As soon as Mnie got to the hospital, she rushed to Doctor Simeon’s office.


    ”Get a date for the surgery, doctor!” Mnie screamed as she entered, panting heavily.


    ”Oops!” Mnie widened her eyes as she saw some people in the office with him.


    ”I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” She bowed, embarrassed, and left the office.


    Mnie waited impatiently for Doctor Simeon outside his office. A few minutester, his visitors came out and Doctor Simeon followed almost immediately.


    ”I’ve got the money, Doctor!” Mnie screamed.


    ”Miss Mnie, it is past twelve in the morning, the patients are still sleeping, can you bring down your voice please?”


    ”I’m sorry doctor, I’m just too excited. I got the money already!” Mnie whisper-shouted, unable to control her happiness.


    ”You got everything?” Doctor Simeon asked.


    ”Yes!” Mnie grinned.


    ”But… we spoke barely two hours ago and you said you had no money…” Doctor Simeon said giving her a questioning look.


    ”Oh, that? I called a distant rtive of mine and he…”


    ”He gave you the money right away?” Doctor Simeon asked


    ”Yes.” Mnie blurted.


    ”Okay… I’ll discuss this with other surgeons and your mother will get her surgery,” Doctor Simeon said, and Mnie nodded her head.


    ”Em… Doctor. Can you not tell my mum a distant rtive gave me the money?” Mnie asked ying with the tip of her hair nervously.


    ”Huh? Why?” Doctor Simeon Queried.


    ”Actually, my mum is not on a good term with him,” Mnie said.


    ”Oh… okay. Follow me to where you will pay the money,” Doctor Simeon said.


    ”Thank you,” Mnie said and watched the Doctor leave.


    ”So nosy!” She rolled her eyes and ran after him.

    Her mother’s surgery was scheduled for the next day and Mnie was filled with so much joy.


    ”All you have to do now is hang in there,” Mnie smiled at her mother.


    Mnie’s mother only stared at her daughter and said nothing.


    ”Are you mad at me, Mother?” Mnie asked her mother.


    ”Mother, don’t be mad. Moth…” Mnie widened her eyes as her mother suddenly struggled to breathe.


    ”Mother! Doctor!!” Mnie screamed.


    Forgetting that there was a bell to press in the ward, Mnie rushed outside to call the Doctor.


    Doctor Simeon was also on his way to the ward and he met Mnie.


    ”Save my mother, Doctor! Please!” Mnie cried.


    Doctor Simeon rushed inside the ward with his nurses who had Mnie stay outside.


    A few minutester, Doctor Simeon came out with his nurses who ran past him.


    ”We need to carry out the surgery, now. Like now.” Doctor Simeon said to Mnie.


    ”She will be fine, right? Doctor, please say yes!!’ Mnie cried.


    ”Miss Mnie, We’ll do our best,” Doctor Simeon said.


    The nurses rushed past them again with a stretcher and Mnie followed them inside.


    An oxygen bag was on her mother’s nose while a nurse kept pressing it as if giving her mother air.


    ”Mother…” Mnie’s legs failed her and was about to fall when Doctor Simeon caught her in his arms.


    Mnie cried and watched as her mother was carried on the stretcher.


    Mnie made way as the nurses wheeled her mother out of the ward.


    ”We’ll start the surgery, Miss Mnie,” Doctor Simeon patted her and walked away.


    The only thing she could do now is pray that the surgery is a sess.


    *


    Mnie has been sitting in front of the ICU for almost three hours and the Doctors are noting out.


    Her life will get twisted if anything happens to her mother.


    A few minutester, the ICU light went off which indicated that the surgery was over.


    Mnie stood up and waited for the doctor toe out.


    Two doctors came out before Doctor Simeon came out.


    ”How was it, Doctor?” Mnie asked, with hope in her eyes.


    ”The surgery went well, Miss Mnie but she needs to wake up first before the surgery bes a sess,” Doctor Simeon exined.


    ”Will she be fine?” Mnie asked.


    ”Let’s hope so. You know she had emergency surgery. But don’t worry, she will be fine. She will be moved to a different ward, you can sit there quietly with her.” Doctor Simeon said and left the youngdy standing.


    ”Hmmm,” Mnie sighed deeply.


    Immediately she saw her mother being wheeled out of the ICU, Mnie followed them swiftly.

    Mnie’s head was on the bed beside her mother and her mother’s hand in hers. It has been two days since her mother’s surgery and her mother was still not out of thea.


    Mnie raised her head when she felt her mother’s hand moving in hers.


    ”Mother!” Mnie cried and hugged her mother tightly.


    ”You’re choking me, Mel,” her mother said.


    ”I’ve missed you so much, mum. I’m d you came back for me,” Mnie said and hugged her mum again.


    ”I’ll get the doctor, I’ming mum,” Mnie said walking away.


    ”Hey,” Her mother called her and pointed to the bell behind her.


    ”Oh! I’ve forgotten,” Mnieughed, and her mother joined her.


    Doctor Simeon was very d to see his patient out of thea. He grinned when he saw that her vitals were normal.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    ”Wee back, Mrs. Tatum,” Doctor Simeon said, and Mrs. Mnie smiled.


    After the doctor left, Mnie told her mother to sleep while she went home to prepare porridge for her mother.


    Mnie arrived at the hospital an hourter and fed her mother the porridge.


    ”Mnie,” Her mother called out after she finished eating.


    ”Yes, mother?”


    ”I’ve been meaning to ask you, how did you get the money for my surgery?” Mnie’s mother, Melinda asked.


    Oh, Busted!


    Shepletely forgot to cook up a lie.


    “Oh… That?” Mnie chuckled.


    Melinda knew her daughter was about toe up with a lie.


    ”Don’t you dare lie to me!” Her mother snapped.


    ”Oh, mother,” Mnie twitched her mouth.


    ”I saw a wallet on my way home and it was filled with money,” Mnie stated.


    ”Don’t tell me you stole it!” Melinda raised her brow.


    ”Stole? Oh please! I checked the details of the owner in the wallet and I called him toe to get it. He appreciated and asked why I didn’t take the money instead, but I told him I wasn’t brought up that way. He smiled and gave me a lot of dors,” Mnie smiled.


    ”Really? A man you barely know handed you thousand of dors?”


    ”Exactly. As if he knew I needed the money,” Mnie smiled.


    ”Mnie… I hope you’re telling me the truth,” Her mother worried.


    ”You worry too much, mum. Focus on recovering mother!” Mnie said to her mother.

    Standing at his balcony, he couldn’t believe a woman could do that to him.


    Didn’t she know who he was?


    Even if she didn’t know he was a thug boss, didn’t she know the position he held in the whole of Los Angeles?


    Thatdy requested for Doom herself.


    And the doom was called ‘Flynn Han’


    Flynn dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out a lighter and cigarettes.


    He was about to light it when he heard a light knock on his door.


    He cursed under his breath and left the balcony.


    The door opened and his trusted man, Devon entered.


    ”I got the CCTV footage you requested for.”


    Devon dropped the sh drive on the shelf and walked out of the room.


    Flynn grabbed the sh drive and smiled devilishly at it.


    ”You’re screawed”
