The news of Lily's condition had reached the ears of Derrick and all who had come to see her. They all got to know that Lily was pregnant at the time of the accident and had lost the baby who was a few weeks old. She also suffered an acute cerebral haemorrhage. Although she appeared to be out of danger after the operation, the doctor had said it would take months for her to recover fully. Derrick was still standing rooted to the spot where the doctor had delivered the news of Lily's condition to them. He only moved when he saw Lily on a stretcher being moved to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. He followed them his gaze on Lily who had her whole body covered with a bandage with IVs attached to her. He was stopped at the entrance. Luis got closer to Derrick and placed his hand on his shoulders pulling him back to the waiting area. He walked him to the seat. Rose offered him some water. Silently Derrick took the water and drank it. His father came to sit next to him "Did y
Derrick spent the night at the hospital with Lily. He sat on the chair with his head resting on the space left on the side of the hospital bed. Rose had finally slept after their loving-making session but Luis could still not sleep. He had a lot on his mind. He blamed himself for what happened to Lily. If he had not ignored her the way he did, she wouldn't have left and perhaps she would have been fine. "Is this accident an act of revenge for Lily killing Mrs. Mingle? or Sheila and Jennifer are still after her? or is it an accident?" He thought "Wait, if it was an accident, the driver would have waited instead of driving off." He took a deep breath. His attention quickly went to Rose who moved in his arms, like she wanted to get up but lay back in his arms. He eventually closed his eyes and slept.The alarm in Rose's room started ringing. Rose got up and turned it off. She pulled the sheets to cover herself as she realized she was naked. The event of the early hours of the morning
Luis dropped off Aunty Rebecca and Joesph who wanted to return to Mexico and after went with Rose to the hospital with the food he had prepared with the help of Aunty Rebecca to see Derrick and find out how Lily is doing. Lily was still in a coma but Luis got a call informing him they had found the car that ran Lily over. He replied by telling them he would be there in Twenty minutes. He kissed Rose on the cheek and patted Derrick's back before saying; "They have found the car that ran Lily over. I am going to the station to find out who it was and why?" He informed them before leaving. He arrived at the station within the communicated period, Twenty minutes. "Hey, good afternoon" he greeted and walked into the office of the in charge "Hello, I am Luis Gómez, a lawyer from Mexico," He said offering his hand in greetings to the in-charge "I know you, the famous Mexican lawyer who had never lost a case. I must say, I am very impressed with how you carried out your investigati
Luis returned to the hospital to hear about Lily's deteriorating state for which they were told to expect the worse. Luis already suspected foul play as he knows the accident was not coincidental. Someone is after her life. After asking Rose and Derrick a few questions, he looked at the position of the gas outlets. One was right above Rose. If anything is put in the air, it will pour directly on her and the next person will be the receptionist. He walked to one of the doctor's offices and requested to speak with management. He was sent to the office and he greeted and announced why he was there. "Good evening, I am Luis Gomez. My friend's fiancee had an accident and was brought here. She was doing fine even though in a coma but now we have been told she is dying. No one can tell what had triggered the sudden deterioration even though they believe it was sudden" he narrated "To your point Mr Gomez?" the manager asked "Can I see the CCT Footage for her room?" He requested "I am sorr
Through Luis, it has come to light someone was behind Lily's sudden deteriorating health. To save her, they run a blood test to identify what drug was injected into her to give such a reaction. After running multiple tests, they identified the medication that had triggered the deterioration. An intervention was quickly initiated. Lily who appeared to still be in a coma began to stabilize. Now they just have to wait for her to wake up. Derrick went to see her. He did look terrible for not having to take care of himself for days. Since Lily was admitted, he had been by her side all through. His beard had grown, and his hair was messy. Although Luis has been doing him a favour by bringing him fresh clothes to change into, he did not look his usual best. He has also not had proper sleep for days. Aside from the bags under his eyes, they are also swollen from crying. Rose walked into the room, she was just keeping Derrick company and making sure he was eating as Luis went around trying t
Rose convinces Derrick to go home, freshen up and rest for a while with a promise to call if anything comes up. Luis has also found the nurse behind Lily's sudden health deterioration. The doctors have also been able to stabilize her condition.Marcus arrived with Derrick at the apartment and they both got down and went inside the house. Marcus waited in the living room and Derrick went upstairs to his bedroom. The housemaid who had opened the door could not recognize Derrick. "What happened to him?" was the question on her mind. She went to the kitchen to gossip with the other house servants. Derrick went straight to the washroom, and he froze when he saw his reflection in the mirror. He stared at himself for a while wondering when he had grown such bushy facial hair. He opened the cabinet, brought out a shave stick and began shaving his facial hair. He took a shower after, dressed up and neatly combed his hair. He returned to the bedroom and sat on the bed for a while. After sta
"I will tell you everything. Please, promise me you will protect me from them," she pleaded "Protect you from who?" Luis questioned turning to look at her with his hand on the doorknob.She mouthed the word "The Black Dragon" Luis thought about her request for a while and gave her a nod. He gestured to her to sit, and she obliged. "Now tell me everything you know," Luis requested "It was not really about the money as my life and that of my sister were threatened" she said "I don't know the lady in question. My husband was into that kind of business. That is why they came to find me. They just asked me to inject her with the medication they gave me" she added"Hmm, I see. Did they come to your house, or did they meet you somewhere?" Luis questioned "I was taken from my house at dawn. I was sleeping. Next, I felt a hand and a cloth covering my mouth. I woke up in what looked like a basement. That is where they instructed me on what to do. I returned to my house the same way" she re
Derrick sat next to Lily on the newly provided seat chatting with Lily who was still in a coma. Lily squeezed his hand as soon as his tears touched the back of her hand. He quickly called for a doctor A doctor and a nurse walked into the room. The doctor checked Lily and smiled. He turned to face Derrick "Her healing had progressed tremendously. She will open her eyes soon" The doctor gave him the good news and he left with the nurse. Derrick was smiling ear to ear "Lily, thank you for not leaving me and fighting to stay with me. I promise you; I will not let anyone harm you again" he said happily Lily opened her eyes, but she wore an expressionless look on her face. Derrick, seeing her eyes were open, called out to her "Lily! Lily, can you hear me?" Lily looked at him but was still expressionless. He called out to the doctor again who returned quickly to the ward and was shocked she had opened her eyes already.The doctor checked her again and spoke "Hello" he said but Lily on
