The next day in the private hospital room of Grace Julius. Mr John Julius and Sandra was with her.
" I really thought there will be some miracle". Grace said as she sighed.
"Mom, please take it easy" Sandra said.
Just after Sandra Julius finished speaking, the hospital room door opened as Jess Baron greeted the Julius elders and sat down on the chair beside Mrs Grace Julius.
"Good day Mr Baron and thank you again for the bills". Grace said in gratitude.
" Its okay. You collapsed in my office and people were beginning to make insinuations that I cost it, so I had to do what I have to do". Jess replied with a smile.
Mrs Grace Julius also smiled and said, "it's not your fault. I have a record of high blood pressure".
" Oh really". Jess said staring at Mr John Julius.
"Okay mom, I really have to go now to move some of our things in uncle's house". Sandra said to her mom standing up to leave.
" Not so fast" Jess Baron said.
John Julius countenance changed and he asked Jess, ' are you also going to take my furniture and other belongings in the house Mr Baron'.
Jess Baron smiled and replied to Mr Julius. "Well I have a proposition to make to your family".
" Which is". John asked.
"I will pay your debt". Jess said.
The Julius family was surprised and looked at each other.
" But there is a catch, a little one. Sandra marries me". He said.
The Julius family was shocked with what Jess said.

Inside the hospital compound. Jess Baron and Sandra Julius were standing and talking.
" I can't marry you. I have someone that I love". Sandra said.
" Oh really, why didn't he pay your father's debt".Jess asked in a jokingly way.
Sandra glared at him and said, ' He is a medical doctor'.
Jess smiled and said, "really, that's cool. I thought you were going to be smart enough to grab this opportunity. The truth is I don't need you to secure my inheritance but you need me to remedy the situation. You have made your choice. Do quick to get your belongings packed. I will send someone to inspect the house tomorrow morning".
Jess Baron left Sandra standing there as he walked away.
