The onlookers who had recognised Felix all looked on in astonishment. Most of them had seen what happened before felix’s arrival but didn’t dare come out to save Chioma, but now they felt the men were gone, they all left their shops and cars and came out to stand around and watch. Some were watching the scene from upstairs. They couldn’t help but wonder what Felix’s relationship with Chioma was. Those who knew Felix had been aware of his cold personality. He had never been intimate towards any girl before. But now, Felix was so protective and loving towards her that he even had to carry Chioma in his arms.
Chisom, who had arrived with Felix, couldn’t help but feel pity for her friend. She wondered who could have done this to Chioma and why. She had seen the face of one of the men before they flee. The others were wearing masks to conceal their face.
Thankfully, there was a hospital close by. It only took a few minutes to reach it. Almost in slow-motion, Felix went into the hospital, and handed Chioma to the doctors and nurses who had arrived with a stretcher. Placing Chioma on it, they took her to the Emergency room. He didn’t go yet. He was going to wait at the lobby until Chioma was out of danger.
At Jessica’s hotel room in Lagos state, she was resting her feet on a table and leaning back against her chair as she played games on her phone. She seems to be expecting something.
Sharon, who was sitting on the bed, ate peanut butter. After a moment, she glanced at Jessica and suggested sofly, ‘I was thinking we could go to Paris…’
Jessica frowned. She didn’t want anything that would pull her out from Michael. If she left for Paris, she was afraid Michael might not even recognise her when she returns.
‘No, not yet,’Jessica said, then, she lowered her head and continued playing on her phone.
