‘Yup.’
‘Don’t worry; those bad guys would severely pay for torturing my brother’s woman.’
Audrey was pleased to hear these words from Michael. Reaching the hospital, she carried the basket of fruits and flowers she had bought on the way and headed inside, wrinkling her nose at the hospital usual unpleasant smell. Meeting Chisom at the entrance of the hospital, Audrey hugged her, reassuring her that Chioma would be fine.
‘How can it be that my friend was attacked for no reason? Who could have been the mastermind?’ She paused as tears filled her eyes. Then, she spoke softly after a moment, ‘But, don’t you worry, Chioma will get justice. I will make sure that those gunmen, no, unknown gunmen are punished for their crimes.’Audrey felt heavy inside.
‘They could have killed her if your brother didn’t arrive. Chioma is my bestfriend, and I do love her very much…’Chisom paused as her eyes turned teary.
‘Don’t cry. I am also here for Chioma. She’s my friend too. Her hospital bill and pills will be taking care of.’
‘Miss Audrey, you’re very kind and generous. Before, I used to think that you’re a scheming bitch, but no, you are very good.’ Seeing Audrey was so kind, Chisom got emotional.
‘Let’s not talk about it… for now; I am desperate to see Chioma.’
Chisom had thought Audrey would never come to see Chioma, but to her surprise, Audrey was loyal to her friendship with Chioma that she even came very early this morning to visit her.
Together, they walked towards Chioma’s room. As they walked upstairs towards Chioma’s room, nurses and patients who recognised Audrey greeted her warmly.
Felix had admitted Chioma into the VIP ward even though Chioma’s mother and brother felt uncomfortable about it; they still had no choice than to let Felix have his way since no one would stop him anyway. Chioma stayed in one room, a suite that was luxurious. Only those who stayed in the VIP of this hospital are those that were capable of burning money. Four or five bodyguards in gorgeous suits stood outside the room. Anyone who passed by would think that a wealthy patient lived inside or perhaps, they would think that the president of the country or government official lived inside, because the display of attention was simply too much. Felix didn’t care what people would think or say, he was simply trying to protect Chioma.
