Episode 56
The child was rushed to the hospital after a sudden illness.
It appears she was having difficult in breathing.
Doctor diagnosed a certain illness that is common with children of her age but it wasn’t leukemia.
They needed to flush out a certain blood causing such illness and infused her with a fresh blood that goes with her blood type.
They asked the father if he will like to pay for two pent of blood, he asked about the price and was told.
The whole hospital bills was choking him badly, he definitely do not want to add another expenses to it.
He agreed to donate for his child.
They tested his blood but it wasn’t the same blood type.
“Mr Spence, we can’t take your blood because you and the baby do not share same blood type and is not something to worry, it happens….
Cole interrupted
“She my flesh and blood, can’t you see the resemblance. She is just two three years old and since her mother is AS and I’m AA, my daughter is also AA then her blood should correspond with mine. What are you saying…
The doctor’s try to convince him that his blood is not a match for the child.
But Cole who do not want another bill added to the one on ground insisted.
His argument went on and on, he try to convince them further but the doctor said that since his blood wasn’t a match he has to pay to get a pack of blood or he takes his daughter to another hospital.
But with the way things were going, they have to give one pack of blood at that moment to the child as they wait for the father to be calm enough and reason with them instead of arguing.
Cole asked them to retest him, they should run another blood test and the rest on him. He was medically fit in all areas.
As Cole insisted on another round of test.
They decided to do several other test on Cole, his genotype was AA just as he said and so was his daughter.
But they found out that he was suffering from sperm disorder.
A doctor felt that the baby may not be his and decided to run several other test on Cole to confirm what he was saying.
Cole’s blood group was O+ positive while his daughter’s own was far different.
the last result showed that the DNA test was wrong.
It appears negative, meaning Cole wasn’t the father of the child.
Coleman’s world came crashing down.
He refused to believe it.
The child was treated and the whole bill was presented to Cole but he didn’t have such an amount.
He deposited what he had and promised to run around for the rest of the money.
He was doing a menial Job that doesn’t pay much, upkeep and feeding had been quiet difficult but they try to manage with what they have.
He later confronted Lizbeth with what the doctor told him but she denied having anything to do with another men except him.
Cole was begining to think deep to what the doctor told him.
Ever since the birth of his daughter, Lizbeth has not been able to conceive again. They don’t use protection, yet no sign of pregnancy.
Which means that the fertility drugs either didn’t work or something else went wrong.
He went back to the fertility doctor that prescribed the drugs which Florence paid for it all despite how expensive it was back then.
The doctor checked him, shake’s his head sadly. He confirmed that he still has the infertility disorder. Medically, He can’t still pregnant a woman except if miracle happens.
Coleman was emotionally disabled.
He went back to his house and for the first time wept deeply in private.
The doctor said he can purchase the drugs again and give it another try but Cole felt is a waste of money and time.
Maybe he was serving a punishment for his addiction in porn and other dirty and dangerous sexual lifestyle he got involved in the past.
He confronted Lizbeth again, this time he was way serious than he was before.
He threaten throwing her to the street with her daughter if she does not tell him who she slept with aside him before their daughter was conceived.
Lizbeth later confessed to sleeping with Dominic, the security guy and her excuse was because Cole ignored her during the early time that Florence was around.
Which means the baby belongs to Dominic.
Cole fell heavily to the ground. He can’t believe he was previously sharing Lizbeth with his ordinary gate man.
He couldn’t bear all the heartbreak. He angrily threw Lizbeth out with her daughter.
Lizbeth pleaded, she fell to the ground crying and begging Cole because she does not have anywhere to go neither does she know where Dominic lives.
Cole sent her away, Lizbeth left.
Dominic, the security guy resigned after the incident with Florence where he was also arrested.
Immediately after his released from police custody he packed his things and left and was never heard off.
Lizbeth was able to locate where Dominic was living.
He was doing well with his new line of business, which is second grade clothing.
He refused to accept the child, he told Lizbeth he was already married and his wife recently gave birth to a baby girl for him
He does not want any issue with his wife and neither does he want to have anything to do with her or her child.
Lizbeth cry and left, she returned to Cole, all she needed was roof over her head and that of her daughter.
She has no money or house. Her relatives lives far in a distance village.
She knelt pleading for Cole to forgive, she promised to work and support the house. She promise to be the help she sighed up in the beginning to be.
She only wanted a roof over her head and that of her daughter.
Cole refused, he did not want to see her face or the child’s face.
He was not moved by Lizbeth tears or that of the baby.
For almost four years he has been taking care of the daughter thinking it was his, struggling with everything he can to bring food home.
All this while Lizbeth knew deep within that the child wasn’t his yet never mentioned it.
Marina also deceived him for two years until the truth came to light.
She was able to recover from the hospital after what happened and despite all the surgeries and dermatologic filling, her life was never the same.
Why was he a target of all this evil women. Why will he ever choose such dubious and manipulative women over his own dear wife who truly and sincerely loves him.
Lizbeth was the reason he and Florence divorce, she was the reason Florence almost killed herself.
Maybe he also shares in the blames but Lizbeth broke his family into pieces. She scattered his home and drove Florence out.
He signed the divorce not because he really wanted to but it was a hard choice for him due to Lizbeth pregnancy which he thought was his.
Florence never demanded for anything, she accepted peaceful settlement.
She forgived, she loved and despite all he did Florence never turned her back on him. She took up every responsibility, both for his personal use and for the entire house.
The saying that you never know what you have until you lose it has come to play out in his life.
Florence was worth more than the entire world to him yet he took her for granted.
All she wanted was gratitude from him but she got paid back with several cheating, scandals and verbal abuse.
He miss her and regret all he did.
He wants his wife back and was ready to do anything it takes to have her.
His only prayer and hope was that she should not be marry yet.
Florence deeply loves him and if she sees how sincere he was she may accept him back.
She will definitely accept him back if he knees and plead for her forgiveness.
They will come back together, remarry again and start living as husband and wife.
They will try the fertility drugs one more time and if it didn’t work out they will settle with adoption. They may adopt one or two kids and become parents as they have always wanted.
There is no other woman that will love and support him like Florence will.
Anything it requires, he will remarry his wife again. She belongs to him alone and none other
Florence won’t be able to move on just like that because of the love she has for him.
Coleman went on a search for Florence. He went to Susan’s place despite how scared he was of troublesome Susan.
Susan chased him and warned him never to smell near her place.
She also mentioned that Florence has a sweet loving family but Cole didn’t believe her. He thought Susan only wanted to get back at him.
He went to her old work place but found out that Florence no longer work there.
Days, weeks, months he kept searching until he decided to swallow pride and shame and go and look for her at Maxwell’s mansion.
