Chapter 20
(Interrogation)
“Sorry, my foot. Imagine, they put that scandal in a private cell.” He thought, laughing mischievously.
“We thought, you wanted to treat her especially” The officer spoke up.
“Why will I treat someone that was planning to do evil towards me special treatment. I don’t even know there’s a VIP” Collins growled, sitting on a chair.
“Did you come to see her, sir ?” The police officer inquired.
“As you can see, I am not here for fun,” Collins derided.
“We will bring her out,” A junior police officer said and spun to get Miss Nova.
“You should put her in a public cell after I chat with her. At least those that are mentally squeamish will be able to drag her hair around. ” Collins muttered, rolling his eyes. He moved his gaze at the senior officer and scoffed.
“Am going to prosecute her to court, so make sure she gets an attorney before then” Collins uttered, checking his watch.
“What’s taking them so long ?” He asked, still looking at his wristwatch
“They will be here soon sir” The senior officer responded.
Miss Nova’s controversy with the junior police officer was loud enough for people to hiss at her foolishness.
“Must she display her foolishness ?” Collins mumbled.
Miss Nova gasped and went on her knees, immediately her gaze came in contact with Collins’s.
“I heard you were given VIP handling ?” Collins smiled.
“I didn’t know they decided to put me in a VIP compartment” Miss Nova answered, nearly close to tears.
“Is there a VIP compartment here ?” Collins inquired curiously.
“Yes sir ?” The senior officer retorted.
“Okay,” He chuckled and turned his spotlight on Miss Nova.
“Who are you working for ?” Collins interrogated.
“I was not working with anyone, it was my idea to go such” she faltered, wiping her tears.
“Was it your notion to do such, or you are sent over?” Collins asked again.
“I planned to do it,” She answered honestly.
“If you hadn’t used Kiara to attain your depravity plans, I would have pardoned you but you did the wrong thing by using my daughter, my innocuous daughter to achieve those disastrous plans of yours ” Collins yelled, fisting his hand with rage.
“I’m very sorry sir,” Miss Nova asked for forgiveness, holding his leg.
“Get your fitting hands off me” Collins yelled.
“I’m very sorry sir. I was only doing this for Kiara, I want to make her happy, she’s so sweet and beautiful. She told me she needs a mommy that’s why I did that” She cried, whisking her words.
“This was not your motive Nova, you can’t plan everything the moment she said those words to you” Collins opposed.
“I fell in love with you Mr. Walter… I did it because of Kiara. I wanted to be the second person to give you a child, “she confessed.
“I lost interest in this conversation” Collins voiced, getting up on his feet.
“You should take her to a public compartment. And also, you should get a lawyer, Nova. Am going to drag this case with you” Collins expressed with gritted teeth and raved out of the police station.

Collins walked inside the hospital with only one purpose. To see Piper, he couldn’t hide his happiness and his smile. He kept replying to everyone’s greetings by bowing his head, which has not happened before. He took the elevator, which
“Collins” Nurse Grace dubbed.
“Grace,” He called with a wide smile. They hugged themselves friendly and extricated immediately.
“What’s happening? You look happy today” Nurse Grace squinted at him.
“She’s always been the source of happiness,” Collins blurted out.
“Who?? Oh! Let me guess. Aurora, it is Aurora” Nurse Grace whispered covering her mouth. She widened her eyes.
“I’m shy to face her ?” Collins said, turning his back at the foyer.
“Ohhhhh. See lover boy” Nurse Grace laughed.
“Should I go in?” Collins whispered.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“You should Collins, just try your best to act like the arrogant boss you have always been” Nurse Grace advises and also elucidate him with words of inducement.
Collins exhaled and opened the door slowly.
“There’s no one inside Grace” He voices out.
“You kidding,” Nurse Grace asked.
He scoffed “Do I look like I am” he replied looking around.
“Let’s go and check on her best friend” Nurse Grace inferred.
He nodded and shut the door quietly, taking the nearby elevator.
“If Aurora remembers her past, presumably she got her memories back, what are you planning to do ?” Nurse Grace asked.
He didn’t hesitate to give her his mind reply.
“I’m getting married to her immediately” He answered, plopping his hand in his pocket.
Nurse Grace gasped loudly looking at him as if he unexpectedly thrived horns
“Do you think she still loves you ?” Nurse Grace asked. Her words whack Collins in the heart which made him stopped instantly,
“Why did you stop, we are just a few steps away from Riley’s ward,” Nurse Grace asked, staring at him.
“Does that mean she doesn’t love me again ?” Collins asked, ignoring her question.
“I didn’t say that Collins, don’t misquote my words. You said you will get married to her immediately and she recovers her lost memories, right” Nurse Grace asked.
“Yes,” Collins replied, bobbing his head.
“That’s what I’m saying, try to know if she still has feelings for you. Do you even know it has been long? Since High School, Collins” Nurse Grace clasped.
A tear streamed down his cheeks as remember an uncomfortable memory he had with Piper…
Nurse Grace wiped his tears and pulled his cheeks…
“You don’t need to cry now, let’s go and check if she’s in Riley’s ward or not” Nurse Grace smiled, pulling his arm.
Nurse Grace kept replaying in his head as they walked close to Riley’s ward.
“What if she doesn’t love me anymore,” He thought and he felt his heart was ripping out.
Nurse Grace knocked on the door before she walked inside.
“Good Morning sir” Riley greeted.
“How are you feeling Miss Riley ?” Nurse Grace asked.
“Better” she replied, trying to seat up.
“I checked Piper’s room but she’s not there?” Nurse Grace asked.
“She supposed to be there?”Mrs. Walker replied.
“No, she isn’t there. I wanted to check up on her but no one was inside” Collins speak up.
“She left my room one hour ago” Riley panicked, getting down from her bed.
“If she left one hour ago then where is she?” Collins reckoned.
“Adams” Collins and Nurse Grace screamed, staring at each other.
