[ Chapter 4 recap-
"Okay I am tired of addressing him as new patient"
Walking closer to Amanda Diana asked "What should we address him as?"
Amanda gave out a mature smile and said "You can call him Mr. Swift".
'Swift' on hearing his last name Rose's expression dropped. This surname belonged to the boy who had hurt her years ago and played with her feelings. He was the cause of her misery, pain and tears. To conclude she was not fond of the new patient's last name.]
Seeing the drop in Rose's expression Amanda enquired "What happened?". "Nothing" she replied thinking that Swift is one of the most common last names and not every Swift is a terrible person.
"So would you like to meet him today?" Amanda asked.
" Yes " instantly replied Diana.
"The question was for Rose young lady" said Amanda giving her a sharp look.
"Sorry" apologized Diana. She did not get offended as she knew that Amanda masked her caring nature so that people take her words seriously.
"It is okay " she said carrying her files and walking out of the locker room.
"Yes" Rose said in an unusually loud voice so that Amanda could hear her.
Amanda looked back and Rose continued "I want to meet him."
"Okay then follow me" directed Amanda.
The three ladies walked out of the room. On reaching the first floor Amanda said "Diana take Mr. Martin to the garden for afternoon walk." Diana with a doubtful look on her face questioned "Isn't Rose supposed to take Mr. Martin on a walk? Rose was appointed for Mr. Martin right? ".
"She was. Now it is you" Amanda said.
All this while they were walking keeping pace but Diana's footsteps on hearing her words. She instantly protested "And no one cared to inform me". The tone in which she said the words was not pleasing.
Amanda with a surprised look on her face said "I thought a week long break was enough for you". The last patient of Diana was sent home a week ago. Since there was no patient who needed a caregiver she was on a week long break.
"You took my words in a wrong way. I don't have a problem attending Mr. Martin" continued Diana "I..I was just a bit shocked because all of a sudden Rose will not be attending Mr. Martin..." . She paused and after realizing she gasped "So Rose will be attending that handsome guy!" she said in an excited voice. Rose's eyes widened. 'How can someone be so careless with her words?' this question arose in her mind.
"Behave yourself" said Amanda in a firm voice. "And have you even seen him to call him handsome?" asked Amanda.
Diana behaved like a 12 year old. Her so called 'love of her life' lasted only for a week because she had crush on models who appeared on magazine covers. Every week a new model appeared on the magazine and she found her new 'love of her life'.
After a moment of silence Amanda finally said "Now leave us alone and take Mr. Martin on a walk".
"Okay" Diana replied and walked into Maverick's room. "Mr. Martin today I will be taking you for walk"
"But Rose said that you will take her place from tomorrow.." Maverick paused and the asked "Is she busy?"
"Yes, she is busy and that is why Amanda asked me to.."
"I see" he cut her words. It was evident that he did not like Rose getting replaced by Diana. Even though Diana was feeling offended she helped him to stand on his legs by holding him by his arms. It did not take them much time to reach the garden. She walked slowly keeping pace with Mr. Martin.
She was still holding Maverick by his arms when he asked " How long have you been working here ?"
"10 months"
"Oh...so you and Rose must be fr-" Maverick could not complete his sentence because he started coughing. "Can I get some water?" he managed to speak even when he was coughing heavily. Diana made him sit on one of the benches present in the garden.
"Please don't go anywhere while I fetch my bag" she requested him and left.
"You did not tell me about his condition" said Rose while climbing up the stairs.
"His condition is really critical. Before three days his family called and informed us about his situation. They said that he was missing for two days and when he finally showed up and was all drunk . He violently destroyed the glass tabletop and as a result he injured his hand. On seeing his hand bleed his family members made an attempt of touching him but he ran and locked himself in a room and that is when they contacted us. As soon as we got him out of the room, we injected him with ketamine and now Mr.Swift is unconscious since last two days . Most probably by tomorrow he will gain his consciousness".
Rose's eyes were wide open, she had never dealt with such patients. Amanda held Rose's elbows "This talk should remain between us. We took his blood samples and we found traces of alcohol and cocaine. We are suspecting him to be a drug addict too".
"Looks like I am going to have a tough time attending him" Rose confessed in a depressed voice.
Amanda smiled and said "But I trust you and your skills. After all it is me who trained you ." Rose looked into Amanda's eyes with a faint smile. "Don't worry and have confidence in yourself". Rose's faint smile turned into a prominent one and nodded her head. They walked slowly in the corridor of the fifth floor. Amanda opened the door of the patient's room and walked in followed by Rose.
Rose looked at the patient and her eyes were wide open. It was Aydrien Swift. His tall body was covered in white sheet. Only his face was visible showing his light-hued skin, sharp nose, thin lips and dark brown hair except for his most beautiful feature, his eyes. They were one in a million. The perfect combination of sea green and sky blue which looked innocent and mischievous at the same time but those magnificent pair of orbs had once betrayed.
"Help!Help!" cried Diana.
