“What!!!! How come?” Mrs. Emery asked with her eyes widened and her mouth agape.
“He was murder by one of his business partner. But you should trust me, I dealt with the man and get him arrested from killing my husband” Mrs. Lane said crying.
“I know you are a very strong woman, am so sorry, you’ve really passed through a lot” Mrs. Emery said and hugged her passionately.
“You and you son are just the same, he is very kind, he treated my daughter like you always treated me when we are very young” Mrs. Lane said.
“Wow!! So Romeo and Pamela mum knew each other and he got rusticated from school because of her Pamela” Annie mumbled but it was loud enough to be heard.
She cover her mouth when Romeo eyes her badly, but it was too late has she already let the cat out of the basket.
“Pamela, is he the person you told me about?” Mrs. Lane asked.
“Yes mum, he is the guy that have been disturbing my life in school” Pamela said and eyes Romeo badly.
“I am lost, can someone please explained what is going on here, because am totally lost, Romeo don’t tell me you get rusticated from school, and for what and reason” Mrs. emery asked facing Romeo.
Romeo throw his face away.
“Look here and answer my question” Mrs. Emery said and make him look at her.
“Mum is just a small issue I have with her and moreover, she was about to go” Romeo said but his mum didn’t let him complete his words when she gave him a hot slap.
Everyone eyes widened.
“Why don’t you tell me this, do you want the world to query my upbringing” Mrs. Emery asked.
“Mum, I promised is not a big deal, I can handle it myself, am very sure they are just joking” Romeo said.
“If you say any more words, I will hit you again, so keep quiet and tell me what happened between the two of you” Mrs. Emery said angrily.
“Mum I said is nothing serious, we will sort this out” Romeo said holding his check.
“Tiana am very sorry, he did nothing wrong so don’t blame the poor boy, I am very sorry, he won’t be rusticated” Mrs. Lane said.
“Lina, please can you stay out this, it a mother and son issue, so I will be happy If you can stay out of this, he is just twenty and he always want to do things on his own.
if he considered me a mother then he would have share some of his problem with me, I always support him in everything, but today I will not support him, how could he be so stupid to keep such an important thing from me, something important about his life” Mrs. Emery said angrily.
“Mum, please just listen to me, I told you is not something that important, I can solve it out myself” Romeo said trying to calm her mum down.
“Shut up right now boy, do you think getting rusticated from school is something to joke with, I promised to deal with you for this. Meet me at home” Mrs. Emery said and headed towards the door.
Leo was at the door. “Sorry ma” he said and leave the way.
“Oh my gosh, why am I filled with misfortune” Romeo said angrily and follow his mum.
“Why can’t I just kept quiet” Annie said regretfully.
“So Romeo was also rusticated and he never showed it, this is bad, he is a very nice guy he didn’t deserved this” Henry said.
“Leave this place right now, you fool” Pamela said with an evil glare.
“I will surely leave, am only here all because of Vicky, Leo common let leave here this people are suffocating me” Henry said.
“You are suffocating yourself fool, you cheated on my sister, you deserve what you got” Pamela said.
“Now I understand why Romeo said you will never change” Owen said and leave the ward.
“I am so selfish everyone one is walking away from me one after the other” Mrs. Lane said crying dejected.
Henry was about leaving. Leo held his hand. “Don’t be selfish, you want to leave your good friend all because of what she said” Leo said.
“I need to get my things ready, I should find what I will start doing with my life, since I have gotten rusticated from school” henry said.
“You are not going anywhere, you will remain in school” Mrs. Lane said and Pamela fumes angrily.
“Am really happy, thanks a lot ma” henry said smiling.
Vicky hand moved. “Mum, she just moved her hand” Pamela shouted and rushed out to call the doctor.
“She moved her hand” Pamela said to the doctor.
The doctor rushed to the ward.
Pamela see Romeo trying to calm his mother, but she wasn’t giving him a listening ear.
“I guess he really likes his mum so much, I hope she listen to him, it was all my fault, I shouldn’t have been so greedy and coward, I should have really work hard like Vicky said. Wait a minute was I actually feeling pity for him, no that is not possible, the truth is that I hate him so much” Pamela thought and went inside the ward.
“I think there was actually something that makes her moves, if you keep saying good things around her, she will be okay within some days” the doctor said.
“Okay doctor thanks so much” Mrs. Lane said.
