Chapter 4 I'll be back in a few

The moment Dr June disappeared, Natasha closed the door from inside before going to the bathroom.

She filled the bathtub with warm water before jumping inside.

She closed her eyes as bitter tears continued flowing.

She had tried convincing herself that she was not going to cry anymore for him, but she could not stop herself.

It was true that loving someone could be so sweet and, on the other hand, could be so painful.

The moment she left Kenny's house, she did not even know where she was going.

Her stepmother had always treated her very harshly and she did not think about going to the Johnson family.

Her father, Johnson Peter, had died in a car accident recently that involved his and Sophia's car, Kenny's girlfriend, although Sophia went into a two-year coma but woke up recently.

Kenny had told her that he was driving while drunk but Natasha knew that her father would never do such a thing.

She was told that he had died in a car accident.

Her mother , Sasha, had committed suicide when she realized that her husband had another woman who had a child with her husband.

Thinking about her dad,the best man she knew, Natasha felt a large lump in her throat.

She didn't know what she had done to deserve all that was happening in her life.

Her mother committed suicide,her dad died in an accident and the only person she thought would give him happiness disappointed her.

She even questioned her existence. She thought that she was bad luck to society.

If not for Dr June,maybe she would have slept on the streets that night.

Dr June was the one who attended to her when she visited the hospital.

He was the one who told her that her blood was being given to Kenny's girlfriend and that she did not have any kind of illness.

If not for him, she would never have realized that Kenny had been using her as a blood bank for two years.

She had thought that Kenny laved her but she now realized that she was lying to herself from the very beginning.

After staying in the bathroom for almost an hour, she wiped her body dry and picked some pyjamas from her bag before putting them on.

She was not in the mood to eat anything so she lay on the bed to sleep.

After a few minutes ,she was already asleep.

On the other hand, Kenny rushed to the hospital and inside the ward she saw Sophia lying in bed with her eyes open.

His mother was holding her hand as she talked to her.

"Kenny, you are here. Where did you go?" She asked.

"I was going to meet a friend when you called me," he said as he pulled a chair to sit at the side of the bed.

"Kenny, you should always keep her company, don't leave her alone, she has just woken up from a coma and who knows if something might happen to her again," she said.

"It's okey mum," Kenny responded.

"When is she going to be discharged?" Kenny asked.

"The doctors said that she should stay till tomorrow so that he can observe her," Kenny's mother explained.

Mother Kenny stood up and went outside to pick up her phone, which was vibrating.

She looked at every corner to make sure that there was no one to eavesdrop on the conversation.

"Are they divorced? Where is she?" Mother Kenny asked.

"Yes madam, he signed the divorce papers and she left," she heard the voice from the other end of the phone.

"Good work," she responded before ending the call.

Inside the hospital ward,Kenny did not utter even a single word to Sophia.

He could roughly guess that she had faked the fainting so that he could not chase after Natasha.

Kenny could not stop thinking about her but he was sure that she was okay, since June had already taken care of her.

Mother Kenny came in later and sat beside the bed as if she had done nothing.

Kenny looked at his mother and he could guess that she was behaving suspiciously, but he could not bring himself to question her.

He did not want to make a single mistake that would cost Natasha's life.

"Sophia, how are you feeling now?" Mother Kenny asked.

"OK, don't worry too much mum," she responded in a low voice.

"OK daughter, you don't have to strain yourself with Kenny here. I am sure that you will get better quickly," mother Kenny said.

Inside her heart Sophia did not want to think that Kenny did not love her.

She convinced herself that she was the one that Kenny loved and he would marry her.

With his mother around, Sophia was sure that Kenny would never disrespect his mother, so if she asked him to marry her, then he would eventually marry her.

It was her biggest dream to become Kenny's wife and she did not want any woman to have him.

"Kenny,I have to leave and I hope you will take good care of her," mother Kenny said.

"No mum, you can't leave her alone, you have to stay so that you can help her do things that I am not able to help her do," he quickly said.

Kenny did not want to be left alone with Sophia.

Everytime he looked at her, he felt nothing other than hatred and disgust.

Everytime she tried touching his body, he felt as if he could throw away her filthy hands every time he washed the place she had touched thoroughly, but he was not able to do that.

Kenny did not want them to guess his intentions, since if they found out about his plan, then he would not be able to save Natasha.

He needed to make them believe that he was in love with Sophia and was planning to marry her.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated and he stood up to go and make the call.

"We need to talk at our usual place," he heard the voice from the other end of the call.

Kenny went inside the hospital again. He kissed his mum on the forehead, then did the same to Sophia.

"Mum, I am going home to pick up a few clothes for Sophia and you and also my laptop, since there is something I need to work on. I'll be back in a few minutes," he said as he forced a smile.

He asked the hospital staff to bring another small bed for his mother so that she could rest next to Sophia.

"Sophia,mom, you two should rest and I will be back," he said.

Sophia felt happy too when she heard his caring words.

Mother Kenny nodded her head," It's okay son, drive safely."

Kenny quickly drove out of the hospital.
