Andy kept patting her back and muttering words to her in order to console her. After a few minutes, he released from the hug when he felt that she had calmed down a little.“It is alright, okay, I am here with you.”He assured her without breaking eye contact with her.“But that was the same thing that you said yesterday, but you left, how am I certain that you won't do the same today.” Cherry asked incredulously with a frown.“Cherry, I told you that it was very time-critical, if you haven't eaten, sit down let's eat but if you have, you can go back to your room and have some rest.” He replied with a soft voice, though he was very pissed at Cherry. “I am sorry for being a burden to you, but all I want to know is that you won't leave me again. I was so afraid last night when I didn't see you, please promise you won't leave me.”Cherry said while holding his hand, and a lone tear slipped down her eyes.“You will never be a burden Cherry, so please forget about it, let's eat.”Andy said a
The truck kept moving, dragging Lucy along with it, it smashed a taxi and compressed Lucy in between them. At this point, blood began to ooze out from, Lucy's injured legs and hands. At a point, Lucy rolled over the top of the taxi and fell on the ground, hitting her head hard on a rock as blood gushed out from indescribable places on her body.The taxi which it kept dragging with it rolled down the roadside, thereby putting a stop to the movement of the truck.“Lucy!” Savannah ran towards her with tears running like a river down her cheeks.“Someone call the ambulance!” She said while looking up to the crowd which had gathered there.After a while, she heard the peeping sound of the ambulance and the siren sound, indicating the presence of the police men. The police blocked pedestrians from the crime scene by using a band.“Hey young lady, who are you?”A police man walked up to her and asked her.“Sir, I'm."she left her words hanging in the air as the nurses helped Lucy into the amb
Andy hugged her tightly to his body."``Nurse, nurse!'' He shouted at the top of his voice.He carried her in his hands for a while before the nurses came with a stretcher and took her to a different ward. He looked at his hands and noticed wetness on it. He didn't think much of it and brought out his handkerchief and wiped it off.After thirty minutes, the theater light went off, indicating that the surgery was over. He walked up to the doctor when he saw him walk out of the theater.“Doctor, how is she?” He asked the middle-aged man.“She's currently in comatose, almost all the parts of her body were injured, and she lost a lot of blood.'' The doctor explained further.“But we have a bigger problem on our plate right now.” The doctor continued when he heard no response.“She incurred vital injury in her brain, and secondly she's having an internal injury in her brain and if an expertise doesn't treat her she's likely to die before the end of today, our neurosurgeons that are availabl
Andy jolted at the sight before him, he wasn't prepared for any explanation, and seriously he didn't know what to tell Savannah that he was doing.“Hey, you are awake, how are you doing?” Andy asked with a straight face as he moved backwards and crossed his hands across his chest.“I… am good.” Savannah shuttered, still perplexed by Andy's action.“Here have some water.” Andy said and filled a glass with water and handed it over to her.“Thanks.” She replied and took the water from him and took a sip before she dropped it on the nightstand.“The doctor said that you need to rest, I will be out for some time, but Grace will be coming over with your food.” He uttered before he made his way to the door.“Andy?” Savannah called out.“Yes?” Andy replied and halted in his tracks before he turned to her and raised a brow at her.“What were you doing here when I woke up?” She asked and pointed to the floor where he squatted previously.“I was checking out something.” Andy lied and prays that
The doctor asked her to stay in the hospital for three days, but she ended up staying there for a whole week and right now, she's so fed up with the nauseous smell of drugs and injections.“Grace, I'm so tired of staying here.”She whined when she saw Grace walk into her room with a bag in his hands.“You will leave the day after tomorrow.”She replied with a grin on her face.“Grace, you promised I will leave tomorrow, so what's with the sudden change of mind.” She screwed in annoyance.“You have to visit the obstetrician tomorrow and after that,the doctor will discharge you.”She said while taking a seat on a chair beside her bed.“Can't I leave tomorrow?”She pleaded.Grace looked at her with amusement, it was clear that she was enjoying this little drama he was pulling. She smiled to herself and brought out the plate of ice cream in the bag she came in with.“I bought you the ice cream you asked me to.” She said with a broad smile.Ever since Savannah was admitted into the hospital, A
She took a deep breath before she dialed the number, it rang for a while but no one picked the call, she kept calling and the fifth time the phone was switched off.She slumped to her bed with a loud tug and tears clouded her eyes, her mind imagined a hundred and one reason why the doctor refused to pick her calls, but she could only hope she's just being paranoid.“Is he dead?” That thought kicked in again, and she couldn't help but let the cloud of tears slip down her cheeks, and within a few seconds she began brewing like someone who just lost a dear one.“Savvy, what's the matter?” Grace asked as she stroked into the room in quick strides, worry, and concern written all over her face.“I…” She stuttered, not finding the right words to describe why she's crying."You can talk to me, you know you can tell me anything at all.” She said while stroking her hair.She didn't feel the need to tell her about her brother and his hospital bill, she felt as though she might see her as a gold-
Cherry stood up from the sofa the minute she saw Grace walking out of Savannah's room. She knows that Grace hates her so much, probably because she caught her two years ago trying to sleep with Andy by drugging his drink, and the worst part of it was that he had a girlfriend at that time.She pleaded with her not to tell it to Andy, and she was grateful she didn't say anything to him, but since then, her behavior towards her changed dramatically. Before, she used to treat her like her daughter and also make Andy do what she wanted, but after that day everything changed, but Cherry didn't mind at all.“Hey, what's up with your behavior towards her?huh?” She asked Grace while scrutinizing her from head to toe as though trying to intimate her.“Cherry, mind you, Savannah is resting, and I won't want you disturbing her rest.” Grace answered before she tried to walk out on her, but Cherry held her hand firmly.“Cherry, what's wrong with you this morning?” Grace ranted in annoyance.“I aske
Andy entered inside his office and collapsed on the swivel chair. He had piles of work waiting for him, but he felt very exhausted. He heard a knock on the door and looked up.“Come in.” He said and returned his gaze to the document in front of him.“Good morning sir, someone by the name Max Hank is here to see you.” His secretary said when she entered the office.“Let him in.” Andy replied without raising his face up from the document. After some seconds, the door of his office opened and Max walked inside, dressed in blue jean pants and a red T-shirt with white sneakers.“Hey bro.” Max greeted and sat down on the seat that was opposite Andy.“What brings you to my office?” Andy asked without even raising his face up to look at Max.“Is this how you greet your friend who come to your office for the first time?” Max asked as he lay his back on the seat to relax more.“No one asked you to, but anyway, why are you here?” Andy asked with a serious tone and raised his head up.“I came her
For a minute Savannah felt the ground quake and then she leaned on the door frame. Her vision became blurry as she stared at the empty bed in front of her. She badly wants to scream his name but it is as though she lost her voice all of a sudden.As she scoured around the ward with her eyes yet there was no sight of her brother, she felt the ground began to twirl and she closed her eyes tightly."This is indeed a bad dream,I want to wake up."She muttered to herself with her eyes closed."Hello there."A Female nurse said to Savannah who was leaning on the door frame.Savannah slowly opened her eyes and stared at the lady in front of her. She opened her mouth to ask of her brother but her words betrayed her."If the proper medication isn't given to him, he will die at any moment."The doctor's words rang in her head and she closed her eyes again, tears began to flow down her cheeks."What's the matter?" The nurse asked and when she didn't get a reply she helped Savannah to a nearby chair
Andy didn't know where to find Savannah,so he decided to go to the hospital where Lucy is admitted to since Max told him that she's awake already. If there's anyone that he had always prayed never to be on his list of enemies is Douglas.One thing is certain Douglas doesn't know blood relations when he's dealing with people. Andy knows the old man as being cunning and ruthless but still it's been five years now and Douglas has been nothing but a supportive grandfather but right now he isn't sure if he has gone back to being the ruthless man everyone knew him for.Douglas had many cases of kidnapping, murder, illegal sale of organs and women trafficking but yet he hadn't ever been detained instead of that out of the blue someone will confess to being the real culprit and just like that_case closed.Andy ruffled his hair as he kept driving, his mind running on the many things his grandfather might have done to Savannah. Andy hates it that he can't stand against his grandfather no matter
Max looked at Lucy with bewilderment, he couldn't fathom anything. He was muddled, Lucy stared at him without uttering any word at all. He came closer and studied her. Yes, it is obvious that her face doesn't look the same at all but that does not erase the familiarity."Sweetest, don't you remember me?" He asked Lucy who shook her head in response."I am Maximum Hank, don't this name ring a bell." Max asked and came closer and out of impulse, he gave her a tight hug."You don't know how happy I am to see you." Max said when he released her from the hug and he sat down on the chair opposite her."Okay, you have to get one thing straight here, first of all my name is not sweetest and secondly I am Lucy." Lucy said with a soft voice."I don't believe it." Max replied as he looked at her skeptically."That is your business but I am telling you that I haven't meant you before now so please stop fooling yourself. I am not who you think I am." Lucy said with a scowl obviously irritated by w
Andy turned to chase after her but on a second thought he decided against it and it turned to his grandfather who was now pacing around the room as sweat dripped down his forehead, he knew that his grandfather must have known her from somewhere but in that case why all the drama."Grandfather, what just happened? How did you know Savannah?"He yelled at the old man even before he realized he was.He didn't receive a reply from his grandfather who was pacing around the room while ruffling his hair with his right hand and his left hand held his walking staff."Mr Douglas, can you tell me what the hell just happened here! Your silence is making me lose it completely!"He said with annoyance.He was surprised when he saw his grandfather take a bottle of champagne from the table in front of him and throw it against the wall as it let out a shattering sound."What in God's name do you want to hear?!"He blared while hitting his walking staff on the table."And for your information you aren't g
Andy was surprised to see Isobel in his office"Isobel,What in heaven's name brought you here?" He inquired from her with anger.With his peripheral vision he saw Harry and his secretary slowly walk out of his office and closed the door behind them making sure it didn't make a sound.He robbed his temple in annoyance as he stared at the lady standing in front of him."I came to check on you?"She replied while taking a seat in front of him."Isobel,to be frank, I hate this sudden obsession of yours. It's over between us, you ended it yourself, so why are you coming back all of a sudden.''He glared at her with anger in his tone."Baby, I know I wronged you but to be frank, I'm really sorry, please find it in your heart to forgive me,I meant it when I said I love you more than anything and I want us to start all over again."She said in one breath then stood up and smiled at him coquettishly."I know you still love me like you used to."She said in a sexy manner while walking towards him."I
Cherry who has been looking out from her window and saw when Andy left and is now coming inside with a gloomy face was a little stupefied. She knew that he must have met someone that changed his mood.So she decided to go and see for herself the person that made him look so angry. She went towards her wardrobe and took a long jacket and put it on and left.When she went outside, she looked around and saw a car parked not far away from the gate but she didn't see anyone around. "Well, well, well. Are you looking for me?" Isobel asked with a smirk on her face as she stood behind Cherry with her two hands placed on her hips. "Wow, it is a pleasant surprise to see you." Cherry said when she turned around and saw Isobel. "Yeah, I know. The pleasure is all mine. I see that you are still trying to replace me after all this time, well I am not surprised at all " Isobel said as she scrutinized Cherry from head to toe in a very rude manner. "You must be dreaming to think that you ever have a p
Cherry ran towards Andy when she saw him walk out of the dinning area.She knew that she might not have the time to talk to him that night if she didn't do something about it."Andy,can you give me an audience for a few minutes?"She asked in a pleading tone."What do you want to say?"He inquired from her as he turned to face her."Can we go for a walk in the garden? I will talk more freely there." She requested and he fixed his eyes on her for a while before he began to strode out towards his garden and she followed behind him."Andy,do you remember how we used to play together? Right here."She pointed at a spot in the garden but Andy didn't even act interested at all so she had to go straight to the point."Andy,my dad came today." She started as her eyes clouded with tears."I've been a terrible daughter and all I can do is to cry,I left him all alone in the house despite knowing how lonely he feels when I ain't there." She spoke with a quaking voice and after her last word she broke
Savannah was bewildered by the way Cherry's father shouted at her, though she fully supports him for shouting at her after all she deserves even more. How can someone return from an attack according to him and run to a friend's house no matter how she sees that friend of hers, she still could have stayed with her dad for a while at least "What kind of attack could she have survived?"Savannah mumbled to herself and at that instant she wanted to hear more of what Cherry's dad would say."I feel more comfortable here, you know that." She replied and rolled her eyes.She didn't expect what happened next, it took her by surprise because she didn't even know when he raised his hand but then the sudden burning of her cheek made her realize that her dad just slapped her."How dare you say that right to my face that you feel more comfortable in another person's house than your house? Cherry, what have I not sacrificed for you? When you asked me not to marry another wife,I did just that and no
Savannah kept staring at the person that owns the voice but couldn't pinpoint where she met him. Though his face was a little familiar, it was hard to recognize."Don't you remember me?" The man asked her with a scowl."Ahm…" Savannah opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out. She looked around and moved out of his body, she looked at him again and then remembered where she met him."Oh, you are one of our customers, right?" Savannah asked and he only gave her a nod. Savannah looked at him and remembered that he was the customer that she broke his drink but he paid for it and defended her. She felt like slapping herself really hard, how can she forget him. She looked at him and saw him still staring at her without making an attempt to go inside the restaurant."I am sorry for breaking your drink the previous day and thanks for everything." Savannah said with a smile and the man smiled back at her." No problem, why are you leaving so early?" The man inquired with a smile on his li
