Chapter 71

At this time, outside the hospital. Mr. Richards was so angry as he shouted on to his phone. "What do you mean by you are still in the country? What did I tell you? You need to hurriedly leave the country before anyone gets a hold of you because if they do, that would be your problem."

After saying this, he hanged up before heading back into the hospital. 'D*mn it!' he cursed out.

Meanwhile at the scene of the accident too. Stanley couldn't bring himself to accept what he had just seen. He rushed to one of the police officers and asked. "Was there a woman in the car before it blew up in flames?"

"We ain't that sure about it. We got here as fast as we could but couldn't get closer enough to be sure." The police officer replied.

"Do you by any chance know the victim involved in the accident?" He proceeded to ask Stanley.

"Yes. And please keep me updated if there is anything."Stanley handed his complimentary card to the officer.

"We are really sorry. If she happened to be in the car, I am not sure she would be able to make it. But I would be sure to keep you updated." After that, the police officer walked away.

At this time, Stanley's phone rang. It was from Dennis. "Where are you?" Came from the other end of the phone.

"I, I, I..." Stanley didn't know how to reply.

"Where have you run off to already? Hurry down back to the hospital. My boss wants to see you."

"Alright." He replied weakly.

Dennis who was on the other end was surprised at his reaction.Because on a normal day when he tells him his boss wants to see him, Stanley was suppose to sound sarcastic like ask him to ask permission from mine first. But now, he didn't know. Or maybe because his boss is lying in the intensive care unit.

Dennis didn't think much about it when he headed back into the hospital ward where Kyle. Christopher and Samuel were waiting.

"What did he say?" Samuel asked when he entered.

"He would be here soon." Dennis replied.

It didn't take long for Stanley to get back there but the state in which he was got everyone stupefied.

"And what happened to him?" Christopher was the first to ask Dennis when he saw Stanley.

"I don't know." Dennis gestured with to him with his shoulders when he replied. He had no idea.

Kyle looked at him coldly and asked. "What's wrong with you?What's with the tear stain?"

He had shed a tear earlier but he didn't think anyone would have noticed.

He just stared at them not knowing where to start.

"What is going on? You wouldn't want me asking you again."Kyle asked again.

And in a wobbly voice. Stanley replied. "It is Mrs. Hilda Clemon."

"What happened with me telling you I'm not going to allow her to come and see Nathan?" Samuel was the first to speak up angrily.

"Do you not know that she is the reason why Nathen is like this? We were all with Nathan till he left to go home and and..." Samuel stuttered as he continued.

"Wait! Samy, you do not think she has a hand in the accident that happened with Nathan or do you?" Kyle asked Samuel surprised.

"Of course she does. And I won't let her off so easily if anything happens to Nathan. I swear...."

"No, no, no. You got it all wrong. She knows nothing about the accident." Kyle quickly cut him off when he replied.

"Huh?" Samuel was surprised at the response he got. He then

thought back to how he spoke to Hilda earlier. If she had nothing to do with this then that means....

"Yes. I will explain all to you later. And you Stanley, what is with Mrs.Hilda Clemon?" Kyle asked again.

"She,she she might be dead."

"What?" Christopher and Dennis asked shocked.

"What do you mean by she might be dead?" Kyle asked in an unbelievable voice.

Where as Samuel had shock written all over his face.

"Yes. I do not know what exactly happened or how it happened though. But I was supposed to meet Mrs. Clemon at the entrance of the hospital as she was so agitated after hearing about what happened to Nathan. She wanted to come and see him. But since the Clemon family didn't know about their marriage, I opposed."

"She insisted and I couldn't say no to her after all she is my boss's wife which automatically makes her my boss too. I told her to meet me at the entrance so I sneak her in by getting her one of the nurses uniform." Stanley continued but was cut off.

Has Kyle was being impatient, he interrupted him and said."And then what happened? Can you get straight to the point on as to why you think she is dead? We do not have all day alright?"

Stanley just starred at him and continued. "She called me when she left home which was about an hour and a half ago but she was still not here at the hospital. As I was getting impatient,I decided to call her again but I could not reach her. I then called home and was told she already left. I started to worry and that was when I heard one of the nurses say that an accident had happened on the highway not far from here. As I thought about Mrs. Hilda Clemon and how long she had left home, I decided to follow hoping for it not to be her."

"What are you trying to say?" Christopher asked?

"When I got there, it was Mr. Samuel's sports car that had slided off the road and down the hill. Hilda was given the sports car by Nathan to use as her personal car.

But before the fire service and police could get any closer,the car exploded."

Boom!

Like a bomb had just exploded.

"What?" They all said in unison.

"Yeah" Stanley replied sadly.

"Where did the accident happen? And are you sure she was in the car?" Samuel asked in a shaky voice. He had considered Hilda as his sister only for him to misunderstand her. He couldn't bring himself to forgive himself if she really did die in the accident.

"And why are you now reporting?" Kyle asked as he tried walking out of the ward reaching out his phone to make some calls whiles ordering.

"You lot need to dispatch your guys to search the car and area.Hilda wouldn't be in the car. I believe she is alive. And you Stanley, Make sure to update me on what caused the accident.Whether it was an accident or the car was tampered with."

They all walk out in hopes of searching the car and area to make sure Hilda wasn't in the car. But Stanley stood rooted to the spot. Blaming himself.

"It is all my fault. If only I had not let her leave home and kept updating her. Like she would not have met with the accident."

"This isn't your fault. Now get to work." Kyle ordered before walking away with Christopher and Samuel.
