Must Read: A SECOND CHANCE - Season 2 - Episode 3

The gunmen left immediately, at least satisfied that Maria was shot even though her dad who was their main target wasnt shot.

‘doctor, please do anything you can to save her please, she is all that i have’ Tony said, he didnt even know when tears streamed down his face.
‘she is quite lucky,’ the doctor said ‘the bullet didnt touch her chest or her heart region’
Tony sighed in relief ‘but will she be okay?’
The doctor shrugged his shoulders then said ‘it all depends. She lost alot of blood and she might need blood transfusion’
‘oh Jesus!’ Tony sighed.

Alice held his shoulders, she too was crying, it might not be because, Maria was in the hospital, but because of the sacrifice Maria made to save Felix knowing fully well that it Felix was her son. It was then she knew that Maria had a good heart no matter how rude she appeared to be.
‘she will be fine Tony, dont worry’ she said.
‘i hope so. Oh God, please save her, i wonder who was sent to kill her on her birthday’ Tony said, crying.

The doctor felt pity. Imagine, a billionaire crying so shamelessly like a baby in front of him. He couldnt help but wonder who could have shot the small girl, and for what reason? What did she do to them?
‘what about the blood donation?’ he asked.
‘i will do it. My blood group is O , and Maria is O too’ Tony said.

‘who could have done this? I mean, do you have any problems with anyone which might have you know…’ Detective Johnson asked.
‘i…really dont know. The only person i know of is in prison. And that is Gilbert, Gilbert Adewale and…and…Stella Lawrence’ Tony answered.
‘no business rivals?’
‘i…really….none i can think of’ Tony answered trying to think of any business rival.
‘have there been any threat of recent?’
‘i reall dont know. But i know who ever shot Maria wanted to shoot me, because he kept calling my name telling me to come out’
‘and where was Maria when all this was happening?’
‘i…she was hiding, then all of a sudden from my hidung place, i saw her come out to save a small boy who was standing in the middle of nowhere, that was when they shot her’
‘do you know the kind of friends she keeps at school or anywhere? Does she have a boyfriend?’
‘i really do not know. I only know two of her friends, Abby and Susan’
‘and they were all at the party?’
‘no, just Susan, i didnt see Abby’
‘why?’
‘i recently found out she was related to Gilbert Adewale who is in prison, she should be running around trying to set him free…to seek bail for him, so she wouldnt have had time to attend the party’
‘okay. That enough for now. I should take my leave now and please contact us if there’s any new development. I also will contact you if there’s something new and if we need anymore information, we will meet you’ Detective Johnson said standing up. Tony stood up too and they shook hands.
‘thanks for everything’ Tony said, wiping his tears from his eyes.

Detective Johnson smiled and left. Alice came in when she saw the Detective leave. Seeing Tony cry made her heart bleed, she never knew she loved him this much. She moved closer and gave him a warm hug.

Nneka entered the ward only to see Maria lying on the bed, with a drip fixed to her hand, still inconcious.

Absentmindedly, Nneka burst into laughter.
‘stupid girl, you have sharp mouth abi? Use your sharp mouth to save yourself now. I’m so glad your party wasnt a success’ Nneka said amidst laughter.

Then she stamped her feet on the floor, then with another round of laughter said; ‘i really hope you die Maria, i do not want you alive. You are going to be a stumbling block on my path. If you do not die in this ordeal, i will personally kill you and give your blood to Queen Lateefa and…..’

The door opened at that moment and Tony walked in….
