When we arrived at my villa, with the military escort and all...it was obvious that the news has gotten to my home because most of the house staff were outside waiting for us.
She was immediately transferred inside, the doctors and nurses got to work ...I wasn't surprised to see Dr. Robert although I didn't know when he came. After concluding with Major William who left some of his men behind at my villa following instructions from my childhood friend and school mate General Billy Hones, he left.
I walked into the living room to steady my self, I was hovering around the room katie was kept in anxiously, distracting the doctors ..Dr.Robert had to plead with me to give them some space.
My mother was on a call, and as soon as she saw me she said he is here now to the person she was taking to on the phone...
I raised my eyebrows in question as to who it was ...Billy she answered handing over her phone.
Bills I said as I spoke into the phone
Hey man how are you holding up I have been calling your number he said
Oh ..oh I checked my pockets realizing my phone was not on me; don't ever know where my phone is, probably with Andrew I answered.
Look I will stop by the house later so we can talk...I really want to get the true picture of what is going now...
Yeah man, that's will great. See you later ...
I gave my mother back her phone ..and started pacing up and down ...
Eric ..my mother called...
I didn't answer and continued pacing ...
Eric sit down ...she ordered. You can handle any business emergency.. hostile takeovers and worse but look at you ...you are falling apart.
Mum...the waiting is making me anxious....I ..
We are all waiting anxiously for the Doctors report, but she is still alive ...that we should be grateful to God for.
I sat down...I don't think I have ever been this anxious... probably when my father passed on ..but ..
Dr. Robert walked in to the room...and I stood up immediately waiting anxiously for his report ...but he just stood there looking at us.
Go on my mother said obviously wondering why he just stood there.
Its serious...I'm thinking of transferring her back ..
No way..no no no I interrupted him. She is not going back to the hospital Dr.Robert. That's Suicidal!
How serious is it my mother asked calmly
She might need surgery. t's like she is bleeding internally, we need to do some test to be certain he replied.
You've to do all your test here, get the machines and equipment's here. Whatever you need but she is not leaving here.
Son if it will save her life, I think...
I quickly interrupted her, M9ther it will give them the opportunity to finish her off I answered.
Hmmm....You're right she said thinking. They are probably anticipating we'll do just that ...return her to the hospital. You're right, there has to be another way she said looking at Dr. Robert.
I will see what I can arrange he said reluctantly.
Apart from the internal bleeding you suspect, I noticed her left arm is broken. Does she have any other injuries? I asked him
She has a lot of bruises on her body, most of them deep he answered looking at me
I see. My heart aching for her. Can I see her I asked
Of course he answered, as we left the sitting room together my mother was looking at me strangely.
When we got to her room, the other doctors had already left and there was only a nurse there. She left the room on seeing us.
I just stood there looking at her...with plasters and bandages on different parts of her body. I'll not allow anything happen to you I said to her. He will not come near you again I promised.
I don't know how long I was there but when I turned around I noticed Dr. Robert had left the room.
You have to get better, Sunshine needs you and I..I ..I want to meet you. Everyone is so concerned about you.
I have not met you before, I don't know you but it's like you've being a part of us for long. It's strange.
Very strange! I noticed how my mother was also anxiously waiting for Dr. Roberts report although she was pretending not to care. Even the staff are concerned. Katie has a certain kind of..."should I call it favor or attraction that we all feel toward her especially me.
I caressed her hand, noticing the bruising. Wondering the kind of pain she must be experiencing. I sat quietly there as the different machines were beeping.
I'll bring Sunshine to see you tomorrow, she is getting so big. I'm not surprised though, because she likes to eat a lot I said smiling. Suddenly I thought I heard something.
Okay..it must be my mind I thought I looked around to be sure someone has not entered the room and I was not aware. I continued to talk to her.
She has your mouth and when she smiles it's as if she takes all your problems away I continued, she also likes to ....
I was interrupted by a cough...ah ...
I sat there in shock..."she coughed", she .....
She moved her fingers ..the hand I was holding. This is not my imagination; Did you just move your hand I asked aloud
Yes she muttered, I could hardly hear her. Her eyes were still closed ...ah
I jumped out of the chair, Dr. Robert I shouted she is awake. I ran to the door.. ...then ran back remembering there was a bell by her bed side.. I pressed it...and kept pressing until...
Dr. Robert who was still around and two other doctors burst through the door, all surprised.
She coughed again, and by this time some of the machines attached to her started beeping noisily.
