The doctor quickly checked her and also noticed the bruises on her wrist. He promptly called a medical team, and Julia was sent to the ER. His phone rang and he checked the caller ID. He knew who it was and decided to ignore the call for now. Back at the Hawards apartment, Fiona sat comfortably on the sofa in the living room, with James and Mrs Haward. "You are welcome to my humble home," welcomed Mrs Haward. "Thank you," responded Fiona and James who was sitting next to Fiona with his legs crossed smiled. "I know we got off on the wrong foot but you can understand, a mother's love for her children. You are about to become a mother soon. I am sure you understand," Mrs Haward said with a smile and Fiona smiled back. "I can understand. I also want to apologize for my behaviour that day. Taking an issue as delicate as this to the public was not the best way to handle things and for that, I am deeply sorry for the humiliation and the problem I caused you all," Fiona apologized soun
Jason lifted his head upon hearing the words that had just come out of her mouth and what Julia saw left her surprised. Julia was utterly surprised to see tears in Jason's eyes. For almost a year she had lived with him, this was a side of him, she had never seen before. She has never seen him express this kind of emotion. She stood there staring at him shocked. "All this while she was talking, he was crying?" Julia thought still staring at Jason. Jason on the other hand will only allow Julia to see him this vulnerable. He lowered his head when his sharp ears picked up the sound of the doorknob turning. Julia turned to see who had entered when she felt a presence behind her. "Ah, you are finally awake and even standing," said the doctor who had just walked in. "How are you feeling now?" he asked and Julia frowned her brow. "I, I, I am fine," Julia replied turning to face the doctor. "Great, your test results came out fine but what happened to your hand? Look's like injuries sustai
The very words Julia had wanted to hear from Jason some months or so ago, he was saying them now. Julia reached out her hand and cupped the side of Jason's face. Jason held her hand and kissed her palm. Julia was greatly moved by his confession but she was not sure how to feel about it. "Can I trust him? He abducted me. That is how I moved to his apartment. I have no reason to doubt he is responsible for what happened at the warehouse. Did he put me there just so he would tell me this?" Julia thought her hand still on the side of his face. Using both hands, Julia wiped Jason's tears with her thumb and pulled him up to his feet. With Jason now standing Julia appears to be short. She led him to the sofa and they both sat down. "Jason," Julia called his name and Jason lowered his head. "Please look at me," she requested and Jason lifted his head to look at her. "I was first to fall in love with you and you hurt me so bad. You are a great man and I don't know what happened to you bu
"Matilda since channelled all her love towards James," Dr Andesh said and Mr Wellington raised an eyebrow. "I see, that makes sense. I see now why she was so fond of James. He is the child of her true love," Mr Wellington added. "But what is Mirenda's story?" he asked. "A prank gone wrong," Dr Andesh said and Mr Wellington looked at her with a squinted brow. "Well, Matilda and her friends went out to party and her friends decided to prank her by putting her next to a kind of man she will never breathe the same air with," Dr Andesh narrated. "You don't say," Mr Wellington said. "What kind of man is that?" he asked. "Low class, not rich with no taste in fashion," Dr Andesh replied. "So, what did her friends do," Mr Wellington asked. "They put Matilda and the guy in one of the private rooms, both dead drunk and forgot about her. Well, they didn't stay quiet and a couple of weeks later, Mirenda happened. She couldn't get rid of the pregnancy because her husband found out and w
"Mrs Haward," Peter whispered on his lips. "Which hospital please?" he asked. "I will send you the address," Dr Andesh replied and the call ended. Dr Andesh dialled Mr Wellington's number after sending Peter the hospital's location address. "Sir, I am sorry to inform you that the emergency I have at my hospital is your son," she informed Mr Wellington. "What!" Mr Wellington shouted on the phone. "What happened to him?" he asked. "I still don't know. We are still running tests to understand what is happening to him," Dr Andesh replied dejectedly. "I am coming over," Mr Wellington replied and ended the call. Dr Andesh went back to the ER to check on Jason. Some of the results were ready and again, everything looks fine. She moved him to one of the private wards upstairs and put some guards to prevent an unauthorized person from entering. Nothing shows Jason was physically ill as all the results show everything was fine yet he will not open his eyes or speak. He appears to be
"Why do you have this here?" James questioned angrily and Fiona swallowed hard sitting on the bed. "I..I...I," Fiona hesitated unsure of the best explanation to give that would sound convincing. "Answer me dammit," James yelled at Fiona making her jump on the bed. "I just wanted something for later?" Fiona said the first thing that came to mind. "Wait, you wanted a video of us in bed?" James asked with an eyebrow raised and Fiona decided to go with it. Fiona didn't think through what she had just said. She had just said it but now she can't take it back. "Yes," Fiona replied and covered her face with the pillow. "I didn't know you were into that kind of thing," James said and walked towards the bed still holding the phone in his hand. "You should have told me first. I don't like that, so delete the video," James said and climbed the bed, pulled the pillow from her face and handed the phone to her. Fiona now wonders what will be the first thing that will show if she unlocks t
"What happened to Jason?" Julia asked sitting up immediately on the bed. "Ms Julia, he is in the hospital?" Mary announced and continued with the call. "Did he come to see Julia?" asked Peter. "Yes, he was here hours ago," Mary replied and Julia got up from the bed and took the phone from her. "What happened to Jason?" Julia asked anxiously. "Not sure but he is here at the hospital. Please, I need you to tell me what happened when he came around," Peter asked. "Which hospital? I want to come over," Julia said. "She wants to come over but I am not sure of her safety. Especially when Mrs Haward is after her," Peter complained to Dr Andesh and Mr Wellington. "I will have someone pick her up, give me her address," requested Dr Andesh. "Julia, kindly send me your address, someone will come to pick you up," Peter said to Julia. "Okay," Julia replied and sent her address to Peter quickly. "Ms Julia, what did they say is wrong with Mr Haward," Mary asked seeing the call had ende
Jason kissed Julia back wrapping his arms around her. Outside the ward, Dr Andesh, Peter and Mr Wellington stood a couple of distances away from the door to Jason's ward which had two guards standing on either side of it. "So what do you think happened to him?" Mr Wellington asked. "I think he had a case of situational syncope," Dr Andesh replied. "Situational sync......what now?" asked Peter. "Situational Syncope?" Dr Andesh repeated. "What is that?" Peter asked and Mr Wellington rolled his eyes. "Situational syncope is when a patient faints in response to a specific trigger, or a specific situation. In Jason's case, Julia was the trigger," Dr Andesh explained. "What do you mean?" asked Peter. "High emotional stress," Dr Andesh replied. "Wait..." Peter was about to ask another question when Mr Wellington cut in. "He did a love confession and got rejected," Mr Wellington chips in. "Nice, you are learning fast," complimented Dr Andesh. "You forget I once owned a lab
