‘Sly, I just asked you why my wife is lying on that cold table sacred out of her mind.’

‘Relax Glover.’

‘Or can’t you see her looking around. Have you even told her she is about to watch herself go under the knife? Nectar asked with a raised tone when he realized that was what Sly had in mind.

‘A hemorrhage happened and we need to do an open surgery.’ Sly finally said after two minutes of silence.

‘No, she can’t handle it. You know I can do this with anesthetic so give me way!’ Nectar said furiously and Sly blocking his passage through the door.

‘You know you can’t do that Glover. Your license would be revoked. I hope you understand what is at stake here.’ Sly said barely controlling his emotions.

‘So, what if I get kicked out of practice because I saved my wife. Sly you know I don’t really care about that now because that woman in there is much valuable than the lives I’ve saved since I joined you in this hospital.’

‘I know but you can’t go in now.’

‘What kind of a doctor would I be if I can’t save my own wife. So i prefer to be a shameless and jobless man than lose my wife.’ Nectar said with an overflow of tears.

‘Nectar.’ Catherine called from behind ‘Allow the good doctor do his job.’

‘But Mom I can’t allow him screw up everything.’

‘Then get him whatever information he came out to get from you. I believe that’s why he’s out.’

‘Okay mommy.’ He replied like a good boy.

‘And get over your fears and pray he could save your wife so it doesn’t end up as Keisha!’ Catherine advised barely holding on.

‘I don’t know how to do that mommy.’

Catherine ignored him for a second because she was also having troubles praying for her daughter.

‘And you still haven’t gone to see Pearl as i instructed Nectar. She’s a human being so you don’t get to use her and dump her.’ Catherine said angrily.

‘Mom, I can’t stand two pressures now and this is where my heart is so pardon me for now but i would see Pearl once your daughter is okay.’ Nectar said honestly and Catherine nodded.

‘I would trust you to make the right decision.’ His mother in law said and he nodded.

‘Now Sly, what did you say you need.’ He focused back on his friend.

Sly drew him closer and they got talking. For what seemed like a minute, the two doctors nodded to each other and Sly patted him while walking away.

‘Sly?’ Nectar called out when he was almost through the door. ‘Save her when it comes to it because we can always have another baby.’

‘But…..’ Sly was about to deny when Nectar interrupted.

‘No buts so do the needful.’ Nectar said rather keenly. ‘Whatever consent she signed I believe I can make changes. At least i can ask that of you as a friend.’ He said and walked away bumping into Matts who just stared at him.

Doctor Sly rushed in and the rest watched in the auditorium. Nectar could barely concentrate on whatever information he was giving out to the Doctor’s from where he stood.

For a while he was grateful everything was going on smoothly though with some few try and errors, the babies finally came out crying. Nectar saw Sly fixing them in their respective incubators.

Sly looked up finally and Nectar got the same expression he normally gives to his patient’s family when they pass on.

‘No.’ He yelled drawing the attention of both Catherine and Matt’s who were already in tears.

He rushed in there as if he was being chased bumping into Stacy in the hall way.

‘Get this on me now.’ He shouted at the nurses while pointing at the green overall.

‘Nectar take the babies now because she is already gone even long before the last procedure.’ Sly said signaling the nurses to pick up the babies who were fixed in their small incubator and yet to be transferred to their appropriate place knowing very well Nectar wouldn’t mind him.

‘No, she is not so, get the children out. And nurse get me a crush can.’ He said almost losing it.’

‘What are you doing Glover?’ He asked when he put on his gloves and fixed his hands in,side his wife’s opened abdomen where she was cut.

‘I can feel a tear in the lower abdomen and i just need to get it fixed.’

‘There’s nothing there because i checked very well.’ Sly said as he realized Nectar was practically losing it because he made sure everything went on well.

For a wh0le thirty minutes, Nectar gave up and sat on the floor. He fixed the supposed tear but still Kate didn’t wake up.

Matts who was peeping through the theatre window couldn’t handle herself, she turned away and met Wilson coming her way.

She was holding her tears back but the look on Wilson’s face made her cry out loud.

Stacy on sighting her crying Dad, practically rushed into his arms.

‘I’m sorry Dad.’ She cried out.

Nectar was about to turn away after a few more minutes when a miracle happened. The monitors started responding.

He stared to be sure he wasn’t dreaming. Nectar only came out of his trance when Doctor Sly filed pass him and started patching her up.

‘Glover, get over here and help me fix the Oxygen! If you are losing your job, you should lose for a good reason.’

‘I told you there was a tear.’ He murmured with tears in his eyes.

‘You were right and definitely have good eyes for this kind of surgeries.’

‘Be gentle you don’t rip the thread apart.’ Nectar said p-nting.

They did a collective final work and cleaned Kate up who had been rushed down to the Intensive Care Unit for further monitoring.

‘Wilson, it seems the worse is over but where did you go since morning.’ Catherine asked her husband who had gone missing since Kate was brought in.

‘I went to see Jane!’

‘Jane? Why?’

‘I had to warn her to stay away from my family.’ Wilson said with relief.

‘How did it go then!’ She asked though his facial expression had already given her the answer.

‘Catherine my mom is sick in the head, i believe that now.’

‘Wow, finally someone has agreed i wasn’t wrong.’ Catherine made a joke.

‘I realized that when she was bragging about how she wanted to get rid of Nectar but Mandela happened to get to their meeting point first which got him killed. Sorry i doubted you all along but she doesn’t get to hurt anyone again.’

‘You mean jane was responsible for Mandela’s death.’ Catherine asked.

‘Exactly so if everything works out, she should be getting a death sentence.’ Wilson said painfully.

‘No wonder the cops couldn’t find anything during their investigations.’ Matts who was eavesdropping to the couple’s conversation ch¡pped in.

‘Yeah, my mom was very careful but she’s already paying for it.’ Wilson said and Matt’s walked away from them by the door meeting Sly and her brother watching Kate closely.

‘Glover, whatever you did in there was above my expertise.’ Doctor Sly said after the worse was over.

‘I’m not sure if she would wake up the same though I have tried my best.’ Nectar replied rather sadly.

Matt’s spied them for a while and walked away to get a seat beside Kate while her brother followed to get a seat by her as well. Sly gestured him slightly and was walking out when they got interrupted by a voice and footsteps.

‘Matts, is there any change yet.’ She turned and saw Drake and his friends walking to where she was seated with Nectar as they ignored each other.

They have been frequenting the hospital for the past one week.

‘Nectar sit down and let him be!’ She said when Nectar angrily stood up to stop Drake from coming any closer to them.

‘I don’t need him here.’ Nectar said.

‘Katie would have wanted him to be here, besides I’m back with him now in case you hadn’t noticed so i don’t need you fighting my love troubles for me.’ Matts told his brother with anger.

He frowned and hit his hand on the bedpost then the monitors started beeping.

Nurses kept rushing in while Nectar did his checks. For about ten minutes, she finally started breathing.

‘She is coming around now.’ Nectar sighed and slumped into the seat beside Kate’s bed.
