" Thank you Doctor. " Myra said with a soft smile.
The doctor nodded and walked away. She gave a such of relief and looked at Barbara who looked peaceful in her sleep.
When Leo was taken to the recovery room Myra followed. She walked to the bed slowly and looked down at him.
He looked calm with his eyes shut and least he didn't have his cold expression on him.
Myra smiled and bent over to look at him properly.
' So cute ! ' She thought and smiled.
" I wonder why you act so tough and cold.." She spoke while she brought her right hands to his face and touched his cheeks.
" You are very handsome when you asleep. Do you know that ? " She asked with a smile on her face and begun caressing his cheek.
" I am so sorry for today..It's all my fault. So...I will stay and take good care of you all night long. " She said and moved her hands to his hair lovingly.
She was still enjoying the moment when she heard a knock at the door.
She stood upright and went to open only to see one of her father's men.
" David.." She called him ." What are you doing here ? " She asked him.
" Mr Walker told us to take you back home. " Reported David.
" How did Dad find out I was here ? " Myra asked wondering.
" I reported to him. " Barbara stepped forward.
" Barbara, You ! " Myra cursee pointing at her with her index finger.
" You insisted on staying here. So I called your father and told him everything that happened. " Said Barbara proudly.
" Ms Myra, Please come with us ! " David and pulled her hand by force.
" Hey..Let me go ! I want to stay.." She begged but David was very committed to his work so he continued pulling her by force until he forced her to enter the car that had more three guards inside. They made Myra to sit between the two men such that she was trapped there and David found his way to the seat next the driver's.
" How can you make me leave my bodyguard in danger ? " Myra asked .
" Don't worry the nurses and Barbara will look after him.." David said while the car was started and they drove directly to Raymond's house.
When they reached Myra was sent to the living room where Raymond sat on the sofa. He was even in his night wear as he had been woken up in the middle of the night.
He got up on seeing her. " My daughter..." He spike while he went over to her and held her shoulders.
" Dad, Why did you do this ? " Myra asked pushing off his hands from her.
" What did I do wrong ? Bringing you back home after you were almost kidnapped ? " Raymond asked her seriously.
" Not like that. My bodyguard has been shot and you dragged me here.." She argued.
" I know you care about your bodyguards. But the hospital is not a safe place for you stay right now. " He answered.
" But he is my bodyguard. I couldn't just leave without knowing his condition. " Myra quarreled.
" You should start worrying more about yourself than your bodyguards ! " Raymond barked at her that she opened her eyes wide.
" Those men are after you for a reason we don't know and you were staying at the hospital for the night. Do you know how dangerous it could be there ? " He asked loudly.
" I am here and I lost my sleep when I heard you almost got kidnapped. I was worried about you to death, And so does everyone here. Haven't you realized the danger your life is in ? " The questions left her mouth dry.
" I know you care but don't be careless on yourself..Besides that, I have sent nurses to take care of Leo so don't worry about him. " Raymond said these to calm her down.
Her eyes turned red and her face went gloomy. " But Father, What did I do wrong ? Why do those people want me so bad ? " She asked looking deep into his eyes as if he knew the answer.
" I don't know either. But since they have been caught, We shall get the person behind it very soon.." He said.
" Dad, Just realised that this is so serious, How will I handle it ? " She asked and burst out into tears.
Raymond moved closer and hugged her slowly. " I am glad that now you understand the risk you are in..but all will be well. " He said.
" I wonder how many people will have to sacrifice their lives for me. At first it was Mark, He was shot on his chest and he is still on bed. It hasn't been even a week and Leo too has been shot. " She said and pulled away from the hug to look up at him.
" I am so scared. They might lose their lives. "
" That's why you shouldbe careful. And...don't think about Leo that much, I heard he was only shot on th e arm. So he will probably get well. " He said and hugged her again.
" For now listen to me and allow my bodyguards to be around you. All will be well. " Raymond said.
Myra gave a tearful smile and nodded to what Raymond had said.
They were hugging like this when Cissy came from her room and saw them.

Saturday W2
Myra woke up early at 7 sharp and the first thing she did was getting her phone. She rung Barbara who had slept at the hospital and she was still in bed when she heard her phone.
She got off and walked outside the room to pick the call.
" Myra, What's app this morning ? " Barbara asked.
" Barbara, How is Leo. Is he awake yet ? " Myra asked with much concern which put question marks on Barbara's face.
" He is still unconscious. " Barbara answered.
" God ! " Myra spoke.
" Myra, Are you still worried about him ? " Barbara asked.
" Of course I am. I didn't get a chance to stay at the hospital and watch him. Please, When he wakes up before I am back let him know that I was forced by Dad to go back home. And tell him that I am so grateful about what he did last night. " Myra said.
Barbara was taken by this and said. " Okay..i will tell him. " She said.
" Fine. Have a good day. " Myra said..
",You too. " Barbara said and ended the call.
' So my suggestion was right. It looks like Myra is really in love with Leo ! '
Barbara concluded after this conversation and noticing how worried Myra was. She knew Myra had never been worried about anyone like this before.
In the room, Leo opened his eyes and found himself in the hospital. His face had turned so pale and his lips were very dry. He felt weak and dizzy at the same time and tried remember what happened the previous day.
Yeah, He was being driven to the hospital when he passed out the previous day..after the reminder he put his hands on the bed while he pulled himself to sit.
He was like that when Barbara opened and entered the room. She smiled on seeing him awake.
" Leo, You are awake ? " She asked and sat at the edge of the bed.
" Yeah, How did I reach here ? " He asked in a very weak tone.
