Chapter 4 4(Hospitalized)

Isabelle's Pov:

I am Isabelle, Hunter's ex-girlfriend, yes you people might see me as being selfish and wicked but I did what I needed to do to save my grandma from her illness. She was the one that trained me, raised me on her own and even catered for my needs since I was born.

My mother died immediately after giving birth to me, that's why I hate celebrating my birthday because it reminds me of the death of my mother.

About my father, that one since I was born until now, I don't even know him or seen him, my grandma only showed me his pictures and the one he snapped with my mom, according to my grandma my father detects me and sees me as the reason behind the sudden death of his wife, he always said that he wished that I was the one who died in place of his wife.

Their love for each other was so strong that my father couldn't bear it and left immediately after my mom's burial. Nobody knew what to do after the burial. My grandma tried reaching him but all to no avail.

My grandma took me away from his care after he tried to killed me, blaming me, saying all sorts of words to me, he even went to the extent of disowning me as his child, my childhood life was boring and my life was full of pain,but my grandma who I ended up addressing as my mom took me in, fed me and cater for me as her daughter.

I was like the girl nobody ever wants despite my beauty and curvy body expect those guys that wants to get under my pants, but meeting Hunter changed my life, he gave me reason to be alive, he turned my once boring life to fun and happiness, the first day I met him, I knew it was him, it was like love at first sight.

We both felt the connection and strong pull towards each other, he always made me feel special, we were the campus golden couple, though he wasn't that rich but I felt relaxed around him. He makes me feel wanted and treats me like a queen. He was a rare gem, yes I was his queen then but I don't know if I can say the same thing now.

I always picture him as the father of my unborn children, our four years relationship end just like that, I still want him, I feel fucking empty without him, he was like my missing ribs. I betrayed him, I left him broken and shattered.

I still remembered how it all happened, the day I came back from my part time work, I was informed by our neighbour that my grandma was rushed to the hospital in the morning after I went to school because I go straight to the cafe where I do part time work immediately after school then returns back to house once am through with the work, but I always make sure to prepare food for my grandma in the morning before going to school. I do prepare the quantity that will sustain her till the time I come back from work.

Our neighbour told me that my mother is suffering from breast cancer based on what the doctor said, I rushed quickly to the named hospital still on the clothes I wore to work, once I reached the ward where my grandma was lying down, she was lying helplessly and strings were connected all around her body, she looks fragile and tired, I stared at her that I didn't know when tears started streaming down my face. I went to the doctor's office who was in charge of my granny and he broke the shocking news of not knowing if my granny will survive this illness. I begged him to do all he can to save her, but he requested that I deposit money first before he would do any treatment.

Where do I gather the amount needed? Hunter just finished giving me money to use and defend my project which I knew was gotten from the money meant for his father's treatment. He is having a lot of crises in his life now and me telling him about this my situation will be a huge burden to him. What I don't want is to see him suffer because of me, he was always there for me but now I have to source for the money on my own.

I felt tired and weak, so I decided to clear my head. I headed to a small bar down the road where I met James, Hunter's best friend. He kept asking me what the problem was. At first I refused to open up but when I noticed he wasn't going to let it slide and the pain inside me was too much, I let it all out. I cried, weeped and told him my situation. He asked me if I had told Hunter while consoling me but I told no and the reason behind it.

He decided to help me out, and pay for my grannies hospital bill but on one condition, if I decided to sleep with him and be his girlfriend, which I refused and went in search of the money on my own. It wasn't easy and my granny's condition is getting worse day by day. I always fake that I am fine and happy in front of hunter to avoid him finding out about my current situation.

After one month, the doctor told me that I might lose my granny for real if I continued wasting time, he pitied me and was administering some medications to her but they need to do some surgery on her, in order to cut one of her breast before it will moved to the other breast, he told me not to waste time alless I will lose my granny. I have searched everywhere, the little money I do save from my part time work wasn't enough to carry on with the surgery and Hunter is busy trying to solve the dispute going on with his dad and his mom's siblings and relations. So my only option was now James, hunter's best friend.
