Chapter 192: Some Never Change

“Welcome to the company,” Evan said with a smirk, seeing Keith walk into his office.

Somehow, he knew his friend would be coming over that he had already set up a table next to his. Evan said, “I hope you are okay with using only Wifi. Setting up a LAN cable takes a while.”

“Wifi is good,” Keith answered while getting into place.

More than two weeks had gone by since Charles passed away. Keith had to return to work. However, the CEO office of Prima MedCare reminded him so much of his father. It was fine for Keith to return home to the

Hendersons’ mansion. As needed, he let himself cry, but work was work. Keith needed a better place to get him to concentrate, and that was how he wound up in Evan’s office for the past two days.

Evan allowed his friend to deal with his grief. To Evan, it was okay as long as Keith wasn’t directing his grief the wrong way.

“Everything okay at home?” Evan asked.

Keith had just opened his laptop. He smiled at Evan, saying, “Yes. We are slowly accepting things. I think we are going to stay at the old mansion permanently. It will help US with Mom.” 1

“Yeah, I think that’s also great. Aunt Helen won’t feel so alone,” Evan commented.

“Karise is still on leave, and I think she will try to get an extended vacation – maternity plus bereavement.” He leaned back, adding, “I didn’t realize we were all exhausted with everything.”

“Hmm. Sean and I could still check on Prima MedCare if you needed more rest,” Evan offered. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Over the past few weeks, Evan and Sean had periodically visited Keith’s company, keeping tabs on the operation. It abled Keith to still focus on his father, and when Charles died, it allowed him to mourn without feeling the pressure of the board of directors.

Keith glanced at Evan and assured him, “I’m good, Evan. Don’t worry about me. Every day, I feel better, and my little girl is starting to communicate, lifting the weight off my chest.”

“Charlene?” Evan clarified.

“Yeah, she is awake often now. She has the same eyes as me. I feel like I’m looking at myself when I look at her. Do you know what’s strange?

Whenever I take her to Dad’s room, she often smiles and looks around,” Keith revealed. “Do you believe in angels?”

Keith shook his head and said, “You must think I am crazy.”

“I don’t know what happens to US in the afterlife, but I think that before we die, we may affect people’s lives that a part of US will always remain. It could be that Charlene recalled her grandpa. I don’t know,” Evan suggested.

Keith simply smiled and added, “Then, I guess, as my little girls grow up, I’ll just tell them about their grandpa.”

“That’s an even better idea,” Evan said.

The two friends returned to work after their short chat. Sean would join them now and then. However, since Evan did not have a table for Sean, he would return to his private space for work.

In the aftertoon, Keith’s assistant dropped by to give documents to his boss, and it was during that time when Evan received a relevant call.

Evan picked up the phone and answered reluctantly. It was from a correctional officer he had employed and paid yearly to get an update about one particular hazard in his life.

“Yes?” Evan asked.

“Sir, we just wanted you to know that Nicole Lively has been released from prison,” the man said on the other line. Immediately, Evan felt chills down his spine. He didn’t even realize that Nicole had already served her complete sentence.

Sure, Evan did not want to keep hate in his heart, but this woman was different. To him, this woman ruined many of his chances to be with his now wife.

“Where is she headed now?” Evan asked in a chilly tone.

“Her father picked her up earlier, Sir,” the prison guard said. “She said something about going to Switzerland. I stood on guard at the gates when she left.”

“Nicole mentioned something about seeing a doctor in Zurich. Doctor Collete, something. It was a bit hard to pronounce, but it sounded like Cavendish?” The correctional officer described. “I’m sorry, Sir.”

‘TH have the airport guard spot them. Thank you for the update,” Evan responded.

After ending the call, he immediately searched for the doctor’s name.

There was no match for Doctor Collete Cavendish, but he did find someone closer enough.

“Dr. Colette Camenisch,” Evan read. “Is the leading board-certified plastic surgeon in Switzerland. She pioneered vaginal cosmetic surgery, vaginal rejuvenation, and -”

Evan’s heart raced, reading the last part, “is said to be the best doctor of choice for facial reconstructive surgery.”

For seconds, Evan froze in his seat. Many scenarios played in his head. After many years, he concluded, Nicole had not changed at all. He wondered where the Campbells got their funds when he had done everything to destroy their businesses and connections. They should have only enough to feed their stomachs and nothing else. They should have nothing to carry out any schemes.

However, that was the least important part. Why was Nicole going to see a plastic surgeon?

Evan got up from his seat, gritting his teeth. His friend might have noticed his reactions instantly that Keith asked, “What has gotten into you?”

“What has gotten into me? Nicole Lively is out from prison, and it looks like she is heading for another facial surgery,” Evan answered.

He dialed a number of an old private detective assigned to look after the Campbells. Evan ordered, “I need to know how the Campbells have money to go to Switzerland. Trace everything. We missed something -somehow.” ***

In the next twenty-four hours, Evan tightened his security around his family. He warned his friends that Nicole was out of prison. Rose Hills were locked from entry to Nicole Lively or Melody Campbell and anyone who looked like her, including any family members.

After another day, Evan received the report he needed. The investigator came to his office, revealing documents. He said, “Nicole Lively met Jessica Turner in prison. She was the one who gave her money.”

“What do we do, Sir?” The investigator said.

“Ruin them completely. They will not get another chance to destroy my family!” Evan declared. While Evan did not have solid proof they were out to get him, he concluded it. Why would two people who were after him work with each other?

Evan thought that some people never learn and they never change. They did not deserve a second chance.

After that meeting with the private investigator, Evan commissioned more people to look into the Turners and to catch Nicole Lively red-handed for whatever plans she may have.

Security remained tight in the next few weeks for Evan and his family, but finally, the schemes surfaced over the news.

Nicole Lively and her father, Thomas Cambell, were captured in Zurich, trying to persuade a plastic surgeon to copy Doctor Shantelle Scott’s face. Videos over the internet of the plastic surgeon speaking through an interview. She said, “I told her that no doctor can entirely copy a person’s face. We can keep operating on her face, but her bones won’t change, and a lot more. However, she is asking me to help her commit fraud! I did not want to do it! Miss Lively got so upset with me that she attacked me! That woman is a killer! She should have been locked up in jail completely!” 1

There was more to the news. Aside from the attack on the plastic surgeon, Nicole Lively assumed Shantelle’s identity. She had fake IDs under

Shantelle’s name and already had advance tickets booked under the same name, returning to Rose Hills in a few months.

More revelations followed when Jessica Turner was linked to the scheme.

Pieces of evidence were presented, including money transfers and witnesses who surrendered. Jessica’s old assistant had been forced into the ploy with her job on the line.

There was a deeper plan in place. Jessica wanted revenge against Evan, while Nicole simply wanted Evan. An attempt to change Nicole’s face was only an initial objective.

Nicole and her father were deported back to the country and locked up in a maximum prison facility. At the same time, Jessica had another criminal case to deal with. It was fair to say that Evan would never let Nicole and Jessica out of prison. 1

However, to make his point loud and clear, the man personally went to see Nicole and Jessica in prison. In front of them, he said, “Attempted Murder this time, huh?”

Turning to Jessica, the man added, “And conspiracy to commit a crime? Tsk. Tsk.”

Evan leaned against the glass window, where visitors could only remain. He said, “I’ll ensure you never get out of here. You and Jessica will rot in jail for whatever plans you have.”

“So it was you – you ruined all our plans,” Nicole retorted.

“Evan, please. It wasn’t my fault. It was Nicole. She convinced me to help her!” Jessica pleaded.

“I’m telling you now. I will have eyes on you while you are in prison. I will catch every crime you commit inside and forever keep filing lawsuit after lawsuit.” He grunted before declaring, “You will live here forever, so get used to it!”

***

A week after the cases against Nicole and Jessica were finalized, Evan rested for an entire day at their home.

One evening, he was lying in bed with his wife. Evan said, “I had to do what I had to do, Wifey. Sometimes, we have to learn to be cruel. They weren’t going to change, Shanty. They weren’t. I

needed to protect you and our kids. I even had the entire Turners under surveillance. Still, so far, I think only Jessica executed the plan.”

“I understand. Let’s continue to live fruitfully, but still, be mindful of our enemies,” Shantelle said. Turning to her husband, Shantelle said, “Thank you for protecting me and your children, Evan.”

Chapter 193: Birthing Journey

A baby’s loud cry echoed inside the room. Doctor Patel measured the crying newborn’s weight on a scale and announced, “Six point four pounds.”

“Wow. She is so gorgeous,” Evan commended before kissing his wife.

Shantelle had given birth to their second baby girl at six in the morning. Her name was Amara Shane, as recommended by Wendell and Milan. Since Shantelle delivered vaginally, they kept their baby inside the room following the pediatrician’s inspection.

To Shantelle, there was no need to leave her child’s care at the nursery since she could already get up. The painful part of giving birth was already over.

“She has a beautiful heartbeat, Doctor Shant,” the pediatrician said while listening to Amara’s chest. “She is so angry at me.”

Referring to Amara, Doctor Patel said, “Don’t take it on me, little girl. I wasn’t the one who took you out! I’m the one who will make sure you grow big and healthy!”

Doctor Patel laughed while resuming his evaluation. Because of the bond Evan and Shatnelle had formed with Lucas’ hematologist pediatrician, they requested the same doctor to be their new baby’s physician. 1

Amara was sucking her fingers when Doctor Patel checked her head. She cried louder, making the doctor say, “I’m almost done, little one. She wants her mommy.”

“I think she wants her daddy,” Evan claimed.

Doctor Patel chuckled. As he wrapped Amara in her swaddle blanket, he said, “Not when she is sucking her hand. She wants Mommy.”

Evan groaned, amusing the doctor. Doctor Patel rested Amara in

Shantelle’s arms, saying, “Congratulations to your baby girl. Did you save her blood cord?”

“We did,” Shantelle nodded. “We’ll never know, and if we don’t get to use it, we will donate them.”

“Well done,” Doctor Patel acknowledged. “The nurses will check her sucking reflex in the next few hours. Rest her well, skin to skin. Kangaroo care has a range of benefits. It can regulate a baby’s heartbeat and breathing. As a result, their weight gain is better.”

“Thank you, Doctor,” Shantelle responded. Then the pediatrician left.

In the next few minutes, Shantelle let Amara feed from her breasts. She had kangaroo care with her, relishing that warmth until she recognized the need to pass her daughter to her eager husband. 1

Evan took over and rested Amara on his bare chest, covering her with a small blanket to keep her warm. 1

Shantelle mesmerized for a minute, watching her husband and their new bundle of joy. Her eyes gleamed, especially delighted at how their newborn held on to Evan’s finger. Eventually, she thought of Lucas and called him. She knew her son was so excited about his new sibling.

In preparation for her delivery, their children stayed at the Scotts’ mansion. Thus, Lucas, Amelia, and Marcus were in good care while Shantelle and Evan were at the hospital.

“Mommy, is that Amara Shane?” Lucas asked. “I used to think Amelia looked like Mom, but Amara is Mommy’s copy.”

Shantelle chuckled. She said, “Her face will still change. We will find out when she is older.”

“I wanna hold her too,” Lucas said on the video call.

“Tomorrow, buddy. We will be home tomorrow,” Evan answered.

While talking to Lucas, Shantelle noticed the notification on her phone. It was a message from Sean which read: [Reese is giving birth. We are on our way to the hospital.]

“Oh, my god!” Shantelle exclaimed, shocking Evan and startling little Amara too.

“Wifey?” Evan complained.

Shantelle laughed. She pecked her baby girl’s head and said to her husband, “Reese is giving birth! Wait, let me read the entire message.”

Sean: [Her water broke, and she’s in pain. I don’t know if you can read this, but we are driving to the hospital now. I guess we will see each other.]

“Yeah, she is giving birth. Our children will have the same birthday!” Shantelle exclaimed. 2

“I’d like to know how Sean reacts to Reese giving birth,” Evan said with a smirk.

“You didn’t warn him?” Shantelle asked.

“No! Let him experience it firsthand,” Evan said, chuckling. “Besides, I just experienced it myself. You had a C-section the last time. Keith didn’t warn me either.”

“Wow, Mommy. Aunt Reese is having her baby too?” Lucas asked. He was still online with them, and Shantelle acknowledged it.

Lucas was screaming with excitement. He said, “Amazing! It’s like having a twin! Amara and Aunt Reese’s baby will have the same birthday! They will have parties together, go to school together -”

“They will do a lot together,” Shantelle happily confirmed.

The family covered many possibilities, extending their cheerful conversation. Eventually, another text came in, and Shantelle read it.

Sean: [This is it. We are at the hospital.]

***

“We are here,” Sean said while the driver pulled up at the hospital’s emergency room. Mom is here too. Thank goodness.”

Sean was excited and nervous at the same time. It was his first to be on this birthing journey with his wife. He heard it was painful for Reese but did not know what else to expect except being a supportive husband, regardless of whatever words his wife would throw at him.

Claudia, Sean’s mother, arrived earlier to aid the couple. While they were getting settled, Sean had to process the admission. Claudia stayed with Reese as she was being brought to the maternity floor.

Unfortunately for Sean, there was a long queue in the admission that he took nearly an hour. Sean was informed that Reese had been moved to a room by the time he finished. Thus, he went straight to the

maternity floor. He took a lift and walked out, searching for Reese’ assigned suite.

While making his way, Sean walked past a partially opened birthing room. Nurses rushed inside to help a man – a husband because Sean could hear the wife screaming from another side of the room. He couldn’t see her, but her shouts were enough to suggest it. “I’m the one giving birth here! Why did you faint? You just had to make it about you! Pussy! Do you hear me? You are a pussy!” 2

Sean gasped. He concluded that whatever happened there was not going to happen to him. He locked eyes with one of the nurses, who quickly shut the door, still, he wondered, ‘Why did the man faint?’

If that wasn’t enough, Sean saw another man being guided out of the next room. The man appeared to be sick and threw up on the floor! A nurse had to tell the man, “Mister Bell, I think you should remain outside. We are almost done, anyway.” 2

The man merely nodded and puked again.

While cleaners sanitized the floor, Sean lazily reached Reese’s suite.

Having witnessed what he had seen so far, his earlier confidence waned. He silently encouraged himself, ‘Fuck, I can do this.’

When Sean entered the room, Reese was already in pain. Next, he watched a doctor continuously stab her fingers inside Reese’s entrance. ‘What the -‘

Sure. In movies, Sean had seen this internal examination process, but the doctors in the film weren’t pushing that hard!

Sean had to take a breather for a moment. He walked to one corner of the room and sucked in a deep breath. He told himself, Be there for your wife. Calm down.” At the same time, he pondered, “Why didn’t the boys tell me any of this? Did Keith puke or faint? What about Evan?” 1

Milan had a C-section, so he knew Wendell didn’t experience the same process.

“Sean, this is your son. You have to be there for him and your beautiful wife, ” he reminded himself.

Returning to his senses, Sean stood beside Reese and helped her breathe. Reese held his hand the entire time while she tried to hum the pain away.

“It’s so painful,” Reese said while tightening her hold on Sean’s hand. “I need you

“I’m here, Reese. I’m here,” Sean answered, kissing Reese’s forehead. “I’ll be here all the way.”

It wasn’t until Reese started crying that he felt his wife’s pain. His heart was aching for his wife. He could not believe what she was going through to give him a son. Repeatedly, he hugged Reese’s frame from the side, saying, “You are so brave. I love you.”

Everything happened so fast. When the OB doctor entered the room, they concluded Reese was ready to push. Only Sean was allowed to stay. So Claudia, instead, visited Shantelle’s room while waiting for the baby to come out.

“Okay, Reese. Time to push,” the doctor ordered, and Reese regularly pushed from then on.

Each time Reese pushed, Sean felt his fingers breaking. His wife sure was strong. Reese practically bent his fingers from side to side every time she pushed. At that point, Sean’s pain was no longer for Reese but for his fingers, but he never complained. That day was all about his wife and his son.

“The baby is coming out, Reese. A little more,” the doctor encouraged.

“Aaahhh!” Reese pushed harder. Her hand gripped tighter against Sean’s fingers too. “Aaaaaahhh!”

Just as Reese pushed, Sean looked down between his wife’s thighs and finally knew why the husband from the other room fainted and the other puked. Blood, guts, and gores were coming from his wife’s

peach, Sean’s favorite part to eat!

If that wasn’t enough to make his tummy feel strange, the doctor had cut his wife’s rose using surgical scissors!

Almost immediately, he gagged and looked away.

‘Okay,’ Sean thought silently. ‘Whatever happens. Don’t faint! Don’t fucking faint!’ 2

He remembered how a woman from the other room called her husband a pussy, and he wasn’t about to get called the same. 1

Don’t fucking puke!’ He reminded, scolding himself. 1

“Aaaahh!” Reese screamed again.

The doctor announced, “Baby’s head is out. We are almost done!”

Seconds passed, and the baby was out. The next thing Sean heard was his son’s cries.

Sean was relieved beyond words. It was over. He didn’t puke, and he didn’t faint. His fingers were still in pain, but he turned his attention to his wife.

Immediately, Sean hugged Reese. He thought his wife was a goddess! He cried and said, “God, Reese. I don’t know how you did it, but you were great. You are amazing, and I love you more for delivering our son.” 1

He kissed her lips, her nose and eyes, and each cheek. He held her hands and kissed them before embracing her again. He said, “I love you. I love you more and more.” 1

“Really? You love me more? Awww.” Reese was earlier chasing her breath. Hearing her husband, she chuckled and replied, “You should have seen me with Shauna. Oh, I was such a screamer. You’ll

probably love me for eternity.”

“I believe you,” Sean declared, smiling. “I believe you! I’ll love you for eternity.”

After their baby had been evaluated, the midwife rested the newborn in Reese’s chest. The couple kissed their baby repeatedly before they named him. Sean said, “Samuel Reed.”
