I really wished to go home right away because I really don’t like the amount of people being rushed here daily. It breaks my heart,” Ken, who was standing next to her, chipped in with a sad scowl. “Honestly, it breaks my heart so badly that I wish to cry whenever I see such,” Kendell backed her brother.“Gosh! They talk like they have existed for ages,” Sofia, who stood not far from Rose, said to her in a surprised tone, and the entire room erupted in laughter. “You haven’t even seen anything; sometimes I wonder if they are really kids because they act so mature, and let’s not even talk about the way they talk,” Rose laughed.“I have already seen everything that is needed to be seen. The few days I have spent with them are enough
Chapter 128: A Family Chat “But I hope you are not in serious pain?” Ken asked, his voice laced with a concerned tone. “No, I am fine,” Derek lied, so his son would worry less.“Ok, I am glad you are, Dad,” Ken said with a broad smile, and Derek smiled back. “So, when are we returning home?” Kendell asked, desperation evident in her eyes.“It’s obvious you are tired of this place already,” Rose giggled, seeing the desperation in her daughter’s eyes. “Yes, Mom, I am so tired of this place and want to go home already,” Kendell replied.“Well, I seriously don’t know when the doctor would be discharging us, so I can’t answer that question,” Rose answered kindly, and Kendell pouted. “Ouch! I really wanted to go home,” she said, pushing her lips out and rendering her face in a sad scorn.“Don’t act like a baby now; you are a big girl,” Ken interrupted, already having enough of his sister’s silly behavior. Kendell gave him a deadly glare and hissed, “I am not acting like a baby; I just mis
Chapter 127: I Miss YouRose yawned and stretched tiredly on the bed. She rubbed her eyes with her hands and sat up from the bed. Her eyes quickly moved to the wall clock, and she flashed up from the bed immediately. She took a quick glance at her husband and daughter, who were still sleeping, before she rushed out of the ward.Outside the ward, she rushed to the surgery room, where she met the doctor standing outside the room, accessing a file in his hand. “Thank goodness!” the doctor exclaimed on sighting her. “I was looking for your details so I could call, but glad you came at the right time,” the doctor said with a bright smile.“I couldn’t sleep throughout yesterday night, and when I eventually managed to sleep, I couldn’t stop thinking, so as soon as it was daybreak, I hurried over here,” Rose explained hurriedly.“So, can I see them now? You said the surgery was successful,” Rose’s eyes danced around the doctor as she queried.“Yes, ma’am, the surgery was a success,” the doc
Chapter 126: Be Positive Rose sat on Derek’s bed after keeping her daughter next to her. She gave him a long stare of pity before pulling his hands into hers. “Derek,” she mumbled slowly.“Didn’t I warn you not to go after them? Didn’t I warn you to stay back with us and allow the police to do their job?” she said to her unconscious husband.“What if something happens to you? What if you have died? What would have become of us? Who gave you the right to come into our life and leave again?” She couldn’t hold back her tears this time around.“Your son is having surgery right now, and I am scared. You know I am not strong-hearted; you should have been here to comfort me and assure me that everything would be fine,” she sniffed, the pain hitting deep.“You should have been hale and healthy by now, and not lying unconscious on this hospital bed,” she continued. “So you better wake up now, because I am tired of seeing you in such a situation, because it is eating me up, and it isn’t funny
Chapter 125: The surgery After what seemed like an eternity to Rose, Sofia and the doctor showed up. Sighting them from afar, she rushed to them and inquired about the results of the test. Her worried eyes darted from her sister to the doctor as she awaited a response. She watched as the doctor’s lips spread into a bright smile before he replied, “They are a match.”“They are?” Rose exclaimed excitedly, and the doctor nodded, a bright smile on his lips. “I am glad I am able to save your son’s life,” Sofia said with a bright smile, and Rose pulled her into a warm hug. “Thanks so much, Sofia. Thank you,” Rose said amidst the hug.“Mom, does this mean that Ken will be fine?” Rose heard and immediately knew it was her daughter. She looked down below her, where the voice erupted, and there, in front of her, stood her daughter, just as she expected. She pushed out a bright smile and bent to her daughter’s level. “Everything is going to be fine now; everything will be perfect now,” she
Chapter 124: Check Mine The nurses pushed the stretcher into the surgery room; Derek lay weakly on the stretcher, and the officer ran after them.“Please, can you keep him safe? Please protect him,” the officer pleaded with the doctors, his face etched with worry.“We have no guarantee for now, but we will do our best to make sure that nothing happens to him,” one of the nurses replied in a comforting tone.The officer couldn’t respond; he just watched the nurse like a fool.“Ok, you can’t enter here with us, so please just remain outside and pray for him,” the nurse said when they finally got into the surgery room.The officer staggered back and fell weakly onto one of the chairs in front of him. He sat there, confused and unsure of the next thing to do.“I need to inform his wife about this; I really need to,” he muttered after a while, and he wandered off to look for Rose.He asked anyone he came across until he really got to a person who knew her.“Sorry, do you know about any pa
Chapter 123: Deadly Encounter Derek walked out of a corner, his frustration growing thin. His hands were placed on his hips, and beads of sweat washed down his face. His tired eyes danced around the police officer as he waited for a response.“Yes, sir, I just finished looking and can’t find anything, but the other officers are also looking around,” the man pointed to the rest of the officers who were combing the area.“And I also placed other officers to comb through other areas in the city,” the officer added, and Derek nodded casually.“Gosh! How could that jerk escape?” Derek felt a surge of pain wash through him, and his anger extended. “We really need to find them, because apart from the fact that they need to be brought to justice, I also have a lot of questions to ask them,” Derek said.“I will make sure we find them; they couldn’t have left the city, also because we have put officers in every exit and airport,” the officer reassured again, and Derek felt a bit of hope wash
“Oh my God! So you’re trying to say they escaped?” the officer fired, and the deputy couldn’t answer. “Jess!” the officer ended the call and turned to the eyes dancing around him. Before they could ask him anything, he threw it at them: “They escaped.”“They escaped? Who?” Sofia repeated, still not understanding where the officer was headed. The officer looked at each of them and blinked his eyes continuously before replying, “Dave and Anna escaped the station, and they are currently on the run.” The officer gathered all the strength he had in him and said. He watched as they all widened their eyes in shock, and how the women's eyes quickly moved to fear and worry. As for Derek, he grew angry.“We must find them; we can’t let them go just like that,” Derek folded his hands in annoyance and paced back and forth, still unable to control his anger. “But how can they escape? How were they able to escape such a big station?” He turned to the officer and frowned. “It’s your duty to ret
Chapter 121: They Escaped Rose unleashed from the hug after a while and stared into Sofia’s eyes. “Sofia, why did you got me worried? You weren’t picking up your calls, neither did you call me back to inform me why you didn’t pick up.” She gave her a stern look and looked at the officer. “Why is an officer with you?” She shuddered after processing it.“Lol! Don’t worry,” Sofia tapped her shoulders and said, “She could sense the fear that lies beneath her question.” “There’s nothing to be scared of, okay? He isn’t arresting me or anyone,” Sofia added, her lower lip stretched in a light smile.“Okay, what is going on here?” Derek’s voice sliced into their conversation, and his eyes quickly moved around them. It was only then that Rose realized that he couldn’t see the two of them together, but then it was already late; he had already seen them, and she couldn’t hide it anymore. She tucked a piece of hair obstructing her view into the back of her ear and turned to Derek. “She is my s
Chapter 1: Shocking News Rose husband, Derek, slammed a wad of papers on her face, his face filled with disdain for her, as he laced out his next words. “I want a divorce,” he said. His words came as clear as a joke to her, so they sent her laughing. Because, they is no way Derek could be asking for a divorce suddenly. “Are you kidding me?” Rose found herself questioning him in awe. “How can you be pulling my legs this much?” she chuckled, passing the paper back to him, “he must be joking” she thought. She had no idea what was written on the paper, but she was 110% sure that it wasn’t a divorce paper. Because why would he want to divorce her? And why so sudden? He never spoke about a divorce. “Don’t act like a fool now, Rose. Sign this paper immediately, so we can get this done and over with,” were the next words she heard from him, and his eyes pierced into her soul when he said this. “Are you kidding me or what?” Rose threw at him, already finding his joke boring, it was ...
