Chapter 435 Gracie Peters

Did he say marry him, like seriously? What part of I don't want to have anything to do with him does he not understand? I cringed inside and turned my face away from him.

  "Theophilus, I thought we have talked about this, I made it clear already that it's not possible. I am sorry I can't marry you. I don't belong to your world and you don't belong in mine. I know the opposite attracts each other but I have checked and balanced it and I found out that we can't be. I want you to be happy, go and perform your duty as a prince and a husband-to-be. Bear it in mind that I will grace your wedding, that's the least I can do. Please go now"

 He struggled to stay behind but the force pulling him was stronger. He did not fail to show how disappointed he was.

   Lucy came back with the doctor a moment later.

   The doctor screened me from head to toe and cleared his throat.

  "Who are you?"

 I looked at Lucy to see if the doctor was asking her or me and when it was obvious the question was for me, I stared at him. Does he want to check if I lost my memory?

   "Can I get your name please?"

He repeated the question.

   "My name is Gracie Joe"

"Where do your parents live"

My mom lives in the woods. I don't know about my dad. Doctor, is there a problem?I think I am free to go now. Can you discharge me? am I supposed to pay? had do I pay?"

 "Sure, you are free to go, your friend here has cleared the bills. Come back next tomorrow for check up"

   He said, turned and left.

The doctor acts weird, was he not supposed to check if I am fine? All he was after was who I am and who my parents are.

   "Girl, let's go"

Lucy said and helped me sit up.

She assisted me and I got down from the bed, helped me put on slippers and we began making our way out of the ward.

  We got to the door and I stopped then faced Lucy,

"Lucy, thank you so much for looking after me. I am sorry I caused you so much trouble, you should be at home chilling out doing whatever you want but you are here in the hospital looking after me and making sure I am ok and again, clearing my bills. I am grateful you have been like a sister to me. Even though you don't know me but you didn't mind, thank you so much"

   "Awwwwn, that's so touchy, you make me feel like I have done the world for you. I didn't do anything, anyone in my shoes would do the same for you. You are a weird girl and there is something about your personality that attracts me to you and I love helping you. I love taking care of you. I never had a sister so you see I take you as my younger sister. If you wouldn't mind being one. I am not adopting you but you can see me as a big sis"

   I smiled to really show her that I accepted her offer of being a younger sister. We continued our journey out of the hospital and finally we got to where Lucy parked her car. She helped me in and got into her own side then drove off to the hospital.

  I saw the sign post of the hospital, Hilltop hospital. The name sounds familiar. I just have a feeling that I have been here, maybe mom brought me here or so. I don't even think she ever did because she said I never fell sick to the point she had to seek for external help. My sickness heals with just herbs.

  It just has to be my mind's playing tricks on me. Even if my mum ever brought me to the hospital when I was a baby, how am I supposed to remember that?. Babies don't have memories, do they? I can't even remember something that happened in the last 13years, not to mention something that happened when I was a baby.

   "Are we going home straight or are we going to the Boutique?"

"To the Boutique of course, I need to pick a dress. It is the least I can do for my friend"

  Lucy nodded and focused on driving us to the Boutique while my mind drifted off to something I saw last night. Can't tell if it's real or it was just a nightmare.
