Chapter 24
* Tyler’s Pov *
I walked in, into the mansion and was a bit surprised to see the maids in distress. What was going on?
* Do you think she was poisoned? I saw stains of blood on her mouth *
* I pray it isn’t so, else we might all lose our jobs * I overheard the maids saying among themselves. I walked over to them, confusion written all over my face.
” What happened? ” I asked with a raised brow. ” It’s Miss Marvy. She was found on the floor with blood stains on her mouth, where she had passed out “. The maids explained and I suddenly felt my head flew off.
” What… What are you saying? ” I stuttered, hoping it was all a joke. ” Sire rushed her to the hospital some minutes ago.. ” She muttered and without waiting for her to finish, I rushed out of the mansion. I wasn’t sure of what I was doing at that moment but I was conscious of where I was headed to as I suddenly got into my car and after reviving the engine, I zoomed out of the company.
** Hospital **
I dashed towards the ward Marvy was said to be as directed by a nurse I had met in the reception. I got there and truly I met dad pacing to and fro by the ward door.
” Dad, what happened to Marvy? ” I rushed as I dashed to where dad was raiding at a spot. He stopped on seeing me at first but then continued pacing by the door, not without eyeing me.
I scoffed inwardly before standing by the transparent glass and I could see a clear view of the ward Marvy was. Some doctors were attending to her – I heaved a heavy sigh even without knowing, seeing the state she was, was so saddening.
Her eyes were shut and her face was becoming a bit wriggled, that alone was enough to scare me the more.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Is she okay? Did she try to commit suicide by taking poison? Did she do that ’cause of the words I had said to her? I was beginning to feel guilty after all.
I really hope she’s fine. I glanced at dad and the worried look on my face was nothing compared to his, he was looking more worried and scared than I was. Of course, he should be, she was placed under his care and custody. He would definitely be held responsible if a thing happens to Marvy or is there something else to this?
I eyed him suspiciously tho he wasn’t facing me, his attention was centered on Marvy as he watched the doctors attend to her through the transparent glass.
* Some Minutes Later *
The few doctors who were in with Marvy came out almost in a troop, only one walked over to us and I recognized him as our family doctor, Mr Cyrus. ” How’s she Mr Cyrus? ” Dad asked as Mr Cyrus walked over to us. I was standing right next to dad by now.
” She’s fine now, she would be awake in some hours from now ” He said with a smile on his lips. Dad heaved a sigh of relief. ” What really happened to her? ” Dad asked Mr Cyrus as we three made our way into Marvy’s ward. ” She had overstressed her mental health. She needs enough rest and definitely needs to stop overthinking things, but she’s fine now. Ensure that she gets enough sleep and rest ”
” Her mental health could be easily stressed cause of her condition and how young she still us, so please ensure that she’s fine always ” Mr Cyrus advised and dad nodded, listening attentively. But I actually felt they were speaking in codes as I couldn’t understand some things he had just said.
” You can stay with her till she’s fully awake and she could be discharged by then ” He added and dad nodded again while I bowed slightly as he walked out of the ward after acknowledging my greeting with a nod and a light smile.
Dad sat down on a seat near Marvy’s bed while I stood by the other side, my back resting by the drawer stationed there. There was a brief silence between I and dad before he broke it. ” Where were you when she passed out? ” Dad eyed me almost angrily or let’s say it’s just me misinterpreting his glare on me.
” Dad I was out.. “. ” Out where? ” He cut me off with a snap.
” With my friends… ” I was about stopping but dad’s intense glare on me made me spit out the words forcefully. ” At a club house ” I completed and I could see his face twitch to an angry one as he folded his palm onto a fold, gritting his teeth. ” You were at a club house while she was dying!? ” Dad asked angrily, obviously trying to place the blames on me.
” Dad, you know well clearly that it’s not my fault! Why pushing the blames on me? ” I asked almost angrily. ” Excuse me? I placed her on your watch but you failed, she almost died as a result of your carelessness! ” Dad snapped and I let out an angry scoff.
” What was I supposed to do? Tag her along with me everywhere? ” I snapped back at him. ” Yes! That’s clearly what you were asked to so. She’s your wife and she’s here just for you! You ought to stay with her every fvcking time! ” Dad blurted out, even without knowing that he had spilled the truth. I scoffed unbelievably,
” So it’s true. Her main purpose of being here was originally to get engaged to me, and she’s actually not my cousin as you two claimed!! ” I asked and dad looked away after he finally processed all that had just happened.
I looked at a corner of his eyes and I saw guilt flashed across his face. ” Yeah, I’m right anyways ” I muttered and with that walked out of the ward in frustration. I’m glad she’s fine anyways.
