Peter stood up in haste, he knew something was wrong. He felt pain at the side of his belly but he didn’t stop. He walked to the door of the ward and met Racheal walking in. “Peter, why did you get up! What is going on?” Rachael asked in shock, she held his hand and wanted to pull him back but he dragged his hand from hers. “I need to see Kimberly now.” He said and Racheal furrowed her brows. “Why do you want to see her? I told you she is busy. You know what, why don’t you go back to the bed and I will put a call across to her.” Rachel said calmly. “So you can do what you do best?” He asked in anger and Racheal was confused. “What do I do best? What are you talking about Peter?” She asked. “You lied to me about Kim being busy, and you are still lying to my face again. You didn’t talk to her, did you?” he asked and she nodded. “of course I did.” She said and Peter sighed feeling so angry. “You are making me hate you more. Rachael, I wasn’t expecting this from you.” He said and moved her away from the way. He walked out of the ward holding the side of the tummy in pain. He walked to the exit and people watched him as he did. “Sir.” He heard someone call from behind and he turned to see the doctor approaching him. “I need to see Kim.” He said looking at the exit. “Baby you are not yet strong. You shouldn’t be out of bed now.” Rachael said but he ignored her. “never you call me baby again. You don’t have the right to call me that.” He said opening the door and walking out before the doctor could reach him. He made sure he had Racheal's phone with him because he needed to get through Kim. He was yet to know where she was. He called her number again as he walked down the street and noticed he wasn’t followed by the hospital anymore. It rang and rang but she didn’t pick up. What is she going to do? Kim doesn’t do something stupid. He searched through the phone again and then he saw a number which was saved with Landon Hernandez. He decided to dial the number and after it rang for some minutes, he picked up the phone. “Landon?” Peter asked and Landon creased his brows. “Who am I speaking with please?” Landon asked and Peter felt a little happy he was able to talk to Someone close to Kim. “Hi, this is Peter, Kim's Father.” He said and Landon's mouth fell apart slightly. “Oh, Good day sir,” Landon responded. “Good day Landon, I am so sorry to disturb but I have been trying to reach Kim but it isn’t going through. Is she there with you? You can tell me your house address and I will come over.” Peter said and Landon sighed. “Sir, I am not at home Sir. We are in the hospital, and Kim is not here presently but when she is back I would let her know you called.” Landon stated and Peter's eyes widened. “In the hospital? Is she okay? She didn’t sound too well when we talked. She is alright?” he asked worriedly. “she is fine sir, she isn’t the one ill. I am the one ill, but you don’t have to worry. Once she is back, I would call her.” Landon uttered. “What is the name of the hospital, please? I need to see my daughter.” He said and Landon nodded looking at his mom. “Kingsmith hospital.” He said and Peter nodded. “I will be there soon.” He said and hung up the call. He saw a taxi approach and he waved it down. “Kingsmith hospital.” He told the driver as he opened the back door and sat. *** “Kim has been gone for hours. Where did she go?” Landon asked himself aloud to his mother’s hearing. “Maybe she went home or something,” Sara responded and Landon shook his head. “she would have said something if that was the case. She just left without saying a word. I hope she is okay.” He said looking worried. “You like her.” Sara started and Landon nodded. “I can’t deny that anymore mother. I don’t like her, I love her.” He said and Sara smiled with tears in her eyes. “She loves you too, I know she does.” She said and Landon smiled. “How are you so sure she does? She hates to admit it.” Landon said and Sara smiled bowing her head. “She has proved it already,” Sara said. She didn’t want to come out plain to Landon yet. Not after she was done with the surgery. “You must be shocked how she got to know… the doctor told her what was going on. He also warned her not to say a word to Landon.” “Proved It? In what way?” Landon asked feeling so confused. “You will know soon my son.” She said and he shook his head. “No mother. I have few days to live, you don’t have to keep anything from me now.” He said and Sara smiled. “You have years to live Landon. You are not dying.” She said and before Landon could say anything the door opened and Peter came in. “Landon?” He called and both of them turned to look at him. “I am Peter. I am here to see Kimberly.” He said and Sara stood up immediately. “Can we talk outside please?” Sara asked and Landon furrowed his brows. “What is going on Mother?” Landon asked but she shook her head and smiled walking out of the ward with Peter. “Hi, I am Landon's mother.” She said and he nodded. “Okay, what of Kimberly? Did she leave already?” He asked and Sara breathed out loud. “No, she is in the O.R.,” She said and Peter's mouth dropped open. “What is my daughter doing in the operating room?” He asked trying to stay calm. “I am so sorry Mr. Peter, but she is undergoing surgery presently.” She said and tears gathered in his eyes. “What? Surgery? What for?” He asked in a shaky voice. “Sir please can we just sit down and talk?” Sara asked and He shook his head. “No! I can’t. Tell me what is going on with my Kimberly.” He said and Sara bowed her head. “She loves my son so much, that she decided to gift him one of her kidneys.” She said. “What?” Peter asked In shock. “I am so sorry. The life of my son lies on it, he has less than seven days to live.” Sara said admits tears. “So my daughter is putting her life at risk? No! I can’t take that! Let them stop now!” He yelled and almost immediately, the surgeon came out of the operating room. “How is she?” Peter asked running to him. “I am…” He said and before he could finish, Peter fell to the ground and went unconscious.
