Chapter 102: Chapter 102

Devon got a hold of some good clothes and dressed herself respectably with sun shades and went into the hospital and asked the receptionist where Bryan's wards was. She did well to shed a few years and with her handkerchief,dappled her face as though cleaning the tears from her eyes.

The receptionist had heard of the man and the misfortune that had befallen him, so she felt pity for the beautiful lady and gave her directions and Devon was very profuse in her thanks.

Sharon had received a call earlier by her servants of Devon's visit and she thanked her stars that she had taken the right measures to protect her child especially when she heard the threats the servants suffered and how they had to lie to mislead Devon.

'Let her go in search of us in Serville, the stupid girl', Sharon said and thanked them for their loyalty.

She was shocked to see a lady come into the ward just as the doctors stepped out.

She looked so different that Sharon did not recognize her at first. But that was until she spoke and then Sharon panicked.

'I have come to finish what I have started. I could have shot you first but I want you to watch me kill your darling husband, that cheating bastard. I shall kill you next and the baby in your womb will have no choice but to die along with you.You must have heard that I visited your house and found that you had run away like the coward you are. Always running away and not staying to fight', she taunted Sharon who could feel the panic disappearing and in its place anger was taking over.

'But though your servants, those good for nothing's lied about you all being in Serville and I thought how is that possible? Though you are the most incurable coward I have ever met, you could not leave your beloved husband and go off to Serville. So I decided to check at David's house where I found him babysitting his goddaughter'.

Sharon felt the anger giving way to panic again. What could this sick girl who could do and undo done to her daughter?

'If you touch my daughter, you will not recognize yourself once I am done with you because forget Bryan, no other man would want to look at you twice without being nauseous'.

'Look who is talking. She has grown brave because Bryan chose her over me due to her manipulations. Now that I have got rid of your daughter, do what you will and be fast about it because I am here on a mission'.

Sharon looked around wildly like she had also gone insane. Gabriel was no where to be found. He had gone back home that day for a change of clothes and to get her servants to cook her some home made meals. She was alone there with an unconscious Bryan. She wanted to press the bell that she had been asked to press if she needed anything urgently but Devon was fast and saw her and stopped her from doing it.

Sharon decided to do what she could. She called out to the only person who had always come to her aid.

'Bryan, are you listening? Your half sister claims she has killed your daughter and is here to kill me and out unborn child and you too. She wants to end our family so that it would seem that we never existed and our love never was. Will you allow that while you lie there lifelessly?

She is going to accomplish her mission of you do not do something. You have always been strong. Why are you weak now that everything you hold dear is about to be taken from you?'

Bryan moved his hands. Sharon was still ranting on and Devon was laughing wondering what shouting the name of a dying man could possibly do for her but she was bothered that her shouts might attract people to the ward before she could complete her mission.

'Oh please shit up. You might think that you will attract people here but they could just think that your hopeless husband had died and you are wailing mournfully for him. And by the way, what could a dying man possibly do for you? Come back from the land of the dead and fight for you?' she mocked.

By this time, Bryan had woken but could barely move his neck.

'Yes!' he said his voice weak and croaky.

Both women looked at the bed and saw his eyes open but not very focused. Sharon ran to the bed to hug him and press the bell and in a jiffy the doctors were there because she was pressing it as though her life depended on it and she didn't want to leave the room not with the insane girl in there with her husband who had come back to her.

'This is a miracle. How did this happen?'

'Doctor', Bryan said and whispered something into his ears and a sedative was immediately injected into Devon's arms as she tried to escape. She had been caught unawares. She was shocked to find Bryan open his eyes and say Yes to her mockery of his wife. She had thought that it had been a trap and that they had just been pulling her legs. She was still in shock when she felt the needle and still wanted to run off but the drug took effect immediately, immobilizing her and she fell to the ground.

'It was just as you said, a miracle', Bryan said and smiled at his wife as he slept again.

The doctors called those from the other hospital where Bryan had initially wanted to keep her and they came and took her away.

Sharon was happy but anxiety over her daughter would not let her test.

And Bryan who had gone back to sleep. She did not know what to make of it.

'Doctor, he went back to sleep, hope there would be no relapse?'

The doctor had been faced with many such questions in the past and smiled.

'He has woken but he is still weak. He will need something not solid to ingest. And enough rest. You are a lucky woman. Your faith has really worked for you and you have your husband back. Don't be scared when next he wakes, he will be very hungry, so I advise that you get a brooth ready for him'.
