HOUSE OF THORNS : EPISODE 51 – THE END
EPISODE 55
Valerie and Mrs Bradford were shedding tears uncontrollably as the two men took turns to talk to Vivian.
While Leonard was assuring her of his absolute forgiveness, Pascal was declaring his undying and unwavering love.
Pascal sat besides her on the bed, holding her free hand in his, as he told her how Jeremy ended.
He confessed how he had betrayed her by waiting a second too late, just to get Jeremy say all he had to say before he pounced on him.
“If only I had imagined he’d be as inhumane as to attack a defenseless woman with a kn.ife, them I’d have helped him get to his ancestors, a few hours earlier” he told her.
He kept on talking to her, telling her how he got Intel that he had tried to escape from the moving Security Hilux, they transported him with, and had jumped out of he moving vehicle, not caring that he had cuffs on his legs.
From what he told Vivian, an unsuspecting, oncoming driver had run him over, ending his so.rdid life.
He told her how for the fact that he was in a hurry to get her to the hospital, he didn’t get the chance to make him feel half the punishment he intended to give him for laying his contem.ptible hands on her.
Daisy started brawling all of a sudden, making everyone shocked.
Mrs Bradford was doing all she could to comfort her, but she cried harder, wriggling with strange strength to force herself out of her grandmother’s back.
Mrs. Bradford brought the child out from her back and she immediately delved for the bed. All the adults in the room looked at each other, shocked at the child’s sudden outburst.
The baby was allowed to go to her mother, and just like seen in movies, as soon as she felt her mother’s body, she stopped crying, and Vivian who had been lying motionless all these while, began to move her toes slowly.
Pascal was the first to notice the slightest change in her. He noticed how her breathing had seemed to take a different pattern, and then, a finger twitched.
He was waiting to be sure he hadn’t been imagining. He watched her more keenly, and when he saw her toes unmistakably moving slowly, he screamed, scaring everyone else.
“She’s back. Doctor, nurse, anyone!” he screamed, racing out of the ward to get any of the health personnel.
Leonard who had been sitting besides a very shaken Valerie, stood up simultaneously with Valerie, rushing to the bed side, to take a look at Vivian again.
By the time Pascal returned with the doctor who had kept insisting that Pascal was imagining what he said he saw, Leonard, Valerie and Mrs Bradford were calling Vivian’s name frantically.
She opened her eyes slowly and undecidedly, then she shut them again. And almost as if she had just reprocessed what she had seen, she flicked her eyes open again, this time in a hurry.
“Daisy?” She asked in fear as she shut her eyes tightly again. “She’s here Vivy. Your daughter has been crying for you” her mother announced quickly, lifting the baby to a position that could make Vivian see the child.
Vivian’s face scrunched up in what she meant to be a smile. “Pascal? Oh no, he must have h.urt him. That be.ast was bent on kil.ling us all.
He’s not going o stop untill he has made me stand in the great beyond, regretting the wrong choices I made” she lamented.
“I’m here my dear. And you don’t have to worry about him anymore, he won’t be disturbing anyone again, at least, not in this lifetime.” Pascal told her matter-of-factly.
He was prepared to tell her some more reassuring words, but the doctor asked everyone of them to leave the room. He needed to attend to her.
They all willingly left the room to enable the doctor do his job, but not before Leonard told had told her how he wished for her to get well and how he had long forgiven her.
