Chapter 22.
(Unthinkable T – Junction)
“I heard that the hospital rooftop is cool for relaxing. So I went there to get some fresh air” She replied.
“What the hell ??” Everyone exclaimed.
“This is too much for our heart Piper” Raiden muttered catching up his breath.
“Did you just say you went to get some fresh air” Riley’s shuttered in bewilderment?
“Piper !!!! ” Mrs Walker screamed. She felt like slapping her face.
“This is upside-down” Nurse Grace gasped.
Collins chuck a wobbly immediately.
“Did you know how worried I was? Do you know how tense everyone was? Just for us to see you now, you are even saying you are receiving fresh air on the rooftop.
“Why didn’t you write a short note on a paper and drop it on your bed if you can’t walk miles to inform your families about your whereabouts, You still have those lazy attitudes to do something. Did you know how my heart was pounding? A single tear streamed down his cheeks.
“I thought I will lose again, my heart was was was” Collins gasped, trying to catch his breath as he kept rushing his words which made everyone stare at him weirdly. Even though Nurse Grace was pinching him to control his pain and anger but he couldn’t. He stopped his words when he saw how people were staring at him.
“Were you worried about me?” Piper asked, taking steps closer at him.
Collins stared at her and nodded, using his face towel to wipe his tears.
“Is her boss in love with her” Mrs. Walker whispered in Riley’s ear?Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“I think so” Riley replied.
“Wow, but it seems he knows her somewhere ??” Mrs. Walker added curiously.
“They kissed ?” Riley murmured.
“What ?”Mrs. Walker gasped staring at Riley.
“I mean they kissed, when he was interviewing Piper” Riley replied.
“Did you saw them ?” Mrs. Walker asked.
“No I didn’t but Piper told me before this whole accident ” Riley replied.
“We should go inside” Raiden suggested. When he saw Piper won’t stop staring at Collins. Everyone turned around and head to their various rooms, including other patients that stop by to see the drama Mr. Walter was showing off.
Collins and Nurse Grace were left standing…
“You made it worst” Nurse Grace scoffed.
“I didn’t know how to control my emotions” he replied, brushing his hair with his hand.
“You gotta work on that, you need to control it no matter how tight the situation might be.” Nurse Grace grumbled locking her hands with his.
“Let’s go and say a proper Goodbye to them. I need to get home and freshen up” Nurse Grace murmured.
“You can go home yourself ” He mumbled.
“Are you pissed with me?” Grace asked.
“I’m not. You just explained that you need to freshen up” Collins answered.
“Do you have something to say to her? ” Nurse Grace asked?
“Yeah, I’m wondering why our siblings aren’t going to school” Collins mumbled
“Maybe they are not ready to go because of how hospitalized they are” Nurse Grace suggested.
“But you said Piper will be discharged today” Collins added.
“Yes, she will” Nurse Grace replied.
“Okay” He replied with a casual smile and walked closer to Piper’s room.
“What are you planning to do ?” Nurse Grace asked.
“I thought you said you wanted to freshen up” Collins holt…
“I will do that later, what are going to do since you have the statement of wealth,” Nurse Grace asked.
“I will try my possible best to give her siblings a sounding education before she recovers her memories” Collins uttered.
“This will be a lot of work Collins” Nurse Grace sighed deeply.
“A lot of work, I don’t know if they will accept my request. Because I almost lose my emotions with my anger.” Collins muttered, rubbing his face.
“I will also try my best to get them to believe you” Nurse Grace smiled.
“Stop smiling, Why did you say “I will also try my best to get to believe you” Do I look like I’m kidding perhaps I’m lying” He muttered furiously.
“Oops! Did I just make you mad right now? Like seriously” Nurse Grace scoffed.
“Don’t use those eyes to stare at me, I don’t know to apologize.” He rolled his eyes.
“You don’t how to roll your eyes before if I could remember. Advantage of having a daughter” Nurse Grace smiled again.
“Whatever, I need to be at work Grace. Let me focus on my mission in this hospital” He muttered, turning around.
“Okay, okay. Let’s stop these arguments. What if they refuse to accept your offer” Nurse Grace asked.
“I will try my best to persuade them, I will try my best. Mrs. Walker was from a wealthy family, and being the only child of her parents made her get those assets and shares.
” Before Piper’s lost her memories, she told me not to give anyone those statements of wealth. She mentioned her dad who was planning to kill her mom because of her wealth”Collins uttered, leaning on the wall.
“Come and seat here” Nurse Grace smiled, tapping on the empty seat beside her.
“I just want to know what happened that day. Because I saw how she was burnt, the necklace and wrist chain I gave her made me realize she was among.” Collins explained as tears streamed down his cheeks.
He sniffed between his words…
“Don’t remember those painful memories, I was also with you that day. And I know how painful it was, we don’t need to remember those painful memories Collins, We need to focus on the present and leave those painful pasts. We need to get Piper back, we need to get her memories back” Nurse Grace uttered, gritting her teeth.
“It wasn’t easy Grace, leaving without her by my side during my college days was something I can’t forget. I wish she can just remember me. It’s not easy for me to control my feelings around her” Collins cried.
“Billionaire Collins Reed Walter is fragile. I badly want to do a record of you” Nurse Grace smiled and wipe his tears.
“You can do one” Collins uttered using his hand to brush his hair frustratingly.
“What are you going to do at this T junction,” Nurse Grace asked, tucking her hair behind her ear.
