CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR
Things have gotten worse, the surgery was not successful but Catherine didn't tell her daughter about it.
She knew she would break down and she wasn't ready to see her two daughters dejected. There was nothing she knew of that could save Mirabella, something spoke to her to pray but she always waved the thoughts off her mind.
'She'd be fine.' Was what her mind kept saying, maybe she was just deceiving herself, maybe Mirabella would never stand on her feet again, she thought of her well being and anticipated her resting in peace forever at the same time.
Michal went to school to ease herself of all pains, though she knew a pest was in school to bug her but she had Hammed and he was there for her, there to make sure she was fine.
Exams for the second third term was approaching, the students had less classes and the ones that held were mainly for revisions to prepare the student for the exams ahead of them.
