‘A bouquet of roses? Is someone trying to win your heart? Tell me, who is it? Audrey said with a mysterious smile.
‘No, I have only one boyfriend. I will never betray his trust.’ Chioma said those words sincerely; Audrey face was full of happiness. She thought Chioma was referring to Felix. But no, she was referring to Michael.
‘Then who is this secret admirer of yours?’Audrey asked as she wiped her mouth and got up. Before she could reach to take a look at the card, Louisa had already gotten hold of it.
‘Chioma, can’t accept the flowers.’Louisa tore the card and tossed it at the trash can after reading the note. The roses were sent by Patricia Njemanze. But, she had written Patric in the card with a little note; we haven’t met each other before but you are absolutely good with game of love. I bet if you will succeed…scheming bitch. I wish you an Oscar award but are you qualified to receive such an award?
‘No, it’s okay, aunt. My brother won’t get mad. There is nothing wrong with gifting flowers to a patient,’Audrey said gently to Louisa. She had thought Louisa had torn the card because she didn’t like her daughter receiving flowers from people she didn’t know, what Audrey didn’t know was that Louisa had torn that card because the flowers hadn’t come from a secret admirer but from someone who wants to ruin Chioma’s relationship with Michael.
Chioma was stunned. She didn’t know who the fellow was, and why she would be given flowers. Her relationship with Michael was still hidden except for a few people that where at Star Restaurant that day that Michael forcibly made her his girlfriend. She wondered what was going on.
Daniel
looked at the roses and then back at Chioma and said, ‘Maybe, you need to be
discharged as soon as possible.’ He seemed to have understood what was going
on.
