Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Katherine POV continues….

Past….

I quickly ran towards the doctor to know about my father's condition. 

" Doctor...how is my father's condition? " I asked anxiously. He looked at me and asked, " who are you?"

" I am his daughter, Katherine David. Please tell me, how is he? " I asked him.

" He is out of danger but…." He stopped for a while and looked at me. I lost my patience and asked, " What… tell me? " 

" His two legs are paralyzed. He can't walk again in his life. We are sorry to inform you, " he informed. Martin who standing behind me patted my shoulder and consoled me, " That everything will be alright "

" Kathie… don't cry. We are there for you, " Mr. Borr said. I looked at him with surprise when he calmly talked with me.

" Don't cry. I will be with you…." Grayson said, wiping my tears. I flinched by his touch as I didn't feel right and replied, " thanks for your concern. I have my people to take care of me" 

" Mom and dad...you may leave. I want to stay in the hospital with Katherine. After all, she is my future wife and I must support her in all good and bad times…" Grayson said.

I was shocked when he mentioned me as his future wife. I glared at him and wanted to shout but Aunt Lisa held my wrist. She gestured with her eyes to stay calm.

I walked away from him as I was worried about my father and frustrated by Grayson's behavior. Martin followed me and asked to sit on the chair as it was not good for my health. 

" Princess...stay calm until Uncle Luther is conscious. We can talk about this matter later…" Martin advised and on seeing my father's condition, I had to act according to the situation. But I ignored Grayson who was standing far away from us.

 …..

I stayed in the same position and we all were waiting for the nurse's call. 

After a while, Grayson came to me. He gave a small food parcel and asked to eat. " Thanks…" I replied and gave it to Aunt Lisa to eat as she used to have low blood pressure. 

" Please eat. You are having low pressure " I said.

" What are you doing, I brought it to you, not to the maid! " he said angrily.

" Mind your language. She is like my mother and always takes care of me like her own child," I retorted.

" It's okay. Eat this food…." Aunt Lisa intervened.

I took the food parcel and kept it on the chair. " Martin….take Aunt Lisa to the cafeteria in the hospital. She has low blood pressure. It's not good for her health if she stays hungry, " I informed.

" What about you? " Martin asked.

" Someone should stay here. I will wait for the nurse to get an update on dad's health " I answered.

" Okay…." He agreed. When he was going to the cafeteria along with Aunt Lisa, I stopped him and asked him to bring something to eat as I was so hungry. Martin nodded and walked away.

" I already bought food for you..." Grayson said.

" Martin knows what I like. No need to show your concern for me. You can leave from here …" I said as I felt disgusted to see his face with his behavior with Aunt Lisa. 

" I think you are not in a good mood due to your father's condition. I will meet you later …" he said in a serious tone and left the hospital.

Just after a few minutes, the nurse came out of the room. Instantly I walked towards her taking long strides. She looked at me and asked, " Are you, Katherine? "

I gestured with my head as Yes and asked, " how is my father? ". She looked at me pitifully and said, " He was mumbling your name after getting conscious, just come in and meet him"

I followed her and noticed any tubes connected to his body. My body was paralyzed on watching my father in that state, " dad…" I called in a cracked tone.

" Baby ...Don't worry. I will recover soon. Stay strong and be brave. After me, you are the one who takes care of my business. If you are weakened by some problem, how can you handle our Davis empire!" He said.

" I am so scared…" I held his hand and cried loudly.

" Shhh….Princess … Nothing will happen to me. I am not sad because of my legs. I will live till my grandchildren get married. …" He tried to make me smile.

…..

After one week, my father was discharged from the hospital. I wanted to know what happened at Borr's place but due to his condition, I remained calm. After my father was back home, Martin stayed with my father and took care of him as he knew about my pregnancy. He doesn't want me to stress about that condition. He used to sleep in my father's room. 

One day, we got a call from my father's company. It was my father's secretary, Mr. Joseph, the most trusted person by my father in business. He asked us to come to the company that he needed to attend the meetings.

" Mr. Joseph...you knew about my father's condition. And how could you ask me to come? " I asked him.

" All the shareholders wanted to talk with the future CEO. And you must come… Try to understand, Miss. Davis in the business world, emotions are involved," he informed. I understood his point then informed my father about Mr. Joseph's call. At that time, Martin was there to help my father along with the maids and also slept in the same room. He used to serve my father as a son.

" Martin...I want you to be with Kathie. " He said in a strict tone. " Yes, Uncle. I will go with her…" he replied.

" Dad...If Martin and I go to the company, who will be with you? " I asked him.

" I have maids here. Just follow my instructions…" my father said seriously. I didn't argue with him as I noticed that he was serious about it. 

" I will get ready in ten minutes .." I said and came out of the room. Just then I remembered that I changed my father's medicine to the other wardrobe while the maids were dusting the room.

I walked back to tell them about it then I heard my father saying to Martin, " Be careful when you are going out. Don't trust anyone. And the most important thing that Kathie should not know about my accident" 

All of sudden, I walked inside my father's bedroom and asked Martin, " what you both were hiding from me? "

They both were startled looking at me and looked at each other's faces. Their faces turned pale.

" Nothing….Kathie .." my father said. Then I looked at Martin skeptically. He looked nervous and lowered his head. I walked towards him, " You are my best friend, right? Please tell me …" I pleaded.

" Princess…." My father called me.

" Dadda ..tell me the truth…" I shouted. Immediately Martin held my shoulders from behind and said, " It was not an accident but someone planned the accident…" 

" What? " 

" It means someone wants to kill my father, why? " I asked them.

" Yes, Kathie …" Martin replied.

" Who is he? " I asked him furiously. Martin looked at my father then said, " Grayson…". His voice came out like a whisper.

" That bastard, how dare he? I will get him arrested " I shouted.

" We have no evidence against him for now, princess…" my father said. Then I questioned him back, " Then how do you know it was a planned attack? "

" Because …. The accident happened due to brake failure. When I was returning home, my driver complaint that the brake was failed. But I knew that the car was back home from the garage after the servicing the before day …" my father explained.

Then I too suspected Grayson because his family was the first before we reached the hospital. I was curious to know what happened at his home.

" Dad...tell me at least now, what happened at GRAYSON's home? " I asked anxiously.

" Leave about it and go to our company. If Joseph made a call then it could be an emergency. We can talk about it after you are back from work…" my father said. Just in time, our family lawyer came to my father's room.

My father stopped talking with us in the presence of the lawyer. The lawyer looked at me and greeted, " Miss. Davis, how are you? "

" Fine…" I replied.

" Is everything prepared as per my instructions? " My father asked him.

" Yes sir. Everything is done according to your instructions…." The lawyer replied to my father.

" Let me... check. " My father took those papers into his hands. I stared at my father and asked him, " what is going on? "

" Princess….you are getting late to work. Always be punctual to work …" he said and gestured More artin to start our company.. Finally, I obeyed his words and started our company with Martin.
