Diane took the last sip of water from the cup, and threw it into the nearest bin next to her. She wiped her hands on her dress as she walked back to the reception.She paused her walking when she saw Jaden standing in front of a woman. His body frame covered hers, so Diane could not see who the person was.She moved to the back of a chair, to take a look at who she was. Jaden was backing her, he could not see Diane trying to peep at whoever he was talking to.Diane stretched her long neck, which is one of her best features, to take a good look at who it was Jaden was talking to.She opened her mouth slightly and nodded, the woman was pretty no doubt. With her pretty long legs and slim figure.Diane came out from behind the chair and scoffed, she got irritated by Jaden again. She spoke under her breath as she walked back to her seat.“Men will always be men”She walked past them and sat in her chair, crossing her legs. She didn't look in their direction, as she did not care about whate

Everywhere went dead silent to Matilda, it felt like the world came to a pause and she couldn't feel anything. She was choking from lack of air, her lungs felt tight.Matilda held the chair for support, Diane ran over to her side and at the same time Tiana also got up to assist her.Jaden was moved to help her, he already stretched out his hand to hold her but Diane got there first.The nurse came running out with blood on her scrub, the sight made Matilda feel more choked. She held onto Diane's hands tightly, tears were already gathering up in her eyes.Diane hugged her and patted her hair.“Matilda, everything will be alright”For a couple of minutes, they were all quiet, everyone went mute. Diane still held Matilda in her arms, cuddling her.Matilda got up immediately when the nurse from earlier came out again, this time she was not running or anything like that.“Where's my brother? What happened to my brother?”She held the nurse's scrub so tight, the nurse held her hand gently a

Tiana threw the pillow on the floor, she climbed up into the bed. She carried her father's hands and yanked it.“Dad, dad please wake up!”Mr Tom squinted his eyes, he used the back of his hands to rub his face. He looked at his daughter, he groaned as he sat up in the bed.Tiana placed her hand on her chest and sighed, she closed her eyes and wept so loud.Mr Tom was confused, he didn't know what to do. He moved closer and held her hands, he wiped her tears but she didn't stop crying.“Tiana, what's wrong? Did you just get back? Why are you crying?”She sniffled so hard, she opened her purse and brought her a small tissue. Her eyes were already bloodshot, she tried to speak and developed a hiccup.“Dad…dad I thought something happened to you. You were not responding when I called you”.Mr Tom chuckled and yawned at the same time. The yawn turned into laughter, Tiana folded her arms and pouted. He was making fun of the whole situation.“Princess, nothing happened to me. I was just tir

Jaden squeezed the bag in his hand, he stood there transfixed looking at them both. He took two steps backwards and ran his hands through his hair.The guy stood up and Matilda followed suit, he hugged her again and she was about to walk him to the door, when she suddenly stopped.Jaden looked back, he knew he couldn't leave now. They all just stood there, staring at each other.The man with Matilda tapped her, she was lost looking at Jaden. She jerked and looked at him and smiled, then her gaze returned to Jaden.Jaden looked at his feet and cleared his throat lightly. He scratched his head with the tip of the flower bouquet and bit his lip.Matilda walked up to him and smiled, she rubbed her palms together and was moving on her feet.“Good morning, sir. You're here”He put the flowers in her left arm, took her other arm and put the bag through her fingers.Matilda gasped and staggered, she almost fell from the weight of the bag. The young man that was with Matilda all through, went

Matilda pushed the emergency button next to Niki's bed stand, with her shaky hands. The remote control fell from her hands and went underneath the bed.She was so unstable as she bent down to pick up the remote. Niki kept gasping for breath, pulling the sheet with all of his little fingers.Matilda came from beneath the bed and went over to Niki. She was not even crying, nervousness had taken control of her entire being.She could not think at the point, her mind and her brain had gone blank. She carried Niki's head and put a pillow underneath his head.Diane came in at that moment, with a stick of ice cream in her mouth and one in her hand. The sight before her made the ice cream fall out from her mouth.She threw the other one she was holding in her hands at the back of the door, which splashed everywhere.“Matilda, what happened?!”Diane dashed towards them, she took Niki from Matilda and started to pat his face gently, trying to revive him.Matilda stood there watching Diane, her
