The Unbreakable Bond of Attraction

AT THE COLLINS' RESIDENCE ln accordance with the doctor's instructions, I was at his office that faithful day with my precious little niece (Joanna). My sister and I had always been in a fight for as long as she could remember. But Joanna's arrival changed everything. She held Joanna's hands and said, "Thank you, Joanna, If you hadn't arrived, probably one of us would have killed the other by now." I promised you that as soon as we find out what the problem is, I will make sure that you're whole again. AT THE JOHNSON'S RESIDENCE This reunion is by far the best one ever, especially because we have among someone whom neither of us thought could survive child birth. But God Almighty in His abundance mercy did not only allow Emma to survive but also this charming little angel. Everyone meets our Emma and her miracle child. Emma's father proudly introduced his only daughter and her family, who just came back from the United States, where they were residing. Everyone was overjoyed to have them back home after such a long time. But mostly because of the cute little girl called (EGG). Besides, not only was EGG a cute toddler, but she was also adorable and very smart, probably too smart for a child of her age. Everyone who came in contact with her fell in love with her instantly. Well, everyone except her uncle "Daniel Taylor." He is the husband to her Dad's elder sister (Alvina Johnson Taylor) and the father of the twins (Diana and Dennis) At the closing of her parent's speech, they gifted baby EGG with acres of lands that were worth over millions of dollars. The other grandchildren also received gifts, but none was as compared to EGG'S. After the distribution, Daniel resentment for little EGG became even worsened. She was just three years old, and yet her shared of the properties was the most valuable. How could they give her the same quantity as all compared to the rest of the children's combined? Today, I will have to bring to end this unfairness. Daniel told himself. JOANNA AND CYNTHIA AT THE HOSPITAL Hello, little Princess. and hello lovely auntie. Hello, to you too, doctor. So what do you have for us? we are so excited that our baby boo is finally going to be fine and healthy. Joanna gave he a hug. Guess what, Doctor! She said. After here, we're going to get me some stuff for school. Can you believe it? I am starting pre-school.... Which, by the way I don't plan on staying long in there because I am super smart. Do you want to learn how to spell new words? Well, if you want, i can teach you new words. Sweetheart, I would love to but, I have so much trouble with words, especially new ones. But, my assistant could watch you for a while. While I speak with your auntie. Is that okay with you? Well, for how many minutes will she be with me? Because one minute is $10.00. Dollars. For watching me. Joanna sweetie, the doctor was asking if you could stay with his assistant for a while. Because he wants us to talk about your results. Auntie Cynthia, I am aware of what he want, that is why he has to pay $ 10.00 Dollars for one. Wait, did I hear you say she needs to pay you $ 10.00 for a minute? But why? Duh, because of the service she will receive. Trust me, she will learn a lot of things from me. I will teach her to sing and to dance and to.... I guess that's all she needs to learn. Okay, you said one minute is ten dollars, right? So how much am I supposed to pay for ten minutes? Mmm.. let count it.... 1, 2,...3.. Sweetie, do you want Auntie Cynthia to do the math for you? Uh- uhu! I am a pre-school student. Have you forgotten? I sure know how to count to ten. Here how it's done; you count all of your fingers, until you get to ten. So his bill is $10.00. Ten fingers, ten minutes and then he gets to pay the $ 10.00. Joanna's seriousness was something else. I couldn't stop laughing. Fair enough, here is your $10.00, Teacher. But, I have a question for you. What if she doesn't learn the songs and the dance within ten minutes? Will you give me back my money? WHAT??? Give you back the money? Auntie Cynthia, can I ask you something? Now that you've paid my school fees, what if there's an accident and I died, will they give you your money back? I don’t know how the Doctor understood this question, or did he forget that she was just a child? Because he panicked and his entire expression changed immediately like one who secret has been uncovered. Even Joanna saw through him. So she immediately tried to modify her question by adding.. Or, maybe I did not die, but I refused to learn what my teacher taught me. Wow, what a brilliant question. and you're right. Turning to his assistant, he said: Madam, you heard her tuitions are not refundable, so I expect you to learn everything. At this point, everyone busts out into laughter. As we walk into the next room, I was glad that I recorded all that moment because it was super cute. I knew this video could cheer her parents up, so I sent it to Joshua. Well, we have some news, but firstly, this is one of our good counselors. She will just have a five minute conversation with you before we proceed. Thanks for the offer, but I don't want to do that now, maybe some other time. I just want to hear what you have to say. We do understand, but if you can't, then we recommend that you at least call a friend or a relative to come over? Come on, Doc. I am more of a mother to her than my sister is, and besides, I am the toughest one in the family. So you can tell me whatever it is. I promised to handle it very calmly. Well, if you insist, Miss Cynthia. We are sorry to inform you that Joanna had a very complicated disorder (Congenital Heart defect). A congenital heart defect is classed as a cardiovascular disease. It is a problem with the structure of the heart that a child can be born with. Some congenital heart defects in children are simple and don't need treatment. Okay? I am relieved, I thought you discovered something worse. So, meaning we need to have surgery soon, right? She won't be needing surgery. You see, Joanna's case is one of the complex ones. Doctor, don't worry about the money, it is not a problem, we can pay any amount you request in the blink of an eye. All we need to do for us is just to fix her. Am afraid, but we can't, and neither can any other hospital in the country. what do you mean, Doctor? Help me understand because I'm kinda confused. Joanna was born with this disease, which she might have inherited from one of her parents. Critical congenital heart defects (also called critical CHDs or critical congenital heart disease) are the most serious congenital heart defects. Babies with critical CHDs need surgery or other treatment within the first year of life. Without treatment, critical CHDs can cause serious health problems and death. She's not been treated over the years, which is why surgery is not an option now except some drug prescriptions and a special routine. Which could extend her days. Hehe. I giggle. It is a prank, right? Because there's no one with such condition in our family. Miss Cynthia, I really wish that I was kidding, but I am serious. You can see the scan right here and her results summary. Are you... you, saying, that my Joanna... may..... I.. I mean that... She could... die from this? He, nob his he, as an affirmation. I grabbed the result's folder, yelled at him, and started calling him all sorts of names. "You are a liar! It is not true!
