"Camryn is the real deal, we haven't eaten yet, everyone is hungry and she was considerate to bring this along" she said smiling broadly. Camryn had come to Lela's hospital room, so if she hadn't brought anything with her, Lela's snubbish friends would have likely ridiculed her, although the meal was meant for her roommates but now it seems like it was meant for Lela "it was better to bring food than nothing right" she thought
"Hahaha! this is the first time I've heard someone bringing food to see a patient" one of the girls laughed
"I've heard of it before but all I've seen was patients mom bringing them food, you're still a university student, aren't you" said another person
"Hey! no one saw you when you came in with this thing right?" Lela asked quickly, it was embarrassing for a classmate to bring her food
"I saw it" said someone amongst them
"Don't say that the food was not for her, even it was it would be a part of my generosity, it shouldn't be a looked down upon right?" Camryn thought to herself
"You saw it? how shameful!" Lela snorted angrily
"Why don't we take a look at what exactly she's giving us" Rosa said plainly, after saying that she grabbed the box of food from her friend and opened it
"There's no need to look, what good stuff can you possibly bring, I heard this person's name at the university, her family is very poor and she doesn't normally go to restaurants" one said
"I think I recognize her, she used to be a concierge at Blue Moon hotel outside of our university" he said
"I'm sure that food wouldn't be worth more than two dollars now, Lela needs good food, why bring this? when the nurses comes in later, she would see everyone eating from this box food, it's only worth one or two dollars" another said
"If this gets out, we will be the laughing stock at the hospital and even the university" another said. Lela's friends talked back and forth ignoring Camryn who was still standing there, a few of them had eaten together at Ham's lodge earlier, so they all knew Lela's attitude towards Camryn. Camryn was speechless, there was no need for her to stay any longer, she ignored the others and told her roommates to eat their food before it got too cold, she then turned around and left.
Lela frowned as she looked at Gwen who was carrying the box of food
"Slow down, be careful not to eat too much" Lela said causing Gwen to be a little uncomfortable but she didn't say anything in front of everyone, so she put the box of the food on the floor, at that moment the box to the room opened and someone walked in
"Lela! its all my fault, is the injury severe?" Mikel asked with concerned, his head and hands were wrapped in gawd so his injury weren't too serious
"Its nothing serious, just a bit of skin and a bit of fracture, the doctor said I could be discharged after two days of observation, what about you?" she asked as the coldness on her face vanished and she revealed a sweet smile
"how are you? you were in the coma yesterday, it's all my fault, sitting behind you, influenced you" Mikel said with concern. Seeing this Gwen, Lilly and Rosa didn't feel good, when Camryn had walked in with food Lela and her friends had ridiculed her, but when Mikel who had caused her accident came in, Lela spoke to him with warmth, she even took the blame
"Lela what's wrong? how are your injuries? oh my! look at your leg covered with gawd! what did the doctor say?" A young woman who rushed into the ward exclaimed as she rushed to Lela's bedside, she was dressed in a dark green business suit, she had short neat hair, fair skin and long thin eyebrows
"Aunty!" Lela sighed, her big eyes shinning as she held the woman's hand, the woman who had rushed in was Lela's aunt Rose. Although Rose was Lela's aunt, she was only five years older than her, they were more like sisters, so after when Rose heard the news she panicked and rushed to the hospital "the doctor said, it was not a big problem, so you don't need to worry" Lela said looking Rose in the eye, hearing Lela's word, Rose released a sigh of relieve
"So you are the one who threw Lela off the motorcycle right? you saw that it rained last night, why were you riding around in the rain? you think you were so good? you got lucky nothing serious had happened this time, if something serious had happened you would be fully responsible" she said angrily seeing Mikel's head was wrapped in gawd she guessed it must be him, her words made him look bad, he coughed and looked at the others with an akward expression
"Aunty don't say that to Mikel, he didn't do it on purpose" Lela defended and pulled Rose closer and whispered "our family issues were solved by Mikel, he has helped our family so much" Rose was slightly stunned, she looked at Mikel with a steady gaze and said
"Lela are you going to defend him?" she asked looking at Mikel, she didn't believe that Mikel could solve their family issues within one day, something her father not even she Rose could do
"Mikel's family company is not small and his family had a meal with Mr Kyle, so it was easy to use their connections to solve our problem, however it's rude of you to question him" Lela said glancing at Rose with displeasure
"Silly girl! things are not as simple as you think, what sort of status does the president of the margin union have? do you think you can make a move just by eating a couple of simple meal?" Rose was much more mature than Lela, and she had experience with the cooperate world before, she knew that it was not that simple
"Ma'am!" Mikel called Rose "the solution your family tried was not working so I asked my father to help" Mikel spoke up, he was already embarrassed enough by Rose's words so he continued "when your family was out of loose on what to do, I helped you out big time, yet you still treat me with disrespect, don't you feel embarrassed?" Mikel said angrily, he was rude that his words angered Rose
"I'm just saying that it isn't an easy task to get Mr Kyle to make a move" Rose said with a dark expression
"You still don't believe me?" Mikel asked with a dark expression and took out his phone "I will call my dad to confirm it in front of you and Lela" he said with a sly smile as he sneered and dialed his dad's number "hey dad let me ask you something, yesterday I told you to help Lela with her family's matter, didn't you go to look for Mr Kyle?" he asked casually
"Ahh! this matter, I forgot to tell you my son, I went to look for him yesterday but Mr Kyle secretary said that he couldn't see me, it's just that he was too busy with work and didn't have time to talk, so I left a message in the end" Mikel's father explained, he didn't know what was going on with Mikel, so he told the truth. Mikel's heart skipped a bit, he instantly felt a little hot, it turned out it wasn't because of his dad. Yesterday, Lela thought that her problems were solved because of Mikel Park's help and Lela had said that it was due to Michael Kyle's help so Mikel didn't have the slightest doubt in his mind, that it was because of his father's influence. Mikel looked at the others with a bit of guilt, they were all looking at him and feeling very uneasy.
"Okay! thank you dad, Lela is also very grateful to you" Mikel said nervously, with that he hung up the phone, looking at Rose, his eyes flickered slightly as he forced himself to calm down, he said "I've checked with my dad, it was him who solved this problem" Mikel lied
"Aunty look, it's like I told you earlier, it must have been because of Mikel's help, but you're still so suspicious of him" Lela complained and turned to look at Mikel "Mikel don't blame my aunt, she's... she's... she's a little too protective of me"
"Why would that be, don't worry" Mikel said as he smiled, Rose didn't still believe him and she wanted to confirm this herself, but at that moment her attention was no longer on Mikel
"Girl I came to see you in a hurry, I didn't even eat lunch, I'm starving" she said rubbing her stomach
"I'm sorry, my friends haven't eaten either, why don't I order some take outs for you, I can also have some of what you want to eat" Lela said to Rose
"Alright, we can order take outs but in really hungry now" she said, just then her eyes fell on the box of food Camryn had brought with her earlier.
