Chapter 10: Saving a Life

Nnenna blinked, stunned. 'A personal therapist?'

Her curiosity deepened. "But...Aunty, isn't he a VIP like me? Shouldn't we have the same therapist?"

The nurse sighed, though her patience remained intact, her annoyance tempered by Nnenna's earnest tone. "He's not just any VIP," she explained.

"His friend is the director of this hospital. And according to what I've heard, the man is very...particular. He doesn't let anyone touch him unless they've washed thoroughly, twice."

"Because of this, he's given his own special therapist, his own room, and even his own section at the far end of the VIP ward. Notice how his room is at the very edge? That's the best part of the ward."

The nurse leaned in slightly, her tone growing serious. "Don't get any ideas about getting close to him. He's moody and dangerous. It's best to steer clear of someone like him."

Nnenna nodded, pretending to absorb the nurse's warning, but her mind was racing. 'So he's scary, moody, and hates being touched? Hmph. I don't care if he's the devil himself! I need those good points!'

Determined, she excused herself and wandered off, evading the watchful eyes of the hospital staff. She resumed her self-guided tour, familiarizing herself with every corner of the building.

Her exploration brought her to the reception area, where a commotion suddenly erupted. A young mother burst through the doors, clutching a small child in her arms.

"Help! Someone help my baby!" the woman screamed, her face pale with panic.

The receptionist and nearby staff froze, unsure how to respond. This hospital wasn't open to just anyone; emergencies like this weren't common in such an exclusive facility.

Before anyone could react, Nnenna rushed forward with her drip stand. Without hesitation, she gently took the child from the distraught mother's arms with one hand.
