When he hand the fruit to her

Thanks, that is so thoughtful of you. Gregory also walked in with fruits, Cathy look at the fruits pack in Gregory's hand.

Thanks but Sorry, I really don't eat most of those fruit.

Gregory look at the pack of Brian it was full with Whitney and Cathy's favorite, he thought the girls will like fruit like watermelon, orange or banana but their taste is different, they prefer strawberry, garden eggs, grape, Brian has beat him to it because of Grace.

When they sit Whitney keep looking at Brian, he is handsome.

Do you live in Nigeria? Whitney asked from the blue.

No, I live in UK, I manage one of Mega Multi aviation empire Intl branch.

Whoa! That is why you look different.

Gregory just sit like stranger, Whitney is annoying him with her flirting with Brian.

Thanks, can I have your number? Sure, where is your phone?

As she type the number on his, Gregory heart burn but what can he do, cathy notice it.

Whitney, you are giving him your number? Did I give you permission? Cathy was jokingly saying it but she is not happy with Whitney's act

Cathy, can you stop acting like Whitney is your child? Stop controlling the girl.

Grace word anger her

Sorry, I didn't mean to control you. Is not like that, here have some water.

Leave me alone, I don't want to control you again. Cathy pushed the water from her mouth, Grace is mad at Cathy, Brian see the situation.

I am sorry ma, let me delete it and asked your permission before getting it.

Don't be silly, you don't have to delete it. Brian smile, he just wants to appease this girl.

Thanks ma, I will go on now, Grace are you leaving with me or staying?

I will leave with you, Cathy take care of yourself, I will call when I get home.

Sure, you be careful too.

When the two left, Whitney hugged Cathy.

With the way you are hugging me, I wonder how you felt when I was in coma?

You don't say, I was downcast but do you know that Tony is in worse condition more than I?

Cathy look at her in confusion.

Yes, he barely left your side when you are in comatose?

Gregory countenance change.

No, I thought...

Yes, those times, that you are in comatose, he is worn out, that boy really care about you, you need to see him when I came here, he didn't change clothes, he barely eat.

Ahem! Gregory clear his throat but Whitney is bend on annoying Gregory.

Do you say he stay here all through? Her questions make Gregory worry, he doesn't want her to have little soft spot for Tony.

Yes, he didn't eat, he was holding your hand all through, Tony is a nice boy, don't you like him?

Whitney!

Gregory call in anger, she ignores him. Cathy, you know him more than me, don't you want him to be your boyfriend? Is like he love you too.

Whitney, you are testing me right? Gregory grabbed her hand.

You two stop it, why are you fighting?

She coughed bitterly. Cathy, are you fine? Gregory asked, seeing the way she was struggling.

Let her be, stop acting like you care. She keeps coughing.

Go get water, Whitney hurry. As Whitney run to get water, Cathy cough out blood, when she see Whitney, she wipe it, Gregory eyes open wide.

Will you step aside? Whitney pushed Gregory away.

Stop staring at me. She get the water from Whitney, Gregory gulped his saliva.

Don't look at her, like you care.

Whitney, you should know I care. Oh please, you care in deed. Whitney roll her eyes.

Can you two stop arguing? Cathy coughed again, she is having difficulty in breathing.

Cathy, are you alright?

I will be fine, if you two stop your tantrum and where is your cousin? She is getting frustrated, she had hope to see him when Gregory walked in but he didn't show up.

He went on a business meeting.

Liar, since when do Craig go to places without you? Whitney attack him, Gregory run his hand on his neck.

It's fine, is not like he mean anything to me, he is not my boyfriend and I don't even love him.

Gregory's heart bleed, he wanted to tell her everything that happened to Craig because of her, to help his cousin do what he can't do.

It's okay, what did the doctor say? When am I leaving here?

The doctor, said you should wait for more checks up, to see if we are fit to go.

God! This will cause us more money, how can we pay for it? This place is really expensive

Don't worry about the bills.

Gregory, you should leave now, don't worry about us, we will look for ways to pay our debts, we are not your charity, so back off. Whitney is mad at him, he sighed badly.

Did you give the recorder to Leonard? No, they have to return it for your safety.

What? How are you going to get in?

Cathy, don't stress yourself, I will get a new one.

I just hope, I still have mine, I just hate it.

Cathy, don't worry, you should get better first.

Gregory, this not your business, so stay off it. Whitney thunder over him

You, what did you do to Whitney? He hasn't replied before her phone ring.

Whitney take your call, it's disturbing me and please forgive Gregory, I don't know, what he did to you, but I will be at peace if I know he is there for you.

I got in, it is Leonard's chamber, he accepted me, maybe he felt sorry for me that is the reason he texted..

That is good news, can you help me hugged Gregory.

Cathy, what for?

You should forgive him for my sake and be careful when you are out there, don't leave his side.

Cathy!

Please!

Fine!

She hugged Gregory and pushed him.

That is enough, get lost.

I think, I should go, she doesn't want me here.

Alright! She struggles to talk, she held her chest in pain, Gregory notice it, he felt sad but Cathy is hiding it from Whitney, she doesn't want her to panic

Whitney, why are you mad at him?

I should ask you why do you want me to forgive him?

He is my friend.

You should be careful of the kind of people you call friend. Yes ma.

Gregory didn't go home, Ian drive him to Craig mansion, he hit Craig who is sleeping on the couch.

What is it boss? You said I don't rest now, you are disturbing me.

Come Craig, it's seems Cathy had developed an incurable disease.

Stop joking around boss.

I am not joking, this afternoon, when I and Whitney was arguing, she get stressed, then she coughed blood, she had difficulty when she was breathing.
