°I'm still so thankful to God for giving her that strong child of hers or she wouldn't have made it. Her daughter is a real blessing°Maria informed her friend.

°I understand what you're saying my friend and I'm also grateful to God but do you think she'll have another child in the future? After the incident do you think anything happened to her womb or something? I've been so worried about that since i heard.°

°Hmm, my dear friend you're right to ask questions but I'm very sure if something happened she'll let us know also the doctor would have told us so we can watch her. I'm sure and i have faith that more children are coming her way.° Maria continues

Her father wasn't around and it felt like he's all she wanted.~

°Arnold, i want you to go to the market and call your father home, tell him his daughter needs his presence and she won't stop crying, neither will she eat. She won't even let me hold her. Just call him over her temperature his getting high and it'll make her fall sick if we aren't careful°

°Yes ma, I'll go, or do you want me to take her along? Maybe when she's outside she'll calm down°

°Sure you can take her along maybe she'll be calm before you get there. But be careful, watch the road before crossing and carry her properly.°

°Yes ma°
