EVENING≈ HOSPITAL>
Everyone was in the waiting room,Mrs Briggs and Mariana are both in the hospital chapel since the surgery started,they’ve been praying.
Mrs Briggs was crying so hard while praying,Mariana was also praying silently,slow tears rolling down her eyes.
The chapel door opened gently and Dior came in with Octavia
Mariana opened her eyes
“The surgery is over” Dior said and Mrs Briggs opened her eyes
“How….how…how was it?” She stammered
“The Doctor said the surgery went well” Octavia said
“Thank you lord” Mrs Briggs said in a whisper before getting up
They all ran out of the chapel,Leonard was being pushed on the stretcher back into the ward
Mrs Briggs grabbed the Doctor’s hand
“How’s my son? Please” She asked
“The surgery went well,and we hope he wakes up soon enough” The doctor replied and she sighed out
“He will,my son will wake up” she said
“Can I see him?” She asked
“Yes you can go into the ward,but silence please” The doctor said
“Thank you” Mrs Briggs said
The Doctor bowed shortly and walked away
Mariana moved closer
“He said we can go in?” She asked
“Yes we can” Mrs Briggs smiled sadly and Mariana hugged her
“It’s okay mom” She said and Mrs Briggs rub her back
“You should be resting,I was informed about your illness,you shouldn’t stress yourself….”
“No….he’s in that condition because of me..I’m not going to rest until he’s awake” Mariana said
“let’s go see him together” Mrs Briggs said and they both walked into ward together.
The life support machine was beeping and the oxygen mask was used on him also.
Mrs Briggs immediately moved closer to him and took his hand
“Son” She called in a whisper and sniffed in her tears
Mariana also touched him
‘Please wake up soon’ she said inwardly
They were there for about ten minutes already when the door opened and Ricardo came in
Mrs Briggs and Mariana turned
“They caught them” Ricardo said
“Who?” Mariana asked
“Nico’s dad and his gangs” Ricardo said and Mariana immediately got up
“The person who want Mariana dead?” Mrs Briggs asked and Ricardo nodded
“We should go to the station” Mariana said
“Yeah,we are on our way already. Wanna come along?” He asked
Mariana turned to Mrs Briggs and she nodded
“Go,I will stay here. Collins is outside too so don’t worry about me and my son,go figure things out” Mrs Briggs said
Mariana smiled and hugged her before going out with Ricardo
“Is everyone going?” Mariana asked
“Tessa and Alexa are there,so we are going too” Jeremy said and Octavia hold Mariana’s hand as they walked out of the hospital together
Collins was still in the waiting room
Jace,Octavia and Dior entered Jeremy’s car while Mariana,Delaney and Charlotte entered Ricardo’s car.
Ricardo was almost starting the car when Mrs Andrew showed up
“Mom” Mariana immediately called and opened the door,she came down of the car
“I’m coming with you” Mrs Andrew said
“But mom,you should take a rest…..”
“No,I need to see the murderer who want my daughter dead,I need to see his face” Mrs Andrew said and Mariana looked at Ricardo
“She has a car” Ricardo muttered and drove off without saying more
Mariana sighed and turned to her
“Let’s go in your car” She said and Mrs Andrew nodded
••••
Tessa turned to Nico beside her,he was looking so nervous and scared that his hands were shaking
She hold his hand and Nico faced her
“You don’t have to be nervous,trust me everything will be fine” She said
“I’m scared,I’m a murderer anyway,I don’t deserve any mercy…..”
“Don’t say that please,I know you wouldn’t have done that without any reason” she said
“You don’t even know how many people I’ve killed,you don’t know” Nico muttered,tears rolling down his eyes
Alexa sighed
“Hey Nico,stop tearing up. I love your cold face more than this” She said
THIRTY MINUTES LATER**
Everyone was present already,including Mrs Andrew and Mariana
All waiting to see Red
Seconds later,two cops dragged Red out of the cell like a criminal he is
His eyes met with Nico’s own
“Hello son” He let out his usual weird smile and Nico took his lip in
Meanwhile,Mrs Andrew couldn’t take her eyes off Red and suddenly….
“Sammy?” She called and everyone turned to her in confusion
Red also turned and his eyes met with hers
“Olivier?” He called
“What’s going on? Don’t tell me you know him mom” Mariana immediately said while everyone was quietly waiting for Mrs Andrew’s response
“It’s you….Obviously you can never change from being a criminal” Mrs Andrew said
“Do you know my dad?” Nico asked and Mrs Andrew faced him
“Your dad?” She asked and Nico nodded
Mrs Andrew immediately faced Red with wide eyes while he tried to avoid her gaze
“Don’t tell me it’s what I’m thinking” She said with an angry glare
Red kept quiet but Mrs Andrew grabbed him immediately
“Tell me!!!” She yelled
Everyone exchanged glances
“Tell me that’s not Ronald” She said
“It’s him” Red said and Mrs Andrew staggered
Mariana and Nico hold her immediately
“Mom what’s going on? Why are you having a conversation with that murderer? He almost killed me” Mariana said and Mrs Andrew turned to Nico
Tears started rolling down her eyes and she touched Nico’s face
“Ronald” she called while Nico stared at her in confusion
“My son” Mrs Andrew cried and everyone gasped
“What do you mean by your son?” Ricardo and Mariana asked at the same time
Mrs Andrew faced them with teary eyes
“Actually……I gave birth….to triplets” She said
