David had used another number to call her and when she realised it was him, she was about to hang up but he pleaded with her not to.
"I called to apologize." He said, taking her by surprise but she hoped this wasn't another tactic of his to ask her for more money.
"And to thank you." He added. "My sister is better now and would be discharged later today. She told me your doctor brother was always nice to her." His voice grew lower and she heard him sniffled as if trying to suppress his sobs.
"I thought I was going to lose her. A doctor said her condition would have been worse had she not been attended to in time."
