Back at Port Marino. Xavier's Central Hospital.
Several days passed and Viviana had successfully adjusted to staying in the hospital for treatment. She got along well with most of the patients in the ward although most of them liked dark humour about dying which Viviana didn't think she would ever get used to. She had to apply for online classes from her school so that she would be able to catch up with all the classes she had missed.
Viviana effortlessly adapted to the class, thanks to her remarkable intelligence. Both she and her brother Theo were part of the gifted program, reflecting their exceptional intellect. There was even a suggestion that they could skip certain high school classes and join a specialized program for gifted children which leads directly to College, but Lorenzo was against the idea as he felt he didn't want his children to miss out on the total high school experience.
After some negotiations, both parties settled on the grounds that they could just skip 2 grades since the education ministry and school insisted that they were too smart to be left with their peers and that's the reason Theo is turning 16 in his senior year in high school.
After her, ill-fated meeting with her neighbour next door as Viviana describes it to herself. She and Kyle hadn't crossed each other's paths as Viviana made sure to stay away from the rooftop. Kyle himself wasn't zealous in his treatment as he missed most treatment and Therapy sessions. He takes his drugs most time under Gloria's supervision. Viviana later discovered the reason Gloria was scolding him that day in front of his room was because he wasn't taking his treatment seriously. Kyle always makes Viviana wonder if he does not want to survive and fight for his life why was he so carefree about his health.
" Ugh, why am I even thinking about that as****e," Viviana grunted as facepalmed. Why would she waste her precious time thinking about someone who isn't concerned about his life? A sudden knock was heard at the door waking Viviana from her train of thoughts. The door creaked open and someone stepped in. It was someone Viviana was glad to see as she had been expecting the person since she was admitted to the Hospital.
The person Viviana was glad to see there was no one besides her best friend Julian who came to visit her holding a small bouquet with a gift bag in his hand. It was a bouquet of different colours of tulips and Iris since those were Viviana's favourite flowers.
" Hi Vivi how are you doing today, thought I could drop by since I was around the area." He greeted Viviana as he flashed a gorgeous smile at her showing his dimples. Viviana returned a smile to him too. " My oh my, I wasn't expecting you at all and you even brought a bouquet. That's sweet."
Viviana received the bouquet from him and sniffed it. " Aww they are fresh and beautiful and my favourites, are Tulip, and Iris. How were you able to get fresh flowers in the middle of winter." Viviana asked Juliana still staring at the flowers.
Julian was glad Viviana loved the flowers because he wanted to cheer her up and replied. " I heard of a flower shop which has a gigantic greenhouse not too far from your hospital since I decided to visit you I just took a detour there to check if they have tulips and Iris. I am glad you love them."
Viviana giggled because she knew Julian was lying about visiting her by chance. She was pretty sure that he had this visit all planned out pretty well. " Of course, I love them who wouldn't like getting a fresh bouquet in the middle of winter, they are even my favourites." Viviana's cheerful voice rang out while she had a wide smile on her face.
" You even paid attention not to include pink and white tulips since white tulips are used on sad occasions, and I am not fond of pink that's thoughtful."
Julian then handed over the gift bag to Viviana. " It has a get-well card, a teddy bear that glows when you snuggle it and my souvenir from my last trip to France hope you like them." Viviana took the bag and started going through the bag to see the contents the teddy bear was a fluffy white teddy. " Oh, it's so cute. It was adorable for you to get me a teddy. The gift card is even handwritten never knew you could write so well, did you practice calligraphy so beautifully my handwriting can never be this nice it looks like two rosters fighting."
Julian cracked up at Vivi's abstract comparison of her handwriting to roosters fighting. When she took out the last content of the out of the bag. It was a wrapped package. She was curious about what Julian had gotten her. She unwrapped it to find a paper box which she opened and couldn't believe her eyes. She was excited. Julian had gotten her a muffler autographed by her favourite violist Angelique Moore. The muffler was even a signature one Angel wears for all her public appearances.
Although she had already collected an exact muffler to this before it wasn't autographed. Viviana had never had the chance to see Angel in person to ask for an autograph. She remembered Angel had a show in Paris last December, she can't believe Julian used the opportunity to get Angel's autograph. He is indeed the best friend she can ever get.
Viviana squeaked in excitement. " I can't believe my eyes. Oh my God, you didn't have to go through so much stress I Know it is quite difficult to meet Angel as she doesn't accept private performances. I love it. Thanks a lot, Julian you are best." Viviana hugged Julian thanking him.
"Awn they are hugging that's cute." Viviana was startled by the unknown voice she broke the hug to see it was Julian's elder sisters. Maybe they came along with Julian to visit her.
" Sorry, I failed to mention my sisters also came along. They were dying to visit you." Julian said with a nervous expression because he knew his sisters had an ulterior motive to visit. After all, they both had a secret crush on Vivi's brother Theo. They were expecting to see him here, but it is as if Theo isn't in the hospital.
Viviana was confused that the girls were dying to see her when did they care so much about her as far as she could remember, this mischievous pair only loved to play pranks on her and Julian ever since they were little.? " Oh really, that's nice to hear. Thanks for taking the time to pay me a visit with your brother." Viviana welcomed the sisters with a smile.
One of the sisters replied Viviana with a brilliant smile. " It is nothing, we are glad we could visit if not we would not have experienced such a touchy moment." Both girls laughed heartily. Viviana rolled her eyes because she was already used to this pair's tactics. The girl who replied Viviana was named Artemis while the other sister standing by her side was Athena. Both girls looked the same as they were identical twins.
Viviana was always wary of this mischievous pair as they were always up to no good causing trouble with their little schemes. She wonders what made them decide to push Julian so that they could come with him.
Athena, who was holding a gift basket by her sister's side, walked forward with it." Well, we got you a little get-well gift with the help of Julian he said they are your favourite fruits, drinks, and snacks we hope you get better soon." Athena said before placing the basket on the side locker.
Julian and his sister all shared similar features and were all good-looking, although Julian was more good-looking than any of his siblings. They all had golden blond hair and gold eyes. Artemis could not hold back any more but asked about Matteo because she had not seen any sign of him which is weird because of how much he cared for his little sister, and he also hasn't been in school for some days now. No one could get in touch with him.
Matteo had so much sister complex that he even warned her and her twin once to stop playing their silly pranks on his sister and their brother Viviana's best friend. " I was hoping to see Matteo. He hasn't shown up in school for a while now since you fainted in school. Is he not around."
Viviana didn't know what to reply, as she hadn't been in contact with her brother for some days now. The twins were waiting for Viviana's answer to satisfy their curiosity. Then the door was pushed open and speaking of the devil, the person whom everyone was curious about stepped in. Matteo.
