Back at the park, Ruth had cried her heart out and could cry no more. As she stared at nothing with a blank expression, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She slowly turned to find out who it was. She jump out of fright and froze in place "Surprise to see me?" Nicked asked and moved from behind the bench to sit next to her Ruth just stared at her speechless "I will go straight to the point," he began and staring directly into her eyes "My presence cost you, your job. I am here to make you an offer," he said and paused looking at her Ruth was still staring at him like she was a statue "Marry me?" the words came out of his mouth He said it once but Ruth heard it multiple times in her ears. "Why?" she finally spoke "I want to take care of you," he replied "Why?" she asked again confuse about the request. He broke up with her for reasons best known to him. If anything, he never gave her the chance to even explain whatever he had as a reason for breaking up. How is it

"I accept your offer," she said as soon as the call connected and the corners of Nick's lips curled upwards"Good girl," he said "Once your mother's condition is stable, we will get married," he said "What!" she exclaimed "Why?" she asked wondering why he wants to marry her that fast. Her mother and sister are all she has and from what he is saying, this marriage will be done by just the two of them. Her mother will still be at the hospital and her sister would not be present either even if she wanted her to. "I don't want anything public," he replied "I only want the law as a witness," he added "Nick, what is going on? Why the sudden decision and why like this?" she asked and briefly looked to see if her mother was still sleeping. Seeing she was still sleeping, she exited the room and stood behind the door to continue her call. "I let you go once and I am doing it again, now that I found you," he replied sounding like he was yearning to be with herHis words went through Rut

"You are going to be fine," she said looking at her mother who had been served her lunchRuth was called to the doctor's office later that day"Ms Brown, have a seat," said the doctor once they were both inside the doctor's office"So I have the results of your mother's lab rest. We also run a couple of requests per your husband's request," the doctor saidRuth raised an eyebrow but remained silent "The results are very good. She is recovering very well. There is no blood clot behind the eye which means, your mother's eyes are safe now. We also checked the possibility of restoring her speech and it is very possible. She will be able to go through the surgery to restore her speech," the doctor explained "You mean my mum is no longer losing her sight and she will also be able to speak again?" Ruth asked to confirm what she had heard"Yes, we start preparing her for the surgery which we are scheduling three days from now. As informed all the tests conducted reveal she can undergo the s

"Ms Brown, where did you go? We have been looking for you everywhere. Your mother just had a cardiac arrest. We managed to save her but she slipped into a coma," he informed her"What!" Ruth exclaimed and her hand flew to cover her mouth as tears flow freely down her face.She crushed to the ground crying. One of the nurses helped her to a seat as the doctor walked away to attend to other patients after delivering his message. "She will be fine," the nurse consoled before leaving Ruth to seat by herself crying "How can I be so stupid? Why did I leave her alone," she cried still sitting in the patient's waiting area. After a few minutes, she saw her mother being pushed back to the ward. She got up and followed them into the ward. They attached the monitors to her body and left the ward with the empty stretcher. Ruth sat on the bed holding Mrs Brown's hand in her, as tears streamed down her face. Outside the ward, in the corridor, someone in a hoodie walked towards the staircase

Meanwhile, on another side of Los Angeles, Chantel had arrived home and taken a shower "So, what is the latest update," Mrs Hayford asked"She is in a coma with no signs of waking up," Chantel replied excitedly"That is good but she can get better. I want her left in a vegetable state," Mrs Hayford said "Why don't we just end her," Chantel said as that is what she had told the man to do when he called to update Mrs Hayford "No, the life she owe had been paid for. A husband for a husband," Mrs Hayford said pouring herself a glass of wine "If you put it that way, I guess our revenge had ended," Chantel said with a smile "You do forget, she has not paid for her offence yet.

How do we make her pain for that?" Chantel asked "My beautiful angel, both of them will pain for that. I will
