Widening her eyes in shock, her heart pound in fear. Bianca sat up quickly, pressing and holding her knees to her chest.
Sensing the frightened look on her face, Justin pulled back a bit and wanted to say something. But Bianca quickly stood up and dashed out of the room like a flash of light.
"Damnit! How cruel was I and now she's scared of me like a monster." Justin cursed himself and sat on the bedside, massaging his forehead while immersing in a deep thought.
He stood up from the bed when he finally got a brilliant idea of fixing things right.

Hospital
Nelly's cabin
Placing the report booklets on the desk. "Nelly these are the medical report. Take your time to scan it very well before bringing it to my office, okay?"
"Yes mom" she replied with her eyes not leaving the phone.
Placing her hand on her waist, Elsa scowled. "What are you busy doing?"
When Nelly did not answer, she slammed the desk. "Nelly!"
Nelly startled and slapped her forehead. "Yes Mom, were you saying something?"
"What are you busy doing?" Without waiting for her reply, she exclaimed. It's working hours and not chatting hours, so you better ask your boyfriend to excuse you for now, and get back to work."
Slightly scrunching her brows, "boyfriend? Hell no, am not chatting with Thomas–" widening her eyes when she realized she just spoke an unexpected statement. Trying to reframed her words, "umm, that was a slip of tongue, mom"
Raising her brows, "are you and Thomas dating?"
Vigorously nodding her head, "n–no–yes–oh shit I mean no" she stammered.
Crossing her hands in the front, Elsa helplessly shook her head. "Nelly, I know you're telling lies, just be candid with me, is not as if am going to kill you or something."
Lowering her head, "yes mom, Thomas and I are dating."
"For how long?"
Awkwardly scratching her neck, "for some couple of months now."
Rolling her eyes, "My dear" lifting Nelly's face up, "look at me, there's no need to be shy in speaking the truth, okay?" When Nelly nodded, she added. "Do you think, if you tell me the truth that am gonna ask you to stop dating him?" She chuckled, "no dear, I won't do that, because I want you to be happy." Pausing for a while, she added, "do you love him?"
Vigorously nodding her head, "yes mom, I do love him."
"Alright, it's fine. There's no need to be scared or worried over anything. Even if he breaks up with you, just know that I gat your back, okay?"
