They both refused to let each other go, so Alexa stayed on the bed together as they talked about her work and other stuffs.
"Baby?" Marcella called.
"Yes mother." She answered.
"Where did you get the money for the surgery? It was a huge sum Alexa and you told us it was not Richie, it is just you and I here now, so please tell me!" Marcella pleaded.
Alexa got up from the hospital bed where she was laying down with her mother.
She saw the curiosity in her mother's eyes but she was not ready to break her mother's heart or perhaps that was how she saw it.
Like a betrayal.
Marrying for money. Though she knew it was for a good course but did not know at all how to tell her mother.
She grabbed her mother's hand and looked her in the eyes.
"My sweetheart, you are scaring me, what is it that you can not tell me my love?" Marcella asked her daughter.
"Mom on a very good day I promise to tell you how I got the money and very soon you will know. But promise me that you trust me and know I am doing all I do for us. Me, you and Jerry, promise you trust me?" Alexa pleaded.
"I trust you and I will wait for you to get ready and tell me all. I promise no judgements and I will keep an open mind and listen to you." Her mom replied.
Those words touched Alexa and she grabbed her mom and hugged her so Tight. She was blessed to have such an Amazing woman to call her mother and she will do anything for her.
Alexa poured out some tears and her mother noticed and cleaned her eyes. Soon the lovely emotional moment of a mother an daughter ended as soon as the doctor came in.
"Can I get my own hug now Alexa or are you going to give mom all the love." The doctor said smiling.
Alexa stood up and hugged the doctor.
"I am grateful sir to you for saving my mom's life," Alexa cried and said.
"Oh it is my duty young Lady, you better not very in front of mom because she will be sad OK?" the doctor said.
"No doc. these are tears of Joy. I am happy that my mom is out of danger," Alexa said as she let go of the doctor and dried her tears.
"Good. We all should be happy. Anyways I came to tell you that the report from these morning test are here and by all indications you are doing very well and very soon before you know it you will be discharged and back to your house with your children ma'am" The doctor said.
"Wow doc. this is great news. Thank you so much." Alexa and her mom thanked him.
"You are very much welcome. I will leave you two to continue enjoying yourselves and check on other patients, excuse me." doctor said.
"Sure doctor see you later," Alexa said.
She and her mother screamed calmly after he left their room, she could not wait to tell Jerry but guess her mom will do that.
"Mom you see do not worry, you are doing very well, just listen to the doctors, take your drugs, eat and drink lots of water and rest a lot OK so you can leave here soon." Alexa advised.
"I will do just that my dear. But guess what you have to do now?" Marcella said.
"What is it." Alexa asked.
"Look at the time, you have to go back to work my Darling." her mom said.
"Oh no I am almost late mom. I will call you and Jerry later OK?" Alexa said.
She kissed her mom and her mother blessed her and told her not to worry about her that she will be OK.
"Oh mom I forgot to tell you that Patricia is around. She has a party weekend she invited me and Jerry." Alexa said.
"Oh that your lovely friend, how is she?" Marcella asked.
"She is fine and when you have been discharged she will come and see you," Alexa said.
"Oh lovely. No problem dear and please say me well to your friends at work." her mom said.
"Kisses mom, I love you bye for now," Alexa said and hurriedly left her mom.
She left and went down, he driver was waiting. As soon as he sighted her, he opened the door and she entered. Soon they were off to the office again.
She instructed the driver to stop her before the building just like they did this morning and he obeyed.
But this time she really looked around and made sure no one was watching her, as soon as she was convinced she got out and headed for her office.
As soon as she got in her boss yelled out her name and handed her with more jobs again.
She started working on it when her friends came in and gave her a sausage roll and yoghurt. She was happy and ate it and was very happy.
She did not have the chance to eat at the hospital while with her mom because she was overjoyed seeing her mom.
"So is everything OK with your mom?" they asked her.
"Yes she is fine, no issue at all and she extends her greetings to both of you." Alexa said as she ate the sausage roll.
"Aww so sweet, tell her we love her and wish her quick recovery." her friends said.
"I will guys thank you and yeah of course thanks for this snack, I really needed it." Alexa said.
"You are welcome Darling and we missed you at lunch though" they replied.
She smiled and promised to be around another time.
They all went back to their desks and continued their work and faced the stress attached to their various duties head on as the day went by gradually.
