Chapter 5 I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.

The night soon gave way to the brightness of the day. Hera's bright blue eyes fluttered open. She blinked them severally as she looked around her. She had no idea where she was but judging from the monitor, she got to know that she was in a hospital. Then it suddenly dawned on her what happened last night as the memories flooded back like a river and clashed against each other like swords on a battlefield. She felt a headache coming and she hissed.

Her son. He must have been scared when she didn't come home last night and her nightmare wasn't good because it was all about him so she lifted her stressed body from the bed and looked around her only to meet a strange pair of light brown eyes staring at her. She seemed confused at first but because of the motherly instinct in her, she just wanted to go home.

" Good morning. Here, have a cup of water. " Zach gave her a warm glass of water which she collected and drank at a go. Zach was about to start explaining why she was in the hospital but his words changed when Hera started removing the drips connected to her body.

" What are you doing? " He asked.

" I need to go home. " Hera replied.

" Home? But you are not stable yet, how can you decide to leave? " Zach was confused. Hera didn't reply as she focused on what she was doing. She stood up from the bed. Due to her weakness, she bent slightly as if to fall but Zach caught her in his arms quickly and looked at her with creased brows.

" Will you at least just think of your health before doing something stupid? " Zach scolded. Hera, with the little strength left in her, pushed Zach away.

" Let me be. I don't need your help, okay? It's my body and my soul, I can do and undo anything positive or negative to it so don't bother with your facade. It's useless. " Hera snapped at him.

" Thanks for your help. " Hera said before leaving hastily. Zach just stood in a place, shocked at the reaction he managed to get out of her. Was there anything wrong with what he said? He wondered. Didn't she say that she didn't need his help and now she was thanking him for the help? Zach became furious after he thought about her behavior.

" That was quite rude of her. I only helped her but she had to vent her anger on her helper? Very rude! " He spoke and left the ward to talk with the doctor. On his way, he dialed Ben's number.

In the downstairs part of the Young mansion, among the rooms located there was Ben's bedroom. He was on his bed, shirtless. He was clinging hard to his pillow, over cuddling the poor inanimate thing. His snores were a bit loud as he continued to drown in the river of sleep until his phone rang. He rolled to the other side of the bed, completely ignoring the call, and continued sleeping. The phone rang again for the second time. He picked up the call and put the phone on his ear.

" Hello. " He spoke with a raspy voice.

" Ben, if you don't get to the hospital in the next ten minutes when I drop this call, you are getting fired and being sent to army school. " Zach's command tone sounded.

" Wait...what! " Ben's eyes flew open and he jumped out of bed immediately.

" Boss, just give me thirty minutes. I need to still take my bath. "

" Do that after you pick me up! " Zach disconnected the call. Ben grunted as he ran to the bathroom for a quick freshie.

Where Zach was standing, he decided to see if he had any money left with him. He searched every pocket but he found nothing. He was sure that he kept some change there last night and even this morning, he still found the little amount so where was it? It didn't fall to the ground so who could have picked it or stolen it from him unaware? Was it that woman? His thoughts ran wild at this point. How dare she!
