I Hope You Will Never Regret

During the week, Dr Smith called Mrs Taylor regarding the test results. Mrs Taylor took her husband and went to the hospital. Dr Smith was waiting for them in his office.

He greeted them politely and said, “Mrs Taylor, the medication that young Mrs Taylor was taking is harmful to the baby. It will cause the baby to have brain damage.

Also, it accelerated the life span of young Mrs Taylor. I don’t think she will live more than three months after she gives birth to her daughter.”

The Taylor couple was so shocked, they couldn’t believe their ears. Caroline looked at her husband with tears in her eyes. Why didn’t she listen to her father-in-law when she told her that Valery was not a good person?

It was clear to her that the Moore family was preparing for their daughter to take over their eldest daughter’s position as Xavier’s wife. She regretted having Valery as her friend. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret.

Mr Taylor took his phone and called his son. When it was connected, he asked his son to come to Dr Smith’s office. A few minutes later, Xavier walked into Dr Smith’s office. He sat beside his father and asked, “What’s going on, Daddy?”

His father told him that the results were back. Then he asked Dr Smith to tell him the outcome. Dr Smith repeated what he told the Taylor couple. Xavier looked at his parents expressionless, and then the Taylor family thanked Dr Smith and left his office.

John Taylor asked his family to follow him to the boardroom next to Valencia’s ward. His mother looked at his son and said, “Son, please forgive me for pushing you to marry Valencia.

Valery did this on purpose; she wanted her youngest daughter to replace her eldest daughter. She didn’t care about my granddaughter’s life. I was blind, Valery is a snake.”

Then she cried sorrowfully. Her father-in-law would be fuming with anger when they told him about the test results.

Xavier looked at his mother and replied, “I asked Valencia to stop taking this medication until Dr Smith gave her the go-ahead, but she didn’t listen to me. What if the Moore family knew about Valencia’s sickness before we got married but they hid it from us?”

His father looked at his sobbing wife and asked, “Caroline, do you think your friend hid this information from us?” Caroline shook her head and replied, “I don’t know, John. The Moore family is despicable and greedy.”

Xavier told his parents that he had a Zoom meeting with his managers in half an hour. Then his parents bade him goodbye, and they left the hospital with heavy hearts.

On Friday, the 4th of November, Xavier called his parents and told them that Valencia was in labor. They rushed to the hospital with Grandpa Taylor in tow. An hour later, the nurse approached the Taylor family holding the baby in her arms.

Mrs Taylor took her granddaughter in her arms. She was so beautiful; she was a replica of her mother. She gave the baby to her father-in-law. He smiled brightly; he was in a good mood.

He looked at the baby and said, “Your name will be Sage Taylor. May the Lord bless you with wisdom.” Then he gave his great-granddaughter to his son, John. He took his granddaughter from his father beaming with joy.

The Taylor family was over the moon. They even forgot to notify the Moore family that Valencia had given birth. The nurse took the baby from Mr Taylor; she indicated that she was going to clean the baby.

An hour later, Valencia was wheeled to her ward by the two nurses. Xavier was following behind with his chubby daughter in his arms.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He had a broad smile on his face. He thanked the Lord for blessing him with such a beautiful daughter. He also prayed for his wife to be healed.

The Taylor family followed Xavier to the ward, smiling from ear to ear. Grandpa Taylor told his precious grandson that he had named his great-granddaughter, Sage. Xavier smiled at his grandfather and replied, “That’s a beautiful name. Thank you, Grandpa.”

Xavier’s mother walked to Valencia beaming with joy and said, “Thank you, my daughter-in-law, for such a beautiful gift. Baby Sage is gorgeous like her mother. Are you in pain? Did Dr Smith tell you when he is going to do your surgery?”

Valencia smiled at her mother-in-law and replied, “I am not in pain, Mom. I decided not to have surgery. I want to spend the few days that I have with my husband and my daughter.

Also, my family is against it. Mom, did you tell my parents that I have given birth to their granddaughter?”

The Taylor family was shocked when they heard Valencia’s words. She refused to do surgery because of her family.

What about her husband and her daughter? It was clear to them that the Taylor family was nothing compared to the Moore family in Valencia’s heart.

Her father-in-law took his phone and called Mr Moore. When it was connected, he said, “Hello Vince, the Lord has blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter. Please come to the hospital.” Then he dropped the phone.

A few minutes later, Grandpa Taylor and his son, John, bade goodbye to Xavier and left the hospital. His mother decided to stay until the Moore family arrived. Half an hour later, the Moore family arrived at the hospital.

Valery looked at Caroline with questioning eyes, but she didn’t say anything. She took her granddaughter from Caroline. Then she walked to her daughter and asked, “How are you feeling, Baby?”

Valencia smiled at her mother and replied, “I am alright, Mom. The baby is so beautiful; she looks like you, Mom.”

Valery turned and looked at Caroline and said, “Do you mind giving us some space? I want to talk to my daughter alone.”

Caroline was about to leave when Xavier stopped her. He looked at his mother-in-law and said, “With due respect, Mrs Moore.

Should you want to talk to your daughter alone, please wait until she is discharged from the hospital. Also, I am so tired of the Moore family secrets. Please respect my mother.”

Valencia and her mother were taken aback by Xavier’s words. Mrs Moore smiled at Caroline and said, “I am sorry if I offended you, Caroline. I didn’t mean any harm.”

Valery looked at her husband and said, “Hubby, I am not feeling well, please take me home.” She bade goodbye to her daughter, then they left.

After they left, the atmosphere became awkward. Caroline kissed her granddaughter then she bade goodbye to her daughter-in-law and her son and left the hospital.

After she left, Xavier looked at his wife coldly and said, “Not a word from you. It was supposed to be the happiest day for both families, but your words showed me that you don’t care about the Taylor family.”

Valencia looked at her husband and replied, “Please forgive me, my love. I don’t see the need to do surgery because Dr Smith told me that I have a 40% chance of survival. I understand that miracles happen, but I am tired.”

Two days later, Valencia and the baby were discharged from the hospital. The Moore family sent Valencia’s nanny, Aunt Getty, to look after baby Sage.
