Christabella's POV
I was asked to resume training immediately after graduation at Hampson inc. If it were to be other companies, the airline will be responsible for the training but because Hampson inc. had an aviation school, they send newly recruited flight attendants to train their then resume work as a flight attendant at Hampson Airline after training.
I got to meet new people in the process of the training. A number of people refused to talk to me, not that I care though but it just felt weird. I still don't understand why people felt like not talking to me. A good number of them at that. Luckily for me I got to make friends with two people in my class, Alexia and Liam. They are really good people and they've made the training fun for me so far. They would always talk back at anyone who tries to look at me some kind of way. They assured me that others were only jealous of me. Liam wouldn't stop saying am the hottest girl in the room and most times Alex would agree.
I heard my phone ring so I decided to pick the call. The call was from an unknown number so I decided to let the person speak first. Hello am I on to miss Walter? I replied yes. Am calling you from the ER at Wilson Hospital. Your mum suddenly fainted and was rushed in. Your attention is needed immediately because we need you to sign some documents for surgery if you want to save her life.
What on earth did I just hear? My mum needs surgery? Have noticed her in pain like twice when she coughs. She hasn't been eating well either. I should have paid better attention to her health.
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. It almost felt like it was clerk in smallville that was run. My eyes were filled with hot tears, I couldn't think straight I just kept running because Taxi's were not allowed inside. I heard a loud sound of a car halting. My goodness I almost got hit by a car. Before I knew it I came face to face with Christian. What on earth is wrong with you, are you trying to get yourself killed?, he shouted at me. Tears kept streaming down my eyes. I couldn't even explain myself. I was mad at myself, was mad at Christian for taking Dylla away from me. The thought of loosing my mum was really terrifying, I mean I just turned 23 few months ago. My brothers are still in school. I can't afford to loose my mum. I had a whole lot of mixed feelings so I couldn't put them into words, I just kept crying.
Christian's eyes became really soft and he just hugged me tight, caressing my hair. It was like a silent comfort. His touching was soothing, it made me feel safe. My mum, the hospital, I finally got the voice to talk. What? Christian asked, My mum is at the hospital I repeated. He just held me close to his side and led me to the back-sit of his 2021 Range Rover Sport.
He got into the other side of the back sit and signaled to his driver to move. Where are we heading to sir? The driver asked. Wilson Hospital I replied. I just sat there in complete silence hoping and praying for my mum to recover. I don't even know the nature of her sickness. Christian also made a call to cancel the rest of his appointment for the day.
I didn't bother to call my brothers because I didn't want them to be worried. They were both in the middle of their first semester exams and I didn't want to distract them, at least not until I know what happened to mum.
I got down from the car swiftly and in a hurry and I just shouted thank you as I ran into the hospital.
I got to the ER and saw my mum on Ventilator. How on earth did it get to this? I went in to see the doctor and she explained to me that my mum had appendix and it got ruptured so they needed to have it removed immediately by surgery. She also assured me that my mum would be fine. I signed the necessary documents for the surgery and my mum was taken in for surgery.
