The Heart Never Forgets

CHAPTER FOURTY SIX

" Freen.... You have to get a hold of yourself, you can't be crying like this, hmm ". Becky sat there, holding Freen while the older woman was crying.

Nita was taken in for scans, trying to figure out where the problem was, Doctors needed her grandmother here so legal permission could be taken for further procedure.

And the only person who could tell where the girl's family is, was Freen.

" We need her grandmother here, Freen ". Becky said once again, the older woman nodded, she knew she couldn't cry in Becky's arms anymore, those arms didn't belong to her anymore, Becky was just taking care of her for a moment when she was feeling vulnerable.

" I will bring her grandmother here ". Freen wiped her face, sniffed and walked away from Becky.

" Will she be okay ? ". Irin said as soon as Freen disappeared from their view. " I don't know.... I understand why she acted that way, she experienced something similar to this in her childhood ". Becky sighed, even though Freen and Becky were fighting right now but she still cared for her to that level.

" Dr. Heng said she is ready for tests, they need you to take her blood sample ". Irin said and Becky immediately stood up following her senior's orders.

Freen had already reached Nita's flower shop and the good thing was that the shop was in her house.

" There is no doorbell ". Freen muttered, getting anxious, the more time she took the more worried became. " Should I climb up the gate ? ". Freen weighed her options, she had no other way but to do that.

She climb up the gate but before she could get out on the other side, the front door opened and Nita's grandmother walked out.

" Who are you ? ". She sternly said, she had a baseball bat in her hand for protection. " I am not here to harm you or rob you ". Freen held up her hands in defence, she was harmless, without her hands on the gate's railing, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

" Fuck that hurts ". Freen muttered getting up and rubbing her butt, Nita's grandmother slowly walked towards Freen still being cautious.

" What do you want ? ". The old woman finally sighed in relief when Freen didn't do anything suspicious. " You have to come with me to the hospital.... Nita is admitted there.... She fainted this morning in her shop ". Freen tried not to make the old woman anxious about her granddaughter's health but there was nothing she could say other than the truth itself.

" And who are you ? ". The old woman was still calm, trying to get ahold of the situation properly. " Just a loyal customer of your shop ". Freen smiled and the lady nodded, turned around to lock her house before she gets in Freen's car.

Freen wasted no time in turning on the ignition of the car as soon as Nita's grandmother was inside the car.

" She coughed up some blood before she fainted, I was the one who took her to the hospital ". Freen thought that the old woman deserved to know what she knew about her granddaughter's condition.

" Has it happened before ? ". Freen asked after a few minutes of silence, Nita's grandmother didn't say anything before and even now was silent. " Nita doesn't talk much, she doesn't want to burden me with her problems ". The grandmother looked out of the window, Freen nodded sighing, Nita was more complicated than she thought.

" We are here, Ma'am ". Freen announced when she pulled into the hospital's parking lot. Freen led the woman inside, her walking pace was a little slow, Freen assumed it was because she was sick right now as Nita told her yesterday.

" Bec.. Umm sorry Miss Armstrong, how is Nita's condition ? ". Freen was feeling awkward now, she remembered it clearly how much she cried holding onto Becky, when she hasn't even forgiven her. " Are you Nita's grandmother ? ". Becky ignored Freen and focussed on the woman standing beside her, Becky was hurt by the formal greeting Freen used just now but there were more important things at hand.
