Tremaine's heart skipped a beat.
He quickly asked Matthew what had happened.
Matthew said that Yesseca was startled when Tremaine passed out.
Tremaine's face turned white. "How is she right now? Is she okay?"
"Luckily we got her into the operating room in time." Matthew added.
Tremaine breathed out a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to see her."
"Tremaine, don't you get it?" Matthew said very seriously, "She collapsed because she saw you! She was severely aggravated. We were lucky to save her this time, but we might not be so lucky a second time!"
"She doesn't have much time left! Let her live out her last few days in peace!"
Tremaine was stunned.
A mess of emotions flashed across his face before he finally said, "I'm going to see her. I won't do or say anything that will aggravate her." "Tremaine." Matthew said quietly, "It doesn't matter what you do or say to her, the very sight of you is enough to aggravate her!"
Tremaine was speechless.
He simply stood in place with his eyes closed.
Even though Matthew couldn't see Tremaine's eyes, he could feel the pain he was going through.
Tremaine continued standing in place, not uttering a single word.
After a very long time, Tremaine opened his eyes again.
He then said, "Okay, I won't see her."
Tremaine was getting ready to leave Agaphen City and to return to Nashaland.
But he had one more thing to do.
He did this quietly, without anyone else finding out.
He did a check up.
He wanted to see if his heart was a match for Yesseca.
The results he got weren't what he had expected.
Tremaine however, unexpectedly put on a strong and calm face and immediately went straight to the presidential office.
When they arrived back at the office, Tremaine got started on work that had been accumulating over the past few days.
Sheldon was worried.
He said, "Sir, perhaps you should get some rest first before you go right back into work."
Tremaine looked at Sheldon and said, "Go outside and wait."
"Mr. President..."
"Go outside and wait!"
Sheldon had no other choice but to submit. "Yes, Mr. President."
He then walked out of the office.
He chose to leave the door ajar, just in case anything happened to Tremaine.
Sheldon would look into his office every couple of minutes to make sure he was okay.
