2024-10-29 19:42:56Gerald left the old man without giving him any answer and went straight to the hospital. Before he went to prison, his mother had been seriously sick and his ex-wife had promised him that she would continue to look after her.
He made sure he always reminded his ex-wife to check up on his mother to make sure she was okay and all her hospital bills were met. Gerald got to the hospital and went straight to the private ward. He still remembered the room where his mother was kept. 'What?' Gerald asked himself in shock as he met an empty bed. He had gotten to his mother's room and she was not there. He checked the head of the bed where the names of the patients were usually written and he could not find anything. Perplexed, Gerald came out of the room and went to meet the nurse who was in charge of the computer where patients' names were saved and cataloged. "Excuse me." He said to the nurse. "Yes sir, how may I be of help to you, handsome?" The nurse asked flashing her well-dented teeth at him. Gerald knew that the nurse was deliberately flirting with him but he had no time to acknowledge her. The truth was that Gerald did not have the intention of looking at any woman at the moment. "I'm looking for my mother," Gerald said. The nurse blinked her eyes at Gerald as he spoke while she continued smiling at him. "What is her room number?" The nurse asked. "The last time I was here, she was in the private ward," Gerald explained. "We have many private wards handsome, which one is it?" The nurse asked seductively lowering her voice. Gerald was beginning to get pissed off by her flirtatious manner and her many irrelevant questions. "Private ward A." He answered. "And room 5." He quickly added before she looked for another question to prolong their talk. The lady checked her computer and then asked Gerald for his mother's name and he told her. The moment she saw Gerald's mother's information on her computer, her mood changed. She immediately stopped flirting with Gerald and started looking at him with disdain. Gerald was surprised by the sudden change in her attitude towards him. The nurse looked at Gerald and wrinkled her nose at him. "Your mother has been moved to a public room because of your inability to pay her hospital bills." The nurse informed Gerald. Gerald was shocked. He had made sure that his mother's hospital bills were taken care of by his ex-wife. The money he made in prison, he always tells his wife to remove a certain amount of money which was strictly for his mother's hospital bills. "Please where is she now, I mean, her exact room," Gerald asked the nurse. The nurse grudgingly gave Gerald the information and Gerald immediately left. Gerald got to where his mother was kept and he could barely recognise her. Gerald called his mother several times, her lips vibrating slightly. Her head was almost bald and the few strands of hair that was remaining had turned white. Her face was drained of any colour it might have had and she was thin to the point that ye could literally see her veins. Gerald used the medical skills that he had learned while he was in prison to treat her but she had deteriorated badly and he could only manage to slow down the deterioration. When Gerald was done with treating his mother, he turned to leave so he could go and see the doctor but his mother suddenly held his hand. Gerald was shocked as he was not expecting her to have recovered so quickly. "Gerald!" She called softly. Though she could still talk, her voice was so low that it was barely above a whisper. Gerald had to bend down close to her to hear what she wanted to tell him. "Mother, how are you?" Gerald asked. "I'm fine now that you are here." His mother answered. "Mother, what happened? How come you were moved to a public place because of unpaid bills? Did Fiona not bring money?" Gerald questioned his mother. His mother sighed as tears rolled down freely from her eyes. "My son, soon after you went to prison, your wife came one day and stopped the medication saying that she was going to chase us out of the house." His mother explained. Gerald was filled with anger and pain. He took a firm grip on the divorce agreement. His wife had promised him that if he pleaded guilty and went to prison on his behalf, she was going to help him take care of his mother but she has failed in her promise. Gerald knew that to completely heal his mother, he was going to need several types of medicines but first, he needed his mother to be well taken care of in the hospital. Gerald went to meet the nurse and gave her the black card the old man had given him. The nurse took one look at the card and confiscated it. She then turned to Gerald and wrinkled her nose at him. "Where did you steal this card from?" She asked Gerald rudely. Gerald was taken aback by her rudeness and he got angry. "And what is the meaning of that nonsense? Don't I have the right to own a black card?" Gerald asked the nurse angrily. "Look here Mr. Man! Few minutes ago, you were in debt and now you are paying with a black card? You must think I'm a fool." "Then what are you insinuating?" Gerald asked. "You stole this card! Probably from one of the VIP patients we have here and I will make sure you get arrested for it." The nurse threatening. Gerald could not stand the insults and it resulted into an argument with the nurse until the governor of the hospital came. "What is going on here?" He asked angrily. "Sir! This man here stole this black card and is attempting to use it to pay his mother's hospital bills." The nurse alleged. "Is that true?" The governor asked. Gerald was already tired of explaining himself so he asked the governor to check for himself. The governor took a look at the card and saw the old man's initials. He started apologising to Gerald. "I'm sorry sir for the misunderstanding! Forgive me." He turned to face the nurse. "You are fired!" The nurse began to beg Gerald to plead on her behalf but Gerald ignored her. He paid for the bills and walked away from the hospital ready to divorce Fiona.

"With all due respect sir, I do not appreciate your granddaughter calling me a thug! It's an insult to my person." Gerald complained. "Oh please cut the crap!" The woman shouted at Gerald. "You are not just a thug, but a pervert also!" Gerald became angry. He could not understand why the woman kept insisting that he was a pervert when everything was just a mistake.

He could not believe that Gerald was stronger than him."How come? How come you are stronger than me? I am the disciple of a master." Ivan said to Gerald.

Once she got in.She unfolded the wrap from the box and found a necklace.
