LOVE & REVENGE - CHAPTER 2
The ambulance arrived few minutes later at the highway where Fiona and Hailey encountered the accident. They brought out the stretchers and placed the unconscious ladies on them wheeling them back into the ambulance and started the short drive to the city hospital.
They were immediately taken to the emergency room when they arrived at the hospital and the doctors started treatment on them immediately.
Few minutes later, the doctor came out of the emergency room and instructed the nurses to transfer them to a ward where they will continue their treatment.
He approached one the civilians who brought the ladies to the hospital and asked if they can contact any family member to come for them.
The young man brought out Hailey’s phone which has been ringing non-stop and decided to answer the call.
As expected, it was a call from home. He received it and gave the caller directions to the hospital before handing the phones over to the doctor and walked away.

Mrs Florence sat comfortably in the living room watching a T.V presentation when a maid ran in with her phone.
“Ma your phone” Martha said handing her the phone
📞Oh! Young woman, now you remember to call your mother”
📞Sorry, the owner of this phone got into an accident and is currently at the city hospital.
📞What!! What happened to my baby?
Florence sprang up from her seat ending the call immediately.
Martha! Martha! Get me my car keys!! Fiona hang in there I will soon be with you”
Martha brought the keys and she dashed out of the house like a mad woman calling on the security to open the gate as she ran to her car.
Without wasting time she sped off as if being chased by an evil spirit.

The door to Alexander’s office opened and his secretary came in with a big smile on her lips.
“Good morning sir” she greeted with a slight bow and Alexander simply nodded with a straight face.
“What are my schedules for today?
“You have a meeting with the board in two hours. You will be meeting with your friend by 2pm. You will have lunch with Miss Sandra by 12pm”
“Cancel that”
“Sir?
“You are not deaf, are you?
“No sir. Lastly, you will pick up your sister from school today by 5pm”
“That little witch” he muttered under his breath.
“Sir, were you talking to me?

He had always been a cheerful person but he changed the moment his girlfriend left him unannounced and he hasn’t heard from her since 3 weeks ago.
.
‘I just hope you are fine wherever you are. Please let’s meet again sooner’ he thought and checked his time.
“When is Nathan coming back i’m missing him already”
The door opened forcefully and Sandra barged in with Susan trailing behind.
“Sir, I tried to stop her but she wouldn’t listen”
“Its okay Susan, you can go”
“Alex, how dare you stand me up for three times now and you even don’t want me to come to your office. Really?
“Sandra please i’m not in the mood for your ranting this morning”
“Oh! Now I’m ranting. Alex, I am your girlfriend_
“Hold it right there. You gave yourself that title and we both know it” Alexander cut her off
“So I gave myself the title and you have been sleeping with me as what? You think i’m a prostitute?
“You said it yourself. You know what, let me not see your disgusting face again” he said and threw one of his cards at her.
“see yourself out or I call the security to do that” he said and closed his eyes.
Sandra picked up the card and stormed out of the office with a smile.

Elizabeth and Jayden rushed into the hospital as if being chased by wild animals.
“Please where is my daughter”
“Please where is my sister” both mother and son asked at the same time and the nurse pointed towards the ward where Hailey was and they rushed over there immediately to see Hailey already sitting and operating her phone. Her wounds are not that serious. She only fainted as a result of shock.
“Baby, how are you feeling?
“I’m fine mom”
“I thought you were dead” Jay said with a shrug
“I know you want me dead but sorry to burst your bubbles kid, I am not dying soon. Get that into your head” Hailey said and pushed his head slightly
“Stop calling me a kid, i’m a young adult” he said with a cute pout.
“Anyways, whose car where you driving?
“Oh! A friend’s car”
“A friend? Both mother and son asked at the same time
“What’s with the look of surprise? Am I not allowed to have a friend?
“Mom its Sunday in two days time right? Jay asked
“Yes. Why?
“We are going for thanksgiving. Hailey finally have a friend. Is God not wonderful? Jay said with a smile and Hailey made to slap him but he moved away.
“I can’t risk getting slapped on my cute face please. You want my future girlfriend to reject me. Never. I’m out” here said and walked out of the ward.
“Mom please let’s go check up on my friend. Her injury will be worse than mine”
Elizabeth held her hand and together they headed to Fiona’s ward.

Emily sprang up immediately she got a text on her phone and her eyes widened.
But when she remembered something, she sat down dejectedly and a single tear dropped from her eyes.
‘Haven’t you done enough?
She immediately called Alex and told him to come to the mansion immediately and he arrived in a few minutes.

🏘CITY HOSPITAL🏘SAN FRANSISCO
FIONA opened her eyes and saw her mom staring at her with a disappointed look on her face.
“Mo..m, y..you are.. here” she stuttered and held her head in pains.
“When were you going to tell me about the baby? You are 3 weeks gone already. Anyways let’s talk about that when we get home. Right now, you need to get well” Florence said and flashed her a smile.
“I’m sorry mum” Fiona said in a weak voice and just then the door opened and Hailey stepped in with her mom and brother.
“Good day ma’am” Hailey greeted politely but Florence was staring at Elizabeth as if she has seen her somewhere.
“You look familiar” Florence said to Elizabeth who let out a smile.
“People look alike. I’m Elizabeth Moore. Nice to meet you” she said stretching her hand to Florence who took it slowly.
“I was so excited when my daughter told me she now has a friend. How are you doing my dear? She asked Fiona who nodded her head indicating that she is fine.
“You are the one that saved me right? Fiona turned to Hailey who nodded with a smile and stretched forth her hand
I’m Hailey” she said with a smile and Fiona took her hand
“Fiona” she said simply and turned to her mom
“where is my phone?
“Here” Florence handed her the phone and her eyes widened when she saw a text message from her boyfriend.
“I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PREGNANCY. LET’S NOT CROSS PATH IN THE FUTURE. REMAIN WHERE YOU ARE. BECAUSE IF I FIND YOU, I WILL MAKE YOU CRY BLOOD THE WAY YOU BROKE MY HEART. DON’TYOU EVER CONTACT ME AGAIN”
She looked at her mother in tears and showed her the message.
“I told you earlier that this boy is of no good. I actually texted him about your pregnancy the moment the doctor told me about it. I warned you to stay away from him but you didn’t listen. See your life now. But its fine, i’m here for you”
“Mom, i’m sorry. I should have listened to you. I thought he loved me the way I loved him. I’m sorry” she sniffed hugging her mom who kept patting her back.
Elizabeth and her kids left after Hailey exchanged contacts with Fiona and they promised to meet often.
