"Mama, I am thirsty." Oliver just woke up and she suddenly wipe her tears and trying to act happy but what she didn't know that Oliver was already awake few minutes ago and he witnessed it all when she was crying. She walk up to his bed.
" Oh my darling you're awake. Are you okay? Do you feel pain?" She's crying at the same time laughing. "Wait I will inform the nurse."
"She rang the bell to inform the nurse that Oliver woken up." Then the nurse came in and get his vital signs. She said that if any changes to inform her immediately and his attending physician will check on him tomorrow.
"Mama, I am okay so don't worry. Remember I am a big boy now but I am very thirsty though." Oliver said pouting.
"Yes..yes..yes you're a big boy now my son." Smilingly while patting his head. " Alright mama will give you water but I only want you to have a sip for now." Amelia coaxing Oliver.
She give the water to Oliver and help him up to drink the water. She look at the time in her watch and it's going to be 5:30 in the afternoon. Why is he not here yet? She look at the door. She's waiting for John to arrive.
"Mama I am done and I am hungry." Oliver said.
"I will give you chicken soup later my darling, just let mama order it first. Okay?"
"Okay, where is papa?" Oliver asked.
"He said he will be here soon, he just need to finish something." She said and turned around to pick her phone from her handbag to call for food delivery.
She ordered the soup and it got delivered with in 20 minutes. She feed Oliver and afterwards Oliver said he will wait for his father's arrival. Then it came at 7:30 in the evening and then 8:30 in the evening and still no show. That's the time I decided to let Oliver go to sleep.
"Darling maybe papa has a very important matter to do at the company that is why he can't leave right away so you go to sleep first,okay?"
"Okay mama I understand."
"Probably papa will be here tomorrow morning so be a good boy and go to sleep."
"Okay mama, I love you!" Oliver said
" And I love you more than you know Oliver!" Amelia replied to Oliver and then kissed his forehead. She told him that he can close his eyes now and she will be there when he wakes up. The little guy closed his eyes and it didn't take long for him to be asleep.
She waited and waited and waited for John but he didn't show up. She check the time on her phone at it's already 3:00 o'clock in the morning. She told herself that maybe he left work late and just went home directly from the office.
It woke her up with her phone ringing and she see that it's John is the one calling her so she pick the call right away.
"What take you so long to answer my call? What is the name of the hospital?" He asked
She told him the name of the hospital. While waiting she wash her face and toothbrush her teeth. The good thing that she bought personal hygiene items from the shop downstairs before she returned to Oliver's room yesterday.
After twenty minutes of waiting someone knock on the door and then she open it and see her husband standing in front of the door and told him to come in.
"How much do we need to pay for this room?" He asked me right away as soon as he step inside the room.
"And also why would you pick this hospital? This hospital is very expensive, you should've pick the cheapest one." He said in a very angry tone.
"The person who saved us the one who drove us here and this is the nearest hospital and at that time I can't think anymore and my only concerned was Oliver's we'll being." She told him.
"Don't you think of spending all the money that I worked so hard for!" Then he turn around and about to leave.
"Where you going John? Aren't you going to see Oliver and wait for him to wake up?" She stopped him and hold his hand.
"Let go of me Amelia before I slap your damn face!, I can't wait for him to wake up. I am busy." Then he turned around and left.
I can't understand him anymore. We were loving and a happy family but lately he seems his slipping away from us. Am I lacking of something? Maybe I need to work hard to please him.
"Yes, definitely I need to work hard to seduce my husband." She thought and she smile. She really believes that if she work harder everything will go back as it used to be. She's determined to do everything to have a happy family.
"Good morning mama!" Oliver's call woke her up from deep thinking of things that she needs to do to execute her plan.
"Oh, Hi good morning my darling! You want breakfast or wash up first?" She asked him.
"Wash up first please mama then breakfast." He smilingly looking up to me.
She help him wash up and help him change his hospital gown afterwards. She then give him his breakfast.
Knock..knock..knock!
Come in!
"Good morning Mrs Johnson and Oliver." The doctor greeted both of them with a gentle smile .
"I am here Oliver to examine you, will that be ok?" He asked Oliver slowly approaching his bed so the child will not feel threatened in any way and flash Oliver his genuine smile.
Oliver look at me for approval and I nodded. Dr. Sison introduce himself and examine Oliver very gently.
"Oliver can go home today but he needs to come back for check up in three days time." Dr. Sison said.
"Now young man,you can go home and I want you to relax at home. Be a good boy and listen well to your mommy okay?
"Okay" Oliver said shyly.
Amelia thank the doctor and show him off to the door.
