Accident III

This is the hospital you transfered Mr Afam to right?

Yes ma'am, Bones replied her.

Ok please find out if he's conscious and please call me Dr Stephen. Thank you.

Sky said a prayer as Bones left, thanking God for saving her and asked for the spirit of discernment. She stared into space thinking of how to handle the situation at hand when she heard a soft knock on the door. It was Dwayne, he entered the room with her fruits in his hands.

I'm sorry Dwayne, but I don't want the fruit anymore, you can have it. Thank you for today, you can take your leave now.

I have strict others from Mr Anton not to leave your side ma'am.

Where were you when I needed you Dwayne?

Dwayne looked down, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you maam, I had to rush to my room to get something, there was an urgent matter I had to attend to.

Yeah i'm sure you had something important to do. I'm Anton's superior, I want you to leave. You can come back tomorrow but as for today, I want to be alone, besides you can't sleep here cause i'm a woman and you can't help me to the toilet or help me change. I don't need anything now. Just get me something to eat on your way coming tomorrow.

Dwayne's shoulder fell in defeat. She wasn't strong now so he didn't want to argue with her plus he didn't want to leave her all my herself.

I'll be fine. Bones will be here with me throughout so don't worry. Just help me into my wheelchair before you leave. I ache all-over.

Dwayne helped her with the wheelchair and excused himself as he said goodnight to Sky.

Sky sighed as Dwayne left. She didn't want to know where he was at the time of the accident. She just wasn't in the mood to stay in the same room with anyone now, especially men. After all this is over, she's going to be alone with her kid, so she had better get used to it.

Sky smiled brightly as Dr Stephen entered the room with Bones behind him. Hey old pal, she said as Dr Stephen hugged her.

It's been a while Mena, how have you been?

I hear you are big shot now....I'm so proud of you Mena. So how does it feel to be a CEO? Dr Stephen asked her.

Well right now it sucks, but they are good times. How's your family? you ain't doing bad yourself. I hear you are the third in command now.

I'm just assisting dear. How are you feeling? Stephen asked her, checking her temperature.

I ache all over and I'm still weak.

You'll get better soon. All you need is rest and less movement.

I need a favour from you Stephen. Please i need to change my room and I want that room to be registered in a different name, not mine.

Ok? your man here, Stephen said pointing at Bones told me about the situation. Just hold on, I'll get back to you. How's mommy and her cooking? ahhh, I haven't tasted her food in years, next time I'm in the Capital, I'll do well to visit and eat some of those delicious meal she makes.

Hehehehe, you are welcome to visit at anytime, it's your home too. And nime is doing great and so is the rest of the family.

That reminds me, we just left Mr Afam's room and he would be awake soon, he's vitals are normal and he's breathing on his own. I don't know if he deliberately took the poison or someone poisoned him.

Thank you Stephen, you are a life saver. How about his family?

I think his wife brought him here but she left and hasn't returned, it's been two days now. The bill is unpaid and he has no one to talk to him.

Hmmm ok, don't worry we'll cover the hospital bill, say hi to Shannon for me, tell her this time around we need twins.

Stephen shook his head as he listened to his old bestfriend, she hasn't changed a bit, more matured, yes. But she's still the girl he fell in love with but he couldn't get her to love him back as she only saw him as her bff, no romantic feelings. You give us triplet Mena, I think that will brighten your life. Now excuse me, please take care of yourself.

Stephen that's impossible, you already know it's just me and my sweetpea but your wife doesn't know yet. Sky said to Stephen as he left.

Bones I'm starving, do you think you can get me something to eat from the cafeteria? I really want to eat doughnut.

You sent everyone away ma'am, I don't want to leave you alone. Bones replied her.

So you want me to starve to death? I trust you will be fast so no worries and I'm changing rooms soon.

Bones looked at the small woman in front of him, she was too stubborn, but that's one of the reason he likes her. Ok Ms Sky. you hold this till i get back ok? He said handling her his gun.

Hey Bones, I'm not sure I remember how to use this and beside i don't want to kill anyone.

I'm sure you do ma'am, now keep this with you until I'm back ok? and you don't have to kill anyone, just defend yourself.

Allright fine, I'm hungry, hurry up. Sky watched as Bones shut the door, she wheeled her chair to the door, opened it a bit and watched as Bones entered the elevator. The moment the elevator door closed, Sky adjusted the drip on her chair and left her room. She moved slowly in the hall, passing rooms. She hid the gun inside her purse that was on her thigh. She sighed when she got to her destination. She looked at the room number and pushed the door open slowly.

When she got into the room, she looked around and noticed that they were two beds in the room while one was occupied, the other was empty. Perfect, she said as she moved close to the occupied bed. She looked around the room to make sure no one was there, she checked the toilet but there was no one. She went to the sleeping man and looked at him.

He seemed to be frowning in his sleep as if he was having a nightmare. The man was in his early 50's and doesn't look his age at all, if anything, he looked older.

Sky saw his fingers moved and his eyelids shake but the man still didn't wake up. She held is hand and said, please wake up, I need you, don't worry you are fine, nobody can hurt you now. I"ll protect you. Sky arranged her purse on her leg so she can easily reach the gun if she need to.
