Chapter 24
* Tyler’s Pov *
I walked in, into the mansion and was a bit surprised to see the maids in distress. What was going on?
* Do you think she was poisoned? I saw stains of blood on her mouth *
* I pray it isn’t so, else we might all lose our jobs * I overheard the maids saying among themselves. I walked over to them, confusion written all over my face.
” What happened? ” I asked with a raised brow. ” It’s Miss Marvy. She was found on the floor with blood stains on her mouth, where she had passed out “. The maids explained and I suddenly felt my head flew off.
” What… What are you saying? ” I stuttered, hoping it was all a joke. ” Sire rushed her to the hospital some minutes ago.. ” She muttered and without waiting for her to finish, I rushed out of the mansion. I wasn’t sure of what I was doing at that moment but I was conscious of where I was headed to as I suddenly got into my car and after reviving the engine, I zoomed out of the company.
** Hospital **
I dashed towards the ward Marvy was said to be as directed by a nurse I had met in the reception. I got there and truly I met dad pacing to and fro by the ward door.
” Dad, what happened to Marvy? ” I rushed as I dashed to where dad was raiding at a spot. He stopped on seeing me at first but then continued pacing by the door, not without eyeing me.
I scoffed inwardly before standing by the transparent glass and I could see a clear view of the ward Marvy was. Some doctors were attending to her – I heaved a heavy sigh even without knowing, seeing the state she was, was so saddening.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Her eyes were shut and her face was becoming a bit wriggled, that alone was enough to scare me the more.
Is she okay? Did she try to commit suicide by taking poison? Did she do that ’cause of the words I had said to her? I was beginning to feel guilty after all.
I really hope she’s fine. I glanced at dad and the worried look on my face was nothing compared to his, he was looking more worried and scared than I was. Of course, he should be, she was placed under his care and custody. He would definitely be held responsible if a thing happens to Marvy or is there something else to this?
I eyed him suspiciously tho he wasn’t facing me, his attention was centered on Marvy as he watched the doctors attend to her through the transparent glass.
* Some Minutes Later *
The few doctors who were in with Marvy came out almost in a troop, only one walked over to us and I recognized him as our family doctor, Mr Cyrus. ” How’s she Mr Cyrus? ” Dad asked as Mr Cyrus walked over to us. I was standing right next to dad by now.
” She’s fine now, she would be awake in some hours from now ” He said with a smile on his lips. Dad heaved a sigh of relief. ” What really happened to her? ” Dad asked Mr Cyrus as we three made our way into Marvy’s ward. ” She had overstressed her mental health. She needs enough rest and definitely needs to stop overthinking things, but she’s fine now. Ensure that she gets enough sleep and rest ”
” Her mental health could be easily stressed cause of her condition and how young she still us, so please ensure that she’s fine always ” Mr Cyrus advised and dad nodded, listening attentively. But I actually felt they were speaking in codes as I couldn’t understand some things he had just said.
” You can stay with her till she’s fully awake and she could be discharged by then ” He added and dad nodded again while I bowed slightly as he walked out of the ward after acknowledging my greeting with a nod and a light smile.
Dad sat down on a seat near Marvy’s bed while I stood by the other side, my back resting by the drawer stationed there. There was a brief silence between I and dad before he broke it. ” Where were you when she passed out? ” Dad eyed me almost angrily or let’s say it’s just me misinterpreting his glare on me.
” Dad I was out.. “. ” Out where? ” He cut me off with a snap.
” With my friends… ” I was about stopping but dad’s intense glare on me made me spit out the words forcefully. ” At a club house ” I completed and I could see his face twitch to an angry one as he folded his palm onto a fold, gritting his teeth. ” You were at a club house while she was dying!? ” Dad asked angrily, obviously trying to place the blames on me.
” Dad, you know well clearly that it’s not my fault! Why pushing the blames on me? ” I asked almost angrily. ” Excuse me? I placed her on your watch but you failed, she almost died as a result of your carelessness! ” Dad snapped and I let out an angry scoff.
” What was I supposed to do? Tag her along with me everywhere? ” I snapped back at him. ” Yes! That’s clearly what you were asked to so. She’s your wife and she’s here just for you! You ought to stay with her every fvcking time! ” Dad blurted out, even without knowing that he had spilled the truth. I scoffed unbelievably,
” So it’s true. Her main purpose of being here was originally to get engaged to me, and she’s actually not my cousin as you two claimed!! ” I asked and dad looked away after he finally processed all that had just happened.
I looked at a corner of his eyes and I saw guilt flashed across his face. ” Yeah, I’m right anyways ” I muttered and with that walked out of the ward in frustration. I’m glad she’s fine anyways.
