Hospital
Morning
11:22am
Alicia's point of view
"She's going to be fine, her body is just going through stress and for the nose bleed.....It might be caused from dry air because there's nothing seriously wrong with her"The doctor said making us exhaled in relief.
Thank god,I thought it was something serious looking at how weak she looked earlier. We're currently in Sandra's ward and she is sleeping soundly like a baby.
"Thank you very much doctor Lucas"Dad said with a smile.
"Yeah you're welcome, I'm going to write down some drugs so that she'll be taking to stop the nose bleed"He said.
"OK, Thank you very much doctor "Mom said.
"I'll be in my office if you need me, when she wakes up tell the Nurse to call me right away"He said with a smile and walked away.
I stared at Sandra as she slept and held her hand rubbing it softly.
"Please Wake up Sandra"I muttered sadly.
"You heard the doctor Alicia....She's going to be fine"mom said and placed her hand on my shoulder.
"They really do look alike honey"Mom said to dad with a smile.
"Yes they do,I can't believe we didn't even notice it wasn't Sandra this whole time. "Dad said with a chuckle.
"I really....."Mom was going to say something when her phone began ringing.She took her phone and quickly answered the call.
"Yes Downey,good morning"She said.
"Oh my husband is here... He's with me"She said.
"Really,we'll be there in the next one hour"She said with a smile and hung up.
"What did Downey say? "Dad asked staring at Mom.
"He said that Swizz blast agreed to our terms and we got the contract and he also said that we should go to the company right now and sign the contract" Mom said with smiles on her face.
"Wow that's good news"Dad said and hugged mom.
"This calls for double celebration.....first we found our daughter and now we got the contract"Dad said staring at me.
"Urrmm.....sorry Alicia we gotta go now,But I promise you we'll be back immediately we sign the contract"Mom said and kissed my forehead.
"Ok mom bye"I said .
"Oh and before I forget,you heard what the doctor said.....If Sandra wakes up please force her to eat enough food"Mom added before picking up her handbag.
"Ok I will, bye mom, bye dad"I said.
"Bye princess" dad said and held mom's hand walking out of the ward.
I stared at them as they walked out of the room before returning my eyes back to the Sandra.
I pushed away the strand of hair from her eyes and smiled brightly. Who knew things would turn out this way.
What if we didn't meet at all, does it mean I would have never found my family?,I thought.
I was still deep in my thoughts when I heard my phone ring from my pocket, I removed it to see that it's Chloe that is calling me.
I smiled and move away from Sandra so as not to disturb her.
"Hey Sandra watsup,why aren't you in school??"She asked immediately I picked up.
"Ugh I'm at the hospital"I said with a chuckle.
"Hospital??, what's wrong with you?"She asked immediately.
"It's not me it's one of my siblings"I said.
"Oh I'm sorry about that"She said.
"Yeah thanks, How's school today? "I asked.
"it's so boring without you"she said and I scoffed immediately.
"As if she's not with Darius now"I said with an eye roll and heard her burst into laughter.
"Ok fine.....I'm with Darius now but that doesn't mean that I don't miss you"She said making me chuckle.
"Guess what"She said.
" What?"I asked.
"The HHH girls and Hope still didn't come to school today"She said with a scoff.
"They didn't??"I asked.
"No they didn't.....It's so obvious they're scared"She said.
"They should be, They can't hide forever.....I just hope they'll be prepared for what's coming their way"I said with a smirk.
"I think Xavier and Darius are planning something too"She said.
"They are??"I asked.
"Oh sh*t I'll call you back later,The biology teacher is here"She said hurriedly and hung up immediately.
I stared at the phone and chuckled quietly, Chloe is such a joy giver....I just wonder how she'll react when Sandra amd I show up in school together,I thought with a smile.
"Alicia"I heard my name and I swiftly turned to Sandra on the bed to see her eyes slightly opened.
"Sandra"I called and ran to her on the bed.
"How are you feeling?"I asked warmly staring at her half-opened eyes.
"I feel so weak....What happened?? "She asked staring at me.
"You passed out"I replied.
"Oh....I saw you and my parents together at the office back in the orphanage, Did they find out??"She asked inaudibly that I had to strain my ears.
"I'll tell you all about it later,for now I'll just call the nurse to check you"I said and pressed the call bell and almost immediately the nurse and doctor Luca's rushed into the room.
"She's awake"I said and moved away from the bed.
I watched as the doctor check her pulse and did some other things on her.
"She just needs to eat and take her drugs and I assure you that she'll be as strong as a lion tomorrow"He said making me happy.
"Thank you doctor"I muttered staring at Sandra.
"Finally"I muttered.
"I'll just go get you something to eat Sandra ...I'll be back in a jiffy"I said and walked out of the room leaving her with the nurse.

30 minutes later
"So that's what happened"I said.
I just finished narrating what happened at the mansion I met sister Maria.
"Oh my god I'm so excited right now, I can't believe you're my twin sister.....I mean God sure do answers prayers"She said tearily and hugged me tightly immediately.
"I'm so happy it's you"she muttered again with a sniff.
"I'm also happy it's you too"I said hugging her too.
"I won't be lonely anymore, in fact I want us to share the same room"she said happily and hugged me.
"Chill Sandra"I said with a chuckle.
"Are you full or you want more food"I said and broke the hug.
"Oh please are you trying to kill me.... I'm so full that I can't even sit comfortably"She said and I burst into laughter.
"You really scared the living daylight out of me this morning....Why didn't you tell anyone about your nose bleed ?.What if it was something very severe and you kept quiet"I said staring at her.
"I'm sorry...The truth is I actually thought I was dying and that was actually the main reason why I had badly insisted that we switch. I just wanted to know what it feels like outside my house"she said with a sad smile.
"I was even more happier when you told me that you live in the orphanage.I mean I got to talk to other kids,play basketball and do other cool things that I couldn't do in the mansion. I'm really grateful to you for giving me that privilege"She said with a smile.
"You're welcome and I'm also grateful to you too"I said with a smile.
"I'm starting to feel really dizzy"She muttered.
"Maybe the drugs have started taking effect.....I think you need to rest now"I said and helped her lie down on the bed.
"Thank you"She muttered and closed her eyes.
I stared at her and smiled widely staring at her face.....She really do look soo much like me.

Diviago Bar
Evening
8:21pm
Odessa's point of view (Seth's mom)
I sighed staring at my watch,Why is he not here yet??, I thought and took a sip from my cup of wine.
He told me to be here by 8:00pm and it's already 8:21pm.
I removed my phone from my bag and I was about to call his even I felt someone peck me on my neck.
"Sorry I kept you waiting,I had it urgently attend to something before coming"He said and sat down close to me.
"You should have called or text me Winthrop ....You just kept me waiting here without a word"I said with a pout.
"I'm sorry darling"He said and pecked me.
"It's fine, What do you want to discuss with me??,You sounded really urgent on the phone"I said and took a sip.
"Oh right....urmm..... It's about Seth"He said and my heart skiped a beat immediately.
"What about my Son??"I asked perplexed but tried to hide it.
"Come on Odessa don't act as if you don't know what I'm saying"He said with a slight frown.
"I don't know what you're trying to say"I said.
"When are you going to tell me that Seth is my son??"He asked staring at me with a raised eyebrow.
"I don't understand...what you're saying....Winthrop"I said with a stutter.
"I know you know that I'm saying the truth,Seth is mine and you know it"He said and all I could do was stare at him gobsmacked.
"How the hell did he find out??"I thought and cleared my throat.
"Seth is Rodriguez's child, The fact we had s*x 19 years ago when I was married to Rodriguez doesn't mean that the child is yours"I said boldly.
"Oh really?? then let me do a DNA test"He said making me lost of words.
