Chapter 11

"You should have watched where you are going okay!"Kiara half yelled, pouting her mouth together.

"Am sorry dear"She apologized.

"Aurora,"Mr. Walter stuttered.

"Sir..."She stuttered, looking at his face.

"What happened to you?"He asked.

"Riley and I got into an accident"she uttered, wiping her tears. Mr Walter panicked and touched her cheeks so quickly which took Kiara in a wide astonishment.

He rushed his words"Are you okay?, Are you fine? Is Riley okay, any progress with the treatment?? Have you gotten your tummy food?" He bumped her with a lot of questions, which she can't even pick one and reply to.

"They aren't doing anything, no one is available"She cried.

"Daddy! You should call doctor Murphy to treat her, her head is bleeding seriously"Kiara suggested.

"I will sweetheart"Mr Walter replied, roughing her hair. The word "daddy" kept ringing in her ears.

"Wow! He has a daughter"She thought, staring at Kiara who won't stop staring at her with her tiny eyes.

"I will arrange someone to get you treated first"Mr Walter uttered.

"I don't think I am the right person to get treated, Riley is"She sniffled.

"What's the number of her ward?"he asked.

"The second floor in ward 006"She replied.

"You should get yourself treated,"Kiara uttered.

"Thanks dear, but I think Riley needs it"Piper uttered, adding more pressure on the wound.

"But you are bleeding so much"Mr Walter panicked

"That's why I add pressure on it"She replied, taking a seat on the iron chair.

"Can I sit next to you?"Kiara asked. Piper didn't hesitate to give her a reply.

"Yeah you can,"Piper uttered, tapping on the empty sit left

"I am coming back Kiara, I want to make a phone call"Me Walter informed, walking few metres away from them.

"How did you get into an accident?"Kiara asked curiously.

"Are you curious to know what happened?"Piper asked and she nodded.

"My best friend and I were walking in the right lane and a reckless driver ran over my best friend,"Piper explained.

"Your best friend??"Kiara asked.

"Yea, any problem"Piper asked.

"I don't have a best friend like you, no one to call a friend, most of them don't like talking to me because of how famous and cold-hearted my daddy is, but your case is different, you have a best friend, you are ready to save your best friend at any cost.

Even though you are in pain, you still consider her first, for treatment or anything. You are lucky to have a friend but am not"She said those words with an aching heart which really touched Piper. Kiara wiped her tears and raised up her head, that's because she said those words without raising her head.

Piper couldn't hold back her tears anymore as she let them down freely.

"How old are you?" Piper asked.

"Am five years old, I am going to clock six in two months' time"she chuckled.

"She's not even up to six yet depressed just because she's lonely, no friends, no siblings"Piper thought.

"Are you missing your best friend?"Kiara asked.

"Yes, I miss Riley. She loves kids a lot, especially females."Piper smiled.

"You don't love kids?"She asked, sitting properly because she found their conversation interesting.

"I love kids a lot, I love callous kids, I love crazy kids like my siblings, I love shy kids, l love clumsy kids, I love stubborn kids, I love kids who are nerds, I love caring and lovely kids but I don't like spoilt kids" She uttered.

"Hmmm"Kiara sighed and Piper burst into a round of laughter, which got people's attention.

"You just sigh like my younger sister whenever she's thinking,"Piper uttered, carrying her on her laps.

"Why don't you like spoiled kids?"Kiara asked.

"They are born to give their guardian cephalalgia. And mostly kids like that are greedy, they lack respect, they aren't trustworthy.''Piper gives details.

"Cephalalgia?? What's the meaning?" She stuttered.

"It means headache. So in short kids like that are born to give parents or people around them headache.

"But I am not a spoiled kid,"Kiara mumbled.

"Am not sure about that"Piper uttered, looking around trying to get a glimpse of Mr Walter or Mr Adams but it seems any of the two are around.

"Let me tell you something,"Kiara whispered.

"Like a secret,"Piper whispered softly.

"Yes"Kiara uttered and sighed deeply.

"My dad hates me"She uttered as a single tear rolled down her cheeks.

"I don't think he is Kiara,"Piper panicked, wiping her tears.

"I don't know how the two of you met, but I feel like pouring out my mind. I really wished I had a friend to pour everything out to but I don't have my own Riley. It's just Kiara only"She cried, holding her cloth tightly in her hands. Piper couldn't hold back her tears as she pulled the young girl into a tight hug.

"You can take me as your best friend, I can be your Riley"Piper uttered softly, patting her hair.

"My daddy hates me, he left me at Granny's place since I was little. He doesn't want to see me in the face. He hates ladies, he hates females... That's why he hates me. He said hurtful words about my mom,, He just accepted me early this year because of grandpa's words on his deathbed"Kiara uttered, shedding miserable tears. Piper has to use her cloth to wipe her watery nose.

"What could his wife have done to make him hate ladies to the extent he had to push those hatred on his poor daughter"Piper thought.

"But I love him so much, Even though he hates me,"Kiara stuttered.

"He loves you too,"Piper uttered softly.

"Mr Adam's daughters are also a pain in the neck"Kiara uttered, sniffing her nose.

"Mr Adams?? You mean the famous Adams?"Piper asked.

"Yes,,, his daughters are something else"Kiara rolled her eyes.

"He's the same Mr Adams that ran over Riley and I"Piper uttered and gasped.

"Oh no, this is not going to end happily,"Kiara muttered.

"Why did you say that??? "Piper asked.

"They are enemies, they don't like talking"Kiara muttered, gritting her teeth.

"Enemies? Why are they enemies"Piper stuttered, staring at Kiara for answers.

"I don't know,"Kiara replied, joining her hand in a kimbo.

"Let's go and check on Riley,"Piper uttered.

"Let's wait for daddy,"Piper said.

"He knows where to find us, in case he didn't see us here."Piper smiled at her confused facial expression.

By the time Piper arrives at Riley's ward, she's already been treated.

"Good Afternoon Doctor"Piper greeted.

"Mr Walter told me to check up on the patient. Don't worry, she will be fine. You just have to be patient, ``the doctor explained.

"Get her head stitched also"Kiara pouted.

"Yes I will get that done, Miss Kiara"The doctor smiled.

"Please come and sit on this chair, I will have your head stitched up"He uttered.

"Okay"Piper replied, taking a seat with Kiara in her arms.

"Are you fine Aurora?"Mr Walter and Mr Adams said at the same time, bumping into each other at the entrance.

Kiara gasped, after seeing her dad's burning fury facial expression visible on his face.

"What are you doing here? "The two of them asked each other at the same time.
