5 Twists and Turns


    5 Twists and Turns


    Emma, her patience wearing thin, faced the absurd situation unfolding around her. “What do you want


    from me now?” she demanded.


    “You are going to drive us to the hospital,” Alexmanded, cradling Be gently as he headed for


    the door.


    Momentarily frozen, Emma was jolted into action by her mother–inw’s spiteful shove. “Hurry up, if


    anything happens to Be, it’s on you!” She hissed.


    Emma, observing her mother–inw’s bitter demeanor, sensed herck of genuine concern for Be.


    With a morbid curiosity about the unfolding drama, she took the car keys and drove them to the


    hospital.


    Alex was busy on the phone, arranging VIP treatment for Be’s minor injury, which made Emma


    almostugh at the overreaction as she drove well below the speed limit to the hospital. This was not


    the time to get on the wrong side of thew because of a senseless drama queen like Be. Despite


    Alex’s urging to speed up so they get to the hospital on time, Emma maintained her sedate pace.


    At the hospital, the medical staff, already alerted, hurriedly attended to Be, making a show of


    urgency. Emma was genuinely amused as she saw most of the hospital staff were star–struck at

    observed the dramatics with a detached air, her heart aching with unacknowledged pain.


    As she was about to leave, a call from her estranged brother stopped her. Hearing his voice after years


    of separation brought tears to her eyes, a reminder of the family bond that still existed.


    Meanwhile, Alex remained by Be’s side, her first concern upon waking being Emma’s whereabouts.


    Alex waved outside, indicating that Emma was probably out their loitering in the hospital waiting

    TOOM.


    “Truth be told, this wasn’t Emma’s doing. Please, talk to her,” Be implored.


    Alex, irritated, dismissed her pleas. “She’s gone, and now more scandal about you is surfacing. It’s all


    her doing, and she’s going to pay for it!” He concluded, convinced of Emma’s guilt.


    Despite Be’s insistence on Emma’s innocence and willingness to forgive any supposed wrongdoing,


    Alex remained adamantly against Emma, refusing to hear anything in her defense.


    Be’s relief at Alex’s promise to protect her career was mixed with an underlying satisfaction. Once


    Alex left, her facade dropped, revealing a calcting and shrewd side. She knew she needed to find a
