What’s going on?

Rhoda wonders as doctor Hemsworth and some other people rushed past her in the hallway.. she recognizes one of them as Marcus.

But before she could stop him to ask what’s going on, he’s gone out of reach.

Why is Marcus here? She stands there for a few minutes, before walking towards her office… with a small frown on her forehead.

Few meters to her office, she heard a group of nurses murmuring.

* Something like this has never happened in this hospital before.

* Doctor Hemsworth’s operation has always been a successful one.

* God! He’ll be so devastated right now.

* Is he gonna get fired?

Rhoda feels like she’s heard enough, so, she walked past them quickly.

The nurses keeps quiet when they saw her, unknown to them she’s already heard their conversation… Just that she couldn’t point out what exactly is going on.

“Miss Statham!” She heard her assistant called her.

She stopped and turn around, her assistant rushed towards her with some files in her hands.

“Miss Statham, I have collected Mr Felix’s information from doctor Lindsay.. per your instruction!”

Rhoda nods, she continues walking and her assistant follows behind… they arrived at her office.

She opened the door and they step in, she walks straight to her chair and sit down.. her assistant dropped the files on her table.

“Right… What’s going on today, Riley?” Rhoda asked.

“I don’t understand, Miss Statham!”

“Since I arrived, I have been hearing murmurs around… doctor Hemsworth also seem to be in a rush!”

Now that she’s thinking about it, she should have followed him to find out what’s happening.

“He did an operation and it wasn’t successful.. he lost the patient!”

“What? How?” Rhoda exclaimed with a shocked expression.

“Nobody knows what went wrong, doctor Hemsworth has always been careful.. so, this is a shock to everyone!”

Rhoda nods thoughtfully at her Riley’s words.. Hemsworth never make mistakes.

“I heard the director has heard about it and he’s very furious…doctor Hemsworth might get fired!” Riley said.

Rhoda’s frown deepens.

“Then where was he rushing off to?”

“One of his nurses said the boy’s breathing again!”

Releasing a relief sigh, she reaches for a file and opens it.

“It’ll be a good thing if that boy survives.. doctor Hemsworth is one of the best doctors here, it’ll be a pity if he’s fired!”

Riley nods in support of Rhoda’s words, since she started working with Rhoda.. she haven’t heard Rhoda compliment someone…this is the first time.

“Who’s the boy’s family?”

Riley thinks for a brief moment, she heard the nurses talking about it a while ago.

“I think his sister’s name is Anastasia Lopez…”

Rhoda sprints up at once, as if the chair was suddenly set on fire.. she narrows her eyes on Riley.

“What did you say?”

“I said his sister’s name is Anastasia Lopez!”

Not saying another word, Rhoda rushed out of her office.

Matilda’s pov 👠

It’s been a few minutes, since doctor Hemsworth rushed into the operating room and shut the doors.

Marcus sits on a bench, while I pace worriedly in front of him.. my heart pounding as I pray silently that a miracle should happen.

“Where’s the boy?” A lady asked as she rushed towards us.

Marcus got up the moment he saw her, he walked towards her and pass her a smile.

Do they know each other? What’s their relationsh¡p? I wondered as I glare at her.

Hold on… why am I glaring at her?

“Rhoda, what are you doing here?” Marcus asked her.

“I heard something went wrong with Anastasia’s brother’s operation and….”

“Nothing went wrong!” I cut her off.

I walked closer to them, I eyed her for making such comment.

“Who are you and what are you here?”

She looks at me with her eyes narrowing in confusion, she passes a confused glance at Marcus.

“Who is she?” She asked Marcus.

My frown deepens. I’m talking to her, why is she asking Marcus instead of replying me.

“Hello? That’s my question!”

Marcus chuckles lightly and wraps his arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him.

“Rhoda, meet my girlfriend.. Matilda..”

“Girlfriend?!” I elbowed his stomach and he released a small grunt.

“Not yet, not yet but soon!” He added with a light laugh.

Then I raised my eyebrows at this Miss world standing in front of me.

“Matilda, meet Rhoda… Nicklaus’s elder sister!”

Oh! So she’s Mr Statham’s elder sister?! Definitely, he’s like an elder sister to Marcus too!

I feel myself breathing in relief.

“I’m Matilda Spears… Anastasia’s best friend!” I said and reached out my hand for a handshake.

She stares at my hand briefly, before wrapping hers in mine briefly too.

“So… what is happening here?” She asked.

“Well, let’s just say doctor Hemsworth is trying to save Denzel” I replied.

Rhoda nods and leans on the wall, she looks around with a frown.

“Where is Nicklaus and Anastasia? Why are they not here?”

“I guess Anastasia couldn’t take the news of Denzel’s supposed death.. she ran out and Nicky followed her!” Marcus replies… choosing his words carefully.

Statham enterprise… 6pm…

It’s the end of work for today and it’s time for workers to go home, everyone has gone home too except Claudia.

She sits in her office as if she’s waiting for someone or something… though there are some files in front of her.

After staying in her office for sometime, she got up and head towards Nicklaus’s office.

The lights are still on, she smiles as she reminiscises those days when Nicklaus would be working overtime.

It was her job to constantly remind him of going home, sometimes, he’d listen to her and other times he’d not.

Could it be they are having troubles already? She wonders.

She wanted to head back to her office and continue waiting.. but she decides against.

This is the time for me to strive! She thinks…she grab the door handle and pushed it open.

With a bright smile, she stepped in.. but the smile suddenly wipes off and replaced with a frown.

Her eyes scan around the office but they couldn’t find Nicklaus, she sighs..

Just then her phone vibrates in her pocket, she quickly reached for it and sees that man calling.

She quickly turn off the lights and steps out, before receiving the call.

“Hello?”

“I have something new for you, let’s meet!”

She stops by the door of her office and pushes it open.. she steps in.

“When are we meeting? And what time?” She asked.

“Tomorrow, 9:30pm!”

“Ok!” She hangs up and shoves her phone in her bag.

After packing and arranging the files scattered around on her table, she flings her bag on her shoulders and head out.


The elevator doors open and she steps into the first floor, she releases a yawn and heads towards the exit door.

An employee who seem to have worked overtime and was just closing saw her..

“Miss Claudia!” She calls.

Claudia stopped while the employee catched up with her.. this employee seem to be one of the few that get along with her.

“Miss Claudia, I didn’t know you’re still here.. I thought I was the only one that hasn’t gone home yet!”

Claudia didn’t reply her, she simply continues walking.

“I guess you were waiting for Mr Statham…”

She trails off and wait for Claudia’s response, but there’s none.. so she continues.

“I saw Mr Statham and his girlfriend…”

Claudia stopped walking and throws her a very harsh glare.

“That bi*ch is not Nicklaus’s girlfriend!” She snaps at the employee.

The employee nods quickly and continue her report.

“They left in a hurry this afternoon!”

“When did they leave?” Claudia asked.

“I think around lunch time!”

Claudia clenched her fist tightly and glare at nothing in particular.. she grits her teeth.

“That bi*ch! Always getting in the way!” She growls and angrily storms out of the building.

Meanwhile, Jack sits in a chair at the place he and Anastasia normally meet.

He opens the last bottle of beer on his table and take a large gulp.. his face already turned red from too much drinks he’s had.

*I don’t wanna hate you and I don’t want to have you as my enemy.. just don’t show yourself in front of me ever again!*

*I trusted you so much, but what did you do? You lied to me!*

*I’m disappointed in you, Jack!*

He begin to recalls Anastasia’s words to him when she found out he lied.

Then he reminisces when they were happy.. him, Matilda and Anastasia.. how they were always having fun together.

Thinking back to those days, he suddenly realizes that Anastasia had showed him all her love for him.. he was just too naive to notice.

He chuckles… slurring.

“How funny life can be…it plays the most expensive joke on you!”

He grabs his bottle of beer and take another large gulp.

His mind went back to how Anastasia had firmly promised him that she would be here.. he grab his beer again and downs everything in one gulp.

He throws the bottle roughly on the table, the bottle wasn’t balance.. it falls and crashed.

Jack got up, he dipped his hands in his pocket.. he pulls out his wallet, he takes out some money and placed it on the table.. before heading out.

He staggers as he walks.

Matilda’s pov 👠

LA city hospital…6:27pm…

My gaze remain on the doors, expecting them to burst open any minute… expecting to hear some good news when it opens.

I hear a tapping and turn, it’s Rhoda tapping her feet impatiently on the floor.

“Rhoda?” I called.

She turns to me.

“Are you a doctor here?” I asked.

She nods in reply.

“Then, don’t you have work to do?”

“Yes, I do.. but I can’t leave!”

She can’t leave? What if her patients are waiting for her? Or is she not an attending doctor?

“My brother is not here, I’m representing him!”

Oh, that makes sense.. it none of Mr Statham’s family isn’t here, it won’t look good!

“Doctor Hemsworth!” Marcus called.

I turn my attention back to the doors, doctor Hemsworth walks towards us with a very deep frown on his face.

Uh-oh, this doesn’t look good.. don’t tell we got our hopes up for nothing.

My heart starts pounding, three times faster than before.. God, I have never been so scared before!

I’m scared of what will happen to Anastasia if Denzel doesn’t really make it.

Rhoda clears her throat.

“Doctor Hemsworth, how did it go?” She asked.

Although, her voice is firm but I can tell she’s panicking deep down.. from the way her hands are shaking beside her.

Wait.. she doesn’t know Denzel, right? Then why is she panicking like this?

I guess, she’s transferring the love she have for her brother or Anastasia.. on Denzel.

Doctor Hemsworth sighs deeply, he takes off his gloves slowly and shakes his head.

“What’s bound to happen must happen.. no matter what!” He said.

I frown. “What do you mean by that?”

“The boy…. ” He trails off.

We all looked at him anxiously, he stares at us and sets his l-ips on thin lines.

He walked past us to a bench and sits down, he takes out a bottle water from his coat pocket and takes large gulps.. until the bottle is empty.

“Say something, Hemsworth!” Marcus growls.

I guess he’s got enough of waiting, me too, I want to know what happened.

“The boy… He lives!” He exclaimed and got up, he pulled Marcus into a hug.

Slowly, I processed the words in my head and I break into a very bright smile.

“He lives?!” I asked rhetorically.

But doctor Hemsworth and Marcus nods in response.

“He lives!” Rhoda and I exclaimed happily.

Then I turn back to those doors, they open and I see two nurses pushing Denzel out in a stretcher.

I rushed towards them and hold one part of the stretcher.. I looked at Denzel and he stares back at me weakly.

“Denzel, Denzel can you hear me?” I asked.

He nods slowly, he takes a deep breath.

“W-water.. wa.. water..”

“Water?” I asked.

“No! No water!” Doctor Hemsworth yells and rushed towards us.

I frown at him.

“He said he wants to drink water, he’s thirsty”

“No, don’t give him any water.. it’s too early for him to drink water”

“Too early?”

“Yes, he’s just coming out of the operating room, he can’t have water now.. it’s harmful to him at this moment!”

I nod, I turn to Denzel and give him an apologetic look.. he look away from me with a frown.

“Anna… Anna.. ” he called quietly.

If I wasn’t standing next to him, I wouldn’t have heard him call her… then I realized Anna doesn’t know about this yet.

I raised my head, Marcus and Rhoda are already standing next to me.

“Call Mr Statham, tell him to get Tasia here.. Denzel is awake!” I told Marcus.

He nods and quickly reach for his phone, he presses a few buttons before taking the phone to his ear.

He wanted a few minutes, then shakes his head.

“It’s not connecting!” He said.

“Keep trying!” I told him.

Rhoda reached for her phone too. “I’ll try if I can get to him!”

She tried but it’s still not connecting.. but they didn’t stop, they kept trying.

“Er.. make way, the nurses should take Denzel to his ward to rest!” Doctor Hemsworth said.

We made way and they took Denzel away, I followed them while Rhoda and Marcus keep trying to get to Mr Statham.

Anastasia’s pov 👠

I don’t know how long we’ve been sitting on this bench in,side this church, my head rest on Klaus’ shoulder.

My stomach growls loudly, disturbing the peace and quiet surrounding us.

“How about we head back to the hospital to…”

“No!” I cut him off firmly.

I don’t wanna go back to that hospital now, going back there will only make me sadder… it’ll only cause more heartbreak for me.

“Ok.. let’s go home then!” He said.

I didn’t reply him, my eyes just stayed at Jesus Christ statue mounted by the altar.

“You have to freshen up and eat something!”

“I’m not hungry!” I said.

“I know you’re not hungry, but I am.. let’s go home so I can eat!” He said.

It’s true, he might be hungry by now… after all, he’s been sitting here with me since afternoon.

I tilts my head and realize it’s quite dark outside.. I sighed.

Without saying anything, I got up and head out.. he got and followed me.

“Are we going home?” He asked.

I simply nod in reply.


The drive from the church to Klaus’s mansion is quiet and long.. my mind kept drifting to Denzel and silent tears fell down my eyes.

Klaus couldn’t do anything, he simply wipes off my tears with his handkerchief.

Right now, I’m sitting on my dressing table and Klaus is blow drying my hair… I just finished taking my bath.

I meant, Klaus just finished bathing me.. I don’t have the strength to do anything.

Just then, his phone starts ringing, he turns off the dryer and drops it on the dressing table.. before going to get his phone.

“Marcus!” He answered his phone.

……..

“What?! When?!”

I got up and walked towards the bed, I slowly climb onto it and lay down…pulling the blanket to my chest.

I turned to my side and let silent tears fall on the sheets…I can’t believe all my hærd work just went to waste!

“I’ll tell her, thank you!” Klaus said.

He rushed to me and pulled me up into a sitting position, he wipes my tears with a smile.

“That’s enough crying, Anastasia!”

I tried to push him away and go back to sleeping, but he held me back.

“Denzel is alive!”

I tensed as these words keep repeating in my head.

“Denzel is alive, he’s resting in his ward as we speak!”

I stare directly in his eyes, my eyes searches his for any trace of lie..but there’s none.

“D-denzel..”

“Yes! Denzel is alive!”

“M-my.. my brother…” I trails.

He nods, I jumped off the bed and run straight for the door but Klaus quickly comes in front of me and stop me.

“Make way!” I growled.

“No! Where are you going?”

“My brother! I want to see him!”

He shakes his head and I frown.

“You haven’t eat anything since lunch, eat something first and I’ll take you there!”

“No! I’m going there now!”

I wanna check if it’s really true, I want to see him with my eyes.

“Eat something, I promise, I promise I’ll take you there tonight!”

My eyes glance at the wall clock, it’s really late, I don’t think I can get a taxi or can by this time… 9:59pm already.

Going in his car is the only choice now.. I sighed deeply.

“Fine, you must take me there after dinner!”

“I promise!”

At that moment, Jerry knocks on the door.

“Master, the food is ready!” He said from outside.

“Did you add what I asked to add?”

“Yes, Master!”

“Good!”

Klaus wrap his arm around my wa-ist and lead me out.


Klaus keeps staring at me since I started eating, well, you can say I’m shoving the food down my throat… since I wanna finish in time.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” I asked.

I couldn’t withstand his stares anymore.

“Nothing, keep eating!” He said.

He stabs his steak and starts eating, I frown.. since we started eating he hasn’t eat anything else apart from steak.

“Eat some rice and vegetables too!” I said.

“No, I’m good with steak!”

I wanted to argue with him, I wanted him to eat more because I won’t be able to finish these food in time on my own.

But my vision starts bluring.

Did Klaus add posion to my food? Is that why he doesn’t want to eat from it?

Soon, it’s darkness….

Matilda’s pov 👠

LA city hospital… 8am…

“Good morning, darling!”

Marcus chirped as he walks into Denzel’s ward, I throw him a nasty glare and shushed him… He halts abruptly by the door and gives me a confused look.

“He just fell asleep!” I mouth him.

He nods and walks in, in lighter steps.

Getting Denzel to fall asleep is not an easy job at all, he’s being crying all through the night to see aunt Bell or Anastasia!

He was so restless… sometimes he’ll cry for water, like he needed it so bad and other times he’ll cry for Anastasia.

It got to a stage that I wanted to get Tasia here, but I remembered she’s not in her right state of mind.. it’ll be no use getting her here.

Rhoda and I took turns to watch him, she just left a few minutes ago.

“You looked quite tired!” Marcus states the obvious as he sees me m-ssaging my neck.

“Hmm!” I reply with a hum.

He drops the plastic bag he’s holding on the table, he takes out a plate.. breakfast packaged in it.

A tired yawn leaves my mouth, as I feel my eye lids getting tired.. I shake the sleep off my eyes.

I can’t fall asleep yet, at least not before Tasia gets here.

“And breakfast is served!” He said.

My eyes views the plate and I gulp loudly, as my mouth waters.. the sleep quickly left me.

“Eat something first….”

I didn’t let him finish his words, before snatching the spoon from him and start eating… he chuckles lightly.

“Er.. I spoke with Nicklaus before coming here, he said, he and Anna will be here soon… but he didn’t say what time exactly!”

I nod, my focus on my breakfast.. I close my eyes momentarily to savour the delicious food.

“He said he had to drug Anna last night…”

“Drug her?!” I exclaimed loudly and choke on my food.

I cough while Marcus pours a glass of water and hands it to me, I take large gulps and he rubs my back.

“Why did he drug her? Is he planning on doing something bad to her?” I asked, handing the glass back to him.

“Do something bad to her? What can he do to her?”

Right.. what can Mr Statham do to her? He wouldn’t hurt her, their engaged after all.

“Do you think Nicky is planning on raping her?” He asked.

Hmm, that thought didn’t come to my mind.. but there’s a possibility.

“Well… anything can happen…who knows if he’s planning on doing just that?”

Marcus laughs at my words.

“That’s ridiculous, Nicky would never do that.. if he wants it, he’ll ask for it!” He said.

I kept quiet and continue to devour my breakfast…he continues speaking.

“He drugged her to let her get some sleep…”

Yeah… Tasia really needed that rest, she’s being crying and running a few miles… cause that’s what she does when she’s feeling upset.

Running and running.. she must be very tired from all that…

Mr Statham might seem like a cold man with his deadpan face.. but I think he’s kinda warm in,side.

“… so, I think we should be here until they arrives!”

I rolled my eyeballs.

“Of course, we’ll be here until they arrive… !”

The door burst open and cuts me off, I glared at whoever barged in.. it’s a female nurse.

“Don’t you know how to knock?” I snap at her.

She frowns in confusion, my eyes drift to Denzel, fearing she woke him up but she didn’t.. he’s still sleeping soundly…

She follows my gaze and realizes why I snapped.

“I’m sorry!” She whispered.

“It’s fine” I said.

She smiles briefly before saying what actually brought her here.

“Doctor Hemsworth wanted me to change his drip, but since he’s asleep.. I’ll just come back later!”

“Right… Can you please remove this drip now?” Marcus points at the drip on Denzel. “It’s finished!”

The nurse nods and walks in fully, she heads towards Denzel and gently removes the drip.

“Also, Ms Bell is awake, doctor Hemsworth is doing a random check up on her!” She said.

She takes the empty drip bottle with her and left…I arrange the covers well on Denzel and turn to Marcus.

“I’m gonna go check on aunt Bell, she’s….” I’m cut off again by the door opening.

Aunt Bell rushed in and look around frantically, like a mad woman.

Her eyes lands on Denzel’s sleeping form, she rushed towards him and embraced him tightly.

I wanted to go stop her from squeezing him, but Marcus held me back and shake his head.

“Let her be!” He said.

Aunt Bell is crying while embracing him, I guess doctor Hemsworth told her about Denzel already.

I envy the bond between her, Anastasia and Denzel…if I didn’t know them..I would’ve thought she’s their mother.

She love them unconditionally!

¢^¢^¢^¢^¢

Anastasia’s pov 👠

“Argh! My head!” I gro-n.

An unbearable pain strikes my head, my hands rushed to my head immediately.. as if to numb the pain.

*God! This headache is killing me!*

I sit up and rest my back on the headboard, wait.. headboard?!

I forgot about the pain striking my head, my eyes did a quick scan and I realize I’m in Klaus’ room.

My eyebrows draw together in a frown.. when did I get here?
My last memory was, Klaus and I eating on the dinning table and then…

*Klaus, that bast*rd!*

Right on cue, the door open and he walks in with a cup, aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills my nostrils.

If I wasn’t angry right now, I would have close my eyes to savour the sweet aroma.

“You’re awake, good morning!” He chirps as he waltz closer to the bed.

When he’s close enough, I let him drop the coffee on the bedside table.. before jumping on his back and hit him mercilessly.

“Why…” Hit “Did..” hit “you…” Hit “drug…” Hit “my…” Hit “food?!” Hit, hit, hit, hit and hit.

Instead of getting angry at me or stop me from hitting him, he chuckles and falls me from his back.

He makes sure I land on the bed softly though! I wanted to attack him again, but he’s fast enough to hold me down.

“Babygirl, wait…”

I bite his right hand and he quickly let go of me, he winces and rubs his hand.

“Why did you bite me? Are you a dog?”

“I can be anything you want me to be!” I growled in response.

He laughs and rubs his hand, which only get me angrier… I want him to be angry just as I am.

“Why did you drug my food? You know I wanted to go to the hospital.. you know I wanted to see him so badly… you’re a bad man!” I yelled.

I sit back on the bed and rest my back on the headboard, I m-ssage my forehead when I noticed the headache has increased.

“I just wanted you to get some sleep, you cried all through the day. I knew you were tired and all you needed then was a well deserved rest…”

He’s kinda right, honestly, not only am I suffering from headache… I can feel my wh0le body aching.. I can feel my th-gh getting ready to fall off.

“… after everything, I couldn’t think of any other way to make you fall asleep.. so I had to drug you.. I can’t let you go to Denzel in that state of mind!”

Hmm, I took a deep breath and turn to him.

“Is Denzel truly awake? Did he really woke up?” I asked him.

He nods. “Yeah, Marcus called me last night to give me the news.. he also called this morning and asked when we’ll arrive at the hospital”

“Take me.. take me there.. take me to see him!” I said.

“I’ll take you, but drink this cup of coffee first.. it’ll help you sober up properly!”

Coffee? My eyes drift towards it, I don’t think that coffee is pure.. what if he adds another sleeping pills.

“No!” I shake my head firmly. “Just take me there!”

He stares at me, there’s a scowl on my face.. seeing this, he couldn’t argue.

“At least, freshen up!” He said.

Without wasting time, I jump off the bed and rushed to the bathroom.


LA city hospital… 9:51am…

Graham didn’t fully park the car, neither do I wait for Klaus to get the door for me this time.

I grab the door handle and push the door open, in a lightening speed I see myself heading towards the entrance.

It feels like Denzel’s ward is a bit too far from the entrance today… or maybe, my legs just aren’t fast enough today.

“Anastasia, slow down!” Klaus said as he take long strides to catch up with me.

I didn’t listen to him, I walked until I stopped outside Denzel’s ward.. I pressed my ear against the door.

Voices.. giggling.. all from in,side.

“Klaus…” I turn to him and give him a nervous stare.

He holds my face in his palms and leans closer, resting his forehead on mine.. he look in my eyes.

“Just take a deep, deep breath and walk in.. cause you’re gonna get the shock of your life in,side!”

I nod, I close my eyes and inhale deeply.. then exhale slowly.

“Are you ready?” He asked and I nod.

He step away from me and open the door, I take slow steps in.. it’s as if these my legs weren’t walking fast few minutes ago.

My legs stop moving and stayed rooted on the ground… Aunt sits on a couch, slicing a mango with a broad smile.

Doctor Hemsworth stands next to Denzel’s bed with a syringe needle in his hands.. as he examines it.

Denzel… He sits on his bed, he’s glaring at the needle doctor Hemsworth is holding.. but a smile.. a happy smile remains on his face.

Am I dreaming right now? My legs moves in until I stopped at the end of his bed.

“Den.. Denzel?” I called quietly.

Everyone turns their heads towards me, Denzel’s smile grows w¡der when he sees me.

“Anna!” He exclaimed.

He got up and was ready to jump into my arms, but doctor Hemsworth holds him down.

“Easy there, little man!” Doctor Hemsworth scolds him.

“If this is a dream, I don’t wanna wake up!” I said.

I suddenly felt a sting on the back of my neck and I wince.

“Ow! What’s that for?!” I growled at whoever did that angrily.

“I just wanted you to make sure, you’re not dreaming!” I hear Matilda say.. I didn’t even take notes of her presence.

I’m not dreaming.. I’m not dreaming.. my Denzel is alive! Before I knew it, I’m hugging Denzel so tightly.

“Denzel.. Denzel.. you’re alive! You’re really alive Denzel” I chant repeatedly.

My joy right now is so great that I couldn’t even describe it.. I feel so happy but I couldn’t believe it’s real.

It still felt like a dream to me, I’m afraid if I wake up from this dream I’ll face harsh reality!

“Er..” Denzel coughs lightly. “.. Anna, you’re kinda crushing me!” He said.

I quickly pull away from him, I pass him a smile and pulls his nose gently.

“Denzel, you’re alive!” I said.

He reaches his hands and wipe my tears with a frown.

“Why are you crying? It’s not as if I’m dead…”

Seems like he doesn’t know he resurrected from death.

“… doctor Hemsworth said I’m very strong, he said I made everything easy for him.. right doctor Hemsworth?” He asked Hemsworth.

“Yes, Denzel is a superman! He made everything easy pissy for me!”

Denzel turns to me with a smile, his hands in his wa-ist.

“Told ya!”

I nod.. I know doctor Hemsworth actually meant otherwise.

“The stunt you pulled was very dangerous, don’t do that again.. ok?”

He nods.

“Don’t scare me next time, sometimes it’s not fun to scare people!”

He raised two of his fingers up.

“I won’t ever scare you again, I swear!”

I slap his hand down, I lean forward and placed a lingering k-ss on his forehead.

“There’s no need to swear!”

I look away from him and my eyes drifts to aunt, she smiles at me.. I can see happiness and love in her eyes.

She really does love Denzel as much as I love him… Doctor Hemsworth clears his throat to get our attention.

“So… I’ve done all the necessary check up on Denzel…”

I lock gaze with doctor Hemsworth and I suddenly feel a sense of guilt.. I remembered what I did to him and the words I said to him.

He smiles at me, but I quickly averted my gaze.

“… he’s fine, very fine but he needs to stay two days with us for observation!” He conclude.

Aunt placed the plate of slice mangoes on Denzel’s lap and he starts eating them.

“Hmm.. so sweet!” He mo-ns.

Then I remembered the dream I had in church about him, I told him there won’t be any mangoes at where he’s going.

I smile, my brother and mangoes are brothers, they’re closer than he and I.

“Ok.. I shouldn’t ruin your family reunion!” Doctor Hemsworth said and walks out.

I continue staring at Denzel as he eats his fruits, I’m afraid to take my eyes off him.

“If Denzel wasn’t your brother, I’d say you’re falling in love with him.. can you take your eyes off him?” Matilda said.

“No! Let me stare at him to my satisfaction.. it’s not easy you know, I had lost all hope!” I replied.

Aunt laughs and takes a deep breath. “You’re right, but God didn’t disappoint us!”

Hmm, I did say some very unkind things to God and doctor Hemsworth… Now I have some serious apologizing to do.

“Anna, we’re leaving the hospital next tomorrow.. I don’t know if you can ask around for any apartment.. or maybe a good and cheap hotel… ”

Right… we almost forget about this.

Aunt and Denzel don’t have a place to go to after Denzel’s discharged… their previous apartment has being rented out to someone else.. because aunt couldn’t pay the rent.

Now I’m still broke, I haven’t gotten my salary yet.. I’ll think of a way.

“.. is this girl even listening?” Aunt pulls my ear.

“Ow! I heard you, Aunt!” I replied.

“Anna’s being scolded!” Denzel said, stuffing his mouth with his mangoes.

He laughs at me and I made a funny face at him in return… My eyes subconsciously move to Klaus.

He looked as if he wanna say something.. but I didn’t let him, I shake my head at him.. I kinda know what he wanna say.

I turn back to aunt. “Aunt, I’ll look around for ya!” I told her.

Then there’s silence, Klaus leans against a wall and he’s staring at me.. Marcus and Matilda are arguing about something between themselves quietly.

While Aunt and Denzel are… well, playing rock paper scissors!

“Em.. Tasia, now that you’re here, Marcus and I are gonna head home.. we have work today!” Matilda said.

I nod. “Thanks guys, I don’t know how to repay your kindness.. ”

Matilda cuts me off with a wave of her hand.

“Remember, there are not thanks between us!” She said.

Aunt clears her throat.

“Matilda, honey… ”

Honey? I scoffed, she’s never called me honey before.

“… I know some certain people are jealous of the name I just called you…”

Now she’s talking about me.

“.. but don’t mind them, thank you very much for there for our Denzel, you did a great job for him!”

Matilda laughs lightly.

“Denzel’s my brother too, I don’t mind getting the moon down for him!”

Denzel paused and snaps his neck towards us.

“Can you really get the moon down for me? The round big moon?!”

His question made everyone laughed.

“God, he’s making me wish to be a kid again!” Marcus said.

Matilda and I raised our eyebrows at him… If Denzel is reminding him of his childhood, then he must be a naughty child.

“Sweetie, she doesn’t mean the moon.. she simply meant she can do anything for you!” Aunt explain.

“Oh!” He exclaims.. his excitement gone.

“Ok.. so, we should get going!” Matilda said.

We nod and she steps out, pulling Marcus along with her. Aunt between Klaus and I, then clears her throat.

“You two should head home too and get some rest!”

I shake my head.

“I have been resting since last night, I don’t wanna rest.. I wanna stay here with Denzel”

“You might not need any rest, but your fiance needs a lot of rest!” She said gesturing towards Klaus.

His eyes are closed, like he’s sleeping.. I frown, wasn’t his eyes open a few minutes ago?

“I guess he spent the night watching you.. he needs some sleep now, be a good fiancee and take him home to rest”

I take a closer look and notice dark circles under his eyes, hmm, aunt seem to be right.. besides, he stayed by my side even when I pushed him away.

“Ok, aunt, we’ll get going!”

She simply nods in reply, I got up and walk closer to Klaus.. I woke him up, his eyes are so red.

“What? Do you need something?” He asked.

I shake my head. “Let’s go home, you need to get some rest!”

“Don’t you wanna stay here with Denzel?”

“No! I can always come back later or tomorrow!”

He nods, he faces aunt.

“Aunt Bell, we’re leaving, we’ll back some other time!”

“Hmm, rest well”

“Denzel, don’t stress aunt too much.. ok?” I told him.

Denzel nods.

Klaus and I step out, we’re almost at the entrance when I remembered my apology to doctor Hemsworth.

“I wanted to apologize to doctor Hemsworth.. I said some mean words to him”

Klaus shoves his hands in his pocket and sighs.

“Fine, let’s head to his office!”

I nod and we turn back, we start walking towards his office.

We’re just a few meters to his office when we heard familiar voices, a male and female voice…they are having a heated argument.

*Bill is my son too, I have every right to ask about him!*

*I forbid you from saying that! He’s my son! He doesn’t know you’re his and I love it that way!*

I turned to Klaus, he’s glaring at the direction where the argument is coming from.

“Is that…” I trail off.

“So.. he’s the d**khead!” He growls lowly.

Ok, what’s going on here? Don’t tell me…

*I don’t get why you’re still holding a grudge after all these years!*

*Why shouldn’t I hold a grudge? I came home to tell my boyfriend about my pregnancy.. but found him wrapped up in another woman’s arms!*

Rhoda lets out a dry laugh.

*You tell me, should I hold a grudge or not?!*

*But I told you! It’s not my fault, she set me up!*

*Really?! Well, I saw a smile on your face! You looked so happy when she was touching you all over!*

*I wasn’t smiling! I was trying to get her off me!*

Rhoda scoffs.

*As if I’m gonna believe that, I never believed it and I won’t believe it!*

*Rhoda listen to me….*

*It’s Miss Statham to you!*

*I was actually planning on proposing to you that day.. but I don’t know what happened and I ended up getting drunk.. I woke up and found her laying next to me, I…*

*You were planning on proposing to me with the ring on her finger?!*

*Rhoda I….*

*I told you! Stop calling my name, we’re not that close!*

*Listen to me…*

*There’s nothing there to listen to! I have told you, stop asking about my son and stop trying to get close to me!*

Then we heard rapid footsteps approaching us, I wanted us to run and hide somewhere.. but Klaus doesn’t wanna.

“Let’s go!”

“No! I want that c*ck to show his face!” He said firmly.

Rhoda’s steps falters when she sees us, her eyes held unshed tears.

“Rhoda….”

Without waiting for me to finish, she runs past us, covering her mouth… Soon, another footsteps approach us, my heart pounding as I pray he shouldn’t be who I’m thinking.

But unfortunately, it’s him.. doctor Hemsworth stops in front of his, his eyes red like he’s trying hærd not to cry.. regret obviously in his eyes.

What happened between them? So.. he’s Bill’s father?!

“Mr Statham…”

Klaus cuts him off with a punch on his nose, doctor Hemsworth falls down and grunt in pain.

“You’re that bast*rd!” Klaus growls.

He wanted to land another punch at doctor Hemsworth… but I quickly step in front of him and he halts abruptly.

“What are you doing, Klaus?”

“Make way! Let me teach him some lessons!”

Doctor Hemsworth gets up behind me, I take a glance at him and sees him rubbing his nose.

“Mr Statham, I’m sorry but I didn’t do your sister wrong”

“You didn’t do her wrong?! Do you know what she went through during her pregnancy?! Do you know how she managed to survive during childbirth?!” Klaus growls angrily.

By now a few people are gathering up… I thought Klaus is cold to his family.. but he’s not, he actually cares about them a lot more than they think.

“I.. I…” Doctor Hemsworth doesn’t know what to say.

“Anastasia make way!” Klaus growls at me.

“No! Let’s go home, this is between him and Rhoda!”

“It’s not between them! Rhoda is my sister and I won’t watch some brat hurt her!”

“Let’s go home, this is not the right place or time to talk about this!”

“No! We’re talking about this, right here and right now!”

He doesn’t seems like someone who’s ready to listen to me…I take a deep breath.

“Klaus, this is a hospital, you can’t disturb the patients here with your family fight… Besides, doctor Hemsworth will be fined or fired for this!”

“I. Don’t. Care!”

“You wanna fight? Then fight! I’m not gonna talk to you ever again and I’m gonna move out!”

He narrows his eyes at me for saying that, i looked away from him and pulled a long face.

He grits his teeth and growls lowly.

“Fine!” He grabs my hand and drags me out with him.

I turned to doctor Hemsworth and passed him an apologetic look.. to which he smiled at.

To be continued.
