Mrs Williams Smith POV

It's been three days since we been hoping and her to see her open her eyes . 

They are several thoughts and questions running through my mind, like what was a girl her age doing on the road alone at that time of the night with her belongings.

But I'll get my answers when she's is fully recovered.

I was staring at her when I saw her moving her hand,I thought I was hallucinating but when she opened her eyes I realized it was real 

I knelt down and started to thank God for making her conscious .

She is indeed a very beautiful girl .

I went straight to her bed she looked surprised to see me. 

The doctor came in checked her and said she would sleep discharged in two days. 

She tried saying something I told her not to bother ,

I asked her what name is she said Nnenna .

 I told her to rest so I could get her something to eat.

I went to the car to get the things I brought from home.

I came inside ,I gave her the food. She didn't eat , instead she asked me who I was: I told her that she got hit by my car three days ago. 

 I told her not to be scared I tasted the food before she even agreed to eat.

After eating I asked her about her parents and why no one came looking for her, she told me her parents are late .

She narrated the whole story to me, 

It's so pathetic I asked her if she has any where to go to she said no .

 I decided at that moment to make her my responsibility, the accident really did happen for a purpose.

Since everything was ready I decided to  stay with her in the hospital till she's discharged.

My elder daughter will take care of business before we return back,

 I have  two kids Belinda the eldest and Brian the youngest he lives in America with my husband .  

He schools there ,he's in the University right now.

Nnenna's POV 

I was surprised when I woke up and saw an unknown woman,I then remembered how I was sent out the house and got hit by a car . 

She's a very nice person , she treats me like she has known me for long , she even said I will start living with her when I get discharged .

 It's was a sign of a good beginning.

Nnenna's POV

We arrived at Mrs Williams house ,it's indeed a  mansion house.

 She's really wealthy,I always thought that the rich are wicked sets of people but I guess I was totally wrong .

We entered into the sitting room it is indeed beautiful, the interior Is way beautiful than the exterior. 

She took me to a room upstairs and told me that is going to be my room, I am so happy, she asked if I was okay with the designs I said I am.

I was shocked because ever since my parents died my opinions were never considered .

I asked her if she took my belongings she said yes and gave them to me but said I won't need them anymore,

I was surprised by what she meant , she told me to freshen up and take a nap . I went into the bathroom I hurriedly came out I was really surprised it looks so different I've never seen anything like this before .

 I don't even know how to use any of the appliances in the bathroom,I need someone to teach me all this.

 I opened the door to my room I was about going to look for mom .

I met her , she was on her way to my room. She asked if I was having a hard time, 

I told her everything  she followed me to the room to teach me how to use the appliances.

She showed me how to use everything she then gave me a new towel to use when I'm done bathing.

After I was done bathing,I was thinking of what to wear when I saw new sets of underwear and a multicolored floral flayed gown and cute flip flops.

 I wore it and looked at the mirror I am surprised I look so different in a good way.

I lay down on the bed, it was so soft and comfy , I slept off in a few minutes.

   Mrs Williams Smith POV

I feel so blessed to have Nnenna, she's so sweet and innocent, even when I told her of sueing her relatives she told me not to, I just dropped the idea . 

I told Belinda about her, she has been looking forward to see her.

I went to her room to check on her , she was sleeping peacefully I pecked her cheeks and left the room.

 I'll do my very best to treat her like a queen.

Nnenna's POV 

I woke up and checked the time, it was 6pm it been long I took a nap cause I'm always busy with house chores. 

I left the kitchen and went to the sitting room I sat down when I saw Mom coming downstairs.
