Episode 6⃣
Eric left her after the discussion and she continued her rest not minding her aunt's threat to her to come back to the restaurant and continue her duties......
Aunty Bella came back to the clinic after about an hour to know why she wasn't back to the restaurant. But unfortunately for her, the doctor was there attending to Stephanie.
My name is Lucy, and I am narrating this story to you just the way my friend Stephanie narated it to me. I wrote down everything in sequence as she narrates.
Her intentions (Madam Bella) was to come and forcefully take Stephanie away from the hospital back to the restaurant without her being discharged by the hospital authority.
One day, Stephanie cried out to me in pains...
Stephanie: "O God where are you? Only if my mum was alive, there wouldn't have been any reason for me to go through all this. Mummy why???? She cried so bitterly while she narrated her story to me".
Madam Bella had to pretend she was there to see how Stephanie was doing.
Isabella: "Good day doctor".
Doctor: "Good day madam".
Isabella: "My name is Mrs Isabella, known as Bella the Iron Lady, I am your patient's aunt. I have come to see how she is faring".
Doctor: "She is recovering fast, but needs enough time to rest. Though we are still running some tests on her to know the reason she bleeds from her private part once in a while. She doesn't need to do anything hard for now, just to rest until she's fully recovered".
Isabella: "Doctor, don't you think keeping her here for too long will incur more bills to be paid, can't she be coming from the house? "
Doctor: "You said you are her aunt and I'm just seeing you for the first time in over two days she's been here".
Isabella: "My business is time consuming, I hardly have time for myself".
Doctor: "This is your sister's daughter I guess".
Isabella: "Yes doctor, my younger sister's first daughter".
Doctor: "That's okay, anyways, someone have settled her bills, I don't think there will be anymore money to be paid, the man paid extra should there be need for more. The hospital should be the one giving back some amounts to him after her treatment".
Isabella: "How come no one told me about this?"
Doctor: "You should be asking yourself that question, you should have been here from day one she was brought here, the man that brought her here payed her bills".
Isabella: "It's ok doctor, in any case you need more money, do not hesitate to let me know".
Doctor: "That's okay.
The doctor left for his office and Madam Bella and Stephanie were left alone in her ward.
Isabella: "Who paid the bills?" (Stephanie kept mute and didn't respond to her questions severally). "I ask again, who payed the bills? (yet she was mute)
"You have gone deaf and dumb right? But you will talk when you come back to the restaurant".
She got up and left angrily. Stephanie then put a call across to Eric to come so they could strategize on their plans....
