27. A desperate move

All through their drive to the hospital, she tried several times to call his family and hers with none of them picking her calls.

She was panicking and crying at the same time.

she didn't bother to call Betty about was what happening as she wasn't haven't it easy too and was not going to add more problems to her.

Immediately she got to the hospital she dash inside and was lucky enough to see Lewis when she was about dailing his number to know which room her husband was placed in.

" Ma'am, he is in the VIP ward ", he informed her as she made to open her mouth to ask him .

" How is he ?" , She asked him as they headed to the elevator which will take them up .

" He is been attended to by the doctors and the director of the hospital is there too but no information yet on how he is", he told her.

" Okay", she replied as they entered the elevator.

" Ma'am his family and yours are in there", he told her so as to prepare her for what was to come.

He saw her stilled , drawing in quick breaths.

Lewis felt a lot of sympathy for Megan even though he wasn't there when the whole thing happened, he got to learn about it from the media and snippets of conversations around his boss but he never for oneday believed what they said about her because the lady he saw in the news paper, magazines and online gossip blogs was different from what they say about her.

Everytime she was photograph even though she tried to school her emotions, he could see the pain in her eyes.

The past five years he worked for his Boss, he noticed that everything concerning her never spoke on any relationship with any man and he knows with her looks and body she could have gotten a rich man but she never did.

His instinct  has never failed him and this made him always try to be helpful to her whenever he could.

Her decency was topnotch that it surprised him and when he got the reports concerning her, he felt sad that she had to go through what she did.

It was even more sad that her family don't even like her.

He decided to inform her because he knew that despite the fact that his Boss had an accident his family and hers won't hold any empathy for her feelings.

They have always been open about how they viewed her.

" Thank you so much", she said to him sincerely expressing her gratitude and he nodded in acknowledgement as they walked in.

As they got inside, the whole place was flanked with body guards on black suits with tie, there were ear piece connected to their ears where they communicate with each other and they get their orders.

She stare at them not recognizing any. One of the guards walk up to them while speaking using the ear piece.

" Hello! , I just got an order that you are not allowed in", he said blocking them. 

" What do you mean? My husband is in there and you are saying this?", She asked in disbelief as she faced him in anger.

" Sorry ma'am, it is an order ", he answered stoic showing no emotion whatsoever.

" Damn the orders! ", She yelled and cursed out " let me see my husband ", she shouted as she made to pass him .

" Let her through ", a cool voice said  causing him to withdraw revealing the Macallam madam , Jared's Mom BRIDGET .

She was as composed as ever with no emotions display to show that her son was the one in an emergency situation, putting on a purple colored gown that as goldthread weaved all over the edges  with two middle aged women who were clearly her attendants.

" Mom, what is going on?", She asked her as she got close to her  " I called no one answered, is my husband okay?", She asked her face filled with worries.

" I am not your mom, never call me that and don't even try to pretend you care about my son cos we both know the truth", she answered her with disdain.

In a normal family setting, Megan emotional feelings will be considered but not here everyone dislikes her.

" Can we put aside our differences for now and just concentrate on Jared alone please ", she pleaded , there has been no day conversation with her or any members of the family that have ever turned out pleasant.

" You don't need to pretend, those here are not outsiders", she replied her. Then turned as she headed back inside with her two lackeys following her .

Megan quickly followed she didn't care about their exchange, she just wanted to check on her man to be sure that he is okay that is what matters to her, every other thing was irrelevant.

Bridget suddenly turned and asked " where do you think you are going to?" . 

" I want to see my husband", she answered surprised at the question as she looked at her wondering why she always looked at her snobbishly while her lackeys watched on.

" You are not allowed in, go home", she said with a commanding tone as she turned and resume walking.

" Mom, I am afraid I can't obey that I want to see my husband", she said as she starts following her.

Bridget signal two guards to block her and prevent her from taking another step.

" Go home, you are not needed here", she said and left.

Megan made as if she wanted to fight the guards then thought of something and stopped before she sighed tired knowing she wasn't winning any of this, " Lewis, can you please keep me updated", she asked him quietly.

" Sure , ma'am", he responded. He has watched everything by the side as he couldn't interfer in their family matters.

" Thank you once again", she told him with her voice breaking.

" It is no problem ma'am", he replied nodding his head.

She took one glance longing at the door wanting nothing more than to be by the side of the love of her life especially during this period and not even knowing if he is okay was also killing her.

Then she turned, took the elevator while at the same time called the driver to inform him that she was coming outside. She got outside, got into the car and he drove her home.

She has kept all her emotions bottled inside throughout the ride home till she saw the tall building, showing that they were home that she started crying.

The whole situation looks so ridiculous to her and she hated the fact that his family was being callous to her despite the situation on ground.

The driver Maurice  sighed as he parked the car as he could hear her cry and see her in the front mirror of the car.

" Everything will be fine, ma'am", he assured her.

He didn't need to be told that she was prevented from meeting him, he knew they will do that.

She looked up at him as she wipes he cheeks and said " thank you ".

She came out of the car as the butler came to her while she just shake her head and walk past him headed inside.

***

" What is going on?", The butler asked the driver.

" They didn't let her see him", he told him leaning on the car.

" Oh!", The butler said while shaking his head. " I don't understand why they are so mean to her", he quipped angrily to Maurice.

He was free to speak with him this way cos they were friends for long before they both got employed here.

" Me either", he replied voicing his own opinion.

They have both study her for months now and they could tell that whatever was said about her was so different from her real self.

While she was made out to be a golddigger, a cheat and a vicious lady the reality was way too different.
