Her hate...
Dr Nigel, coughed out the awkwardness within him.
" Well....as you have already heard from nurse Jyna, you ingested a lot of methanol that caused the destruction of the optic nerves causing permanent blindness.... Your condition is irreversible. You are literally blind but we will wait for some months before affirming you legally blind"
Samantha heard the doctor, in her mind everything was a lie.
"don't shit me" Samantha said laughing.
"Am guessing you knew that when you tried to commit suicide" Dr Miller said quizzically.
"Suicide? I tried to commit suicide? what are you saying you shit hole"...
"Yes, you did overdose on sleeping pills and windshield washing liquid?...or are you saying you didn't know and someone did that to you on purpose?"
"Sam baby, I brought you water" Grace said nervously.
"Should i be drinking anything coming from you?"
"I'll leave you two..." Doctor Nigel Miller said walking to the door.
"Doctor?"Samantha called, her mother scared out of her mind."Sam baby"her mother called her again.
"Yes Sam?" his inner voice said.
He turned to her and answered
"Yes, miss Samantha?
" Am saying..." she paused.
"Am saying I regret coming home"she continued.
"Sam, it's me." The voice within him, calmer and imbued in nostalgia. Shocking Dr Nigel himself.
"Oh, nice to know" he replied confused with her statement.
Even when he was walking away from that room, he knew, things will never be the same. Not when he'd saw this woman again.

Samantha was discharged a day later at the request of her mother. They sat in the car quietly as Marcus their driver drove them home. When they got home, her mother got out of the car and went to Samantha's side to help her.
"I'll help you out" she said calmly
"Don't touch me"Samantha told her with clenched teeth.
"Marcus please help me to my room"
"Yes miss"
Marcus helped her as Mrs Grace got their things out of the house, she too like Samantha hadn't been home. She had destructed herself from the incidence by working her self out, spending time either at the hospital or at work.
They where alone again, the house was cold and quiet except from kitchen utensils that occasionally made some noise as Lisa, the maid/cook cooked them dinner.
Her mother knocked on Samantha's door but there was no response, she tried to open the door but it was locked.
"Sam?"
" ....."
"Open up Sam"...
There was no response, so she went to the living room, where they kept keys and got a spare key for Samantha's room.
She used a butter knife to push the key that was already in the key hole from inside and unlocked the door.
"Sam mom is sorry"she began.
"I couldn't leave without you, I needed you to survive, i know its selfish but i don't regret doing it because I'll look after you for the rest of my life"
"So you blinded me to hold me hostage?"
"...."
"I hate you..... i loathe you.... i abhor you" Samantha said crying.
"please don't say that Sam, you love mom"You told me that all the time.
"that was then"
"You can't say that to me"
"For you I'll do anything please baby"
"You are crazy"
"Mom loves you"
"Who blinds the people they love, mom that's not love, hurting a person to depend on you is just evil"
"Am sorry", Grace fell to floor crying, i shouldn't have.
"The woman who adopted two little children and raised them with so much love, where has she gone? because she is definitely not here"... Samantha told her.
Grace wailed on the floor.
"Am sorry Sam, am sorry...mom is sorry"
"I can't wait to find a way to leave you"
"No, no...please don't leave me"
"Please leave"
Grace looked at her daughter's indifferent look, "What have i done"she thought, this is not me...
