Where did he go?
Maxwell knew she had wanted to ask him since, she had been acting up, looking at the door, and at her phone, for God knows how many times, he could tell she was hoping Goodluck would call her, or walk back in, but he sure knows how to make a woman beg. Maxwell wanted his sister to ask him, and now that she has asked him, he was not sure, if he has the right answer, or if he should just play the same card his friend had played.
Maxwell was glad she was asking him, he wanted her to be a bit more open with him, and he was glad she did.
He knew he couldn't tell them how to run their relationship, but he was sure it would end well, he wasn't going to let his sister live with Dave no matter what she thinks, and she wasn't going to live with Goodluck either except when he marries her, but he was going to try, and protect her from her own self, she cared so much about what people would think, but yet she was so inlove with someone else, while she lives with someone else.It was an insane thing to do, but he was going to make her make the right decision.
"He left, I didn't see him in the hall way, when I left here, he must be very angry to leave like that" He added, looking into her eyes, he could feel her heart break, just with what he just said, and smilling at the drama, he moved close to her.
"I know, I shouldn't have said what I said, but I can't change it now, I cannot move out just yet, it would be a leavrage for everybody to point fingers at me, they would judge me" She tries to explain even more to her brother, hoping he would understand the situation from her own point. But Maxwell saw it as an opportunity, to try again, to convince her.
"Amanda, you cannot always live your life because of what people would say, you need to think of your self first, they don't want you there, you will be invisible in that house, and it would hurt you more with Tracy now in the picture.
Wasn't she the reason you almost lost your life in an accident, why go back there to get more blows? He asked, giving her a very big point, and she nodded, getting it clearer now, but she still refused to move out immediately.
"I understand, and I promise I will leave, but let me go back first, and see what they have for me. I also don't want to be there, I am not happy there, I have never really been happy there, and now that I can be happy, I don't want to leave feeling like a wicked girl, who emotionally tortured her husband, and left him, please understand" she pleaded, and Maxwell tapped her back, also understanding the situation from her point of view.
"Alright then, I give up, maybe you should call Goodluck, he isn't taking my calls". Maxwell said, changing the topic.
"He isn't taken mine either" She said, showing him her phone.
"I have called him more than a million times, but he would not take not return, I am worried about him". She said, and looked down, at her phone, avoiding eye contact with him.
"Don't worry we live together now, I will talk to him, when I get back to the house"
"What are your plans as regards what Goodluck said about moving mum?
She asked changing the topic and avoiding to cry, she was hurt that Goodluck left, and he wasn't even taking calls, why was he so angry anyway.
"HEAVEN'S GATE is the best hospital in the federation, I believe something can happen if we take mum there, maybe she would have more time to spend with us. Even Darius in the US have been informed and he thinks it's a good idea, he said he would send some money across.
"Does he know about me?
Amanda was asking, he didn't want her oldest brother to worry, he hadn't been in the country since she was ten, and she only spoke to him over the phone, but she knows how much Darius could worry, if one didn't know, they would think she and Maxwell were the only children their parents had.
She tried calling Goodluck again while waiting for her brother to answer, but he didn't say much he just said "no he doesn't, she was ok with it. She doesnt want Darius to know about what was happening down here in Nigeria, he might just decide to come down.
"Thank you so much for everything you are doing, and for your understanding, I am glad you are my brother, and you came at the right time, to save me". Maxwell did not know how to respond, but he was also grateful to her, for bringing his friend back to him.
Goodluck was more than just a friend to him, he loves him like a brother, and he is indeed happy, that things are now okay for him, and he has also forgiven him.
Goodluck went to meet with the resident doctor to finalize about the transfer and didn't know his phone was still on silent
"I am sorry doctor but my aunty is not well cared for here, so I want to move her to Heaven's gate, please I need the necessary documents to finalize the transfer"
The doctor was amazed at the mention of her dream hospital, she wished she could get a chance to work closely with the doctor's doctor's there, she heard they were magicians, what was impossible for them was so possible for heaven's gate.
It was indeed heaven's gate where everything was possible.
The Doctor exchanged glances with the nurse, who was about to leave, but stopped and pretended to be working on something, when she heard about the hospital.
Though the doctor was happy, she still felt angry somehow, that Goodluck was indirectly telling them, that they were not doing anything.
