Chapter 59: Chapter 59

The footsteps of someone walking in a hurry were evident as the unknown person entered David's office to see him drinking and smoking. He was celebrating.

"What's the situation? He asked standing up from the chair with his hands on the armrest.

" Kate is unconscious. She lost the baby. Dante Lorenzo is dead. This isn't what I wanted. David, did you lie to me? Are you sure she's whom you're after? The lady who turned out to be Naomi spoke with precision.

" But I didn't put her there. Alvin did and Dante's death was probably for the best. Here. Let's celebrate" he smiled filling her with a glass of wine.

" I don't want to drink while she's lying on the hospital bed. I might want her husband but she's my friend and I don't wish her death" David laughed at her definition of friendship sipping his drink.

" Hilarious. She isn't dead just unconscious. Alvin will take care of her. " He coerced handing her the glass cup which she took skeptically.

" Isn't he supposed to divorce her? Why is he finding it difficult to leave her?" She complained.

" Give it some time, he'll come to his senses" he raised his glass up muttering cheers while Naomi sneered looking elsewhere.

The whooshing of the wind had Kate stirring on the hospital bed speaking incoherently which had the attending nurse sprinting out to get the doctor.

The scene of the accident envisaged in her mind: Dante's frustration, the moving car. She opened her eyes with the realization that they had an accident which had her touching her stomach then panicked looking around for him.

A doctor and three nurses entered the ward to check on her, the first thing she said was" where's my baby? The doctors gave her an apologetic look then proceeded to examine her.

" Where's my baby? What happened to him? Oh no. How did that happen? Where's Alvin? Hey, I'm talking to you" she snapped stirring restlessly.

" Miss, you are lucky to be alive. One can always have another child. I suggest you pull yourself together. " Someone spoke as Kate looked at the person realizing it to be Cynthia. She gave her a resounding slap stunning everyone in the room.

" Oh no you didn't just do that" Cynthia snapped dashing towards but a nurse stopped her.

" Miss, you're on your own. Your husband wants nothing to do with you. You've been unconscious for four days now. You had an operation but we couldn't save your baby. We're so sorry" the matron spoke with concern.

The pale color of her skin turned livid instantly as she was giving a shot of hydrocortisone in other to stop the stimulation.

" What did you just say? Where's Alvin? I'm going to kill him. I'll kill him" she sputtered like a deranged woman taking the cannula off.

" Your boyfriend died too. You're miserable Kate Patterson. Marriage has failed you. It has destroyed you yet you wouldn't leave. Well, he's making that decision for a change. You don't know what's coming for you " she spoke with distaste, hate, and annoyance.

" Dante died? Simon died? It can't be. He promised to help me. Alvin did this. That bastard killed my baby and Dante. He's a devil" she sobbed softly clutching her stomach.

" Your wound is healing. You've to stay strong. This isn't the end of the world. You've your own life ahead of you. There are other kids on the way. " The matron comforted holding her hands.

" You're right perhaps I'll be fine but I know I won't. Dante died because of me. My baby is dead because I ran away. I'm a terrible mother. I killed them. I'm a jinx. What have I done? Nothing works out for me. Where's that bastard Alvin Reagan? That liar. I'm going to kill him " she screamed. Anyone could hear her from miles away.

" See, she has gone crazy. Take her to the psychiatrist" Cynthia taunts as Kate threw an instrument at her which she wasn't lucky enough to escape as it hit her on the head leaving a cut.

" Doc, please excuse us. She's traumatized by the loss of her friend and baby. You're giving her arise. Act professional" the matron spoke with disdain in support of Kate's actions which had Cynthia storming out of the room to have it dressed.

" Can I see his body? Don't tell me Alvin buried him already" she said calmly looking at the hospital screen protector by the wall.

" I'm afraid so. I'll process your discharge papers. Calm down. Don't let his sacrifice be in vain. I'm sure he wanted you to live that's why he preferred dying. Don't disappoint him" the matron continued to counsel her till she dozed off with tears still flowing from her eyes. The matron didn't understand the whole thing but she didn't see her dead baby either.

The discharged procedures were carried out in Alvin's name. She was about to request her belongings when some policemen entered the hall, look up at her precisely.

" Kate Patterson? The cop asked as if confirming it. " You're under arrest for the murder of Dante Lorenzo. You have the right to remain silent for anything you say would be used again you in the court of law. You have the right to own an attorney if you can afford one otherwise the government will provide one for you." He finished bringing a handcuff to cuff her but the matron stepped in.

" She had a Cesarean section. Please don't hurt her she'll follow you " they agreed. Kate didn't want to know who requested her arrest as the evidence was clear it was Carla Lorenzo. She followed them deeming herself fit for it. She had nothing to fight for nor Dante to help her.

She caught a glimpse of Cynthia smiling slyly then sneered. Alvin hurt her, it was his doing. Everything that happened to her was on him.

She was locked up with orders not to receive visitors or post bail. She had lost everything just because she loved the wrong man perhaps because of a silly mistake.
