BLOOD LIVES HERE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Ludo walked to a nearby phone station and texted her father. After a while, a car pulled over and Joe came out. “Dad,” she ran and hugged him. “It’s alright Ludo, I’m here,” Joe led her to the car. They reached Joe’s house which he was renting and he led her to his bedroom and told her to rest.“How about you?” She asked. “I’ll sleep on the couch, don’t worry,” he answered. “We can shift tomorrow, there is a two-bedroom apartment next door for rent should you decide to stay long.” “I’ll be here for a while yea.” “Good I’ll make arrangements,” Joe sighed. “Do you want to talk about what happened?” “No dad,” Ludo answered.” Maybe tomorrow. ” “Okay baby Rest now you can tell me about everything tomorrow morning.” Ludo couldn’t sleep. She couldn’t get over the fact that her mother was behind everything that has been happening, and for what? Money. She felt betrayed. She slept at five in the morning and was awoken

Arriving at the hospital, Ludo called Melanie. She was fed up with this cycle. If it wasn’t the prison, it was the streets, now the hospital. She had promised herself not to involve herself in Evan’s life but as it stood, she was still in it. She walked to the ward he was admitted and before entering, she took a long deep breath. It had been nine months since she last saw him. She found Melanie talking on the phone while Evan had his eyes closed. She knew he was pretending to be sleeping because he knew it was her. She closed the door behind her and waited on Melanie to finish talking on the phone while she looked at Evan contemptuously. He had some stitches on his forehead, a black eye and a swollen lower lip. Whatever happened to the mighty Evan? She wondered before being interrupted by Melanie. “You’re here?" ” Yes,” Ludo sighed putting her handbag on a table. “Good, I have to leave. I left Zeus with the maid, she’s new and I don’t fully trust her

Ben and Devi exchanged glances after walking around the unfinished school building. They knew they were so close to having the chief sign up the deal. They had been patient enough and it was getting on their last nerves. What irritated them more was the surfacing of the Chief’s young son, Walutanga. Despite him being the youngest, what he was saying could alter the Chief's mind and now that they were so close to the deal, they had to do something.“I’m getting sick and tired of this,” Ben whispered to Devi.“You just don’t know how fed up I am with this already,” Devi whispered back.“Do something.” Ben urged.“What do you mean do something? What do you want me to do?” Devi looked at Ben confused. “Aren’t you the diplomat?”Ben watched the Chief and his two sons argue. “I think this is family business, don’t you think?”“I thought you

Hunter’s eyes opened and met with that of a young nurse by his side. He checked where he was and it seemed like a clinic. He looked around and saw a number of beds and some people laying on them. He tried to get up but felt a surge of pain on the lower part of his body.“Don’t move,” the nurse said. “You got burnt pretty bad.”“Ouch,” he moved regardless and saw his legs all burnt up.“I said don’t move or the burns will be rubbed.”“Where is the boy?”“Oh, the boy you were brought in with?”“Yes.”“He was taken to the city hospital. His burns are severe.”Hunter seemed a little confused, “How long have i been out?”“It’s been three nights now,” the nurse responded and went to tend to another patient.Three nights, he thought. He had never been unconscious for three nights

Early Sunday morning, Ludo woke up and came to her senses as she saw the bedroom she was in. She was at Melanie’s. She remembered what happened the previous day and reached for her phone. She found several missed calls from an unknown number and Lance. She had called her dad before she reached Melanie’s place. She didn’t know how to call Lance and tell him she had messed up. She didn’t want to think about that and got out of bed. She went into the shower and a couple of minutes later, came out and found Melanie on the bed with a tray of breakfast on her side.“What can i do without you?” Ludo reached for the tray. “You’re the only good thing from six years ago.”“I know,” Melanie smiled. “What happened yesterday?”“I’m sorry i didn’t tell you last night. I just wanted to sleep.”“I understand.”“Guess who i met?”“Who?&rdqu
