TROUBLED

<p>By the time Johnny returned back to the hospital, everywhere became calm and quiet, normalcy was eventually restored,all the accident victims received proper treatments to their injuries and now taking full rest in their various rooms. Johnny decided to look around and probably visit one or two patients.<br/>No matter how hard he tries to deny the fact that he doesn't like visiting the hospital,he always finds himself there almost everyday, his favorite part of the hospital is the children's ward,he always think it's unfair for kids to be in a hospital instead of being in school or having fun in a park with their friends. Their innocent eyes and pure smile brings warmth to his heart and peace to his soul whenever he spends time with them. Children are nothing but angels on earth and just like peters, they are all so special and unique.<br/>Johnny walked to and fro the accident victims ward as though his in search of something, just then his phone started vibrating in his pocket,he pulled it out, wondering who it could be.<br/>"Hello Mum".He said still pacing up and down for no good reason.<br/>"Johnny are you still at the hospital?. She asked.<br/>"Yeah, but I'll be home soon,you want something?"<br/>"Umm, Davis just called,he said that the eyedrop I ordered for just arrived this evening, could you please drop by the pharmacy store and get it"<br/> "Sure"<br/>"Alright let me quickly inform him that am sending you over"<br/>"okay"Johnny replied and hung up.<br/><br/>At the extreme end of the ward,he noticed that the door of the last room was not properly closed , which made him wonder if anyone was in there,he moved closer and discovered he was right, someone probably left it opened,he pushed the door further and peeked, someone was lying on the bed,a girl.<br/><br/>〰️ JOHNNY 〰️<br/>When I saw that there was actually someone in the room,i became pissed,who could have left the door opened with no one looking after the patient,i wanted to examine the girl and ask her if she needed anything but when I got closer, she was sleeping peacefully. I noticed that she possessed the most delicate and symmetrical face, one that I've never seen before, something about her felt different and just like how i always feel when am around children,i felt the same for this strange girl. I looked at her wrist and noticed that she had bandage on,l knew immediately that she had tried to hurt herself, but what was the reason."Who are you?". Someone spoke, jerking me back to reality. I turned to the direction of the voice,a man was standing at the door,in his hands was a basket filled with different varieties of fruits."Are you a friend of my daughter"? The man asked,he walked in and placed the basket on a side stool."Umm..no sir,i was just walking by when I noticed that someone left the door opened". I said moving aside."I came in to see if she actually needed anything,then i realized that she was asleep".I tried not to do anything weird or suspicious, thankfully the man infront of me wore a friendly face making the atmosphere less tensed.<br/>"It's alright kid,i was just worried,i thought something had happened and she has never introduced anyone as her friend to me,so I had to ask, hope you don't mind"<br/>"Not at all sir, I apologize for coming in without permission".<br/>"You don't have to apologize, you were trying to help,i totally understand, do you care for some?"He asked pointing at the fruit basket.<br/>"Am good sir, thank you". <br/>"Are you here for someone" .<br/>"Actually my Dad works here,Dr Frederick kingston but I did came to see someone".<br/>"Oh you are Dr Fred's son, that's good to know". He said smiling<br/>"I think I should take my leave now, thanks for having me around" I said taking little steps towards the door.<br/>"Alright, thanks for checking up on my daughter, she means the world to me, you know" . All i could see was pure fatherly love and care, from the way he looks at her to the way he checks on her from time to time,i was happy for her, she's got the best Dad.<br/><br/>When I grabbed the door handle,i took a quick glance at her one last time before leaving the room,i quickly informed my Dad that i was leaving,i got into a taxi and tried to relax but I was troubled instead, the more i think about that girl the more worried i became, the feeling was new to me,i just couldn't figure it out.<br/><br/>Jenny felt much better after waking up this time, though her body still aches but It's not as bad as before. Adams gave her the fruit basket and told her to eat everything, since her appetite deprived her of any cooked food even her favourite dish looked like trash before her eyes. Someone flung the door open, Jenny thought it was one of the nurses but It was her mother instead, "So you eventually came". Jenny muttered to herself.<br/>"Look who is still alive and kicking". Karen said smiling<br/>"Karen, please this is not the time or the place for this okay, allow her to heal". Adams tried to stop her but it was futile.<br/>"She brought this upon herself, let her suffer,i told you Adams didn't i, this girl needs a priest not some stupid therapist, she is clearly possessed by some demon". Karen was getting pissed.<br/>"My daughter is not possessed you hear me,if you are not here to provide any emotional support to her,then leave at once"Adams said angrily pointing towards the door. Karen scoffed then hissed"of course you will always support her even her wrong doings" Karen gave Jenny a daring look causing her to shudder before leaving the room and banging the door furiously.<br/><br/>"Are you alright my dear?"Adams asked, he was really worried.<br/>"Why does Mummy hate me so much,am i really her daughter?". Adams was not expecting her to ask such a question,he reached for her hand and held it in his, stroking it gently.<br/>"Hey, look at me pumpkin, mummy loves you very much, she just going through a lot right now but I promise she will come around one day, and you know Daddy loves you more" . Jenny smiled through the pain she was feeling at that moment, she's definitely not a child anymore,no matter how complicated the painting may look,she could see and understand everything clearly even the tiniest detail of it.</p>
