Chapter 205

Mike came back from the lab. Things were not looking so good, and from the looks of things, Mrs Whitney was right: someone was trying to kill Jane, which means their prediction from before was wrong; the target was Jane and not Chris, as they all thought.

He entered the ward and found that Mrs Whitney was still there, and she was there with two nurses watching over Jane.

"I have the results with me" he said and they all looked up at him with expectation

"what's in the result?" she asked

"you are right Mrs Whitney someone is trying to kill Jane, the substance that was tried to be injected is poison, I can't call Chris now he's in a meeting, he has not been to work for days now and I'm sure that he has a lot to do, I will have to call Grace to come over while we wait for Chris to come back and we make a decision" he explained

"oh, that's good, doctor. Please do that, but what will someone want to kill my precious little girl? I'm sure that she has done nothing wrong,", she said in between sobs, not able to believe the wickedness that she was hearing at this moment.

Mike picked up his phone and put a call through to Grace; he had always had her number all this while, but he just never dared to call her and do the needful.

Grace was busy sleeping when she heard her phone ring, she had been so busy yesterday, she had a whole movie premier to prepare for, which was d timing cause now, Jane was not here to help her with it, she wondered who was so important enough to disturb her beauty sleep, she picked up the phone and saw that it was Mike, she didn't even think that she still has number, why the hell is he calling her, she rejected his call, the best thing to do is to avoid him as much as possible but he kept calling her, something tells her that the call is important and that she might need to pick it up, she finally picked the call.

"Hey Grace it's me," he said

"yes I know why are you calling me Dr Mike?" she said sarcastically

"It's about Jane, somebody tried to murder her," he said

"What!! I'm on my way right now" she said and quickly jerked off the bed, she put on something she was not even sure of what she was wearing, she just wore a dress, she took her bag, and car key and fled the room, she had promised the kids that she will be spending time with them today but now their mom needs her more than ever.

She's finding it hard to believe what she just heard him say, Chris will lose it once he hears this,

she quickly got to the hospital and went straight to the ward, as soon as she got there she met Mrs Whitney, Mike and a nurse waiting for her right there

"and what exactly happened? How did this happen? Is she fine? Is she hurt?" Grace asked as she made her way to where Jane, she held her hand and was almost crying, she had been going through a lot lately and she felt for her

She looked up at Mike and asked him "Does Chris know about this?" she asked

"no, he doesn't I figured that he must be busy at the moment and telling him would only make him panic and he might do something crazy, that was why I decided to call you instead," he said to her

"but why would anyone try to do this to her," Grace said this time she didn't hold back the tears, she just allowed them to to flow freely from her eyes

Mike felt a prick in his heart watching her cry like that, he wished that he could hold her and kiss her forehead telling her everything would be fine but Mrs Whitney beat him to it

She went ahead and held her hand "It's okay, my child, everything will be fine, you see she has gone through a lot in her life, and this is just another phase; it will also pass, trust me" She rubbed her back and wiped her tears till she calmed down.

"Does anyone recognize the person, besides was the person here with a gun?" she asked

"no the person, a lady to be precise cause a nurse saw her and said that she has been here before, in fact, that she's a familiar face" he said

"What!!" she exclaimed

"yea I thought the same as well, just she deceived the nurse into getting her coffee, luckily Mrs Whitney came just in time to stop her" he said

"but unfortunately I didn't see her face cause she was putting on a scalf, sunglass and a face mask" she said

"so have you checked the CCTV footage we can see who it is from there," she said

"oh that's true now that you mentioned it, let's go to the control room," he said and they all followed him

Gloria the nurse that was placed in charge of Jane went out to get her lunch, she was about to go back into the main building of the hospital when someone tapped her from behind, she looked up and saw that it was a man

"How may I help you?" she asked

"just do as I say," the man said poking a gun close to her waist

Gloria had to cover her mouth to stop herself from screaming. She followed the guy just as he had said, and he took her to the garage; he made sure that no one was passing and shot her right on the head.
