When her mother was done eating Charlotte took the plate and drop it on the floor before handing her mother water to drink
"When are you returning back to work?" Emily asked her daughter
"I have untill two days time before I can return to work" she sat down on a chair to talk to her mother who she knew was bored from being in the hospital for over a month now
"Charlotte I do really need to thank your boss for his help"
" I will send your thanks Mom don't worry. You need to rest and regain your strength so that you will be discharged early" she helped her mother to lay back on the bed
" I know, am already tired of being here so I will recover early so that I can go home" Emily knew that the only way her daughter will stop worrying over her was when she gets discharged
"That good Mom, there are something i need to do at home so I will come back later with your lunch" Charlotte stood up
" You don't need to buy me lunch, since my room was charged I get to eat some delicious food. The nurse here is nice just go and do what you have to" Emily did not want her to stress herself
"Alright, I will see you later mom" Charlotte waved to her mother as she walked out of the hospital room
Andrew and Peter who were standing guard outside immediately followed after her. She tried to ignore them but it was hard given that she could clearly hear their resounding footsteps behind her
"You guys don't need to follow me home I can find my way" she stopped outside the hospital building, she plans on taking a cab home
"Am sissy ma'am but we have to take you home to make sure that you are safe" Andrew told her
" I have always been safe without you guys, n need to go and do something so you don't have to come with me" she was getting frustrated. She did not want to be followed
" Am sorry ma'am we can't do that, we will loose our job"
She ignored them and moved to stop a cab but then she remembered that she had no money with her.
"How did you pay for my mother's food?" She turn to ask Andrew
He put his hand in his pocket and produced a black card which he handed to her "with this"
" What is this" she curiously turn the card in her hands
"Mr Moore asked me to give it to you to get whatever you need"
" But what would he give it to me?"
" Because you are his wife?" There was a small and amused smile on his face
Charlotte blushed "thank you"
She felt a little hot foolish. She sent them to get her mother food but at that time she did not realize that she did not give him any money
She was only able to buy the clothes she was putting on because her father for once since her step mother's appearance did something good for her.
During the reception at her wedding yesterday her handed her phone to her and it was the little money she had left that she bought the clothe from
Maybe she could use the ride home. The only thing was that she could not allow them drive her till she get to her house
She has been living peacefully there and she did not want to suddenly become the talk of the Town and have prying eyes follow her everywhere because an expensive car suddenly drop her home
It was good enough that everyone know that she was the fallen heiress, she did not want to be on the news
"Alright fine, you can take me home"
Proceeded to get into the car as Peter held the door open for her. "When I say home, I mean my own house not.ypir boss's house"
" Okay ma'am please the direction" Peter asked her as he stared the car
She gave him directions and when they were getting close to her house she looked for an isolated place and asked them to stop
"Here?" Peter asked looking at her through the rearview mirror
"Yes here, don't wait for me am not coming back home untill later" she got down and began walking in the direction of her house without waiting for their response
"Wait ma'am" Andrew try to stop her
"Let her be, just call Mr Moore and let him know" Peter stopped Andrew
" That is right" he proceeds to call Graham to give him the information
Charlotte collapsed on a couch in her room with a glass of water and her phone in her hand
Looking around her room, she was suddenly tired even if she has done nothing except talk to her mother
Her room was a sight to behold with everything in disarrayed. Her clothes were everywhere and her bed was even turned upside down
It was like this because she had received a call from the hospital that her mom her has run out of drugs. She took permission from work to go home and get the little money she has been saving for a while for the drugs
When she got home she could not remember where she kept the money. She looked everywhere but could lot find it untill she carried her bed up
She found the money wedged in between a romance novel she had been reading the night the counted the money. She was in a hurry that day so she could not arrange the house
She spent the night that day at the hospital and inky returned for a change of clothing to go back to work. She has not had the time to arrange after that day
She turn her phone in her hand to state at the screen when it rang. It was her boss at work, Mr Burton
"Hello Mr Burton"
"How are you Charlotte?"
" I am fine sir"
" In wanted to ask how your mother was, were you able to raise money for her surgery or do you need help?"
" Thank you Mr Burton but I won't be needing any help as my father has already cleared her medical expenses"
" Stop with the Mr Burton for Christ sake" his voice held a frustrated edge to it
"Sorry Walker" he has told her countless of times to call him by his name but she always forgets. To her it was strange calling her boss by his name
"You said that your father paid the bills?" He sounded surprised
It was normal for him to sound like that given the fact that he knew that her father abandoned both she and her mother
He was the one that has been by giving her salary to her in advance, she was owing him almost two years of her life not that he was complaining anyways
He also knew that her family was one of the big give in the country and they could pay her mother's medical bills without no stress but they did not
"Yes I called him when my mother collapsed, I told him that she was about to die"
