Get Me Married

Chapter 3: Genesis Connor

the attention of nurses and doctors but most of them seemed busy and stared at me like I was a mad woman. “Help, she is dying, she is….” My voice was hoarse from crying so much, I could barely hear myself. I ran to the receptionist and and banged on the canter. “Please, why isn’t anyone helping” I cried. The nurse at the desk raised her head up from her computer and gave me a split second look before she returned to what she was doing with her computer. “Have you been registered in this hospital before ma’am” the nurse at the reception asked without looking at me once and I stared at her in horror. How could she be asking that when someone was dying? “No.   no….” I replied her quickly. “Ma’am you need to get registered” she said unconcerned. “Come-on please, someone should attend to her first, please” my husband pleaded and she went mute. “Can someone help, while I register her?” I asked and she remained mute. “can’t you see that she is dying?” I yelled. “you need to register your name ma’am” she said indifferently. “Someone should just take her in please” Connor pleaded still. “You have been delaying, if she dies, it’s on you” the nurse said rudely and more tears flowed from my eyes. “Is that the way you speak to people around here?” a voice yelled coldly from behind us and we turned around. It was the wife of the formal head of state,  the lady that had helped us. “Ma’am….I….do you…..” the nurse behind the desk stuttered. “Get them immediate attention now” she barked at the nurse who looked frightened and immediately walked out from the canter and urged us to follow which we did without delay. We followed the nurse who pointed us to a different nurse who took us to a different room and there we laid  Ava. “Leave the room please”  a doctor walked in immediately followed by various nurses. “Please save her” I was able to mutter at the sight of how pale Ava became before Connor pulled me out of the room. “Oh my…what are we going to do, I can’t loose her” I cried and Connor gathered me in his arms. I couldn’t afford to loose my baby, she was my child, I bore her in my womb and she had been suffering for so long I couldn’t bare it anymore. “Take me in place of her please, I can’t loose her…..” “Shhh, we ain’t loosing anyone. No one is going in place of any person. We are all going to be fine, now you have to be strong” Connor held me tighter, like my life depended on it. “You have to be strong for Genesis, for Ava, for me” he sounded scared but I could tell he was trying all he could to remain strong for me. LEONA CHASE For some reason, I didn’t leave the hospital, I felt terrible for the child. I could see the helplessness in the eyes of her parents. I understood what they were going through, I understood the fear and tension, I understood the panic and the pain they were going through. I had been there several times, it wasn’t an alien feeling to me. I felt strangely connected to them, so I stayed behind and watched from behind the scene as they both shed tears like children even without knowing the condition of their daughter yet. I watched them for a while till my phone rang and I had to walk away from where I stood and picked it up immediately. It was my p.a, she was a pain in my ass but she was always efficient and effective when it came to her work and I knew in my stone coded heart that I would not get a p.a like her in years time if she was to leave….. ever. “Go on..” I said in my normal tone of language and waited for her to report to me. “Samantha Brandon is in Netherland right now and I was able to get through to her but she isn’t willing to reschedule so you both can have an official meeting” she reported and I immediately started feeling a migraine coming up. I remained quiet while thoughts ran through my head. If she didn’t want to fix a meeting with me, how else was I supposed to explain to her that she had to marry Jordan? “Can you get me in line with her?” that was the only way I could think of. “Yes, give me a few minutes” she said and I hung up. I sighed in clear frustration, when I remembered I still needed to get Jordan a wife in two weeks. Just as my thoughts ran to and fro, I decided to get some painkillers for my migraine before I left for home. So I headed to the pharmaceutical department but not without looking around, though all I could see were my security men but I still looked around. When something caught my attention. Or someone rather. She was lying down on a sick bed in one of the hospital rooms and I couldn’t help but stop and stare at her. Though she was sick and a little bit pale, her beauty was beyond this world and the more I stared at her, I couldn’t help but think about her as a daughter in-law. She was beautiful and could meet up to the family standard with her looks alone. “ I can’t believe you fell sick after graduation. Your
