The Unveiling.

chapter seven

👦Maison👦

For a moment I thought my mum had gone insane,what on earth does she mean by telliing me to do the surgery,"no"it's just one of her pranks but then who crack jokes in a situation like this.
The last time I was home was six years ago. Dad and I have lost every reason to want to spend time together,from school to work to mum wanting to spend more time with me, every day was a new excuse and now for the first time in a long while am home.

I wanted to surprise mum but ended up getting shock myself. Mama Caro collapsing and hitting her head,the unknown lady on the floor with a knife buried in her chest. "No,my mum didn't do this,there is no way on earth she can hurt a fly." I muttered repeatedly to myself before offering to help. Now am Standing in between doing a surgery for the first time,i think am going to faint.

I pace up and down the hall my hands deep down my pant pocket. "Should I try " there is no way I can do it. What if she dies,she's not some kind of a pet anyone can easily forget. Even so I can't.

"Do the surgery."

"What...?"

"Yes Maison you will do it."

"Mum,are u crazy?am a vet."

"Yes,you are a Doctor, and you gonna do it Maison."

"No mum,I just graduated."

"And you have a license,don't you?"

"I do mum,but?

"No but,I didn't give birth to a fool."

"You have no idea mum,the setting has to be in a theatre and performed by a skilled cardiothoracic surgeon,that's not who I am."

"Of course I do have an idea,a life needs to be saved,that's all I know now."

"Oh mum."

"Son she's gonna die if you don't try."

"There's is no trial in medicine,if you know you know." I can't do this mum,am sorry I might just fail if I try".he slumped on the hospital chair and burried his head in his hands."even if I want to try we need a theatre,equipment and more hands,a Dr or two at least.

That's not a problem"I picked my phone and dialed my ex husbands managers number,whatever I need to do to get Mynah back on her feet,apparently I feel like the reason she's here. "Close the hospital for the next twenty four hours and send in securities." That was the first time I was making an attempt to reach Cameron in four years,with all the things I have to say to him all I started with was a command."will I ever change"I thought for a moment. "Hold back the tears,you are strong,you are beautiful,your are wonderful,God is your victory and he loves you" I said repeatedly to myself before turning to look at my son. His all grown up like his Dad, a son that has been a pillar is a great blessing. I have never been disappointed in him and I won't have a reason too. As long as God is still God and he hasn't fallen from his throne we will always have a reason to worship him.

"God please save Mynahs life." I pleaded.

Mrs Hannah,your ex husband is here"Peggy called out."tell him to remain outside we need less distraction right now."Maison ordered. "Wait...Cameron is suppose to be in Indian,how did he get here so fast.". I sighed. "Mum,you know Dad he always does what he wants,and we came back together,I wanted to tell you but then this..."Maison told me.

For a moment in a long time I felt weak on my knees,was it the fear that am meeting the man I left for years or the surgery that was about to start,"whatever it is we are good"I try to kick of the thought from my head.

Peggy changed her and got her ready with my help and instructions from Maison while he put together the necessary equipment needed. Peggy blinked severally to stop her tears"we might just get arrested if anything goes wrong,am so scared.what if she doesn't make it Mrs Hannah. "
"Shush my dear,shush. Everything's going to be fine just pray for her right now,that what she needs." I pulled her into a hug reassuring her.
