hard way”

“But doctor….” I wanted to interfere but he held my shoulder

“She needs to let go of any past, she needs to heal trust me this is the best way”

I was at a far distance watching Ava arrive, but when her parents told her about Xacky’s death, she fainted

I could feel her love for her son, I know I was the cause of it all only if she could give me a second chance to make everything well again

I ran to her and scoop her in my arms running into the room while her mum call on the doctors

Minutes later the doctors attended to her and said she will wake soon

I stood beside her bed holding her hand

Please baby wake up and I promise to be your everything I cried holding onto her hand. I was broken I needed her so bad if only she would let me in again

I’m tired of being broken
