Mr Leonard was really touched by her tears
I will give it to you, I am not loaning it to you,I am going to give you five million naira, pay for her surgery and use the remaining one million naira for whatever other things she needs to get. Mr Leonard said.
Still on her knees,she couldn't believe her ears, you're really going to give me the money for her surgery. "Thank you very much sir,God bless you abundantly sir, Your pocket shall never run dry in Jesus name"
Enough with the prayers, write down your Account number on this sheet of paper and I will transfer five million naira once I'm done with this. (reaches for a piece of paper and gave it to her)
She wrote down her account details, Thank you very much sir God bless you.
"Abigail I am doing this favor for a reason best known to me,just bear in mind that you owe me one favor as well, it's nothing to worry about, very soon you will get to know'
"Ok sir,no problem sir, I will do anythinge you need me to do for you, once again thank you very much sir, I really appreciate it" she said and left his room.
She got to her room, she was very happy.
"Thank you Jesus, I can't believe this, so I just spoke to him about it and he just a greed to give me the money for my mom's hospital bills just like that"
But he mentioned needing a favor in exchange for this. I just hope he is not also getting sexually attracted to me like his best friend (Mr Charles), what if he is just trying to get me into his bed for his s****l pleasures. (she thought to herself)
Even if he is trying to sleep with me, For a man that paid for my mom's hospital bills,a whooping sum of 5 million naira, if he asks to sleep with me, I will probably just do it
She was trying really hard to figure out what favor it could be that her boss wants from her,but she just couldn't place it.
A message notification popped up on her phone, it was a bank alert sms, her boss sent her the five million naira as promiseb. She couldn't believe her eyes
She dialed the doctor number immediately.
Hello, miss Abigail (doctor over the phone)

"No problem miss Abigail, put your mind at rest, we will do our best to save her life.

She went upstairs to inform her boss that she will be leaving for Ibadan right away to sort out her mother's hospital bills and be there till the end of the surgery.
"You can go, extend my greetings to everyone,and I wish your mother a successful surgery session" Mr Leonard said.
Amen, Thank you very much sir, God bless you sir, Once again thank you very much for helping me with the money sir, I promise to return every dime sir.
"I never said I borrowed you the money, i gave it to you willingly but be rest assured that I have My hidden agenda, let's save the talk till when you come back, you can take ur leave now, stay safe" Mr Leonard replied.
She left for Akure, the journey took about 4 hours, she got to the hospital location around 2pm, she spoke to receptionist and she was directed to a nurse, she spoke with the nurse, described her mom to her and the nurse took her to the emergency room.
