Flashes of his father’s face repeatedly ran through his brain. The picture was similar , Dr Grant, on the white glass floor tiles with his hands clutched to his stomach trying to hold back some severe bleeding!
He grunted in pain as he lay there helplessly. It was evident that he was trying hard to Stay conscious.
“Dr Grant!” Ronald called as he rushed to hold the poor doctor whose eyes looked pale, like he was loosing touch with the real world.
In the large room, everything was white - the bed sheets , the curtains, the floor, the lights. Only the furniture was brown, and of course, the blood stains at several points in the room, indicating Dr Grants struggles to stop the bleeding before he started falling into shock.
“Dr Grant! Sir!... Stay with me! “ Ronald continued tapping his cheeks.
No answer, only noisy breathing

But now, he's so stupid hot!"Chinny-swag!" he teased and smiled as he opened his arms, exposing his wide chest for a hug. But Dang! Chinny was still standing there a bit lost in her imaginations, she had never been the one to hide an emotion, feeling or expression.She really wanted to see Uche- the father of her child, but, what she got was way hotter than what she had budgeted for.Just look at that smile that made his dimples prominent, his dentition, his biceps!She'd always loved Uche, although she initially couldn't explain what kind of love that was.

You just didn’t change much that’s all” “ are you sure?” “yeah…” she gave a fake smile unsure of what next to say as her anxieties were getting the better of her. Her anxieties not because of Uche's presence, but because of the whole plan- the reason, the reason for her return.He didn’t know, no.

Scorpion, who’d just been standing at some corner couldn’t help but smile at how happy they were. He’d been reluctant about the whole thing, but now he was okay. He only had a few more hours to spend in Nigeria as his pilot had confirmed he was already set at the airport awaiting their arrival so they could take off.But he didn’t want to and even scorpion saw it.
