Just as we arrived at the hospital, I told the driver to wait for me while I go into the hospital building. He obeyed. And the moment I stepped into Aunt Vicky's ward I saw her discussing with a doctor, one one the female doctors in the hospital. Aunt Vicky was eating and the doctor was standing, after greetings I allowed them to continue with their conversation. Then I heard the doctor telling her she could be discharged anytime, depending on what she chooses. To go home and take good care of herself or stay at the hospital until she's perfectly fine. However, Aunt Vicky chose to return back home soon as she was tired of staying at the hospital and waiting for people to do things for her. "I don't want to keep on suffering people, I want to be home soon Doctor Katherine" Aunt Vicky said to the doctor, thus the doctor told her not to worry and the she would see her soon about the discharge. "Thank you so much, Katherine!" Aunt Vicky thanked her and the woman replied positively before leaving.
Just then, Aunt Vicky turned to me and asked how I was. I told her I was fine and also told her I would be visiting Mam Camila in Frank's Mansion, hence I brought the house keys for her in case Jessica wants to go home later. She smiled and told me that was good. And after collecting the keys I bade her goodbye. She then asked me to send her regards to Mam Camila, to which I replied positively before leaving. Hence, I was trailed by Jessica seconds after leaving the ward. She had while in the ward pretended as if she didn't know I arrived or I was there, hence I decided to also pretend as if I didn't hear her calling me. But then something told me what if it was her mother that wanted me back in order to give me something for Mam Camila? That was the one reason I gave myself and thus I decided to turn around anf ask what exactly is wrong. Suddenly, she began acting strange. She then asked if I was taking a cab, but then I told Frank's driver was waiting for me outside. She then smiled and told me she was going to follow me, making me to laugh in the process. And that made her to ask why I was laughing.
"Nothing!" I pretended as if I had no reason for laughing the moment she told me she was going to follow me to Frank's mansion. Hence, she shrugged her shoulders and then asked again if she could follow me. But this time around I didn't laugh or smile, I only told her I wouldn't be going with her and that made her angry. Before I knew it she was already talking about having an unfinished business talk with him about her scholarship and even I didn't take her with me to him now, she could arrange to meet him later. It was rude of her to say that, but since I was already used to her nonsense I just kept quiet and didn't say anything to her. I turned and continued with my walk, only for her to tell me SORRY. I stopped for some seconds before continuing with my walk again. Just then she added with PLEASE JESSICA, hence I huffed and turned her. She was wearing a very sad face, as if she wasn't the same person that was treating me like trash. Now that she wanted something from me, she was trying to convince me into to granting her wish. Anyways, something came into me and I decided to just allow her to come with me. Not because I wanted her to talk to Frank about thr scholarship, but because I wanted her to see Mam Camila too. So she could learn some morals from the woman.
When I told her she could follow me, she screamed and jumped in excitement making the people around to wonder what was going on. They all turned to look at us as if to ask what was going on. I didn't waste time there though let alone be asked by anyone what was going on. I began walking and so did Jessica, she began trailing behind me. The moment we arrived at the parking lot, I sat at the front with the driver while she sat at the back passenger seat. The reason why I sat at thr front passenger seat was because I didn't want to share the back seat with her. I didn't want any unnecessary conversation that could lead to our fight or turn us into enemies again before we arrive at our destination. I even had to turn on the music and watch the music video via the small display placed on the dashboard. Via thet screen, the front seats which comprise of the driver and the front passenger could watch movies. Although even the person sitting at the back seat could watch, especially the person sitting on the center position ot the back seat.
Jessica didn't seem to bother though, she kept touching her phone with her head down throughout the trip. Perhaps she was shy or ashamed of all that she had been doing to me. She might have not expect I would be suxh kind to allow her to follow me. However, I wasn't that kind of a person. I was like her and certainly wasn't the kind of person that would love to hold grudges for a long time. No matter what you do, if you are practically back to your senses I would be glad to welcome you back. No grudges and certainly no ill intention. That was why Jessica was so lucky to have me, if I was someone like her then it wouldn't have been easy for Aunt Vicky as she would always been having heart attacking while trying to contain the two of us and have us live together in peace. It would be more like having lioness and tigress at the same place, they would never coexist. They would always fight and keep fighting until one assume the winner and one is ultimately defeated. That would be the case. But fortunately, I wasn't like Jessica and that was why we didn't used to have serious problems with each other. And even if we do, I would always try to stay away from any escalation or avoid prolonged arguments.
As soon as we arrived at the mansion, Jessica opened her mouth and uttered WOW. She then said she had nevet seen such a big house before. She quickly began taking pictures of the place through the glasses of the car. And as if that wasn't enough, as soon as we stepped out of the car she continued taking pictures while we began heading towards the mansion. However, one of thr securities approached us and told her to stop. According to him, it was her first day and thus she wasn't allowed to take pictures or make video recording. That serves her right, by the way why was she even taking pictures in the first place? What were the pictures for? I couldn't just imagine as even during my first timr being in thr house I didn't take any pictures. And that doesn't mean I didn't admire the house, of course I did. Infact I loved the house so much that when I went home I had a dream about it that I was married to Frank and we lived together in a place like the mansion. It sounds odds, right? Well hopefully it would come to pass one day as that was one of my biggest dreams in reality.
Just as we stepped into the mansion we were welcomed by the servants. They all recognized me, hence they quickly began bowing down for us. Jessica was amazed by how they were taking their bows whenever we walked passed them. She was so happy, that was the kind of things she wanted. To be respected and be treated like a queen. "Laura, is that you?" Mam Camila said from afar as she walked swiftly towards us.
"Yes, Mam, it's me" I beamed at her.
"Welcome, my granddaughter, welcome" she said as hugged me the moment she reached where we were. At first she didn't acknowledge Jessica's presence until I told her Jessica was with me too. Hence she embraced her before taking us to Frank's apartment. She told us that Frank told her that I would be coming, and that if I arrive she should take me to his apartment and make sure all the things I needed were provided to me. I was so happy to hear that, I was really honoured. However something was still bothering me, it was about the discovery. Did Frank knew Mam Camila was my step-grandmother? Well, I didn't really think so the fact that if he knew he would definitely treat her well, the same way he was treating the people around me. But why didn't she tell him? She ought to, right? Why then didn't she let him know about it? I wondered.
