The Amazing son- in -law!

CONFUSION

Amelia woke up early to get ready to visit the hospital She did not have enough money and was trying to solicit funds from the family

members. The little she had was used on Jenny's hospital bill. As Steve wife's, she must show the world that she cares.

" Why are you sleeping wake up," Amelia knocked rampantly on the boy's door. Sleepy Todd opened the door and stepped out, And She got in.

" Jamal I need my twenty thousand now?" Amelia Shouted, He was a heavy sleeper and he had not even heard the knock or the shouting, So She shook him up and She woke up with his fists clenched ready to fight.

" My Ninja boy, Keep your skills to yourself, where is my money? Amelia asked throwing hands At him, Jamal unclenched his fists and relaxed to digest what this woman was shouting about this early morning, stretching hands on him as if he owned her.

" My Money, stop wasting my time, I need to be in the hospital now," Amelia yelled. Jamal woke up checked the jeans he wore last night and gave her some cash without counting and he sneaked out on the corridors as she counted.

" How much is this? I said twenty thousand, not twelve thousand," Only for her to look up and find herself alone in the room talking to the beds, sometimes it's just that am not considerate and I pressure him much but 12k is enough. I even thought he will do five thousand maximum!! I wonder who got robbed.

" Why can't you let us late risers sleep, why the upheaval?" Eunice asked, still in her night dress, when they met in the corridors

" Since when did a small commotion get you up from your bed Mother? And where are you going?" Amelia asked perturbed to find her in the hallway when she stepped out of the boy's room.

" I need a cup of coffee!".

" Wow! Did you get drunk last night?".

" Had a few gulps with the upcoming member of parliament," Eunice nodded.

"So you got enough campaign money, help me out I need to get Steve out of the hospital," She begged.

" Why not let him stay there, do you still need him," Eunice's side glanced at her and frowned.

" yes, our contract is a year and a half, so legally we are husband and wife," Amelia replied.

" What does that got to do with anything?".

" That's how to use that Money without being judged, a wife uses her husband's money, So if he ever gets his Memory back, I won't look like I was embezzling his cash," Amelia explained.

" Because you fear he is connected to big people right," Eunice asked.

" Or himself is someone big in this Country or he came from abroad, ever listened to his English, it's not this stupid English we learned at school, he was born speaking it," Amelia said sitting in Steve's Chair at the kitchen as he Mother brewed a coffee.

" Am not sure where you got that theory from but that Steve is a loser, he has autistic signs, his brain is abnormal, how do you explain that?" Eunice asked sighing and sheering, she disliked him it's only that he was their money-generating machine she would throw him out anytime.

" I understand you Mother, you loathe the poor and people without a class but Steve is not poor, it's his image you hate," Amelia said tapping on the shelves with a spoon.

" I want to hold a party soon and I must keep him strictly in the kitchen," Eunice stared with an emotionless face.

" You will tell me all about it later, so how much are you giving me?".

" I got 10k I saved but you must return it to me!".Eunice said.

" Of course, I will," Amelia grabbed her from behind and hugged her tightly then pecked her on the cheeks " You are a life saviour, thank you, Mammy,".

" That's 22k plus my five, 27 k today's withdrawal and yesterday that's twenty, so if he has to be there till tomorrow then, I got no problem," Amelia did her Maths as she went to get ready in her room.

Thirty minutes later she was pulling to the hospital's parking lot, wearing a green straight skirt slightly above the knee, with a black fancy top that draped to her bum in a V-contour, With Clear strapped stilettos, she walked majestically along the hallway to the receptionist.

" Can I see my Husband he is in the room right," She asked.

" You have to take a seat and wait, the doctors are doing their rounds," The receptionist said.

"Did they take him to surgery, I came with the Money?" Amelia asked.

" It says so, he was in for a long time but he is out of danger now," The receptionist emphasised, "Weren't you here last night?".

Amelia shook her head, in disagreement then said" I was trying to raise his funds, where should I pay?". This woman is asking a lot of stupid questions and the way she is staring at me like am some useless wife.

" A wife not present at her husband's surgery, what kind of a woman are you? wearing noisy shoes distracts us from our duty as you step down, Grow up woman? " The receptionist looked her up and down, then sneered," Pay there!". She pointed at the cashier's directions.

" Am sorry Ma'am," Amelia said to her, she was a bit older and no matter how cruel, she was not ready to argue with a woman her Mothers age, After all, she was not present that's the reality.

" Can I pay for Steve walker's bill," Amelia asked.

" let me check how much you got to pay," The cashier replied and got busy with his keyboard and mouse!

" Ma'am you said who?" He asked.

" Steve Walker sir," Amelia said.

" His bill is paid, a total of 100k was paid, after his surgery last night," The Cashier said", Anything else?

" Do you have the name of the person who paid?" Amelia asked furrowing her brows.

" It says a well-wisher, who felt mercy for the poor man could have lost his life if the surgery was not performed in time", The Cashier read out loud.

Amelia went to her previous seat at the waiting bay, she was confused, where did well-wishers come from at night, why did he pay a whole lot of money when the hospital needed only 50 k? Something is not right here! She went back to the cashier's stand.

" Excuse me and sorry for nagging, why did he pay all that amount, the hospital had asked for 50 k only," Amelia inquired.

" Fifty thousand was upfront, not the whole bill, the amount per last night was eighty thousand but the well-wishers asked for the clots to be removed too, that's why it hiked to a hundred.," He clarified, that Amelia was astonished, with her head down and fingers on her mouth she returned to her waiting chair.

who is this guy ?who did I get involved too maybe he's a very prominent person,I have to check out myself ,, f the well-wisher paid for anyone else in this hospital or it was just him,I hope I have not gotten myself into trouble because if he happens to be some Mafia-like Jenny insinuated, when he gets his memory back then I'll be in trouble something is hidden and I can't grasp on it and I'm sure the same people who dumped him at the Craven's must be the same who came up to pay his bills meaning they know where he stays and what is happening to him but that can't be true ,if they do follow us they will know that I keep all the money and I'm using it to get my club up and running and they could have intervened by now soon it will be a million shillings that's not an amount any man most rare mafia can keep quiet on so let me just relax and go see him I'll think about it later with Jenny, She was lost on her own thoughts and did not even heed as the receptionist gave her a go ahead to visit her sick husband.

" Hey woman I said the doctors are finished, you can go see him now, hope you brought him something to eat," She startled her, and she stood up and darted towards room number eight.

" Such women don't deserve to be married," Amelia heard the old woman receptionist curse, she turned and gave her this look, that says" Mind your own business" And she disappeared In the hallway Happy to have gotten out of that woman's presence.

She knocked softly and got inside after a very weak come-in voice.

" Am sorry I did not come back last night, I had to get cash to pay for your bills," Amelia excused herself and sat next to his bed, took his arm and squeezed it a bit showing affection.

" The lord is on our side, Someone paid for the bill, what have you brought me?" Steve asked moaning with pain in each turn.

" How are you feeling," Amelia asked sadly.

" Am not well but am starving, I need to eat something, the doctors said it's good for my tissues to repair the damage," Steve replied raising his shirt and showing him the numerous laser cuts he had at a point he almost shed a tear, he was supposed to pretend that he was not well, so he could stay there till the five days are over.

Amelia could not look at the cuts they seemed raw and she did not like their sight, she felt for him for being in such discomfort, and continued to stroke his hand.

" What would you like to eat, I will call Todd and ask him to bring you some food," Amelia said softly. Then the doctor entered.

"You must be Amelia, Steve's wife, great to meet you, so have you brought food, he needs to eat to heal fast," The doctor said scrutinizing her head to toe.

" Steve just told me, " Amelia replied shyly.

" Next time don't abandon the sick, we're it not for the well-wishers he would be dead?" The doctor said, " He needs lots of protein so fish, beef, and chicken would do for now,".

" Someone is bringing the food now as we speak doctor, thank you so much, I will speak to you later, but for how long is he supposed to be here," Amelia inquired.

" Minimum five days, if he is not well by then we can add the days," The doctor told her, he had been asked for a favour and he was doing fine so far." Fibbing to protect a sick person is not a mistake.

"Thank you, doctor, I appreciate that you agreed for the Wisher to help my husband," Amelia said.

" With his malnourished state he needed it, and God sent him a destiny connector, that woman was just doing her rounds giving out messages of hope and she happened to come across him and Steve spoke well he captured her heart," The doctor explained and left.

Amelia checked on Steve who had closed his eyes like he was asleep but was listening to every word the doctor spoke, and it got him so confused, did the Guy who helped him ask him to lie like so Maybe for Amelia not try to check him out, He knew she was a bad person and was disguising well to throw her out of his way.

The doctor had asked him to ask for food from his wife, that's because she had refused to offer him any food yet she had Money. And he was just here to make sure the food will be brought.

" Did you meet this woman?" Amelia asked.

" Yes, she was standing right there praying for me, she was white, she said I spoke her English, I requested her to pay for my bills and God will bless her, She did not hesitate, by then the injections were not working and my rib was still bleeding internally, broken and cracked ribs, " He lied", I was in pain and I wished death would visit me instead".

" God forbid you can't die am still your wife and I value you much, God can't punish me with your death," Amelia said snapping her fingers eyes wide

" How is Jenny," Steve asked.

" She is at home, still in bed I guess, but well, she was treated and sent home yesterday," Amelia said.

''if you see this woman will you know her," Amelia asked?

" There are two people we don't forget about however crazy we look, a person who helped you out and a person who made you suffer," Steve sighed and hissed touching his ribs.

Then Todd entered carrying a plastic bag, he did not greet Steve he just stood there and got sad Shaking his head.

" Make sure he has eaten am going back home, I need to be somewhere, so keep an eye on him," Amelia shrugged off, she winked at Steve, smiled and she left.

" Hey Buddy, how are you feeling," Todd asked sitting and raising his bed, and giving him a plate of food," Am sorry that happened to you and I could not do anything,".

" It's not your fault, eat with me, I know you are starving too," Steve invited him to eat, he was staring at the food hungrily. He needed it too.

" Thank you, I will just be biting on it, you need it more than I do," Todd said and he plated a small amount Of beef rice, a piece of chicken and some bread, and they are together quietly.
