"Doctor, what happen is everything okay senior Jude said in one breath but his face paled when he saw the he expression of the doctor

"D_Do..Doctor s..i.r what is the problem " Elizabeth stammered as the guilt was killing her

The doctor who was in a good mood early as he was in the most of making babies with his wife when he was called for an emergency he wanted to refuse bit his kind-hearted wife beat him to it - wait a minute !! the doctor thought inwardly had they misunderstood him - he decided to break the silence since it was getting akward

"doctor what is it , hope nothing is wrong with my wife " his faced paled as he asked

No!! No - the doctor exclaimed , "the good news is that she is sound and fine - their faced beared a smile .

Elizabeth gave a relief sight not knowing she had been holding her breath for long she smiled but it disappears when she heard what the doctor said again

"- for now he added which brought a sour expression to the duo face

"why , Elizabeth who had the courage decided to ask .

"The bad news is. that you only have a week ,has the turmoil in her brain has occupied a large space ,and from what I can see this is the second stage since you weren't here early for check up and the medical services in this hospital is very bad that is why I suggest that you move her to another hospital or even abroad where they will be able to stabilize her situation" the doctor explained and immediately he said they senior Jude collapsed to the ground as he cried out like a baby

hmmm. *cough* "I suggest you start looking for money ,go to the front desk to clarify it if they is no problem I would take my leave ; after saying that the doctor turn to leave as a smile came upon his face as he remembered he had some unfinished business with his wife , so that next time she would not seduce him to go to the hospital to perform an surgery and just that though made him smile to himself like an idiot

Mr Jude was devastated when he heard of the news about his wife , he dashed out and when he saw her he started crying cursing himself of being a failure and a useless person not been able to protect his family .

Elizabeth went out to give her father some space - she then went to the form desk to collect the information of her hospital bill but when she saw the amount her mouth went dry and her eyes widened in shock and disbelief , it was the amount that made her shocked it was an amount with six zeros at the back plus the traveling fees 5millon. what do all this people take them for, is it as a money making machine how did they expect ppl like them to afford money like that she lamented silently but kept quiet after that she went in then she saw her mom, who was already awake but the dryness in her shin was evident that she was not not feeling well .

"Mo_morning mom" she stammered as she was still filled with guilt of what has happened earlier _ but she was surprised when Mary answered her .

Mary was a hind hearted person and everyone knew that but are such kind of people suppose to exist in this kind of evil world she wondered

"how are you doing I brought some fruit" _ she then dropped the basket by the side and turned to her dad _ " dad this is the file " she said as she gave it with shaky hands m_she was about to talk when Mary cut in

"where are your siblings " her mum asked in her gentle meek voice

Oh not sure o forget late night after her father outburst he had told her to go and take care of her siblings, she had two younger siblings ,farternal twins a boy and a girl, the gurl was called taiye(Daniella) due to their culture as she came out 2mintue early than her brother kehinde(Daniel)

she had just told them that their mom was fine and was stressed out but the boy Daniel who was a smart lad understood that their mom was ill he asked the reason but she couldn't say anything and just told them to go and sleep.

"they are fine _" she was interrupted by the scream her father made .
