Savanah turned her head to look at the hospital and the thought of seeing her brother when she was in so much pain hunted her. She hesitated as she took a step forward and turned back to face the road.
" I can't go in like this. I can't let the doctor or anyone inside the hospital see me this way. " She told herself and immediately stopped another taxi.
She wouldn't let anyone ask her any question that would increase her pain.
While inside the taxi, she thought of where to go. It would be a bad idea if she decided to go home when she was feeling so down and she did not want to risk the state of her mind.
" I should go to Lucy's side instead. " She mumbled and described the location to the driver.
On getting to Lucy's house, she was surprised to see Lucy waiting impatiently in front of her house and she immediately walked over to her.
" Lucy..." She called gently, attracting the attention of the bothered Lucy.
Lucy turned her head abruptly and her eyes lit up the moment she saw Savanah.
" Ah! Savanah, I've been very worried! Are you okay?" She asked with pure concern on her face as she placed her two hands on Savanah's shoulders.
Savanah's eyes twitched and she searched Lucy's eyes. " What are you on about? Did you hear anything or were you thinking I would kill myself?" She asked.
Lucy immediately shook her head and took a step back. " Actually, my friend that went for an interview at Andy's company told me she saw you walk out of the hospital with anger and sadness in your eyes. That scared me and I've been thinking of where to get you but I'm glad you are here right in front of me. " She replied.
" Shall we go in?" Savanah asked after sighing deeply. Hearing Andy's name brought back the sadness she had tried to hide behind her mind and she wanted nothing more than relaxing her head at the moment.
Lucy immediately nodded her head and took Savanah's hand. " Yes, let's go in." She replied and took Savanah's bag as they both entered her house.
She offered Savanah a glass of cold water before sitting down beside her. " Tell me, what did he say? Were you able to tell him about the baby?" She asked.
Lucy knew Savanah had no good news with the mood she saw her in and she was certain something bad had happened but her curiosity still took the best of her and she couldn't help but ask that question.
Savanah let out a sad deep breathe and relaxed her head. She raised her head and closed her eyes. " I told you I didn't want to go. I told you he's no good man and he is nothing but a common dirty piece of trash but you trusted him. " She said and paused.
" You told me to think about my condition and go to him but could you believe that the motherf*cker actually berated me and even called me a liar?!"
" What?!" Lucy exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth. If anyone had told her this, she wouldn't have believed it but the one saying it was her best friend and she knew Savanah would never tell a lie.
Savanah explained all that happened to her and Lucy was so shocked that her mouth opened wide!
" I never knew he is such a lowlife jerk! How could he?! How..." She started cussing but was cut off by the ringing of Savanah's phone.
Savanah checked the caller and her eyes darkened when she realized it was the doctor. " I guess he is calling to talk about money again." She mumbled sadly before answering the call.
" Hello, doctor Kyle..." She said gently.
" Miss Savanah, This is urgent, you have to..."
Savanah dropped her phone and let out a deep breathe. She need not listen to the content to know what the doctor wanted to say. She couldn't end the call but she did not want to talk either. So, the best action was to just drop the phone and let the doctor continue talking to space.
" That's the doctor again? " Lucy questioned no one in particular and her fingers ran through her hair.
She was just as frustrated as Savanah right now and she wished she was rich enough to help her out but unfortunately, she wasn't.
After thinking for a while, a thought came into her head and she smiled.
" I've got a solution..." she mumbled.

Savanah stopped in front of a very big restaurant and gasped. This was the first time she was seeing this restaurant live and she was impressed.
The emotion only lasted for a while before she cleared her throat and strode toward the restaurant while hoping and praying in her heart.
This kind of restaurant wouldn't allow just anyone to enter and that was why Lucy had made sure to dress her up nicely, even applying light make up on her already pretty face to enhance her beauty even more but she was still worried.
She stopped in front of the Securities but they all bowed to greet her before showing her the way which she immediately took after saying some words of gratitude toward the securities.
" The idiot is over there. " She mumbled to herself as her eyes captured the silhouette of Andy entering the restaurant and she immediately increased her pace in order to catch up to him.
" I don't know how Lucy knew he would be here but I'm glad I didn't have to come here for nothing. " She mumbled inwardly as she got closer and closer to Andy.
" Hey Scumbag!" She called irritatedly as soon as she got beside Andy.
" Huh?..." Like he already knew that was his name, Andy turned his head and was shocked to see Savanah trying to steady her breathing as she held on to his suit with sweat dripping down her flustered face.
She looked at his face and was pleased to see how shocked he was to see her there. She held onto his suit tightly, not letting it go at all. “What the hell are you doing? What is the meaning of this?” He asked with anger while staring daggers at her. “I won't let you go! You have to listen to what I want to tell you, if not I promise to create an embarrassing scene here” Savannah looked around her and observed that everyone was trying to mind their business by diverting their gaze to something else. “Are you perhaps insane?!” Andy was irked already, even though he didn't mean to yell, he couldn't help himself. “Okay, let's go upstairs and talk like two mature adults'' He squinted his eyebrows while staring at her. Savannah slowly released his suit and he sighed in relief, then shook his head slightly while climbing the stairs. He walked towards the elevator and waited for her to stand beside him, then pressed the button for the sixth floor, which is the VIP area of his restauran
Savannah did not see that coming, she looked at him intensely to see if he was perhaps joking, but it was useless looking at him because his expression was unfathomable.“What? Are… you serious?” She shuttered with bewilderment.“What else did you want, Huh?” Andy asked with an angry tone. Seriously, he was exhausted of this whole thing. If only if he foresaw having an encounter with her, he would never have made the mistake of coming there.He used his index finger and rubbed his temple because he was starting to feel a headache.“I just asked if you're serious and nothing more” Savannah retorted as she folded her two hands on her chest and stared at him.Andy looked at her before saying, “I am serious, move in with me so that I can watch you closely.If I find out that the child is mine, I will accept it, but otherwise, I will deal with you. “Andy spoke without breaking eye contact with her.“Are you sure about your decision? How am I certain that you won't change your mind tomorrow
Savannah didn't know what to do, she wasn't thinking straight as she ran out of the house. All attempts by her friend to call her back were abortive as she ran quickly. Reaching at the roadside, she stopped a taxi and entered inside it before telling the driver the location of the hospital.She didn't know that she was crying until she felt a salty taste in her lips but that was the least of her worries.Immediately the driver stopped at the hospital, she ran out after paying him and made her way into the hospital.She noticed that some people were staring at her but she didn't care as she ran quickly into the elevator that was crowded with people. She really wished to push the elevator faster so that it could be faster.She was so anxious, she bit her lower lip to stop more tears from flowing down but it was effortless as more tears slipped down her cheeks.Immediately, the elevator opened, she ran to her brother's ward and saw a doctor and nurses running inside it.Out of impulse, s
Lucy stared at Savannah, she wanted to say something when the waiter came and dropped their food on the table and left.“Let's eat.” Savannah said to Lucy with a smile before she picked up her cutleries and started eating.They both ate silently, in the middle of their food, they heard someone call out to Savannah, and they turned abruptly and saw a lady waving at them. She was in her hospital gown and looked very pale.“Hey.” She greeted with great enthusiasm when she reached where they were.“Hey.” Savannah greeted with an awkward smile because she couldn't quite recall where they met.“Don't you remember me? I am Sandra, your colleague at the restaurant.” She explained with a little disappointment in her voice as she sat down in one of the vacant seats beside Savannah.“Oh, Sandra, how have you been? I apologize for not remembering you earlier, I had a lot on my mind.”Savannah responded and took a sip of her juice before keeping it back on the table.“No problem, are you still work
She looked out of the car window and smiled at Lucy, who was still waving at her with a bitter smile. Even when the driver drove off, she kept turning her head to get a glimpse of her friend who was still waving at the moving car, after a while, she turned back to the road with teary eyes as Lucy was no longer in sight.The drive to his place was peaceful as it gave her the opportunity to think about her life, which was about to take a new turn for two possibilities;the better or the worst. She didn't even realize that they'd arrived until the driver came down from the car and opened the car door for her.“Oh! Thank you.”She said while walking out of the car.He brought out her belongings which were in the car truck and helped her carry it into the house. She followed him closely like a little puppy until she heard a feminine voice that startled her.“Good morning Miss, my name is Grace, nice to meet you.”The lady in her mid-forties said, with her hands stretched for a handshake.“Nic
Andy kept scrolling through his tablet as his driver drove the car, he was on the passenger's side of the car and his mind was solely on whatever he was reading.“Sir, we are here.” His driver said as he opened the car door for him to step out.He took his suitcase which was lying behind him and walked out of the car still holding his tablet in his hands, he made his way into his company, and his employees slightly bowed to him in greetings. When he entered into his private elevator, he began to scroll through his tablet again, going through his schedule for the day which his assistant sent to him.The elevator opened and he walked into his office. The minute he sat in his swivel chair, he heard a knock and sighed in annoyance as he knew that it must be his secretary.Nevertheless, he mumbled a come in and the door clicked open, revealing a young lady in her late twenties. She wore a pink suit which made it look very professional. She flashed him a beautiful smile, but he buried his
Andy didn't know the best way to react to what Harry told him. It all sounded like a joke to him, but then he knew that Harry wouldn't be joking about something like that. He cleared his throat, not knowing what to say.“How did it happen?” He managed to ask.“Mr. Jason emailed you through your official line, he said he couldn't get through to you.” Harry replied as he began to scroll through the tablet in his hands.Andy brought out his personal phone from his pants pocket and saw that it was still in an airplane mood, which he had set it last night to avoid being disturbed.“Here.” Harry said as he stretched his hands to show him the message on the screen of his tablet.“Harry, do you think whoever kidnapped her knows her status or is this just for money.” He asked Harry while ruffling his hair.“We aren't sure yet until we investigate properly.” He responded and began to go through his tablet again.Andy's phone rang, and he picked it up immediately, he saw it's Mr. Jason Cherry's
Andy stared at nothingness after the call was disconnected, he only continued with the discussion because he wanted Harry to find the exact location of the place. He observed that the people that kidnapped Cherry weren't professionals at all because Harry was able to track them down in not less than five minutes.That only implies that they might not have been sent by business rivals of Mr. Jason's, if that had been the case, they could have requested that he back off from a particular business deal or give them a certain document. He was glad that it was just for the money.He took his phone and dialed Jason's number, he knew how much the man loved his daughter and wishes to protect her. His wife died while giving birth to her, and he named her after her mother. She had an elder brother who died in an airplane crash ten years back, and since then, Andy took it upon himself to be her big brother.“Hello, they called and asked me to bring ten billion dollars, you know how…” He was stil
