HIS RUDE CHEF: Chapter 41 – The End
CHAPTER 43
By Naomi Cindy B

The ambulance arrived shortly and the paramedics quickly placed him on a stretcher, he was taken into the ambulance, Sally sat with him inside the ambulance
Philip helped crying Melanie up and further helped her into the car before driving behind the ambulance to the hospital
“Stella is at work, without doubt it’s her” Philip said during the drive
He decided to file a case against her instantly, he called the cops during the drive and reported, a case was filed against her immediately and she was declared wanted
For the fact that she even came to his office to threaten him, it’s enough evidence, she must be trying to get rid of them in order to get Robin
Wait…. Robin!
“Drive home!, Fast!” He ordered the driver
He reversed the car and drove crazily down the street, Melanie understood that move instantly
“My son” she said fearfully, they got home and they both literally jumped out of the car, the guards are still parading round the house
“Your son is safe sir” the leader of the guards said
They both heaved an heavy sigh before Philip held Melanie’s shoulder, “I’ll go to the hospital and stay with Sally, stay home with Rob ok?” He said
She nodded and hugged him shortly after which he got in the car and drove off to the hospital
Melanie went in , still sobbing silently, she got to Robin’s room and met him still sleeping silently, but one thing she noticed is that the way he breathes is not normal at all
“Why?” She wondered aloud and placed her finger at the entrance of his nose
His breath is so hot that she had to remove her hand quickly
“What’s happening?, Is he sick?” She wondered aloud again, that woke Robin up
” Mummy? ” He called, sitting up, Melanie hugged him immediately
“I’m glad you’re fine” she said, “mum did something go wrong?” Robin asked
” Dear, I know I shouldn’t be telling you this right now but I just want to, cos there’s no way you won’t find out” she said
” What? ” Robin asked anxiously
” Leo,.. Leo is fighting for his life in the hospital, he got affected badly in a blast” she said and that made Robin’s eyes almost pop out in horror
“What!, Mum will he be ok?, He won’t die right?” He said impatiently
Melanie hugged him again, ” let’s keep praying for him baby, he’ll be fine though it might take time” she replied
” And you… Are you ok?, Your breathing is not normal and it’s somehow hot” she said, breaking the hug
” Mum I’m ok, it’s as a result of heat” he replied
“Heat in spring?”
“That’s just my body nature” he replied, smiling innocently
” Just be ok for me ok? ” She said and Robin nodded
Almost immediately, she felt like puking, she held her mouth and rushed to the bathroom but she vomited nothing, yeah she has been feeling nauseous and morning sickness since three days ago but she counted it as nothing
“Mum are you ok?” Rob asked behind her
She looked at him and smiled, “mum is ok dear, come here” she said and drew him closer to give him a hug…
?????
Philip and Sally paced up and down the reception, waiting for when the doctors will come out and say whatever it is
“Leo” Philip kept mouthing
Of all the people he can’t lose in this world, he’s one of the important ones
“I can’t lose you please fight for your life , fight the fight squarely and fiercely, Leo you can’t leave” he kept saying…
” Leo please, we still have a lot to do together, we still have places to go together and I still have a lot to tell you, Leo please you can’t leave” Sally lamented, still crying badly
The emergency ward door swung open and a doctor came out to them
“Doctor how’s it?, He’s ok right?, Huh?” Sally asked fast
” He hit a fragile part of his head but…
“But what?” Philip interrupted
“We got it fixed and it might take time for him to wake up, he’ll be fine”
Sally and Philip inhaled hard at the same time, sigh of relief
“I’m glad, I’m glad” Sally muttered
“Can we go see him now?” Philip asked
“No sir, you can’t for now, we’ll only allow you to enter that ward when he’s stable, he’s not too stable for now” the doctor replied
” Ok doc, we gat that” Philip replied and the doctor left
The cops came to get their speeches and he stated it clear that Stella definitely came to his office to threaten him and therefore she’s the only suspect
Her wanted pictures were uploaded everywhere, “Please, you guys need to get her as fast as possible” Sally said
***
“Dmn!!!” Stella ranted as she watched the news
” I can’t believe it failed, I can’t believe all the efforts crumbled” Kat replied, taking off her gloves
It was actually her and Rico who went to plant the bomb
“It failed cos you guys are idiots!, How could you plant a time bomb behind a door?, How could you? ” Stella said disappointedly
” But we never knew it’ll result in this, calm down S-lady” Rico said
” I should calm down when I’m now wanted?, For f*ck sake I thought this mission will be just a piece of cake but you guys turned it to a rocky mission, eish!” She ranted
*There’ll always be another way so calm down” Kat said
” Don’t talk to me like that or I’ll wound you! ” Stella said, glaring dangerously at her
“Calm down Stella, don’t transfer your aggression on her” Rico said
Stella rolled eyes at him and Kat before leaving
“Don’t mind S-lady, she gets cranky when a mission fails” Rico said
” I joined this group because I wanted revenge, I never knew it’ll be as hard as this” Kat said”
Rico moved closer to her and scanned her face till her toes
“You’re not bad I swear” he said, licking his lips
“Really? ” Kat said, getting excited
” Yeah, sxy than Stella” he replied and $panked her bum before leaving after winking

Valerie and Susan can be seen rushing into the hospital the next day
The blogs are full of recovery messages for Leo from fans, his Co workers at J-bliss are also present though no one has been allowed to see him
Melanie is present too with Robin in her arms, he insisted he’s not going to school, then Carolyn
The city is just full of what happened last night and nothing more
“Stella, that monkey has started striking, why must it be my HNP? ” Carolyn said sadly
” The cops has been searching everywhere for that devil since last night but she’s nowhere to be found, I just know she’ll be somewhere right now, hiding” Philip said behind her
” So the war is just beginning” Susan said
“But the strongest lives right?” Valerie replied
Sally just kept sobbing, that’s what she has been doing since last night…
Robin suddenly felt that sharp chest pain again and held his chest tight
“Robin” Melanie called with concern
“Mum I’m fine” he replied, still holding his chest
Michelle entered immediately with her dad
“Oh!, Good thing we met, Mr and Mrs Albert, Michelle told me something about Robin and I think you guys should know about it” Mr Jeremy said
Robin Started coughing incoherently
” Robin! ” Philip called, taking him from Melanie
“The thing is, he might be having heart problem, Michelle told me he has been experiencing chest pain for more than two months now” Mr Jeremy said
Another look at Robin, he’s already bleeding from the nose
“Robin!” Carolyn screamed
Tears fell from Robin’s eyes as more blood fell from his nose, his eyes Started shutting and he went limp
“Robin!” Melanie screamed, Philip ran all the way to the emergency ward with Robin in his arms, he was taken by doctors, he was told to stay out with Melanie though they did that with difficulty
“Not now, why will he keep something like that from us” Melanie said tearfully
” I dunno, Robin will never keep the smallest secret from us, I dunno why it’s like that this time” Philip said silently
” Nothing must happen to Robin, nothing must happen to my grandson” Carolyn kept lamenting as they all paced round the place
First it was Leo, and now little Robin?, How far will Stella’s badluck go? Philip thought sadly
Fifteen minutes later**
The doctors appeared but the look on their faces shows all’s not well
“How’s he doing?, He’s fine right?” Melanie asked impatiently
“He’d be fine, if only he gets a new heart in three days” the doctor replied
“Meaning?” Philip asked impatiently
“He has been living with coronary artery disease, also known as ischemic heart disease for the past three months”
“The supply of blood to his heart is narrowed, leading to chest pain, arrhythmias and heart failure, I’m sure he has been experiencing chest pain and arrhythmias…. The next stage is heart failure if a donor is not found within three days, and you know what happens when the heart fails” the doctor explained
Melanie slumped on a chair
” It is finished!!!!” She screamed
“Some even find it hard to find a donor within two weeks, but now three days? ” Philip said
” I’m sorry Mr Albert, three days or we’re gonna lose the child” the doctor said
” I can’t lose Robin! ” Carolyn said, crying for the first time since she came
“You won’t lose him” Susan said slowly, feeling the throat pain again…
