Back at Eileen’s penthouse she partied and shared wine with Robin and Benjy while Eileen kept to non-alcoholic wine the rest drunk to their fill. They made toasts and dined. Robin’s phone beeped and beeped, yet he was too busy partying to even notice.“I was so scared at a certain point, I thought you’d go to jail” Eileen confessed.“Lawyer MacCauly is the best lawyer in town, ask Benjy he’ll tell you, he could even help you get away with murder” Robin bragged.“Ah really?” Eileen remarked as an evil smile spread across her lips. “So if I break into a house and steal a painting he can help me get away with burglary?” “Oh God not the painting again” Benjy cried.“You thought I was going to let it go? Benjy you should know me” Eileen laughed. “I like you miss Aikens, there’s nothing more sexy than a woman who goes after what she wants” Robin complimented her and she instantly felt flattered. She smiled sheepishly.“Robin you do know how to flatter a woman, your cousin has a lot to le
At the conference hall Rosa was called to give an explanation for her actions, all she did was lie and lie, Dr. Colbert who had slowly recovered from the incident just sat there shaking his head. There was nothing he could do to save her even if he tried. She had dared harm the son of the hospital’s biggest shareholder. What the hell was she thinking? Being the head of the department he felt responsible for the actions and inactions of those assigned to him. To make matters worse she was lying to people who had studied psychology, psychiatry and all the things that had to do with the human mind. He buried his head in shame. It was decided that Rosa was guilty of intentionally causing harm to a patient and also being involved intimately with a patient, since it was against hospital rules to date patients and Cody had come for a check up with his wife when Rosa met him and got involved with him. She was stripped of her license to ever practice in the medical field again.She changed in
Nina made for the office with her protruding tummy leading the way. She stepped into her father’s office and sat down panting heavily.“Nina, why are you here?” Her dad asked when she sat down. He was concerned about her because she had started to fall sick again during the sixth month of the pregnancy and had been asked to rest again. “Dad, I came to request for a long leave, this is my letter” she said placing her letter on the desk.“But couldn’t we have discussed that at home? You could’ve have just called me, instead of putting yourself at risk” Mr. Story lamented. “There was nothing risky about getting here dad, I came from the hospital and decided to pass by and seek permission properly, the doctors think it’s time to allow Cody come home, Cody’s mum thinks he should come to their home but I think we should just go back to our house” Nina said. Mr. Story frowned.“But honey, you’re also not well you can’t take care of him either” he protested.“We’re bringing in a caretaker
Eileen was almost asleep when a call startled her. She grudgingly answered the call.“Open the door” a familiar voice shouted at her from the other end of the line. She quickly went to open the door and Robin stormed in. She gulped and closed the door.“I see you’re in here enjoying you sleep peacefully, while my sister lies in a hospital undergoing another surgery, do you know how much pain she’s in at the moment? Can you give a good reason why I shouldn’t kill you right now?” Robin yelled.Eileen gulped in fear, she was alone at home if he killed her he could easily get away with it.“Can you give me a good reason not to kill you?” He barked again.“I’m not the enemy… if you kill me the one who really did this will get away with it” her voice quivered.“Isn’t this your fault? Weren’t you the one who asked me to own up for an accident I didn’t cause?” Robin yelled.“I did it to protect your cousin… I was mostly concerned about him, he crashed into the car of a powerful person’s son
Seth came in and took a look at Cody examining his mood, earlier when the nurse put him in a wheelchair he wasn’t reacting at all he said nothing and made no expression at all. This was the kind of face he always put on at work, he was a much nicer person when he was outside of work so seeing him in that mood made him think something was on his mind. He looked up when he noticed Seth had walked in and then said with no expression at all.“Are we going home now?” Seth nodded to his question “The doctor will come for you and do a final checkup then we can leave”When the doctor came the questions he asked Cody fell on deaf ears, his mind was far away.“How are you feeling today Mr. Whyte?” He kept asking.“Will I be able to walk again?” He asked suddenly.The doctor sighed so that’s what was keeping him pensive.“Mr. Whyte, we didn’t even think you’d survive it but here you are, I believe you’ll walk again as long you’re religious with your medications and routine check ups” The docto
Nina sat behind a laptop working on some ads to get a caretaker for Cody. When Cody wheeled into the study he was displeased to see Nina there. He hadn’t slept a wink and was in no mood to communicate with anybody. He was about to wheel away when Nina looked up at him.“Good morning Cody, I just put out some ads” she said feeling proud of herself.“What ads?” He asked nonchalantly.“The one to get you a caretaker” she reminded him.“But I have Tia and there are other servants in here what do I need more for?” Cody buzzed.“Cody none of the maids here have expertise in taking care of a person with disability, we need a professional… you’re disabled now and need proper care”Her words struck Cody in the wrong place, when he left the hospital he had asked and had been assured that he’ll walk again. He was hopeful that his pain and fears would end but here Nina sat calling him disabled, like there was no hope for him. Fear began to grip him and so did sorrow.“I hope you don’t misunderst
Tia stayed in the kitchen making breakfast but her mind was far away, she had regretted promising to do anything for Cody and was planning to quit her job without Cody’s notice. She only had to wait till a good caretaker was hired then she’d take a french leave.She walked to the hall with some tea and handed it to Nina who was busily interviewing a heavily disguised Rosa. Tia’s eyes fell on Rosa they both stared at each other for a while before she walked away. Even though she did not recognize her she just had a bad feeling about her. As she handed the tea to Nina, Cody wheeled in. Nina smiled when she saw Cody while Tia slowly walked out of the office.“Honey, meet Francia, she really knows a lot of stuff about taking care of a disabled person, she’s really good” Nina said happily.Cody frowned upon hearing Nina use the word disabled yet again. “We’re hiring her I’m sure you’d love her” Nina continued enthusiastically.“We don’t need her” Cody said bluntly and wheeled away.When
The doctor examined Cody’s folder for a while and put his x-ray results back into the folder. He looked up at Cody who was seated on the examination table.“I’ll be back in a jiffy” he excused himself and left the ward.Seth helped Cody dress up “Mr. Whyte there’s something on my mind I’ve been wanting to ask you” Cody nodded so he continued “Do you still recollect where you were headed to on the day of your accident?”“I was headed home” Cody answered.“How about where you were headed from?” Seth asked.“I was from Eileen’s, I had gone to give her the contract the lawyer drafted for me”Seth nodded trying gather his thoughts “Mr. Whyte, how did she react when you handed her the contract?” He asked again.Cody searched his mind then answered “she wasn’t happy she was hoping we’d get married or something close to that” “And how about the accident do you remember how it happened?” Seth asked hoping Cody will catch the hook himself.Cody only shook his head “All I remember was that I w
