Chapter 94
She moved towards the bed and bent. Then put her torch under to check what was under the bed and to her surprise she saw Dina lying unconscious with blood all over.
“Jesus” she screamed at once as her phone fell from her hands.
The driver who was outside the house heard Lisa scream and he ran inside the house.
*****
Lisa is seen pacing to and fro inside the hospital building waiting for the doctor who was attending to Lisa to come out.
After the driver came in. He raised the bed and they saw Dina in the pool of her blood. Her head was bleeding so badly.
The driver then noticed she was still alive and they rushed her to the hospital.
Just then Daniel rushed inside the hospital.
“What happened Lisa? Where is she?” daniel asked
“She’s inside the emergency unit. The doctors are attending to her” Lisa said as tears gathered in her eyes.
“What happened?” Daniel asked
“I don’t know. I came to her house and found everywhere scattered with blood all over, then I found her lying unconscious under her daughter’s bed with blood all over” Lisa said as more tears slipped down her cheeks.
“Shhh calm down, she’s going to be fine. Stop crying ” Daniel said
“No no. Everything is not going to be fine. I didn’t see Clara. She’s nowhere to be found. I asked everyone in their neighborhood and no one have seen her” Lisa cried
“Lisa calm down alright please ” Daniel begged
“No no, it’s all my fault. It’s all my fault, she had called me yesterday. She was trying to say something but the call ended and when I tried calling her, the number wasn’t going through. I should have gone to her house, she wanted me to come home, she said she found something ” Lisa cried and Daniel hugged her.
“It’s alright, we’re gonna find Clara and Dina is going to be fine” Daniel consoled. Just then the driver walked in with some police officer.
“DPO” Daniel said and shook hands with him.
“Mr. Smith” the DPO called as they both shook hands.
“Thank you for coming,” Daniel said and he nodded.
“Miss Lisa, we would like to ask you some questions,” the DPO said and Lisa turned to Daniel.
“It’s alright,” Daniel said to Lisa and she nodded.

After Lisa answered the questions the police officer asked her, they left and promised to investigate what happened at Dina’s house and they promised to send their search teams to look for Clara.
The DPO had left and the doctor finally came out of Dina’s ward.
“Doctor, how’s she?” Lisa asked
“I can’t say anything, for now, Miss Lisa. She lost a lot of blood and the injury in her head was really deep. If she happens to survive she might have a loss of memories but for now, let’s just keep praying she survives. We will continue doing our best” the doctor said
“Thank you, doctor, ” Daniel said and the doctor nodded before leaving.
Lisa stood there and was about to fall to the ground but Daniel was quick to hold her and made her sit on the chair.
“You have to go home and rest Lisa, please ” Daniel who was looking so worried pleaded
“No I can’t, I need to find Clara before anything happens to her. I need to find out who did this to Dina and who took Clara. I need to find out why” Lisa said And Daniel sighed softly. Lots of thoughts going through his mind and the same with Lisa.
Lisa began to wonder who would have done this to Dina. And what was Dina telling her she found out yesterday? Then it came to her mind before she had left yesterday, that Martha was the one with Dina.
Maybe she might know what happened. She should call her. Lisa brought out her phone and dialed Martha’s number but it wasn’t going through.
“Who are you trying to call?” Daniel asked
“Martha. She was the last person with Dina yesterday before I left. Her number isn’t going through” Lisa said as she kept calling her number.
“I’m not sure you would be able to reach her. She came to my office this morning and said she needed to travel downtown. Her mom is sick and she needs to take her to the hospital. She took a one-month leave” Daniel said and Lisa stared at him without saying a word.
“Do you think she has anything to do with this?” Daniel ask
“I don’t know but lately Martha has been acting weird and she’s been lying. Martha doesn’t have a mom. The few times I spent with her she told me she only has a dad and younger siblings. Her mom died of high blood pressure,” Lisa said and quickly dialed Derek’s number.
“Hello, Mrs preggy” Derek said as he answered the phone call.
“Derek, have you seen Martha? ” Lisa asked
“Of course yes. She didn’t tell u?” Derek asked
“Tell me what?” Lisa asked
“Oh, her aunt is getting married so she needs to be present. So she took a month’s leave from the office ” Derek said and Lisa turned to Daniel.
Martha had lied to them all. She told Daniel a different story and her friends an entirely different story too. God!!
“Derek has she left?” Lisa asked
“I think yes. We just finished talking on a video call and she was about to leave when she ended the call. So I assumed she’s left” Derek said
“Derek, please find out if she’s left if she has not left yet. Try stopping her from leaving” Lisa said
“Why? What’s happening ” Derek asked
“Now is not the time for questions. We need to stop Martha before she leaves please” Lisa said and Derek nodded before ending the call.
“Lisa you should stay with Dina, I’ll take over from here, please, ” Daniel said and Lisa nodded.
