“Why can’t she undergo surgery now?.” Joshua questioned the receptionist in a haste.The receptionist looked around for a few seconds and then paused, with her eyes fixed on a man she said to Joshua. “That’s the doctor!!, you can ask him further questions.” Joshua smiled at the receptionist and quickly ran off towards the doctor who the receptionist had directed him to. His step was quick and switched which caught the attention of everyone in the waiting room including Rena who was puzzled as to why her boss was practically chasing after his shadows.“Excuse me, sir!.” Joshua finally said after not being able to catch up with the doctor.The doctor paused but didn’t turn around to see who may have called out to him.“Doctor?.” Joshua tapped on the man’s shoulder.The Doctor turned around to face the man who was in a hast.“How can I help you, young man?.” He questioned Joshua.Joshua inhaled deeply and then exhaled. “There is a lady in this hospital, her name is Grace Matway and I he

Joshua could feel the intensity between the sisters though he knew nothing about the family Joshua knew it wasn’t just the fear of losing Grace Matway that was tearing Rena apart.While on the other hand, Rena saw Grace Matway’s illness as a way to get to her boss ‘Mr Joshua’ who she claimed was hers to keep and have.Grace Matway lay on the bed lifeless, she could barely feel a few parts of her body as she lay there breathing and moving her eyes to see around.“How do you feel?.” Joshua asked her as he closed the door behind him.Rena who was at the other side of the door looked up at it as it closed, her heart sinking at that exact moment like her world had ended.“I am fine.” Grace Matway attempted to smile.Joshua sat at the edge of the bed. “You don’t have to stress your lips to smile, I can read your eyes,” Joshua told her.“My sister likes you.” Grace Matway let the cat out of the bag.Joshua was taken aback by the sudden statement by Grace Matway.“Why do you say so?.” Joshua

Grace Matway’s POVMy heart was aching as I watched the doctors flood the new room I was lying in.“Am I gonna be okay?.” I stuttered as I asked such a question.A nurse approached me with a tray in her hand, she placed the tray on a table beside me and leaned in close, her finger pulled a strand of my hair off my face and tucked it behind my ear.“You’re a beauty.” She smiled at me. “You’re gonna be okay Sweetie,” She reassured me.She looked somewhat younger than me but I didn’t know if it was my eyes or her voice that made me come to that conclusion.She was quick-witted while I lay there with no energy.An oxygen mask was put over my mouth.“...” my scream was subdued by the oxygen mask.The piercing feeling of the syringe caused me so much pain that I began to feel my body grow numb.———While undergoing surgery Grace Matway’s younger sibling was convincing herself that she was on a date with her boss and her sister was dead.“This tastes amazing.” Miss Rena said with her mouth f

Grace Matway’s POVMy eyes began to flutter open slowly, the bright light that surrounded the room was blinding, I squicked for a moment before my eyes began to adjust to the lighting of my room.I hissed at the loud banging of the door, the blurry figure moved quickly towards me which agitated me.Who was it to make so much sound after what had just happened in the theatre?I kissed my teeth and tried to shade my eyes from the light and the quick movement of the woman in my room.I was harshly pulled from my bed. “You better leave my man or else I will wipe you off the face of this earth that you do not deserve to be in, in the first place!!.” The sound of my sister's voice and threat echoed in my head.I sighed, she let go of my neck letting me fall head flat on the bed.Tears welled up in my eyes as I began to feel overwhelmed, I never thought the hate she felt for me was up to this extent that she could threaten me with death.“Hi, girls.” Joshua’s cheerful voice caught me off gua

Joshua’s POVFor the first time in the past twenty-four hours, I saw a smile on both sister's lips as they conversed in some unknown conversation.I sat on the sidelines letting them have their moment when my phone began to buzz, I dug into my trouser pockets almost immediately and pulled out my cell phone. I looked up at the sisters to catch them gazing at me intensely, Grace Matway was first to look away while Miss Rena took a few more seconds stealing glances at me before she twisted her neck to her sister and once again they resumed their conversation like I had not just interrupted them for a second.“Evelyn?.” I paused in shock, I was astonished that she could call me after all that had been said and done between us both I assumed I would never have to cross paths with her though she was the exact reason I refused to change my call line.I stood up and excused myself. “Girls! I will be back soon.” I told them and walked out of the hospital room.I sat on the bench outside the h
