"Mrs Whitney", Chris answered; he didn't know what was going so he took his attention back to Jane, who was still lying there, hoping that she would just open her eyes already.
Maria quickly got agitated, no way Whitney has been around all these while, so she has been seeing her children, she tried not to think too much of it, she needs to find a way to get Williams out of this room, then she will go find that bitch herself, she quickly pretended not to be moved so she doesn't raise suspicions, especially with Williams.
"Uhmm honey well you see, your brother just got back from school and we will have dinner night, at the house and I would love each and every one of you to be there, I've missed all of you, son you need to take a rest," she said trying to convince him but Chris didn't look like he was even going to agree to whatever it is that she's saying.
"There's no need for you to do that mom, I can't leave her side, I want to be the first person that she would see when she wakes up" Chris said
"I know that son, and trust me when I say that I understand your feelings, I'm sure that Jane would want you to take a rest, I don't think that she would be happy if she woke up today and saw you looking all pale and unkept, just have dinner with us this nights and stay all through tomorrow, you can even use that opportunity to put Kyle through on some of the things that he will be doing in your absence at the company," Williams said
"All right, fine," he said, and Maria was jubilant; she needed to get her son away from this place, in fact, all of her children.
"Alright, let's go, Williams, we need to go start preparing stuffs, Kyle go and stay with your sister, she needs company while Chris will stay here with the kids, you all can head back together at night, come Williams let's go say goodbye to Grace" she said trying to rush things, she would not want Whitney to come back here and meet them all, even though she's not sure that she is the one, she can't take any chances.
As soon as they got to the ward, Maria stood up to go out
"I need to use the restroom; I will be back in a jiffy", she said and quickly slipped out; she needed to find out if the Whitney that Chris talked about was the same person over twenty years ago.
Whitney finally got some water and juice to go with, since he has refused to eat since morning, he would at least be able to drink something
But immediately she entered the hospital reception, she was faced with Maria coming right towards the reception, she quickly hid herself so she wouldn't see her, she wondered what she was doing at the hospital again, this was the second time she's running into her, she quickly hid herself and rushed back to the cafeteria.
As Maria walked through the reception looking for anything or anyone that looked like Whitney, she heard one of the nurses calling a name
"Mrs Whitney" the nurse called her and Maria looked at the person, she was carrying food and water in a tray, and she remembered Chris saying she went to get him water, she quickly grabbed the woman and turned her head to face her
"excuse me madam do I know you?" the woman asked her
"oh I'm sorry madam, the thing is I'm headed to the VIP ward, can you please direct me?" she lied, seeing that she was not the Whitney that she was looking for
"Oh, I'm also headed to one of the wards in the VIP section. You can follow me", she said to her and moved forward.
Maria sighed in relief, she had thought that it was Whitney, she walked behind the woman and when she got to the ward, she stopped and thanked the woman
"oh I found the ward, please excuse me thank you very much," she said and entered the ward
Williams told Grace the plan for the night, and she quickly agreed to it; she missed home as well.
Finally, it was night, and everyone left for the mansion; Mrs Whitney volunteered to stay with Jane for the two days that Chris would not be around, she would also go home and rest afterwards, and he would take over from her; he just hopes and prays that she will be awake before then.
They got home, and Chris headed straight for the shower; he took his bath and headed straight to the shower; it's been a while since he had such a cold bath like this; he changed into some fresh clothes afterwards and headed for the dining room, where every other person was already waiting.
He stepped in and just like he predicted, they were already there waiting for him, he took his seat and settled down, he misses Jane's presence even more now that he's in the house, she would have been the one to serve him his food right now but she's nowhere to be found.
"Oh my son look at how lean you have become, here you should have more soup, I had it specifically prepared for you" Maria said and gave the maids signs to put the soup in his bowl
"Mom, stop exaggerating, it's not that bad", Grace interjected and dug into her food; Chris looked around the table and saw that Angel was also present; he couldn't be bothered by her, so he just continued eating his food.
