He carried the feeble woman who can't stand by herself. He brought his attention to the maids after his wife was in his arms.
"I will take your Madam to Z . A Hospital now. Under your supervision I want my mother-in-law to be brought to the hospital immediately too," He instructed.
"We will do as the master had ordered...,"
"You will have yourselves to blame if I don't see her at the hospital after we get there," Mr Anderson threatened. He raced out of the sitting room without waiting for their responses.
Ten minutes later Mr Anderson's car was seen coming to a halt in front of a tall building with the initials Z . A Hospital boldly engraved on the building.
In less than two minutes two nurses were there to receive the patient, Adhara Anderson.
Soon Grandma Cora was also rushed to the same hospital. Because the three of them were showing the same symptoms it made it quite easy for the doctors to conduct a test on them.
Several tests were conducted. But after all the rigorous activities the doctors were unable to give accurate diagnoses for their sickness.
A test on poisoning was carried out following Adhara's order. The result came out negative. It was after this that Adhara recalled Joanna's words.
[Will the doctors think that I am crazy like she had assumed if I insist that we were poisoned by my stepdaughter?]
Adhara stared at the nurses. She tried to say something but words refused to form in her mouth.
As Adhara and her family battled with this strange sickness Joanna was at a scenic spot having the best time of her life with her lover.
Today Joanna didn't get carried away by Amos' company and forgot about her best friend. She called her line fifteen minutes before the lecture commenced.
"It's rare for Drey to miss my call. I hope all is well?" Joanna mumbled. She stared at the cell phone in her hand worriedly.
"She also has a lecture today. I bet she must be eagerly waiting to scold both of us. She will scold me for stealing her best friend from her," Amos replied playfully.
"You are right about that. She will no longer be the Audrey that I grew up with if she doesn't complain about that," Joanna said.
Merely imagining Audrey's angry face made her chuckle.
Joanna and Amos only left for Campus about ten minutes before the commencement of her lesson.
At campus Joanna and Amos searched for Audrey but she was nowhere to be found. And this left Joanna worried.
"She hardly missed classes so what happened?" Joanna asked no one in particular.
She tried Audrey's line for the third time that day but there was yet no response. Even when she chatted her up, she didn't receive her reply.
"Your class is starting soon. If you are worried about her then we will search for her after your classes for today is over...,"
"But...,"
"If that is not cool with you then I will have Chris search for her instead. I am sure he would be able to give us her exact location before your classes are over," he suggested a better option when he saw that her worries were not eased.
"You don't have to. She has no friends except me so maybe she is either at her apartment playing games or she has gone home to spend the day with her parents," Joanna responded.
Even after she spoke so much Amos noticed from her fallen expression that she wasn't convinced by her words either.
"If you say so then we will check up on her at her apartment after your classes are concluded," He assured her with a smile.
"Let's go or you are gonna be late for your classes," he said and made her leave the entrance of the door where she stood.
Joanna led the way while Amos followed behind. As she walked she didn't notice that Amos was secretly texting someone.
He returned his cell phone to his trousers pockets after he was done passing out his instructions.
While listening to the lecture in the large Joanna was more interested in when the lecturer was gonna conclude his class rather than the content of the lecture itself.
After she endured the first lecture, she had to do the same for the next two lectures she had for the day.
Joanna exhaled deeply after the last lecturer drew the curtain for that day.
Amos could swear he hasn't seen that look of relief on her face before until today.
They were on their way to where Amos parked his car when his cell phone rang. After he signalled her to wait for him in the car, he read the message that she popped into his cellphone.
"And what the hell am I seeing?" Amos remarked, his eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
Joanna who was waiting for him inside the car got a glimpse of his astounded expression before it vanished.
[I would have loved to tell her what I found out but I believe I will ruin the surprise if I do that so why don't I pretend as if I know nothing about it?]
He was in deep thought as he stood there contemplating what to do.
After a minute of careful thinking, he made up his mind on what to do.
He soon moved to join her in the car.
"I saw your amazed expression earlier. Did something happen?" She asked in a soft tone.
"Are you perhaps needed over there...,"
"Kyle has promised to cover up for me in a few days. So in the coming days, I won't go anywhere. You have me all to yourself," He replied playfully.
He thought he would be able to take her mind off her previous question with his playful actions.
He didn't know that his playful acts won't save him from her interrogation this time around.
"If work wasn't the reason you had that expression then what is wrong?" She demanded in a soft tone.
