My Wicked Step Mother Episode 1 I suddenly stopped crying as l continued staring at the woman. She was obviously a nurse too and l was thrown into confusion. Another nurse suddenly broke the silence, " Doctor, the patient in the ICU is under àttack," he blared as the doctor made swift moves towards the room. I stood by the door to the ICU as l saw my dad struggling with life. Our security man kept on patting my back, reassuring me that everything was going to be alright. I couldn't cry anymore, I just watched what was going on. I prayed in my heart for God to do something. I didn't want to lose my dad as well. My temperature was already high and the security man made to carry me up. He took me away from the door and l didn't protest, I was not myself again. The clashing of a plate on the floor woke me up from the bed. I suddenly jerked up from the bed as the security man held a plate in his hands, I had obviously fallen asleep. "Joy, good morning, small madame." he said as he placed a food flask on the bed. "Mr John, where is my dad?" I said as l looked deeply into his eyes. John was our security man's name. He was all fun and jovial. He always calls me small madame. He began dishing out the food in the plate and he started talking. "Your daddy is fine now," please eat your food." I reluctantly rejected he food and l asked to see my dad once again. He looked at me with pitiful eyes and he continued dishing out the food. He brought the food closer to me and I àngrily hit the plate with my hand and it went pouring to the ground. A feminine voice came blaring in the air. "Spoilt brat. Why did you pour the food away? I'm sure your mother didn't raise you well," she said as she was totally àngrily. I raised my head to look at who was talking and lo and behold it was the same woman who I had caught smiling when everyone was mourning my mom's dèath. "Don't you have home training? Why will you pour the food away?" she yelled again and this time around Mr John, our security man challenged her. "Don't ever shout at my small madame again. Is it your food she threw away? Please mind your business," Mr John said as he bent to the floor to pack the food into the waste bin. The nurse stared at me with evil eyes and l was speechless. She snapped her fingers at me and went dashing away. I sat on the bed as l remembered my mom telling me something. I now remembered the nurse's face. Mom once told me she had caught her staring at her husband, my dad seductively. We both came to the hospital one day for my mom's antenatal and my mom had pointed at the nurse, saying she was the one. We both laughed that day that she was just wasting her time. Now I know why she was smiling at my mom's deàd body. I shook my head vehemently, I didn't want to be believe that she was happy because of my mom's dèath. l laid back on the bed with thoughts running through my head. I made sure no one was watching and l sneaked to my dad's room. I held the door knob to his room and
