Chapter 95
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.
Immediately Lisa ended the call, Derek turned to Julia and joy with a worried face.
“What happened? What did Lisa say?” joy asked
“It’s Martha. I think she’s up to no good” Derek said and dialed Martha’s number but it wasn’t going through.
“She must be up to something. My mind told me that. I had this feeling she was about to do something with the way she’s been acting lately and suddenly she just woke up and said she needed to attend a wedding. I just hope she hasn’t done something bad” Julia said
“Her number isn’t going through. I’m sure she switched it off” Derek said
“What do we do now,” Julia said
“I don’t know,” Derek said worriedly.
“Excuse me I need to use the restroom ” joy who hasn’t said anything since finally spoke before leaving. Julia and Derek turned to each other and wondered if was wrong with joy, but that was the list of their worry now.

Lisa entered Dina’s ward. Tears slipped down her cheeks as she stared at Dina whose head was bandaged.
She was on oxygen. different things connected to her body and a drip that contains blood.
More tears slipped down her cheeks as she stared at her. Her daughter had just done her surgery days back. She could imagine the happiness on her face when the surgery was done successfully.
She’s never seen her so happy like that since they met. She was so happy her daughter’s face was going to be beautiful once more and now this happens.
She was in a coma and her daughter was missing. She wondered who could have done this to her. Dina and her daughter deserved none of this. They’ve never wronged anyone. She then wondered why bad things happen to good people.
She wondered who could have done this to her. Aside from her husband Charles who was in a cell, she couldn’t imagine someone else doing such to her. Dina had no friends or enemies. Everyone was her friend.
If Martha were to be responsible for this she wondered why she would do such a heartless thing to Dina. God!! She would have died if she didn’t go to their house this morning. She swallowed hard as she sat beside her.
Tears slipped down her cheeks. Whoever did this to her, she fought the person before whoever did this brought her down. She fought and Lisa knew Dina would only fight for one thing and that was her daughter, Clara. She just prays Clara is okay wherever she is now.
It’s all my fault when you called and told me to come. I should have listened to you but I didn’t. I blame myself. I promise you, Dina, I’ll find Clara and whoever is behind this will pay for it. I’ll make sure they pay.
Lisa closed her mouth with her hands as she cried. More tears slid down her cheeks. It breaks her heart so much to see Dina in this position. She just can’t bear it.:
She stood up and was about to leave the room when she heard the computer or whatever they connected to her beeping.
“Dina” Lisa called as she watched the lines in the computer go blank.
“Doctor!! Nurse” she yelled at the top of her voice and suddenly the nurses ran inside.
“Dina please don’t do this to me, please don’t leave me. For the sake of Clara please Dina please” Lisa cried
“Maam please excuse us,” one of the nurses said
“No, no. I’m not leaving” Lisa said as she stood in the corner of the room watching the doctors.
That pain she felt the day her mom was killed. She could feel that pain coming back. She doesn’t want to lose Dina. Oh please, Dina, you promise to be always by my side please don’t leave me, Dina.
You promised to be there by my side the day I’ll give birth. Dina please, please stay with us, please, Lisa whimpered. she closed her eyes letting the pain she was feeling wash over her.
God!!! This shit hurts like hell. Dina was more than a friend to her. She was the sister she never had. Lisa whimpered as she was already so weak.
Suddenly, everywhere became blurry.
“Miss?” She heard one of the nurse’s voices and suddenly she lost consciousness.
*******
“Hey” Daniel mumbled as she noticed Lisa was awake. Lisa turned to him.
“The doctor said you lost consciousness. How are you feeling now” Daniel asked
“I’m okay. What about Dina?” Lisa asked
“She’s okay. The doctor said she’s going to be fine ” Daniel said
“How about Martha? Has she been found?” Lisa asked as she sat up on the bed with the help of Daniel.
“No, but she’s still in town. She won’t be able to leave town, I got eyes everywhere watching so she would just be hiding but she’ll be found” Daniel said
“What about Clara?” Lisa asked
“Martha took her. The police found a CCTV footage outside Dina’s compound, where Martha carried Lisa inside her car and zoomed off” Daniel said and Lisa sighed sadly
“Don’t worry she’s going to be found. The police are going to find her and bring Clara to her mommy” Daniel promised and Lisa nodded.
“Do you have any idea why she’s doing this? Or do you think she’s working for someone?” Lisa asked
“No, but we are going to find out. But please, you have to calm down and rest. You’re putting yourself and the babies at risk. Please, Lisa. You have to rest, please. I called your friends. They’ll be here in no time to keep you company ” Daniel said Lisa nodded in response and just then Derek, Julia, and Joy walked in.
“Oh my goodness!! Lisa” Derek said as he walked in.
