"Nothing."

She replied. And I knew there was something indeed. I stopped the car at the footpath.

"Tell me."

She didn't replied.

"TELL. ME."

She turned around and looked at me.

"What tell me? You kissed me and then started driving and then started to enquire me.? Without even saying anything about the kiss."

I looked at her with an amused grin and said.

"I really craved those lips for two months and I was worried too that is why I kissed you. And I started driving because we were blocking the road and I was enquiring you because I was concerned."

She cleared her throat and looked out of the window, not saying anything.

I was going to tease her through the whole drive. I started driving the car.

"I was driving and from nowhere a car appeared and I lost my balance and hit the tree on the footpath."

Hmmm. I nodded. That could be the case a simple accident. The signal turned red and we stopped.

That's when I noticed there was an unread message on my phone. I checked it.

"It was a minor one. I hope you will not wait for the the major one.
Regards Mr. Calloway. "

My heart stopped. This not an accident. It was intentional. My thoughts were interrupted by a child's voice. I looked towards Erika to find her speaking to a child through her phone.

"Come back home early. Granny has to go. Hurry up and bring me ice cream."

She smiled saying " ok "
....

We arrived at her house to find Camilla and Ivan waiting for us. I had called Ivan before going to see Erika and that's why they came to check on Erika.

I guided Erika to sit on the couch when I noticed Mr Smith sitting on it already.

Erika left my hold and ran to him, the duo in tears.

"Dad is not still completely ok, but he pleaded to the doctor to let him rest at home. So he is here"

I heard Lily say.

"Why is everyone crying"

Ash asked hopping on the couch.

He held Erika's face in his little hands.

"I am sad that you are crying"

"Really"

She asked.

"Hmm. But can we have ice cream first"

A smile erupted on everyone's face on his innocence.

"I will serve the ice-cream "

I told them and everyone nodded.

"Why don't you help me, Camilla"

I asked.

"Huh, sure"

She replied following me to the kitchen.

I put the ice-cream pack on the kitchen counter and turned around showing Camilla the text message on my phone.

Her eyes widened and she covered her face with her hands.

"Did you see the results of your stubbornness? Enough, Camilla! Stop troubling people with you own problems. Deal with them by yourself"

Her face depicted such sadness that it gave my heart an ache. But she nodded in agreement totally denying the expression she held on her face.

I gave her the files that I found in Erika's car related to her case. She took them and silently walked away.

I looked at Camilla dusting her assignment which had ink spread all over it and it was all ruined. I approached her taking her assignment in my hand and said

"No worries, Lets get you assignment done once again."

She looked at me and snatched her assignment from my hands and said.

"Its okay. I will complete it by myself . Its my problem anyways. You go rest."

I narrowed my eyes at her and held her shoulders

"Listen, Camilla . You problem is my problem and I will solve it more efficiently than even my problem.

I wiped the lone tear and dialled the number of the one person who can surely help Camilla win the case.

Ivan

We arrived with Ash at our house since,Erika is injured and can't take care of him.

I entered the house with Camilla and Ash following and walked towards my room not looking behind when a voice stopped me. .

" Are you my dad?"
