Landon's mother walked into the ward and met Kim in there with Landon.
“Landon.” She called with tears in her eyes.
“Mom? Why are you here?” Landon asked and Kim quickly moved back so she could get closer.
“What kind of question is that? Did you expect me to hear my son is in the hospital and keep sleeping?” His mother asked in a shaky voice.
“Mom, you didn’t have to. I am fine.” He responded and Sara rolled her eyes.
“I am your mother, you don’t have to pretend you are one strong man to me. Kimberly, can you please excuse us?” Sara asked and Kim nodded walking out of the ward.
“Now she is gone, you don’t have to pretend you are fine. Talk to me.” Sara stated sitting next to him on the bed.
“I am scared.” He mumbled and tears rolled down Sara's eyes. She knew he was scared but didn’t want to show that part of himself to Kim.
“I know baby, I know you are and I am too. The doctor…” She said and Landon cut her short.
“he told you wh
“I can’t believe this, how did she get such a huge amount under 24 hours. Did Landon help her out?”“Or is she his slut?” Alex asked himself repeatedly. He wished she never found the money to pay him back so he would have to see her again.Now she had paid the debt, there is no need for them to see.“I can’t let this happen. I can’t just let her go, I can’t give up. Not after what I have done for her and the family.” He thought.He needed to know if Racheal was still on his side. He knew Kim's mother well. She supports only the money side.He put a call across to Racheal and she picked up when the call almost disconnected.“Hey, Alex. What is it?” Rachael asked nonchalantly.“That is weird of you, you don’t greet me that way,” Alex replied. He knew he already lost Kim from her side.“Well, I guess that has changed. Has Kim paid up her debt?” she asked and Alex shut his eyes in anger.He hated her already.“She has. I guess
“Thank you,” Landon said to the doctor acting strong.The Doctor nodded and began to move out of the ward when Kim turned to follow him.“Don’t leave,” Landon said with fear in his voice, making Kim stop.“I am not leaving, I will never do that. I just want to talk to the doctor.” Kim said cleaning the tears that rolled down her cheeks.“Why? He doesn’t have anything to say anymore.” Landon uttered and Kim shook her head.“I am not just going to sit down here and watch you die in seven days, Landon.” She muttered and Landon sighed.“You can’t do anything about this. This is my fate.” He said and she shook her head.“I can surely do something about it, and I will.” She replied and ran out of the ward weeping.“Doctor!” She called out running after him. The doctor heard his name and stopped to look at her.“Yes ma'am,” he responded and Kim stopped in front of him breathing hard.“Run some tests on me.” She said and he raised
“How is it, doctor?” Kim asked as he drew out the test papers. He had a normal look on his face which kept Kim wondering what was in the paper.“Check it out.” He said and Kim opened the paper carefully. She kept shaking as she did.“What if it turns negative? What if I can’t help him? What if he does because of me?” Kim thought as she began to read what was written on the paper.She smiled widely as she saw they had compatible blood groups.“This is great! We can do it right?” She asked and the doctor sighed sadly. Kim furrowed her brows looking at him.“Why? Why the face? What is going on?” she asked fearfully.“Your other kidney is not so healthy Kim. If you donate the healthy one to him, there are chances that…” He stated.“That what doctor? Finish it.” Kim said with tears in her eyes.“That you would have complications at
Kim stared at him for minutes and he felt a weird connection between them.“Kimberly.” He called and she smiled softly.“yes.” She responded and he kept his eyes locked with hers.“Can I ask you for a favor before I die?” He asked and she shook her head.“you are not dying Landon. You are staying here with us, many people don’t want you dead. And I am part.” She explained and Landon smiled faintly.“I know you have faith that I wouldn’t die. But you should know, this is my fate. So please can you do me a favor?” He asked and she nodded with tears in her eyes.“There are two things. The first is, I need you to contact my lawyer, I need him here.” He said and she nodded.“And the second?” She asked.“I want you to come closer.” He said and she creased her brows. She swallowed hard and moved her head closer to his.Sh
Alex walked home feeling so sad because of what Kim did to him. He walked to the hospital where Kim’s father was admitted.He got to the ward and walked in to see Racheal chatting with her husband.“Racheal,” Alex called and she rose her head to see Alex boiling in anger.“What’s up?” She asked standing up and Alex looked at her husband.“Hi, Alex.” He greeted and Alex smiled faintly.“Hi, sir.” He said. Kim's father, Peter noticed Alex wasn’t looking so happy and he was trying to keep his feelings.“Are you okay?” He asked and Alex nodded smiling. Rachael walked up to him and they both walked out of the ward.“what is going on?” She asked and he sighed.“I am just back from the hospital where Landon is laid. I met with Kim and can you believe what she did?” He asked and she kept looking at him.“What?” she a
Peter stood up in haste, he knew something was wrong. He felt pain at the side of his belly but he didn’t stop. He walked to the door of the ward and met Racheal walking in. “Peter, why did you get up! What is going on?” Rachael asked in shock, she held his hand and wanted to pull him back but he dragged his hand from hers. “I need to see Kimberly now.” He said and Racheal furrowed her brows. “Why do you want to see her? I told you she is busy. You know what, why don’t you go back to the bed and I will put a call across to her.” Rachel said calmly. “So you can do what you do best?” He asked in anger and Racheal was confused. “What do I do best? What are you talking about Peter?” She asked. “You lied to me about Kim being busy, and you are still lying to my face again. You didn’t talk to her, did you?” he asked and she nodded. “of course I did.” She said and Peter sighed feeling so angry. “You are making me hate
The nurses rushed to where Peter had collapsed and laid him on a stretcher, they pushed him into the emergency unit and began to revive him.“Surgeon, how is she? Was it successful?” Sara asked anxiously.“Yes Ma'am, congratulations. It was successful and we have the kidney ready for your son.” He said and Sara shut her eyes and smiled happily.“Thank you so much, Sir, I hope she is good,” Sara asked and he nodded.“Good for now Ma'am. But I must say, she took a very great risk. Her other kidney is not so healthy. She has to live on drugs for the rest of her life.” He said and tears rolled down Sara's face.“Did she know this before?” She asked and he nodded.“Yes, we warned her but she insisted. She loves your son Ma'am, she gave him her kidney when you couldn’t even think of doing that. You owe her.” he said walking away.The words of the doctor were heavy
AFTER SIX HOURSKim opened her eyes slowly blinking severally to have a clearer view of where she was.She finally got a clearer view and she turned her head to see Sara sitting next to her and staring at her.“Hi Kim,” Sara said smiling widely and she responded smiling faintly.“Hi, Ma'am Sara.” She said weakly.“How do you feel? Are you alright? I can get a doctor for you if necessary,” she said and Kim shook her head.“Oh, you don’t have to. It is not that bad.” Kim responded and Sara nodded smiling.“Thank you so much.” She said and Kim looked at her again.“What for?” She asked.“For doing this for my son.” She said and Kim shook her head.“You don’t have to be, I did it for myself. I would never forgive myself if Landon dies so early because of my silly mistake, which I never said sorry for.” She said
