Rodney POV
I heard Tamara shrieked as soon as she pressed her both hands to her ears.
I looked forward from her face, and before I could register what was going on, I quickly placed my legs on the brakes, but it was too late, I had already knocked the woman down with my car.
I hurried out of my car with Tamara scuttled behind me, and before I could catch her, she already landed on the floor.
I was beyond shocked as soon as I recognized the woman's face, I stood rooted for a while as I watched Tamara rushed to her, I beat her to it, I rushed to her and crouched behind her and lifted her to my chest. I hugged her to myself. “Mom!” I yelled on top of my voice.
People were gathered already as they watched the whole scene, while some took their time to record it with their phones, but I was less bothered as at then.
Henry would have stopped them had it been he was here. “I'm so sorry, Mom” I wept profusely, she opened her eyes “Rodney” I heard her muttered, I nodded curtly. “It's me Mom, your son, your Rodney” I choked on my words, allowing my tears to roll down my cheeks.
A faint smile formed on her lips, but I couldn't reciprocate it; and in no seconds, she passed out. I felt my heart left my chest instantly. “Someone, ambulance, please!” I screamed at no in particular.
“You need to leave from here, Mr. Rodney” A nurse said, obstructing my way. “That's my mom!” I scowled at her, causing her to cringe a little.
“Come on Rodney” Tamara cooed behind me. She pressed a hand to my shoulder in a comfort manner. I shot the nurse a final glare and finally turned away, with Tamara walking behind me.
We found a suitable seat in the reception, I placed my head on Tamara's shoulder, sobbing silently. “She will be alright” She assured for the third time, I shook my head before lifting my head from her shoulder and stared ahead blankly.
“She had been through a lot,” I stated sadly.
“I just need her to open her eyes, she needs to forgive me” I burst into another round of tears, not minding people around.
Tamara POV
“I hope nothing bad happens to her,” I prayed silently as I stroke Rodney's back; I really feel for him. After a short period of time, the whole place suddenly became silent, and I wondered what could be the reason.
I darted my eyes around slowly, only to saw a man walking into the reception with three men around him, which I assumed they were his guards.
Rodney looked up at the same time the man glanced at where we were sitting.
He sprang on his feet immediately and rushed to him. Who's the man?
I also stood on my feet, watching them curiously. “I am so sorry, Dad” I heard him say and my eyes dilated. “Dad?” I mumbled.
“It's not your fault son, she sure will be okay” his Dad consoled him as he patted his back.
He really loves his mom.
I didn't even get to meet my mom, I don't know how she looks like, I didn't grow with motherly love.
Each time I requested a picture of her from Roman, all I received was a slap; so I was forced to stop asking.
“Are you okay?” I was brought back by the man's voice, rather Rodney's dad. When did he get here?
I lowered my head. “Good afternoon, sir” I greeted him, politely, and I could feel him smiling.” How are you, dear?” He asked nicely.
“I'm fine, si…”
“Good day to you, Mr. Michael,” I was cut short by the Doctor's voice.
“How's my mom doing?” Rodney butts in before his Dad could utter a word, and the Doctor just smiled. “It's nothing serious Mr. Rodney, she was not affected by the hit of the car, she only passed out due to her shock state; but do not worry, everything is absolutely under control sir, you have nothing to worry about” The doctor explained, I heaved a sigh of relief and same with others. “Can we go see her now?” Rodney asked impatiently, and the doctor smiled again as he motioned for us to come along.
Sienna POV
“What's wrong with you?!” I yelled at him, he brought his face down. “You should have done your job before she could leave her house,” I growled at him.
“I was actually expecting her to cross to the other side of the road, so I could carry on with the job but unfortunately, she was hit by her son's car” He defended, and I huffed.
“You are such a big fool, Patrick,” I hurled at him before looking away from his annoying face.
“Let me just seize this opportunity to let you know this if Michael gets to know I was behind her absence all those years; then believe me you will hear it from me, I'll make sure I have you killed myself” I said throatily, he stared at me for some seconds before looking away.
“You know me Patrick, you know what I'm capable of doing” I reminded, grinding my teeth.
“Just get out of my sight!” I growled and he bowed before leaving.
Damn it!
I hit my fist against the metal stool angrily.
What's going to happen now?
“I'm so killing you, Margaret” I mumbled through gritted teeth.
Jason POV
I was having my dinner silently when my phone suddenly buzzes. I looked down at it on the table and muttered an “oh”
I dropped my cutlery and picked up the phone before it stops ringing. “Yes, speak,” I ordered.
“Boss, he's taking the next flight in a few minutes” He announced, I dragged the chair backward before spranging on my feet.
“Under no circumstances, he mustn't get away” I instructed through clenched teeth, “Understood?” I asked.
“Yes boss”
“Good” I mumbled and with that, I hung up.
I had promised to help you, Tamara, and that's accurately what I am doing.
