The staff in the house were happy to welcome their boss back home after a long time in the hospital. All the members of the staff and the family had dinner together and thank God thereafter for keeping Dr Read alive. Watson wanted to take him to his room upstairs but he refused. Instead he instructed Eddy to take him by jovially saying "Eddy, Take me to my room. you can start to be responsible by taking your old man to bed. Everyone laughed.

The next day, Watson came by the house to talk to his father about getting a physiotherapist as advised by the doctor in the hospital. Dr Read opposed that. he said why getting a physiotherapist when I have an abled body man at home. His hands should be good for something but Watson disagrees saying that he is not a professional and who his fathers needs is a professional therapist to make him get back on his feet as soon as possible. After much talk to and fro, Watson decided to let his father win.

Eddy became his father's physiotherapist. He took few instructions from a physiotherapist in the hospital on one of their visit to the hospital for Dr Reads check up and he started working on his father's leg. He handled his father's leg like a professional to the extent that his Dad commend him. A professional couldn't have done more than this. Thanks son. Eddy was happy to hear his dad call him "son" A position he thought he dad lost as a result of his own foolishness. Few weeks later, Dr Read was on his feet. He can now walk and talk perfectly. All these period, Bella was home doing nothing. She was waiting for her dad to fully recover before she raised the discussion they had before she travelled to Nigeria.

Dr Read was exercising his legs around the house when he saw Bella from afar through the window in her apartment staring into space. He went to meet her to ask if all was well. Bella got startled by his Dad touch and then burst into laughter. Dr Read knew then that all was well but still asked. She told him she was just reminiscing about her life and everything that has happened to her in the past and she was appreciating God from her heart for bringing him to her rescue.

Father and daughter started talking. Then she told him that she is tired of staying at home all day, It is high time she started doing something. Dr Read told her that he is already working on getting her a job. Father and daughter had enough time to talk and gossip about other member of the family especially Eddy that afternoon.

Two months later, Dr Read invited his boys and girls, families and friends to dinner in his house. No one knows why he invited them. Some though it was about his health while others thought he wanted to announce another marriage. At the party, Dr Read hit a metallic object on his wine glass to call the attention of the people present. He appreciate them for coming and said, I know that most of you will be wondering why I called for. this gathering tonight. aren't you?

He sighed and continue, please people, travel down memory lane with me. Twenty five years ago, My wife of blessed memory was involved in an accident which led to her death. I tried my best but my best wasn't enough to save her. She had to die leaving me alone in this world with our children. Myself and their nanny, Miss Rubby raised both of them. I tried my best in raising them but at some point, I felt like I failed because of life style my younger son had chosen. I tried to make him a better and responsible young man but you know what they say "Often times, can can only can what can can can but sometimes, can can't can what can can't can"--Yetunde Akorede's fighting the Gods.So I stopped trying

Then , during one of my trip to Nigeria, I was going to check the theater when I heard a voice from the female word. I tried to check if all was well and then I saw this beautiful young lady without legs on the floor weeping profusely. Immediately I remembered my wife, the accident and her death. I said to myself, If I couldn't save my wife, I should save this young lady. I took her and her sister with me back here and technically, I became the father of four. My first son was happy to see them around but the coconut head will always proves himself. Eddy didn't care. They have been nothing but sources of joy and blessings for me ever since I brought them here. Their presence brought back my son and made him responsible. That liquid in your bank account today, put some of them into helping people. It is a profitable business. Invest in a life saving project today.

And lastly, to the reason we are here tonight, I present to you Bella Richmond, the CEO, BE-LOVE FASHION HOME, and Eddy Reads, the CEO, EDDY LAUNDRY and LOGISTICS. Cheers!!!. Watson was very happy for his siblings though not surprised because his father had already inform him of the plans earlier. Eddy and Bella couldn't believe their ears. They are small companies but noticeable ones in Oxford.Congratulations begin to pour here and there for both of them. The night was great.
