“You… what did you do to her?” her father questioned Vanessa. “She ran into me and i took her here for food” replied Vanessa. “So should i thank you for keeping her alive?” the man asked angrily. Vanessa looked at him and picked up her purse. “It’s good that you found her. I’ve done my duty and I’m leaving” she said and then took her leave not minding Lisa who was struggling to get out of her father’s hands. “Be quiet, ugly,” the man said in a baleful manner and she immediately stopped struggling. “Now that’s a good girl” the man muttered as he walked to the counter and settled the bills.
When he got out of the restaurant, he saw that his car tyres were flat. He need not guess the culprit. It was Vanessa who was currently hiding in a person’s home. Lisa’s father made a phone call and soon a jeep rolled over and he entered with Lisa. Then the car drove away at full speed. “Damn it! So Lisa’s father is the one who nearly ran me over. So ungrateful and evil. May the heavens punish him” Vanessa thought. ********** Lisa whom her dad thought had fallen asleep suddenly screamed loudly startling her father. This… how could this happen when he was on his way to a vital meeting? What did that woman feed her that she turned out like this? “Ugly monkey stop screaming” he yelled, but she suddenly bit his neck hard and opened the door. Before her dad could react, she was already out of the car. The driver immediately stooped the jeep, and both got out of the jeep. A fleeing criminal had run Lisa over. At once, her dad ran over to her and carried her bridal style. “I want my mummy” Lisa said before fainting.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Vanessa sighed after throwing her purse on the bed. She massaged her forehead and stared at the ceiling. Today was just bad. So bad! She couldn’t even make it to the interview and the little one she saved had a terrible guy for a dad. No wonder she calls him a demon. “Such a man doesn’t deserve to have a child like Lisa in life. Gosh!” she said to herself frustrated. What would she do now? Would her landlord throw her out if she can’t pay her rent? “I wonder how that little Lisa is doing. Forget it! Why worry about someone else’s child?” she scolded herself and then closed her eyes to think but she got kidnapped by sleep. ***** McDermott hospital… This is the best hospital in the whole of Y city. Little Lisa is currently going through surgery for internal bleeding. The surgeon suddenly came out demanding for her father’s blood. Her father has been waiting outside the surgery room. He’s sitting on a waiting chair and is currently conducting a meeting via video. Looking at his calm face, no one would believe his daughter was dying. “Sir…” the surgeon called but Lisa’s father raised his left hand signaling him to be quiet. “End the contract with the Han corporation. No room for discussion,” he said coldly and closed the laptop. He then raised his head to look at the surgeon who was trembling a bit. “What is it?” he asked angrily. “Sir, your daughter needs a blood transfusion,” said the surgeon. “Idiot! Why couldn’t you detect that before the surgery? Now you interrupted my discussion.” Lisa’s father complained. The surgeon didn’t know what to say in reply. “What is her blood type?” Lisa’s father asked as he stared impatiently at his watch. “B-negative” the surgeon replied. “Then why come to me? Go get it from the blood bank” Lisa’s father snapped. “That’s the problem, sir! There’s no such blood type in our blood bank. You are her relative and yet your blood type doesn’t match hers either,” said the surgeon. “So?” Lisa’s father asked with a raised eyebrow. The surgeon was stunned beyond belief. He hadn’t seen such a heartless father. “Do the surgery without blood transfusion. I don’t want someone else’s blood to be transfused into her,” Lisa’s father stated coldly and then he got up and left with two bodyguards. Only one remained. The surgeon was at a loss on what to do. He went back in to do as Lisa’s father instructed; carrying out the surgery without blood transfusion. Miraculously she survived, but she is very weak. They then transferred her to the private recovery room. Vanessa got a call that one of her friends, Evelyn Parkers, was involved in an accident. She barely survived and was currently in the hospital receiving treatment. “Tell me, what the name of the hospital?” she asked worried. “McDermott,” said the caller. “Yes, I’ll be there soon” Vanessa cut the call and quickly rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. 10 minutes later… Vanessa is all set to go out now in pink bum shorts, a black long-sleeved shirt, and sneakers. She did not put on any jewelry or make-up. She picked up a small bag and ran out of the room. **** Vanessa had borrowed taxi fare from a kind neighbor and boarded a taxi heading straight for the hospital. It took 20 minutes to get there and when she finally did; she paid the driver and told him to keep the change. She then ran into the hospital building. It really was worthy of being called a top hospital but it didn’t matter to Vanessa. All she cared about was seeing her beloved friend. She met the receptionist nurses and asked for the ward of her friend. It’s been long since she’s seen, Evelyn. They parted the last time because of a misunderstanding and now she’s got involved in an accident. She must forget the grudges and go see her or else she will not forgive herself. Evelyn is from a rich family but had never told Vanessa so it surprised her when she was taken to the VIP ward. “My friend is sure deep” Vanessa sighed deeply as she half-ran after the nurse who seemed to be running rather than walking. “This nurse should have been an athlete,” Vanessa thought. On the way to Evelyn’s room, Vanessa suddenly felt a pain in her chest. Her legs trembled, and she felt a shiver go down her spine.
