“We can’t, Shreedah’s daughter life is at stake here, they’ll go after her if we dare go to the cops and i definitely don’t want that. She can’t loose her child just because we want justice.”
“Oh… Damn! Those badass will surely get meet their match soon” Doc Luc said.
“I hope so too”
“Seems they are done” Luc said and Ethan walked up to them.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Good day Mrs Helen” Ethan said bowing a bit.
He adjusted his face cap as he raised his head.
“Thank you so much” Was the first word Mrs Helen said to him before pulling him into a hug. “It’s fine” Ethan smiled.
“I wouldn’t be on my feet if not for you, My family could’ve still getting drag over a debt we know nothing about, i won’t have to live with the sadness of dieing anytime soon anymore. Thank you so much Mr Ethan” Mrs Helen said, still embracing him.
“I’m glad you’re fine now, I’m so happy to see you back on your feet looking as energetic as ever” Ethan smiled.
“All thanks to you” Mrs Helen smiled too as she released him from her embrace.
“Enough of the ‘thank you’ ma’am” Ethan said.
“I have to thank you cause im so grateful, you did more than enough to ensure my health is back to normal. We may not have enough to pay you back but i promise we’ll do every little thing we can to make you happy too”
“Yes” Irish said.
“We’re really grateful” Arusha said.
“It’s being so long i saw you looking this fit, you look great Mum” Irish smiled.
“I feel great also” Mrs Helen smiled.
“You saw lots of Indians right?” Arusha asked.
“Lots of them, i would have loved to go on a tour but i couldn’t wait to see you guys”
“Doc Luc had all us worried, we never knew he was cooking up something delicious” Irish said. “You can now call me world best surprise planner” Doc Luc said and they laughed.
“So, we can go home with her now right?” Arusha asked.
“No, she’s gonna be in the hospital for some days to complete her treatment” Doc Luc said. “Really?” Arusha asked.
“Yeah”
“That’s better then, it’s gonna give me more time for the apartment hunting”
“Apartment hunting?” Mrs Helen asked.
“Yeah, we won’t be staying in that apartment anymore, we’ll be getting a better and saferapartment” Arusha grinned and anyone would think he’s the one going to pay for the apartment.
“Let’s go to your ward to continue our discussion, i don’t want cameras on Ethan anytime soon” Irish said.
“Ohh… yeah”

“This is better and wider!” Arusha said to Irish as they both checked pictures of apartment put up for sale on her phone”
They were back home after spending much time their mum.
Arin and Gabrielle will be going with them tomorrow to check on Mrs Helen.
“Didn’t you see the price?” Irish asked.
“Ohh” Arusha raised his brow.
“Let’s continue searching” Arusha said and they did.

“This is so tiring!”Arusha laid on Irish’s bed.
They were yet to find an apartment they can afford.
“Are you okay Miss Irish?” One of her bodyguards asked through the door.
“Yes i am” Irish shouted and Arusha laughed.
“Your bodyguards are so funny” He said.
“Sometimes i do forget i even have bodyguards, i feel so uncomfortable with them” Irish sighed. “That’s because you’re not used to having them around” Arusha said.
“Wow! Come check this apartment Arus” Irish smiled.
“Great! We finally found a perfect one with a perfect price”
“And the location is not so far from here, we’re gonna go check it out tomorrow after leaving the hospital”
“And then we move in when?” Arusha asked.
“Let’s go check it out first” Irish said.
“I’m so gonna miss this place” Arusha said sadly.
“Man! We haven’t even paid for the new apartment yet” Irish rolled her eyes.
“I know right” Arusha laughed.
“May i come in?” Ethan asked through the door.
“Yes” Irish said.
He walked in and closed the door behind him.
“What’s up?” He asked, settling on the chair.
“We found an apartment” Arusha said.
“Yeah and we’ll be checking it out tomorrow” Irish said.
“Ohh… great, i hope the price isn’t too high?”
“It isn’t and even if it is, i can afford it. I’m a wealthy woman yunno” Irish said dramatically and they laughed.
“The price isn’t too high, it’s affordable” Irish smiled.
“Ohh.. okay” Ethan said.
“Arusha, how would it feel to resume Ivy Royals high school on Monday?” Ethan asked. “Huh?” Arusha asked, sure he had heard wrong.
“What!” Irish exclaimed under her breath.
Ivy Royals?
One of the top schools in California?
He has only seen the school’s picture once and he had skipped after seeing the manificence and the wealth lavished on it, he knew he wouldn’t even dare dream being a cleaner in theschool not to talk of being a student.
The grandeur is so different from every school’s.
They always come first in every freaking thing.
It was also said that their teachers all graduated from the best universities across the states with the highest GPS.
Ivy Royals is a school of the rich, it’s not even affordable for middle class, not to mention the poor.
Their school fees isn’t revealed to the public but it is said that they do pay huge amount of money.
“I.. i don’t un.. understand” Arusha stammered.
“Well… I’ve wanted to change your school since the first time we discussed but i felt it’d be better if your mum survives first and I’m glad she did. I’m sorry i didn’t informed you beforehand but you’ll be resuming Ivy Royals high school on Monday as a student, your school wears will be delivered to you today” Ethan said and Arusha was left dumbfounded.
He held Irish who was also speechless from the piece of news to keep him stable.
“Mr Ethan..” Arusha said tearily before hugging him tight.
“I.. i…” Arusha was saying.
“You don’t have to say anything Arusha,” Ethan smiled, knowing he can’t find the right words to say.
He’s being so emotional right now and he perfectly understands.
“I’m so grateful” Arusha sniffed back tears.
“But.. wait… I’ll be resuming Ivy Royals?” Arusha asked waiting for the last confirmation. “Yes” Ethan nodded and Arusha’s scream of excitement echoed through the whole building .
Irish just stood dumbfounded.
**Next Day***
“You’ll be resuming Ivy Royals high school tomorrow? Mrs Helen asked in disbelief.
“Yes Mum” Arusha smiled.
“My school wears has been delivered already” He added .
Arin and Gabrielle left just now and Irish walked them to the car.
Arin agreed to leave after Mrs Helen promised to knit more beautiful sweaters for her. She’s going to make for Gabrielle too.
They all enjoyed one another’s company and they chatted like families.
“The school of the rich… how?” Mrs Helen asked in surprise.
“Mr Ethan is going to be sponsoring me” Arusha said.
“Oh.. my! Wow! I really need to thank him, why isn’t he here today though?”
“I think he has an urgent meeting to attend. I didn’t sleep a wink last night, i was up checking more informations about the school online and I’m so amazed, i still can’t believe I’ll step into that… school tomorrow” Arusha sighed happily.
“You’re sure gonna miss your friends”
“Friends? You know i don’t have a friend in my present school, the guys don’t ever want to talk to me cause i can have their girls with just a wink and of course because of my brains” Arusha said with pride.
“You don’t ever stop talking about girls” Mrs Helen dragged his cheek painfully.
“Ouch.. Mum!” He pouted, rubbing his cheek.
Mrs Helen laughed.. “I’m sorry about that”
“Your apology isn’t accepted” Arusha frowned.
“I guess you need more cheek dragging then..”
“No… no” Arusha stood up from her bed and walked to the chair.
Mrs Helen laughed heartily “Com’on”.
“So.. how are you gonna cope there? You know it’s far different from your present school” She said.
“I know but trust me I’m gonna cope” Arusha said.
“I know you will”
“You need to see the activities performed in that school, their garden..” Arusha was saying.
“Enough of the school talk already Mr Ivy Royals” Irish said walking into the ward.
“Have you told mum we’ve found an apartment ?” She asked.
“Really?”
“Yes Mum, we’ll be going to check it out after we leave here” Irish said.
“Ohh… okay. And i must say you stay with amazing people, they are as nice as Ethan” “Yes! They are” Irish smiled.
“I would never have believed if i was told I’ll ever meet Ethan Harlow. Everything happened so fast” Arusha said.
“Yes, so fast” Mrs Helen agreed.
“And i wouldn’t have believed if i was told I’ll attend Ivy Royals high school” Arusha grinned. “Arrrgh!” Irish sighed.
“I’m so happy for you Irish, I’m proud of you and I know your dad will be too” Mr Helen said.
Irish and Arusha fall silent.
” Don’t start mum, All this are the past” Arusha said hugging her as Mrs Helen pats his hair.
Irish tried to force back the tears threatening to fell.
“Come here” Mrs Helen said and they all hugged eachother.
Crying.

“We shouldn’t take long in checking out the apartment, i need to go get ready for SCHOOL tomorrow” Arusha smiled.
“Geez!” Irish groaned and he laughed.
