BROOKLYN MEDICAL INSTITUTE
A rescue team was immediately called to save the victims.
Elizabeth was saved but Mr. Klein couldn't make it alive.
Elizabeth was sent to the nearest hospital and was confirmed safe with her baby.
The last thing she heard from her husband was the name of their unborn child "Denise".
Elizabeth couldn't helped but cried out her eyes but that cannot bring back her husband.
She cried for days with no one to console her. It dawn on her that she had no one else apart from her husband.
Her husband's family never liked her and called her an witch when the unfortunate happened.
She was accused of killing her husband.
On the day of the funeral, Elizabeth got ready and went to mourn her husband for the last time before he was buried.
Upon reaching the entrance, a voice was heard.
"Stay right there.
On who's permission do you think you can be here?" Klein's mother roared
"Do I need permission to mourn my late husband.
He is my husband and am with his child. We ought to be her"
"You killed my son and you dared to show your face here with that bastard you're carrying.
No one knows about any marriage between you two. Liar.Security drag this witch out of her immediately”. she retorted.
Tears flowed from Elizabeth's eyes as she was dragged away from the funeral grounds.
All kind of eyes where gazing at her. Some with pity, others disdain.
Within a week, all properties belonging to his late husband was confiscated by her husband's family leaving her with nothing.
She was droved away from the house she once lived with her husband
Luckily for her, there was a house she and only her husband knew of.
She stayed there and started her bakery business and that was her source of income and livelihood till she gave birth to Denise.
Things where going well for them until Elizabeth was diagnosed of stomach cancer when Dennis was ready to go to tertiary.
All the money they had and earned from the bakery business was used to pay hospital bills due to Elizabeth's prolonged stay at the hospital and no help from anyone.
This made Denise to stay home for about two years though she had being gaining admission despite being a bright student.
Now, with another chance in hand, Denise stood on the edge of her dream — but the cost felt like a wall she could not climb.
Elizabeth, Denise mother saw her daughter and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.''
Denise I`m so happy and proud you made it this far. You're finally going to be a medical doctor.
"Mom, how did you pay for the fees"?
"Come on Dennis, don't be s kill joy". [They both laughed]
"Get ready. I have booked a cab for you already".
"Thanks mom. Mom please call me if anything happens and please don't forget to go to the hospital weekly for your checkups.
“Yes mom" Elizabeth teased.
"Yoo, good bye my daughter " Denise played along.
They both laughed in unison.
Denise reached the entrance of the institute and was astonished by the beauty of the building.
St. Louis medical institute is one of the best medical institutes in New York City with overwhelming awards for producing best and incredible medical doctors.
The school is known for its slogan "discipline is our hallmark".
It's an plus A school because only billionaires and A+ students attend the school which causes a division among the students according to their parents net worth.
So, students who are not wealthy but bright are mostly found in the group of the "inferior complex" and always mostly looked down upon mostly called the nerds.
Sometimes ago a brilliant but poor students was bullied to the extent the girl.
Got fed up and was on the brink of committing suicide.
Fortunately, a college in her 'league' saw her on time and was able to save her.
The disturbed girl ended up calling it a quit.
She never completed and ended up in asylum for observation and treatment.
The school reprimanded the culprit for what he did and was sacked with immediate effect.
The affluence of parents doesn't move the school to conceal such offences.
"Knocking."
"Yes, enter."
"Good morning Sir. Please am a fresher and am here to submit my documents as required.“
"Ohh you are Denise?"
"Yes please. "
"I have heard a lot about you from your previous school, your results and your testimonial are excellent.
I'm looking forward to seeing you being a great and good doctor". The director said.
“Thank you Sir. Am also looking forward to having a great time here. I will take my leave now Sir".
After submitting her documents and doing some rounds as required Denise located her hostel and unpacked her things.
She took a quick bath and slumped on her bed. She slept like a baby not caring about the matters of the world.
At around 8'O clock in the evening she woke up refreshed had something to eat.
"Oops I haven't heard from my mom yet."
She placed a call.
"Beep, beep, beep".
"M-o-m, where you planning on not picking my call? So you have not missed me."
"Dennis my love, I was a little busy at the bakery shop. How are you doing?
Hope all is well there? Have you eaten"?
Elizabeth asked.
"Ma Lizzbeth, come down. Okay which question should I tackle first'?
They both laughed in unison.
"Mom is fine. I'm just worried about you and there is something I want to discuss with you."
"I'm fine my dear. Go on."
"Mom I heard the school offers a scholarship for brilliant but needy students and am looking forward to applying.
My previous academic performance will be assessed as well as my one year performance in the school.
My CGPA will be assessed in accordance with the scholarship protocols. Mom I have to get this in other to lift the weight on your head."
“Denise, are you worried I can't take care of you?
"Mom it's not like that. Mom I should be taking care of you now.
I don't want you to be pressuring yourself at this your stage.
Mom I appreciate you for being my mom, you take care of me from infancy till now. It's time I lift off some weight off your shoulders."
"No my child, I want you to know that I will always be there for you at all times.
Whatever you put your mind or hands on will be a success"
"Thanks mom, this is what I need from you. You have to be strong for me to be stronger. I will continue to make you proud mom."
"By the way, when are you getting a boyfriend?"
Elizabeth smiled.
"M-o-m, not this conversation again. I see you don't want to talk to me again. Bye"
Denise hanged up hearing laughter from the other end.
The morning was bright.
Light shown her face through the window curtains making Denise to frown her face.
She realized it was time for lectures. She got up dressed up and was ready for class.
She looked herself up in the mirror "first impression creates a conducive atmosphere".
Upon entering campus, she saw a lot of students also going for lectures.
Some male students saw her and couldn't take their eyes off her .
One student couldn't just stare but exclaimed in awe.
“She’s so beautiful". One student said.
Denise is a beautiful young lady with an exquisite curvy body of a Coca-Cola shape.
Well-endowed, with both front and back.
She has a milky and flawless skin, very pretty with bulky blue eyes and plump lips with two dimples at each side of her cheeks.
Denise is indeed pretty. Anyone who sees her must look at her the second time.
She wore a black Denim trouser, a blue t-shirt which complemented her eyes, and white Nike sneakers.
Her hairstyle is a stunning short dark curly haircut with partition.
Her skin looks like it has been intentionally polished which makes her stunning and exceptional.
She smiled at them and passed because she was running late for class.
When she entered her class everyone stared at her.
Others were impressed with her beauty whiles other where jealous.
"Hi, the name is Jane, nice to meet you".
"Hello am Denise, it's a pleasure".
"You look beautiful. It can't be denied but am straight". Jane revealed.
They both laughed.
“Thanks so much [Den-i-se smiled revealing her beautiful dimples]. You look beautiful as well.
"Can we be friends"? Jane asked.
"Of course we can."
Jane jumped with joy. "Yippee".
Few moments later the lecturer entered and started his course which was Anatomy and physiology.
It was boring for some people but for others it was an interesting course.
Denise on the other hand enjoyed the class whiles her new friend slept throughout the lecture.
Immediately the lecturer said "we will meet another time", Jane yawned waking up and rubbing her eyes.
Denise looked at her and smiled.
The class ended and they were waiting for another lecturer when her phone rang.
Denise froze when she saw the caller ID.
