I was out with Mandy, when I saw Arias message, I was shocked and didn't believe it, I decided to call Aria and she confirmed it's true, my blood was boiling with anger when I kept the phone.
"What happened" Mandy asked. " Selena, ruby's daughter is in the hospital, she underwent an operation due to head injury" I answered.
Mandy's eyes opened wide and her pupils enlarged, " what, how can this happen, hurry up, we have to go to the hospital immediately, such a small child, I might have never seen her but I heard a lot about her from you, I also need to apologize to ruby for all those years, so hurry up please let's go" Mandy said and dashed for the car.
Mandy is truly a changed person now, before she could laugh at a sick person or an old lady and even be mean to them, but now she is rushing to visit a sick child she had never met.
I walked towards the car and we soon drove off. My mind was torn, I was so very worried about Selena, if I could be any creature now for just 10 mins I would choose to a be a bird so that I could fly to her quickly.
I have started hanging out with Mandy this days, we are mostly usually at her charity foundation, hospitals, or even going out to feed homeless people. It's so nice and refreshing to be with her and I could see how a step back could totally transform someone, sometimes I feel like it's rather a twin sister of Mandy who was kinder because her transformation is shocking.
We drove silently to the hospital, and in less than 30 mins we reached the hospital. I rushed to the front desk and asked for Selenas room.
" Hello, Selena Thayer, which room is she please" I asked the receptionist, my breath hitching.
" Right corner on the second floor, room 2201" the receptionist said after looking through her computer.
I took a deep breath and rushed upstairs with Mandy trailing behind me, as soon as I reached there, I saw the Dontons and Aria seating outside the room.
" Aria, how is Selena now" I asked as I moved closer to where she stood. As soon as she saw me she hugged me tightly, sobbing. A patted her head comforting her, " don't worry, take a deep breath and calm down, she will be alright" I said stroking her head.
To the world and whoever it might be, a woman can be fierce, rock solid and unshakable, but once it has to do with her child in any way she breaks down.
" Who are you" George donton asked, I ignored him, I didn't give a two cent about him, infact I feel like beating him to a pulp.
" I asked who are you, what are you doing here and why are you hugging Aria. Oh, I remember you, aren't you the same person who came to my house the other day along with Aria, what are you doing here exactly, aren't you just a bodyguard" he kept on rumbling.
" Shut your mouth up if you still want it intact, otherwise I can help with it" I said glaring daggers at him.
" Hey, who are you showing attitude, I will teach you a lesson right here right now" he retaliated with arrogance.
Aria having calmed down, turned towards him with an angry look. " Didn't you hear it the first time or do you want it written before you understand, keep shut ok, aren't you ashamed arguing with someone outside the hospital room of a sick child" she reprimanded.
She still isn't acknowledging him as Selena's father. Turning her attention back at me and for the first time noticing Mandy's presence Arias expression turned into that of shock.
" Mandy Anderson, what is she doing here with you Thomas" Aria asked shocked.
" It's a long story, let's save it for another time, but for now, just know that many is a truly changed person, believe me, now tell me, how is selenas health" I said changing the topic.
Aria gave Mandy one last long and questionable look, before turning back to me, her condition is stable for now and there are no issues, but we have to wait for her to gain conciousness before been sure of anything" she answered me, and the last part her voice broke.
" But how did this happen" I asked the question that bothered me.
" They say it's an accident, but I don't think so, I feel someone is responsible for her condition but am not sure who. I also saw red marks on her arm which could possibly be due to someone hitting her" Aria explained, my blood boiled. Who the hell have the gut to beat Selena, since she was born, no one had ever raised their hands to her talk more of beating her, and now she is in this condition likely because someone caused it, God save whoever it is.
" And who is responsible for her condition" I asked Aria. " Seriously I don't know, the servants claimed to have seen nothing, there are no cameras in the house, so I guess the only person who could actually tell us what truly happened is Selena once she recovers" Aria said rubbing her palm on her arm.
" Okay, I am sure she would be okay, but am also sure of one thing, whoever was responsible for her condition right now, will pay have to pay dearly" I said looking at both Claire bad George donton, am suspicious of this two.
" Ruby, am really sorry for whatever happened in the past, am truly sorry, and am sure your daughter would be alright okay, just have faith and pray for her" Mandy said.
Aria just nodded her head and continued strolling back and forth of the corridor. It was soon nighttime. George took Claire back saying it was cold and she needs rest, while Mandy went back home, cooked for us and after we were done she went back promising to come back in the morning.
It was just me and Aria left, and soon we ended up sleeping on the reception chair outside Selena's room, with Arias head on my shoulder.
