Ch. 146..150: The Wife I Never Met chapter 146-150
Chapter 146
Ciara’s friends sat there on the corridor for a very long time waiting for Ciara to wake up, they were all in shock. What was meant to be a beautiful holiday weekend was turned in to a disaster, Ciara was still unconscious and Dexter was in the emergency room still being operated on.
They sat there without a word from the other, impatiently waiting for the news from the doctor.
Finally the lights went off and the doctor came out.
When they saw him they all stood up, and Donna was the one to ask for the feedback.
” Doctor, how is he doing will he make it?”
The doctor looked at her and sighed,
” It’s ok I’m also a Doctor I can handle it.”
” Firstly let me say that the patient is very lucky to be alive, most people who’ve sustained a head injury through a gun shot never really makes it. The bullet missed his spinal cord, missed the nerves, didn’t touch the brain. It went through and didn’t touch the eye, but hit the socket which sort of caused it to deflect and only cut off a piece of his nostril on its way out. We have put him in an induced coma to allow for him to recover and will continue to monitor his recovery”
That was the time that his wife arrived at the hospital, she was looking so distressed that she didn’t have the energy to fight anyone there, she only asked the doctor for what concerned her.
” Can I see him?”
” I’m afraid at this point we can only allow his family in his ward and only them can decide who gets to see him.”
” Well I’m his wife, so I think I have every right to be with him right now.”
The doctor nodded, and asked her to follow him.
She and both of Dexter’s parents tagged along as they were lead to the recovery ward that Dexter was in.
When they entered they found him laying there peacefully, with a white bandage wrapped around his head and tubes one on his mouth.
Tears flowed uncontrollably out of his wife’s eyes as she held on to his pale cold hand.
” But why did you have to go there? Am I not enough for you, I thought you had gotten over her by now but I guess I thought wrong.
Owh just look at you Darling, what she have caused. What will I be without you, please fight, fight for us if you do love me, you will fight for our love and get out of this alive.”
Dexter’s mom brushed her back in a soothing manner trying to calm her down.
” Don’t do this to yourself, you heard for yourself what the doctor said, he will be fine. Hush now, you crying will only depress him even further.”
” Mother you have no idea how much I’m starting to hate that woman, if she didn’t lure him in to that hotel, we wouldn’t be in this predicament right now. Isn’t she married, so why does Dexter have to go to her then.”
” You know that she loves her husband right? I’m pretty sure that there will be a good explanation for this. Only the people who were in that room can tell us what happened.”
They knew Ciara’s two friends from the time Ciara was dating Dexter, so knowing that Stacey was more sensible than Lisa they asked to see her instead.
” We know you may still be holding a grudge against what our son did to your friend, but with the situation that has fallen on us, we ask that we put all our differences aside and get to the bottom of this. Can you tell us what really happened, was Dexter pestering Ciara again? Is that why that man shot him?”
Stacey shook her head and waved her hands at the same time.
” No not at all, we also thought he was there to cause trouble since there was that DNA test that was circulating around, but Ciara said that they had sorted out their differences and Dexter had apologized. And that was true because all that Dexter did when we open for him was to warn Ciara about the evil plans that his other former lover who happens to be her cousin had in store for her.
He even took that bullet for her, Ciara is the one who is supposed to be here and I’m sure she will feel as though she owes him her life as her saviour.”
This whole new revelation shocked the family to the core, especially Dexter’s wife who thought that his act was proof of the romantic feelings he still harbored deep inside. But as someone who was humble and never really liked conflict she chose to keep quiet and observe from the side maybe it would make more sense when her husband wakes up and explains everything to her.
Dexter’s parents however thought differently, they knew that Ciara would never inflict so much pain on another woman, she herself hated it when Dexter was trying to get back with her so it was impossible that she would agree to that now. They probably thought that his actions were likely due to the guilt that he felt towards Ciara and this was probably his way of paying his debt to her.
As Liam sat quietly next to his wife, thinking about the man behind this ordeal and how he was going to deal with him, he felt a slight movement from the small hand he was holding.
When he looked up, he saw Ciara blinking a few times. He stood up to carefully examine her.
” Are you alright, do you need anything to drink?”
He then took the jug of water that was on her bed side table and poured some of it in to a glass and then passed it over to her.
Ciara just looked at him without saying a word and didn’t take the glass from him, so Liam helped her to sit up straight then helped her drink using a straw.
Ciara only shook her head and gently pushed away the glass.
” What’s wrong, are you not feeling well?”
When he still did not get a response from that Liam panicked and pressed the button next to Ciara’s bed, and not even a minute later, a doctor came in to her room and asked.
” what happened?”
” She’s awake but she’s not saying a word.”
“That’s normal for patients who has gone through a traumatic event, she will adjust in time.”
He took a torch and moved it around Ciara’s eyes, then went on to check her pulse and found that everything was normal.
” Hello I’m doctor Sam, I’d like to ask you a question or two. I’d be happy if you cooperate.”
When the doctor saw that Ciara moved from staring at the wall to looking at him, he proceeded.
” Before we go on, can you tell me your name so that I can address you by it.”
Ciara was annoyed at the doctor’s stupid question, she was at the hospital, her husband was right next to her and her name was clearly written on her file. Even though she felt that way she still answered politely.
” I’m Ciara Jones.”
Liam smiled when he heard that, today was his very first time hearing Ciara say her last name so boldly. And this was a confirmation to him that everything was well with her.
” Ok that’s good, now tell me, do you have any children?”
She looked at Liam for a second there, then turned to the doctor.
” Yes I have a one year old baby girl.”
” Ok perfect, you’ve done well. That will be all for now, I’ll get one of the nurses to bring you something to eat.”
” No don’t worry about that, My husband here will take care of that, thank you.”
Ciara was not in the mood to eat especially since she doesn’t know what happened in that room, or if her friends were still alive. She wanted answers.
Chapter 147
Once the doctor had left, Ciara turned to her husband and looked at him.
” What happened, did any of them get hurt as well?”
Liam looked at her for a while, it was as if he wanted to find something out but at the end he just shook his head, and said.
” None of them got hurt, he left right after shooting the gun in your direction.”
He paused for some time, not sure if he should tell her the truth or just keep it to himself. At the end he took a deep breath and continued,
” Dexter is the only one who got shot while trying to save you.”
Hearing this Ciara’s eyes shot wide open, she removed the blanket wanting to see if she had any gun wounds. All this time she had thought that she was the one who got shot. Why would she be at the hospital then if nothing really happend to her?.
” what do you mean he got shot? The man clearly wanted to kill me, not him.”
She only believed him when she couldn’t find not even a scratch on herself.
” How is he, did he make it out alive?”
” Well he was shot in the head, he did make it although I am not aware of his recovery progress as it didn’t look too good when he got here.”
Her eyes were instantly filled with a lot of guilt, the man was only there to warn her but at the end of the day he was the one who got hurt. Although he had caused her a lot of heartache and grief before, but now they had buried all of that, so of cause she wouldn’t be happy or proud that he had been shot especially when she knew very well that it was because of her.
She looked at her husband with sadness written all over her face and Liam looked right back at her. She could see that he wanted to say something but was holding himself.
” Do you blame me?”
” Blame you for what?”
She kept quiet, and looked down to the IV drip line that was connected to her hand. She then took a deep breath trying to compose herself.
” Well do you blame me for putting my friends and I in danger especially after you’ve warned me to be vigilant. I know you had initially asked me to move it to our wedding week as the resort would be a lot more safer for all of us.”
” It’s true that this could’ve been avoided if you were a lot more vigilant, but No, I don’t blame you at all. All you wanted was to go out and have fun, how would you have known that they were planning to harm you.”
He reassured her while gently caressing the hand he was holding. He wantend to feel and know that he was supporting her and would always be by her side.
” Your friends are outside, would you like to see them?”
He knew how long they’ve been there, and thought they’d really appreciate it and feel a lot at if they find out that she was now awake and in great health.
But Ciara’s response shocked him as he wasn’t expecting it, she shook her head and requested something else.
” I will see them later but for now can you take me to Dexter’s ward I’d like to see him.”
Instead of helping her out of the bed, he asked what he’s been meaning to ask,
” Why was he also in the room? You never mentioned anything about him joining you, how come he was shot inside your hotel room?”
” Don’t get angry, he came up to warn me about Boity, I guess he was afraid he wouldn’t get to me in time before the wedding so he stalked us and that’s how he found out we were going there.
He said something about Boity harming Lina exactly on our wedding day, he said she’d get a better chance there as everyone would be more focused on us than the baby.”
” And yet you still opened for her?”
If Dexter was there to warn her, knowing the kind of person her cousin was, Ciara should’ve taken the threat seriously.
” Well when she came in, all she did was to beg for forgiveness until that man we thought was a server showed up.”
” So it never crossed your mind that they might be working together with that man?”
Ciara thought about it for a minute and responded,
” Well now that you mentioned it, that does make a lot of sense.”
Laim shook his head but did not say anything, he then helped her out of the bed held the drip for her and they then got out of her room.
Immediately when they opened the door leading out of her ward in to the corridor she saw her friends who came rushing to her.
” Hey sister are you alright why are you out of bed, shouldn’t you be resting by now?”
One of them asked but Ciara shook her head and said.
” What’s the use of sitting comfortably in bed when someone is dying because of me. I’m going to see Dexter.”
Stacey came closer to her and reassured her that everything was going well that side, and she shouldn’t worry.
” Thank Stacey but I still need to see him, it’s my fault that he is laying there, I need to at least apologize.”
Her friends then opened the way for her and since Stacey was the only one who knew Dexter’s ward, she showed them the way.
When they got there, she knocked on the door which was slightly open and Dexter’s mom was the one who told them to come in.
The more she walked closer and closer to him was the more tears formed in Ciara’s eyes. This was her very first time seeing him in such a pitiful state. Even when he was being attacked by the Dube brothers, he was still able to talk and move about, but since she never got to see him at the hospital as at that time she did not care what happened as she felt that she had done her part. Him being in so many pipes with the machine beeping next to him made Ciara think that he was in a far worse condition that what people are telling her.
She started apologizing to the family with her voice breaking as she was still sobbing.
” I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. That bullet was meant for me, He’s not supposed be here right now, He should be home with you and enjoying his time with his wife.”
Dexter’s wife gave Ciara a side eye, showing that she didn’t sympathize with her at all. Maybe if the situation was different, maybe if it wasn’t her whom Dexter took a bullet for and if it wasn’t her hotel room where her husband was shot in. What made matters worse was the fact that they were former lovers and at some point almost gotten married.
To her all of this was a clear indication that Dexter had some feelings for Ciara, and the fact that she was now here in the room with her husband just didn’t sit well with heart.
” I guess my husband has got a good heart, and would do just about anything to save a life.”
Her mother inlaw gave her a nudge with her elbow, telling her to watch what she was saying.
” This is not your fault at all, maybe this was his way of paying all his debts to you. He did it on his own accord, so who are we to blame you.”
Right now Ciara was leaning on to Liam for support with her head rested on his chest, her tears didn’t stop coming out as she continued to cry.
She looked up at him staring deep in to his eyes and it seemed like Liam knew what she was going to ask for, so he nodded. She then looked at Dexter’s family and asked,
” Can I have a moment with him, please.”
Chapter 148
Seeing that the wife wasn’t budging, Ciara asked again, this time directly looking at Dexter’s wife.
” Please, I won’t do anything to him, I promise.”
The woman looked at her with a pocker face, but still stepped out of the room along with her inlaws.
Liam too gave her the space she needed as he slightly squeezed her shoulders then went on to wait outside with the others.
After everyone had left, Ciara’s tears came harder than before.
“Please God help him recover, I will not be able to live with the guilt weighing down on my heart should anything happen to him. Dexter if you make it out of this , if you wake up, I promise to forgive you for everything that you have put me through. I’ll forgive you whole heartedly this time.”
This was the time that when Dexter was coming out of his coma, since the bullet didn’t touch his brain, the drugs that the doctor gave him to induce the coma were light and were bound to wear off in a couple of hours.
At first he was confused by what was happening around him, and the woman’s weeping voice. When he listened carefully he realized that the voiced belonged to Ciara.
He lifted his heavy arm and removed the oxygen pipe or mask that was covering his mouth.
” You promise?”
His ruspy hoarse voice was heard and Ciara froze in one place, she could not believe her ears. When she raised her head to look at the man who seemed weak , she saw that his eye were opened and had a shallow smile on his face.
She wiped her face which was now soaking wet from her tears.
” Dexter why would you do such a thing, why did you put your life in danger like that, huh? How was I supposed to explain to your wife and parents, how could you be so irresponsible?.”
The man closed his eyes for a few seconds, the woman’s shouting was a bit too much for his head to handle. Noticing this Ciara apologized to him
” I’m sorry, was I too loud? Should I call the doctor.”
He waved his hand,
” Not yet, you would’ve done the same thing if it was you.”
” Don’t get ahead of yourself, I wouldn’t have done that. Unlike you, I value my life more.”
Dexter smiled and continued to say,
” You can say that now only because you don’t want to admit that you have a caring persona. Remember at those slums in the downtown area, were you not the one who rescued me when the Dube brothers nearly killed me.?”
” Yeah Yeah, they should’ve beaten you even harder so that you don’t ever put yourself in danger again.”
” mhm for you I’d do anything, I owe you far too much so sacrificing my life for you is nothing. And if that was what it took to earn your wholehearted forgiveness then I’d do it again. Mhhmmm.”
He didn’t get to say everything in his mind, but closed his eyes and m****d in pain as the pain he felt in his head got stronger and hard to bare.
” What’s wrong, let me get a doctor.”
Said Ciara as she rushed outside and shouted for the doctor.
As his family heard her shouting, they all tensed up thinking that his condition had gotten worse.
” what happend, what did you do to him?”
His wife asked as she rushed inside with the doctor.
” He’s awake, I think he’s in pain.”
The doctor nodded and got everyone to leave the ward so that they could do some tests on him and also give him some medication for his headache.
As they were leaving the room, the doctor pointed out to Ciara.
” Mrs Jones, you’ll need to go back to your room and rest, to allow your body to recover.”
She nodded and walked out with her husband beside her and returned to her hospital room which was now turned in to a restaurant as the girls had bought food for everyone and had started dishing up.
Once Ciara was settled in her room and with two of his men standing guard outside the room he felt that it was now safe to leave, besides Ciara’s friends were there to keep her company so he excused himself.
” I’ll come back tomorrow when they discharge you, I need to go to the police station to deal with the case.”
” Are you not going to eat something first?”
Liam shook his head and said he was fine for now but would grab something at the station with the guys.
She nodded and thanked him for being there for her and then kissed him before he left.
They ate their meal in silence, it was still awkward between the girls, nobody wanted to talk about what happened, fearing that it might trigger Ciara as she was still recovering.
They were all still shaken and traumatized but were holding it in for the one who had it hard.
” Liam said they caught the gunmam and that Boity might be working with him, so they were both arrested at the hotel.”
Ciara broke the silence when she noticed how stiff they were around the subject, so to show that she was holding it up well, she brought it up herself.
” I knew that woman couldn’t be trusted, just look at the trauma she has caused us. What if someone really died because of her?”
” I just pray that justice doesn’t fail us this time, I want to see her behind bars for a very long time. She is no human at all, to do this to her own family It’s just infuriating.”
” yes let her rot in there.”
Just hearing the possibility of Boity being the one responsible for the gunman, riled the girls even further.
” Don’t get too mad, now that they were arrested, Liam and the guys will make sure that they serve their time and wouldn’t hurt us again. Murder is one of the worse crimes you could possibly do in our country so there’s a big possibility that she might get life.”
Hours had passed since Boity was locked in that dark cold room with nothing but a table and chairs insides. As the round clock on the wall ticked she she felt like she was about to loose her mind. The sound of the ticks sounded very loud, deep in her head which caused her to be more agitated, she held her head and moved her upper body back and forth, back and forth.
Chapter 149
While she was sitting there about to lose her mind, the door opened making a lot of noise causing her to jump up in fright.
She only relaxed when she saw a man holding a tray of food approaching her.
Without a word the man placed the tray on the table and turned to leave.
” Hey can you help me get out of here, I didn’t do anything help me please. I will die, they will surely kill me if you don’t get me out, these people are crazy.”
She begged the man while creating a story which didn’t really make sense at all.
” I’m afraid I can’t help you miss, this is a police station so you are more safe here than if I help you get out.”
He then walked out of room, pretending not to have heard all her cries while pleading for help.
” Damn prisoner, they all say they are innocent.”
He shook his head and returned to his work, leaving Boity sitting there all alone.
She tried ignoring the plate of food that was placed in front of her but she had last since ate breakfast and hadn’t had anything after that.
That coffee too looked good with the steam still coming out of that cup, she knew she’d be warm the very moment she starts sipping on it.
So she took the cup, placed it in between her lips and took her first sip. She immediately spitted it out as she tasted the horrible bitter taste of the coffee and what made it worse was the fact there was no sugar in it.
She lifted the lid that covered her food and found that it was only rice and beans. She took the plastic spoon that they had given her and ate her food which was bland and under seasoned.
” Oh no, I can not live like this. No way!”
Even though that was what she said, hunger was more dominant so she soldiered up and ate the rest of her food.
While she was battling with her food Liam in the other room was having a home cooked meal that was delivered by Maggie not long ago, they would from time to time observe her actions as they ate.
” So what did you find?”
Finnick finished chewing the food that was in his mouth then was able to answer.
” We sent the small bottle to the lab and we received the results, they identified the clear liquid as the strychnine drug. If anyone was poisoned they’d experience the side effects within 15 to 60 minutes of ingestion, that’s how we know that she didn’t get to use it on anyone.
But that doesn’t mean that she didn’t hire a that man to assassinate your wife.”
He then took out those pictures that showed Boity with a man handing him over a brown envelope. After that he took out another set of pictures and documents from an envelope ,which inside was her conversation history with someone, where she was requesting for their services, one being to murder someone a woman to be specific and the other was a poison which she’d use should that not go well. The man went on to describe the poison as a very strong poison,
“Only a small amount is needed to produce severe effects in people. Strychnine poisoning can cause extremely serious adverse health effects, and if you give her the whole bottle which is considered a high dose of strychnine may have respiratory failure which will possibly lead to death, are you sure that you want this?”
And Boity’s response was a firm yes.
One of the papers on the table was her bank transactions showing a withdrawal which amounted to the very same figure that man asked for and agreed on.
Now with all the evidence, it was now time for them to get the confirmation from the suspects themselves.
” I’d like to talk to her first before you interrogate her.”
Liam requested, but knowing the nature of his friend Finnick had to switch of the cameras when he went in.
One officer opened the door for him and closed it right after he had entered.
Liam looked around the room and was disgusted at how a person could stay in there. When his eyes landed on Boity he saw that she had fallen asleep, but he didn’t have the time to wait for her till she woke up.
He decided to wake her up his way, so he gave her a very tight slap that woke her up right at that very moment.
Immediately when the slap landed, the force exacted pushed all her weight to the chair and as a result the chair tiped and fell.
” I normally don’t touch women but you aren’t one in fact you are no human at all.”
She slowly got up, picked up the chair and sat on it again with one hand still cuffed on the table.
” What do you want?”
She asked spitting those words while rubbing the cheek that she was slapped on.
“Did I not warn you to stay away from my family? And what did you do, you disrespected me and went on to attempt to kill her? Who do you think you are?.”
” And who do you think you are, a God maybe? I’m not Ciara your wife, I don’t have to do anything you tell me.”
Now that earned her a second hard slap and she almost saw the stars.
” Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth, I see the past year wasn’t miserable enough. You didn’t learn a lesson at all.”
At the sound of that Boity immediately turned her head to look at Liam in the eye.
” Did you organize Alexandra to treat me like that?”
Seeing that he had now caught her attention Liam smiled.
” I do believe in Karma, and I do think that was your turn to taste it.”
He didn’t respond to her question nor did he hint that he was the one behind the gig that she had with different men the entire passed year.
She smiled in a very evil manner as she looked deep in to Liam’s eyes.
” Well Karma or not, I will get to your wife sooner or later, for as long as I live she will not prosper in this life.”
She felt that Liam had no say in their family life, she gets to decides what to do to her cousin and as an outsider Liam needs to just butt off.
” Why do you hate her so much, what did she ever do to you? Make me understand and maybe I will go easy on you.”
” Do I have to have a reason to hate someone? Hhehehe did you just say go easy on me? Let me tell you something Liam, I’m not scared of you, and since you don’t have any proof that I did all of that, you guys have no case against me.”
Liam looked at her, tilted his head and thought about how stupid the woman in front of him was. Why would she be in prison if they had no evidence against her.
” Well I think you should, going to prison for the rest of your life is the easiest punishment I can give you, otherwise we could take you back to the brothels in hilbrow and let your dignity be stumbled and crushed. But forget that I’ll ever give you the easy way out, you have abused my wife for far too long so now is your turn to feel what’s like to be on the receiving end.”
By the time he finished speaking the air around them had frozen and at that point Boity could feel the seriousness in his voice and that scared her.
” Wou.. Would you do that?”
” I told you before, I’d do just about anything to protect my family. You provoked me the moment you thought my family was a play ground for you.”
Chapter 150
Hilbrow was every woman’s nightmare and for Liam to say that he would take her there , that shocked her a bit.
Even so she wasn’t going to back down and apologize, she did what she did and did not regret it one bit.
She hated Ciara to the core and was never going to give her a genuine apology as she was not sorry at all that had happened.
” I know for a fact that they don’t have anything against me so I’ll take my chances. The only way you can stop is if I die and bring that b**ch down with me.”
Hearing her call his wife by that word infuriated Liam so he immediately grabbed on to her shirt and was about to punch her when Finnick entered.
” Not now man, not now.”
He shook his head as he warned him about the consequences.
” Ok Miss I’m here to take your statement, I hope that you do cooperate with us.”
“Well officer I think you’ve got the wrong person here, I’ve never done anything against the law in my life. If you don’t have anything else to say and if you are not charging me with anything please hurry up and release me”
Finnick looked at her as she was acting like an entitled rich woman.
” Unfortunately we have charged you with attempted murder and being in possession of an illegal drug. If the court finds you guilty of those charges which it will, the court may charge you a sentence between 15 to 20 years and we both know that will not be good for you.”
Boity stood up abruptly and was pulled down by the cuffs on her hand as she had forgotten that her hand wasn’t mobile.
” To hell with that, I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never touched any drugs in my life, so why will I be in possession of it now. Tell me where did you find those drugs?”
She was now performing like a professional, and one would think that she was innocent of the crimes she was being accused of.
” you and I know very well what I’m talking about here, let’s not waste each other’s time. It’s either you plead guilty or just accept that you’ll spend the rest of your life behind bars.”
” Rest of my life, why? I didn’t kill anyone nor did I attempt to. You know what, I want to talk to my lawyer.”
Finnick passed over a phone so that she could make a call to her lawyer, but what she had forgotten was that she had used almost all her money on that expensive hotel and room service and right now she could not afford her lawyer’s rate.
She then dialed a cheaper one but that one too chickened out as soon as he heard that it was a case were the Jones were involved. All he said was,
” I’m sorry ma’am but this is not a case that I can take, please find someone else who can help you.”
She threw the phone on the table and sighed in frustration.
” I’m telling you now that there is no confession that you’ll get from me, I didn’t do it.”
” Suit yourself, but do know that the man that you were working with have confessed to everything and is willing to testify against you.”
Right then the thin layer of sweat that had formed from when they told her the possible sentence was now clearly visible and panic was written all over her face.
She knew right then that she’ll be facing prison time one way or the other, but she was far too gone with her lies that she just couldn’t admit to it and was willing to try her luck in court maybe the judge will see and understand her story.
What she didn’t know and wasn’t aware of is that even if she was to get out of that interrogation room scot free, she was surely never going to be able to live comfortably in that city.
Everyone was angry and demanded justice for their favorite author.
The news of her arrest was currently being broadcasted on every news channels and blogs, and all those who have been following up with the two cousins they knew very well that the fued started a long time ago, with Boity being the one to harm Ciara all the time.
” Fine we will leave you here for tonight, think about your decision and an officer will move you to your prison cell tomorrow where you’ll stay until your court hearing on Monday.”
They then both left, leaving her alone in that cold room.
After exchanging a few words with Finnick they both returned home, one to his wife and the other to his daughter.
By the time he arrived at the Jones family residence it was already passed midnight and his daughter was already sleeping in his older room. He went in and kissed her, then watched over her till he too fell asleep on his old bed next to the baby cort.
After everyone had left the hospital after visiting hours was over, Ciara found it hard to fall back to sleep, the events of the day kept on playing in her mind over and over again everytime she tried to close her eyes.
Since she had been sleeping the entire day, she decided to just get out of her bed and walk around.
” Mrs Jones It’s passed midnight, you cannot be moving around like that, you need to rest.”
The night nurse told her as she spotted Ciara coming out of her room.
” But I’ve been sleeping the whole day I just need to walk a little, I’ll just go to the restaurant downstairs and get something to eat then come back.”
Since she wouldn’t be long and would remain within the premises of he hospital the nurse agreed.
A bodyguard followed her behind as she started walking and the second one remained behind to make sure that nobody entered her room.
She took a lift to the restaurant floor and when she got there she bought herself a full meal of pork ribs and chips, then asked the body guard to pick something for himself and his colleague who was left behind, and the man did just that.
They then went back to their floor, as they walked along the corridor she noticed that Dexter was also alone in that room so she looked down at her meal and thought it was big enough for the two of them.
” You can go back before your food gets cold, I just want to see how he is doing .”
The man shook his head as he was against the suggestion, although he was starving and would love to enjoy a warm meal at that time, his main priority was to make sure that his lady boss was safe at all time.
” That’s not possible ma’am, you can’t leave my sight at all. You can go in and I will just wait here, we can always warm up the food again.”
She was in no mood to debate with the man over something so simple, so she just nodded her heard and walked in.
” You also couldn’t sleep?”
The man’s voice came up as she walked inside and saw Dexter busy scrolling on his phone as he talked to her.
” Yeah, I guess it’s a sleepless night huh. I brought something to eat incase you are hungry”
