Andy hugged her tightly to his body."``Nurse, nurse!'' He shouted at the top of his voice.He carried her in his hands for a while before the nurses came with a stretcher and took her to a different ward. He looked at his hands and noticed wetness on it. He didn't think much of it and brought out his handkerchief and wiped it off.After thirty minutes, the theater light went off, indicating that the surgery was over. He walked up to the doctor when he saw him walk out of the theater.“Doctor, how is she?” He asked the middle-aged man.“She's currently in comatose, almost all the parts of her body were injured, and she lost a lot of blood.'' The doctor explained further.“But we have a bigger problem on our plate right now.” The doctor continued when he heard no response.“She incurred vital injury in her brain, and secondly she's having an internal injury in her brain and if an expertise doesn't treat her she's likely to die before the end of today, our neurosurgeons that are availabl
Andy jolted at the sight before him, he wasn't prepared for any explanation, and seriously he didn't know what to tell Savannah that he was doing.“Hey, you are awake, how are you doing?” Andy asked with a straight face as he moved backwards and crossed his hands across his chest.“I… am good.” Savannah shuttered, still perplexed by Andy's action.“Here have some water.” Andy said and filled a glass with water and handed it over to her.“Thanks.” She replied and took the water from him and took a sip before she dropped it on the nightstand.“The doctor said that you need to rest, I will be out for some time, but Grace will be coming over with your food.” He uttered before he made his way to the door.“Andy?” Savannah called out.“Yes?” Andy replied and halted in his tracks before he turned to her and raised a brow at her.“What were you doing here when I woke up?” She asked and pointed to the floor where he squatted previously.“I was checking out something.” Andy lied and prays that
The doctor asked her to stay in the hospital for three days, but she ended up staying there for a whole week and right now, she's so fed up with the nauseous smell of drugs and injections.“Grace, I'm so tired of staying here.”She whined when she saw Grace walk into her room with a bag in his hands.“You will leave the day after tomorrow.”She replied with a grin on her face.“Grace, you promised I will leave tomorrow, so what's with the sudden change of mind.” She screwed in annoyance.“You have to visit the obstetrician tomorrow and after that,the doctor will discharge you.”She said while taking a seat on a chair beside her bed.“Can't I leave tomorrow?”She pleaded.Grace looked at her with amusement, it was clear that she was enjoying this little drama he was pulling. She smiled to herself and brought out the plate of ice cream in the bag she came in with.“I bought you the ice cream you asked me to.” She said with a broad smile.Ever since Savannah was admitted into the hospital, A
She took a deep breath before she dialed the number, it rang for a while but no one picked the call, she kept calling and the fifth time the phone was switched off.She slumped to her bed with a loud tug and tears clouded her eyes, her mind imagined a hundred and one reason why the doctor refused to pick her calls, but she could only hope she's just being paranoid.“Is he dead?” That thought kicked in again, and she couldn't help but let the cloud of tears slip down her cheeks, and within a few seconds she began brewing like someone who just lost a dear one.“Savvy, what's the matter?” Grace asked as she stroked into the room in quick strides, worry, and concern written all over her face.“I…” She stuttered, not finding the right words to describe why she's crying."You can talk to me, you know you can tell me anything at all.” She said while stroking her hair.She didn't feel the need to tell her about her brother and his hospital bill, she felt as though she might see her as a gold-
Cherry stood up from the sofa the minute she saw Grace walking out of Savannah's room. She knows that Grace hates her so much, probably because she caught her two years ago trying to sleep with Andy by drugging his drink, and the worst part of it was that he had a girlfriend at that time.She pleaded with her not to tell it to Andy, and she was grateful she didn't say anything to him, but since then, her behavior towards her changed dramatically. Before, she used to treat her like her daughter and also make Andy do what she wanted, but after that day everything changed, but Cherry didn't mind at all.“Hey, what's up with your behavior towards her?huh?” She asked Grace while scrutinizing her from head to toe as though trying to intimate her.“Cherry, mind you, Savannah is resting, and I won't want you disturbing her rest.” Grace answered before she tried to walk out on her, but Cherry held her hand firmly.“Cherry, what's wrong with you this morning?” Grace ranted in annoyance.“I aske
Andy entered inside his office and collapsed on the swivel chair. He had piles of work waiting for him, but he felt very exhausted. He heard a knock on the door and looked up.“Come in.” He said and returned his gaze to the document in front of him.“Good morning sir, someone by the name Max Hank is here to see you.” His secretary said when she entered the office.“Let him in.” Andy replied without raising his face up from the document. After some seconds, the door of his office opened and Max walked inside, dressed in blue jean pants and a red T-shirt with white sneakers.“Hey bro.” Max greeted and sat down on the seat that was opposite Andy.“What brings you to my office?” Andy asked without even raising his face up to look at Max.“Is this how you greet your friend who come to your office for the first time?” Max asked as he lay his back on the seat to relax more.“No one asked you to, but anyway, why are you here?” Andy asked with a serious tone and raised his head up.“I came her
Andy's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets when he heard his grandfather say those words. He looked at him and involuntarily let out a small laugh.“You can't be serious.” He said to his grandfather and shook his head in disbelief.“Andy, I am serious, it is either you marry her or she aborts the pregnancy.” His grandfather said, without breaking eye contact with him.“Look grandfather, we will talk about this some other time, please, I am not in the right frame of mind.” Andy replied with his eyes closed and his two fingers rubbing his temple. “Why some other time? It is better for you to marry her and save our family the shame of having an illegitimate child.” His grandfather urged him further.“Please, grandfather, let's visit this topic again and in the meantime, I will think about it.” Andy replied and looked at his grandfather with pleading eyes.“No problem, but I expect to hear the best answer the next time we talk about this. And moreover, I haven't seen the lady with my
Andy walked towards his study thinking that Savannah was tailing behind him, reaching at the door of the study he turned and noticed that no one was behind him. He sighed and walked into his study without closing the door behind him.He walked to the mini parlor attached to his study and opened a fridge. He took a bottle of Scotch from it and poured it for himself. He gulped down the whole content and refilled his glass.His head is in a haze right now, if only Savannah didn't get pregnant. Maybe he wouldn't be thinking of hundred and one ways to get his grandfather off his neck and knowing the old man, he will do anything just to make sure that his grandchild isn't born out of wedlock. He gulped down the liquor again and refilled his glass before keeping the bottle back in his fridge. He walked back to his study with the glass in his hands. He sat down on his swivel chair and ruffled his hair in annoyance.He can't walk up to his grandfather and tell him that he isn't sure about the
