friends
The young man looked at the woman bending her head keenly he picked interest in this lady when he saw her from Afar ."give me the bill"he ordered "huh?"the doctor exclaimed in confusion."I said give me the bill"he yelled loudly attracting people to them. The doctor quickly hand over the bill to the strange man who brought out his phone to make a call "hello Jude i will send a pic for you make sure you clear the debt on it asap" he made the call shortly then turned to the doctor"you can go now the bill has been settled" , he breath out a sigh of relief as he walked away .I couldn't utter a word , this man just saved me from humiliation I walked up to him a little bit scared which I don't know why I placed my hands together "th...thank you , I'm really grateful I don't know what I would have done or where to start from for searching for the morning , your a life saver . "I thanked him as a little tears fell from my eyes . "no need to thank me , anybody in my place would have done the same besides my dad owns here"he said with his shoulders raised high ." it makes sense why the doctor was frightened"
"Are you saying something'he asked
"No , I'm just saying thank you" I replied quickly."that's by the way , my name is jason davis and you"he said extending his hand forward for a handshake . "rita " i took his hand , he dropped his hand and put it in his pocket to bring out a wallet and started counting money he brought out from it . "take this "he stretched his hand as I look at him in awe shaking my head "no , I can't accept this you have done more than enough for me " i refused . " look at it like it's your long lost friend that is giving this to you and it will hurt me if you don't accept " he placed his hand on his chest , I hesitated before collecting it "thank you again , words ain't enough to express my gratitude to you " I stated . "anytime , I hope to see you again "he flashed me a smile before walking away ." my super hero" I mutterd happily and went directly to the ward . I sat on one of the chairs patiently waiting for ella to regain consciousness and slowly I drifted to my dreamland .
"Ma'am your daughter is awake"the nurse tapped rita , I rubbed my eyes with the back of my palm "OK thank you and I'm sorry for being rude earlier "I felt guilty afterall she was doing her job " no problem I'm also a mother like you so I understand your pain " she then left , I enterd the ward to see ella already awake ." mummy" I heard her shout "ella your mummy is here" I said as i hugged her not wanting to let go ." how are you baby" I asked feeling her body temperature " mummy my head is feeling heavy " ella replied with a pouted lips "and mummy I don't like here cause we go home I'm hungry" she complained "nurse please can you inform the doctor that we will take our leave now " " ma'am no need to worry his getting the discharge paper ready " the nurse walked out."yaaah!!!" Ella exclaimed , i looked at ella who was really excited to go to the home that doesn't care about her well being my face turned dark as I recall ikedi . after getting discharged from the hospital I was still contemplating if I should go home or go elsewhere cause that place called home is just a torture zone because of ella I decided to go home as i entered inside the house reek of smoke and ikedi lying down carelessly on the floor , I covered my nose and held ella hands tightly trying to sneak to the room . "stop there " his thundorous voice that i dreaded the most ." my sweet rita where are you coming from trying to sneak into the house ..huh??" He yelled with an angry voice and red eyes , I got frightened at this fearful sight I called my husband .
