Sold To Mr President

Ruby had drank from Xavier’s cup and the worst thing had happened. She passed out and a whitish foam was coming out of her mouth. As the mug came out of her hands, the liquid poured on her body as she passed out of anxiety.

Xavier panicked and rushed towards the lady’s side. He was startled and feared the fact that the lady might die.

“Ruby? are you there? open your eyes lady, I think you can here me, just don’t leave me, please,” Xavier called out sweetly as he tapped the lady’s cheeks lightly with his large palms.

Nothing was happening, and that caused the young man to panic.

It was a matter of time before the body guards rushed into house not checking to know what that was. Xavier carried the lady in his arms, she was limp in his grasp but he didn’t not mind at all, the lady’s life did matter.

Several questions popped into Xavier’s mind already, why would a lady she just saved try killing him? like seriously, he didn’t find it funny at all, everytime he tried reasoning the issue out, it didn’t help him at all. Instead, things were complicated, and the more he tried wrapping his mind around this issue, it didn’t work out for him as well.

“Open the car for me please, Ruby is dying,” Xavier called out in his thick voice.

He wanted to be the driver of the car, but Matthew was already there, thus, there isn’t much to do right there.

Heaving a gentle sigh, the man now placed the lady in the car and as if that is not enough, he entered inside the car as he assisted the lady’s head. For a slight Moment, the young man’s conscience judged him, he knew that things aren’r working the way he had wanted it, and in case he ever opens his moutjto breathe a word to the police, then, that will mean thet Ruby willl have to go to prison__ unless she choses to say the truth and liberate herself from this drama.

“Faster Matt, take us to the hospital fast,” Xavier muttered out.

He just wanted them to reach the hospital, at this point in time, the only thing that mattered to the young man’s life as just to arrive the hospital and now. What just happened this is evening had let him in awe, Ruby had being so stupid to put all that Liquid knowing fully well that it is poisoned, unless she just wanted to terminate her life.

Ruby looked pale, all the color from her face had disappeared allowing only a patch of liquid to reach her. That was awkward and the more he tried his best on placing these things in his mind, Xavier found out that it was being impossible. More than anything he felt like in the world.

Finally, they arrived the hospital, and that is the worst thing that had ever happened to her. The fact that a stretcher was immediately brought and the lady transferred to it, Xavier’s heart was now pounding. He knew that something had happened with Ruby and it is from the fact that she had gulped a large quantity from the tea. ‘If she hAd poisoned it, why did she drink it then?’ Xavier wondered faintly.

He was truly tired of all these things, they didn’t quite make a lot of aense t him. He was now mad at himself, he feared for his life, for the fact Ruby was clearly trying to kill him.

Several questions popped into the young man’s mind, he didn’t know if that was staged or a mede concidence, but then, unless the doctor tells him what that was, he wouldnot he satisfied. As he brushed his mind from these things, the young man tried walking towards ths emergency room but was shocked when they blocked him outside. For a moment, his heartbeat accelerated, that was kind of awkward as he raised his brows quizically.

“I am sorry, Mr. Barley, but you will have to stay her for a moment is you do not mind, he apologized as he entered the room not waiting for the man to reply. As the do for shut the door, Xavier had this pang of guilt that stroke her entire body. That was weird, but then, he couldn’t even control his entire body, it made hin to be frightened but apart from that, what more can he do about it? he wondered faintly.

The evening had being consumed, and when he lifted his watch to check at the time, it was one a. m. in the morning. He didn’t quite know what to think about especially when it has not being long he got here, yet it felt like forever. He truly doesn’t understand how things work in this hospital an it was the same hospital that his brother collins is in.

For a moment, Xavier thought about walking towards Collins ward, but on a second thought, he didn’t want anything to happen to her, it didn’t quite make a lot of sense, but then, on a second note, he decided to walk towards it. Xavier has a pure heart and leaving with Collins for the past few years, he loves every moment they spend together, although he can be one pain in the ass, but then, coming back to Douala is one situation that he can’t get his mind away from it.

Shaking his head lightly from left to right, Xavier’s mind was made up and that is to walk towards Collin’s ward. He can’t be in the hospital and don’t visit him. The fact that they had had a little argument earlier doesn’t mean that they were no longer talking on the contrary, they might get mad at one another, but before they notice It, there they are again, gisting one another of what had happened earlier.

It was just a foot throw before the young man arrived Collins ward. He was alone but then, what more can he even do about it, he wondered faintly. The truth us that there isn’t much he can do right now, and as he stared at the man that was in front of him, he just decided to make things better by just standing out there and staring at his baby brother. He was fast asleep, and his friend and wasn’t beside him, more reason to give him a heartache because he was staying out there just glaring at his baby brother as if he did not know him at all. Well, that was embarrassing, as well as humiliating in case he doesn’t know, especially for a man that shared the same blood with him.

The worst part of it is that Collins was coming back from his campaign before such a thing happened. This is to say that if he had stayed on his lane, he would have stopped himself from this kind of accident, especially as he didn’t mean it to happen at all.

Shaking his head violently, it didn’t quoite make a lot of sense to him as he finally decided to walk away. That was the only thing that was left for him to do. With a shameful glare on his face, Xavier sole a last glance from Collins room as he walked away.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Returning to the reception room, Xavier was surprised to see the doctor standing there as if he was waiting for someone. Of course, he was, and he was that person. Hurrying his footsteps, the young man finally approached the doctor as he patiently waited to know what that was all about.

“Mr. Xavier, I thought you were tired, thus, you have returned home,” he muttered out.

That was a straight lie, and it entails that he was lying through his teeth. That was awkward, but the more he had his eyes on him, Xavier was just waiting for the man to tell him what the matter was.

“I went to check on Collins, he is sound asleep, and I guess is recovering quickly as well,” Xavier muttered out sweetly.

But then, his contours stayed like that for a very brief moment, as he suddenly changed it, as he tried making himself look serious as the words finally slipped out of her mouth.

This is weird, the worst case that he can ever think about, and as his eyes hardened a little bit, he finally decided to ask the questions that had being buried jn the man’s throat.

“Now, tell me, Doctor, how is the lady I just brought in doing? is she alright?” Xavier asked his voice a little shaky.

It had every right to be because he ass panicking. The fact that he had seen the foam spread out of the lady’s mouth is enough reasons to make him fear with all his might, he was frightened in every sense of the word, and the more he tried fixing his mind on one direction, the young man felt like this world was truly getting the best out of him, which is just so awkward.

The Doctor suddenly had an engraved expression on his face, it was a sign that everything wasn’t alright, and at once, Xavier’s attention was keenly placed on the man’s own. There is no way that he could stay a moment without figuring these things out.

“The patient seemed to have swallowed inactive poison. Well, it would have caused a lot of trouble to him right now. But that is it, her system is being cleaned out with immediate effect because it can cause more damage to her in case it is not being neutralized,” the doctor spat out.

It was an awkward way of saying this thing, the more he glared at the man, it didn’t make things work out for him. Xavier’s eyes widened with shock, he could not believe what Ruby had tried doing, but then, why would she drink it? the question kept popping into her head. It made her grow totally me, in feed, he didn’t find this shit the least funny. The more he frowned, the young man lifted his head up as he glared at the man’s face, there is something she couldn’t help but do right now, and before he could notice what is going on right now.

“I thought you said the poison was inactive? how then did she fall under this shock?” Xavier asked weirdly.

The fact that he had asked this question was just to help him with the fact that his mind was scattered with confusion. It didn’t do him well at all, and the more the frowned his face, it didn’t clearly make any sense to him.

The doctor had a solemn expression on his face as he revealed the little truth about what he knew.

“There was about twenty percent of active poison in that mixture, thus It is enough to destroy her entire system. The truth is, it wouldn’t kill her because we had noticed it early and she had being brought to the hospital early too, thus, it wouldn’t harm that much,” the doctor muttered out.

He had a stern look on his face, and his message had been passed so well.

Xavier on his part, his heartbeat had accelerated, he could hear it beating so hard that one will think it his heart is about to break from it’s ribcage and escape.

“Can I at least see her now?” Xavier asked.

He had this look on his face that no one will want to see and. or reply to the question he asked. In fact, the manner in which he had his eyes glued on the doctor’s own, he just wanted a reply from him and with immediate effect. The more he glared at the doctor, he expected a reply from the doctor.

“Unfortunately, it is impossible to see her right now. If you do not mind, I will like you to go home and rest now, you look so tired,” the doctor said Calmly.

He had not lied when he said that. Xavier needs rest.
