Kelvin was rushed to the hospital by some passerby, he was unconscious as he had lost a large amount of blood from his head. He was taken into the emergency room and two nurses were assigned to him for immediate treatment. After some minutes of stabilizing his health. His phone was searched and a call was made through to Helen who was asked to come for his husband with immediate effect. On hearing the news from the doctor she could not believe her ears as she was doubting if it was her own Kelvin. When she became conscious, she called on her driver who drove her to the hospital. At the hospital, Helen was pacing up and down as she was yet to see him, since he was already in the intensive care unit.
Helen: (pacing up and down) Nothing must happen to my husband. She was biting her lower lips and asking herself different question. Kelvin doesn’t smoke nor drink, so what is the cause of this accident, she began to ask herself.
As she was thinking, Mike entered with Joan as they had met on the way to the hospital having heard about the news of the accident.
Joan: Hello, Hope it is not that serious.
Helen : (still occupied in her thought) hmmmm
Joan: You have to calm down all these would be under control by the grace of God.
Mike: You see, nothing will happen to Kelvin, I know that. Just relax.
Three of them were confused and were just staring at the nurses that were going and coming out of the wards.

Monica: Hello miss, please I need your help

Angelica: (pretending) Am not sure madame, but hope there is no problem.
Monica: There is no major problem but there is a little one. I am his wife and he has not been home since, I learnt from a friend that he was staying here.
Angelica: (Feeling pity) I am sorry about your condition.
Monica : (Forcing herself to cry) I am the only one taking care of the four children we had together and I really love him, please help me out.
Angelica: Okay, ehmm, I will direct you to the next counter, the lady there has full information about the man but before you go, since you claim that he is your husband, I will tell you a secret.
Monica: (exicted but pretended to be sober again) Okay I am all hears ma’am.
Angelica: You see, the man was with a lady inside the room that fateful day and I heard them shouting at themselves. Later on, I saw the woman walking downstairs like someone that was being pursued, so I went into the room to do cleaning but to my surprise,(she paused)
Monica: (Anxious) what surprise dear.
Angelica: I met him in his own blood, he was unconscious and gasping for life, so the management had to rush him to hospital.
Monica: (breath out) so he is not dead yet.
Angelica: Yes, he is not dead but the doctor said his brain is damaged as he suffered a fracture on the head.
Monoica: Jesus!!! But where is he now?
Angelica: I can’t disclose it o, although his brain is faulty but he still speak some reasonable words sometimes.
Monica: What are you trying to say..
Angelica: I have been the one taking care of him since the incident as we don’t know his relative.
Monica: So?
Angelica: I will collect all my money in full for the treatment I applied. This is business.
Monica: Ahh, so you are a bad lady, then all those calls who was the one behind it.
Angelica: Which call, I am not aware of any call oo, simce he was with me, I have not put a call through, I said I don’t know his relative so who should I call.
Monica: (confused) Then who is making those strange calls, who is behind those call, definitely there is another person aware of this.
Angelica: See madame since you said , you are his wife, I will release him to you only if you credit my account with one million naira only.
Monica: Jesus! That is much now, wher do I get that kind money.
Angelica: It is as if you are not ready for your husband.
Monica: (trying to calm down) You see I think it is time to be sincere with you. you see am not the wife of the man. I also want to use him to achieve something big which will benefit both of us.
Angelica: (Laughs) you must be crazy woman, you think an some kind of old fool that did not go to school, you want to cheat me and disapper. I think you are sick upstairs.
Monica : My lady, please understand, I want to use him to get at my friend who came here to meet him and made him unconscious. She married the man I love so I want to spoil the marriage and move in, please help me out.
Angelica : See this yeye woman, you must be crazy in the head. Okay, what concerns me with your own problem, mine is that give me the money and use him for whatever you want.
