Chapter 4 - I am a strong girl

Seven years later.

"How is it uncle" asked Anna. She is in Doctor Lucas's office waiting to hear her test results from him.

Over the years, Anna comes to the hospital regularly and takes her medications as prescribed just as the deal she made with Doctor Lucas.

Seven years ago, she is able to convince him not to tell anyone about her illness, he agreed to help her and keep it a secret with the condition that she is to visit the hospital for check up and inform him if anything happens to her, which she agreed. Their relationship progressed from a doctor and patient relationship, to that of a child and uncle relationship.

Doctor Lucas likes Anna so much and he treats her as his child. He cared more about her as their relationship progressed.

"The rate of the cancer reaching advanced stage is still low" replied Doctor Lucas.

"I told you, I an a strong girl" she said.

"I think you should tell your family about it" he said in a serious tone.

"They already knew" Anna said with a chuckle. Doctor Lucas raised a brow at her, obviousl, he didn't agree with her, he knows Anna for years now to know when she is serious or joking.

"I am serious Anna" he said, trying to make her see how serious he is about the situation. "You are not a child anymore, so you should be mature enough to know the right thing to do" he said while seriously looking at her.

" You are my uncle right?" She asked, but more of a statement.

Doctor Lucas sighed as he knew what she is about to say. She will make the same excuse she had been making every time he asked her to tell her family.

."You are my uncle, so you are a family to me, since you know about it, it's the same as them" they both said at the same time.

Anna looked at him and smiled cutely, making her dimples appear beautiful as she make a puppy face.

Doctor Lucas is moved by her expression and is about to give up but stopped at the last minute. "Anna" he said and sighed. "This is serious, leukemia is not a simple disease that should be kept secret from family members, it is a dangerous and deadly disease, you will have to undergo a therapy treatment or even a transplant in few years, you will need them to make a decision".

"I am not ready to break the news for them uncle" Anna finally give in as she realized her expression isn't working for him right now. Doctor Lucas sighed and give up trying to convince her.

"I am leaving, I have an important meeting at noon, wish me luck" she said and kissed his cheek like a little girl.

"Good luck" Doctor Lucas said as she reached the door.

*****

In a club at the city, a beautiful lady is standing between some men who are groaning in pain at the parking lot.

"Weak hooligans" Kelly said and hissed at the men she beat black and blue groaning in pain. "You have the gut to approach me and try flirting with me but can't even beat a girl". She said and smirked at them in mockery.

"Hey! Don't you dare insult us, it is because we don't beat girls" one of the man said.

Kelly crouched down and squeeze his broken arm making him scream. "Really?" She asked in mockery.

"Then I will have to call a man so I could watch as you beat him up" she said and call a man in a bodyguard uniform who is standing not far away from them.

'He is well build, he must be strong enough to beat these fools' she thought and smiled mischievously.

The bodyguard just ignored her and stand in his post. Kelly became annoyed as she is been ignored. She then walked towards his direction after beating up the guys again so that they couldn't run away.

As she needed him, she saw rows of black cars and other men dressed as him standing in an arranged way. 'No wonder, he seems well trained, they must be personal guard of a prominent family' she thought.

Kelly smiled innocently seductively when she reached the man, she realized that she couldn't act bold to him.

"Sir, could you please beat those guys for me, they are trying to take advantage of me" she said in a sweet voice no one could ever reject.

"But you just beat them, or do you want to kill them" he asked amused at her statement.

"Would you please just help me" she said again getting impatient and annoyed.

"Okay" he said. 'I should help her before she beat me up, she sure has skills' he thought. He saw the way she beat up those guys all by herself, 'she must be a professional fighter' he thought silently.

Kelly promised to protect her sister after the incident seven years ago, so she asked her father to learn martial art so she could protect her sister. Anna is always the one to protect her since the day their parents got married. She always protect her from school bullies.

Kelly is always bullied at school because her mom had an affair with a married and she became the result of the deed. Kelly's mom took advantage of Anna's dad at his weak point when he found out about Anna's mom deadly disease. She is scared of losing her and broken at the same time, he drink a lot of alcohol at that time so Kelly's mom easily took advantage of him and had sex with him. Mr Brown compensate her with money as he have no idea how they ended up having sex because he was drunk.

Anna's mom find out about it later but didn't get angry, she instead made Mr Brown promise her to marry Kelly's mom when she died, as she didn't want Kelly to be an a rejected child, at that time Anna is two years old. Mr Brown married Kelly's mom few years later after Anna's min died as he promised, he fulfill her last wish.Kelly grew up to hate her parents and couldn't forgive them for what they did to Anna's mom.
