“Mum what are you doing here?” Romeo asked.

“Romeo, I thought you are in school, what are you doing here?” Mrs. Emery asked.

“Well my friend has an accident, so I came here to see her, so tell me what you are also doing here?” Romeo asked.

“Cindy has an upset stomach, so I brought her to the hospital” Mrs. Emery replied.

“How come, how is she now, hope is not something that serious?” Romeo asked.

“The doctor is attending to her, I can’t tell if it’s serious or not for now, not until the doctors tell us what is wrong with her” Mrs. Emery said.

“Okay mum, just calm down, she I will be okay” Romeo said.

“Of course my son, am very sure she will be alright” Mrs. Emery said.

Owen stood behind Romeo.

“Come here Owen” Mrs. Emery said.

“The doctor is here” Owen said to so as to avoid the question

. “How’s she doctor, hope is not something serious?” Mrs. Emery asked.

“Is not something serious, is just food allergy” the doctor said.

“Food allergy, did she eat something made with ginger? Because that’s the only allergy she has, which she inherited from me” Mrs. Emery said.

“I thing so, she was eating a snack. And if I could check it was Romeo favorite snacks” Alexa said.

“You mean ginger pasta, how could he be so stupid, why we she ate such thing when she knew she has allergic to ginger” Romeo said angrily due to Cindy ignorant.

“Can we go and see her now?” Mrs. Emery asked.

“Yes, she okay, you can go and see her” the doctor replied. “Thanks doctor” Mrs. Emery said.

They went inside to see Cindy.

“How are you feeling now?” Romeo asked.

“I am doing fine as you can see. I thought you are in school, so how come you know am in the hospital” Cindy try to change what she said, when she see her mum emotions change immediately she asked Romeo what he was doing there.

“Is it bad, If am here to check on my sister?” Romeo asked.

“Not bad at all “Cindy said with a fake smile.

“So tell me why you ate ginger pasta when you knew you are allergic to it” Mrs. Emery asked.

“Nothing mum I just felt like eating it. I never no is gonna affect me like this” Cindy replied.

“Why are you talking like an ignorance, you knew it is not good for your health and you still went ahead to eat it” Mrs. Emery said angrily.

“Am sorry mum, I just wanted to see how it taste” Cindy said with a sad face.

“I promised, if you behave so stupid again I will hit you” Mrs. Emery said.

“I know she will scold me, she has always been like that, scolding me in front of this foolish boy. If he was the one, she will pet him instead, I will make sure I separate you from him and you will hate him forever” Cindy thought wickedly.

“Mum, forgive her she has already apologize” Romeo pleaded on her behave.

“I have already forgiven her, but I just need to let her know, so she won’t do anything of such again, if you are also the who did the same thing I will also scold you, but I know you can’t do such silly thing” Mrs. emery said. Cindy fumes.

“No mum, no one Is above mistake, I might ever made the greatest mistake you thing I can never make, so don’t praise me in this kind of thing, am not perfect, we are all human, and we are bond to make mistake” Romeo said to his mum.

“Yes. I guess Romeo is right, no one is above mistake” Owen said.

“Okay my son, thanks for the lecture” Mrs. Emery said with a smile and was about to peck Romeo on his cheek.

Romeo took his head backward. Mrs. Emery look shocked.

“Mum, kiss her, she is the one that is not feeling fine not me” Romeo said with a smile.

“Romeo darling thanks so much, I appreciate this, you are making my plan easier, I will have mum and dad back on my side very soon and I will turn them against you “Cindy thought to herself and a smile escape her lips.

“You can see she is blushing” Romeo said with a smile.

“I can see that” Mrs. Emery said.

“Romeo I think, I should go and check on Vicky, so they won’t think we are gone “Owen said.

“That’s such a good idea, you should go I will join you soon” Romeo said.

“Let go together, I want to see how your friend is doing. Alexa will stay here with Cindy. I will go to the doctor for her discharge after seeing your friend” Mrs. Emery said.

“Okay mum, Cindy I will come back to see you before you leave” Romeo said and smile.

“Romeo do you know that I admire you a lot, If not that I am older than you, I will have pray to almighty God to make me your future wife” Alexa said smiling.

“So you have your eyes on my little boy, don’t ever try it” Mrs. Emery said smiling.

“Alexa I accept you with an open arm, or should I just say with my full chest “Romeo said jokingly.

“I will be the best man” Owen said and everyone burst out laughing except from Cindy, who fumes.

They left leaving Cindy and Alexa alone in the ward.

“I know you are the only one, who saw me when I was eating the ginger pasta, so tell me why do you tell her?” Cindy asked Alexa with a deadly glare.

“Yes, I told her when the doctor said” Alexa try to explained but Cindy cut her short.

“How dare you, who give you that gut, you should know by now that you are dead” Cindy said biting her teeth together.

“Am not scared of your threat young girl, you are too devilish for my liking, why can’t you try to be like you parent and brother” Alexa said with an eye roll.
