Kiara and Shona got to the hospital.
Shona went to the reception where about five nurses were.
“Please, I’m here to see Becker Anderson.”
The nurse asked,
“Who are you to her?”
“Um, I’m her niece’s friend.”
The nurse frowned slightly.
“Who is her niece?”
“Zora Anderson.”
The nurse checked the file in front of her.
Although there was no Zora Anderson listed, there was a Becker Anderson who had been transferred to their hospital.
The nurse looked back at Shona with a smile.
“Ward sixteen, VIP second floor.”
Shona thanked her and both she and Kiara went to the second floor through the elevator.
“Ding!”
The elevator opened.
Shona and Kiara walked out.
Immediately they saw Zora being wheeled by a nurse into a room.
They walked as fast as they could to catch up, but before they reached it the door was already closed.
They looked up at the sign above the door and found out it was an X-ray room.
They were at the radiology department which was at the east wing.
They looked toward the west wing which was the ICU unit, so they went there.
They asked a nurse for VIP ward sixteen, knocked and then entered.
There they saw Auntie Becker peeling tangerines.
When Auntie Becker heard the knock she looked up and saw Shona and another girl walk in.
Auntie Becker frowned, not because of the girl who came in with Shona, but because she thought Shona had hidden the fact that Zora had gotten into an accident.
An idea came to mind.
She replaced the earlier frown with a grin.
“Shonaaa, come here.”
Shona smiled and walked closer to Auntie Becker.
Something flashed in Auntie Becker’s eyes.
“Come closer, dear.”
Shona went closer and the moment she did her ear was grabbed tightly by Auntie Becker.
“Ouch!
Ouch!
Ouch!”
Auntie Becker ignored her screams.
“How dare you lie to me that night.”
Shona felt a chill. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
Auntie Becker hated being lied to.
But Shona could not think of anything other than the fact that she had betrayed her best friend with her fiancé.
She looked at Auntie Becker with red watery eyes.
Had Auntie Becker found out?
Shona’s fear settled when she heard Auntie Becker say,
“The night I asked you where Zora was, you told me she was safe, right?”
Shona nodded, but her ear was still firmly held by Auntie Becker.
“You still dare to lie to me at this point, huh?”
“I’ll make sure you lose an ear today.”
“Auntie I’m sorry… sorry!”
The pain in her ear became unbearable.
Auntie Becker was really strong.
She looked soft and feminine but her strength was like that of a man.
Shona knew better than to try to escape from Auntie Becker, because she might really lose an ear if she tried.
Kiara did not want to get involved in their banter, but she felt pity for Shona because her face and ear had turned red and she was crying real tears.
Shona’s heart went to her mouth.
Auntie Becker might really make her lose an ear.
Somehow, as if the heavens also had pity on her, Zora wheeled in and saw the scene.
Of course she did not go too close to Auntie Becker or she would become a replacement.
“You said she was safe, but look at her, seated on a wheelchair.”
Auntie Becker finally said the reason why Shona was being punished.
Shona on the other hand was shocked to hear that Zora was seated on a wheelchair.
The same question that popped up in everyone’s head when they saw Zora in a wheelchair also popped up in Shona’s head.
Was Zora crippled?
Viktor’s eyes went back again to the name, spelled clearly.
Zora Anderson.
He wondered, apart from Zora’s beauty, why would someone spend so much money to get her?
He leaned back on his chair.
It was undeniable that Zora’s beauty could make one go crazy.
He thought of the cons first.
If he signed the contract and also made Zora sign it, Zora would hate him for life.
Then he thought, she already hated him, so not signing the contract would make him lose over a billion dollars.
She did not even want to marry him.
Then the pros.
If he did not sign the contract then Zora would still be his and would have no choice but to marry him.
But if he did sign it, he would lose Zora but still get to be a billionaire as compensation.
The greedy nature of man surged up in Viktor’s blood.
The money would go a long way for him.
He could expand his boutique, completely cut himself off from the Rolf family and even open one of the largest textile industries in Pink Country.
That was a good profit over a girl.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Zora with a wide grin. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
Still in the VIP room, Zora explained to Auntie Becker from a safe distance that Shona knew nothing about her legs.
She waited until Auntie Becker released Shona’s ear.
Shona quickly got away from Auntie Becker.
She looked at Zora wondering what had happened to her legs, because from Zora’s explanation Shona’s question was already answered that Zora was not crippled.
Her mind went back to that night when she saw Zora crawling on the floor.
She remembered that Zora could not stand on her own.
Even when they had a fight Zora was on the floor.
Was that when she had sprained her ankles?
Zora saw that her auntie was no longer within reach.
She wheeled herself closer and handed the X-ray scan to Auntie Becker.
“The doctor said I’ll no longer have to sit on the wheelchair.
They’ll give me crutches to speed up my healing process.”
While she was reassuring Auntie Becker her phone buzzed.
She opened it and saw that it was a message from Viktor.
She looked at her auntie.
“Ah, I almost forgot, it’s time for my physiotherapy session.”
Of course everyone believed her and no one followed her.
She used the elevator.
The hospital was designed in a way that there was a canteen inside where most people went to eat, especially visitors.
Zora wheeled into the canteen.
It was as crowded as the canteen back when she was in high school.
Speaking of high school, Zora’s eyes turned watery.
She hadn’t been in a canteen since her graduation from high school.
Being able to be in a canteen once again made Zora very emotional.
But that ended when she spotted Viktor.
She wheeled toward him, preparing countless insults and words to say, but when she got to him, before she could say a word he said,
“I’m not going to waste time because I’m busy myself.”
As he said this he brought out a blue file and kept it on the table.
A crease formed between her brows as she asked,
“What’s this?”
“It’s obviously a file.”
He opened it and then pushed it toward Zora.
“All you have to do is sign and then everything you owe me would be forgotten.”
“And you don’t need to worry, the marriage will also be cancelled.”
“You can look below, I’ve already signed.”
Zora leaned back on her wheelchair.
“Do you think I’m foolish, Viktor?”
“Just because you said it I’ll believe you and put down my signature?”
She tucked her hair behind her ear.
