"Hello! Who's on the line?"
"Hello! This is Goodwill Hospital. The owner Of this phone was involved in an accident and only want... "
"What!?"
I can't believe this.
In my mind I saw Bezaleel broken legs and bandages all over his head and arms.
I closed my eyes to delete that horrible picture in my mind.
I quickly took my purse 👜 and run down the stairs. Luckily I stayed near the boda boda stage. Most of the time when I'm not in hurry I would pretend to walk so that one☝️ of them can follow and beg to drop me wherever I would like. But this time I crossed the road and simply sat on the one which was near. I told him to ride to Goodwill hospital. I did this while putting on my helmet.
Within 10 mins I was at the hospital entrance.
At the reception I inquired Bezaleel's room.
I knew I had to give the receptionist time to go through the files but I was real 😟.
At the end of the century she finally found out where Bezaleel was. I didn't wait to be given directions since I knew the hospital well. So I rushed through the corridors to the wards.
There he was at the general males wards.
He was lying down in bed his left arm bandaged. His legs had bruises too but not that serious like his arm. His eyes were closed. Guess he is sleeping. I stood at the bedside inspecting him. Sensing someone around he slowly opened his eyes.
"My love? You came...."
"Yes! How do you feel now?"
"It isn't much painful like early. I'm glad you came...."
"What happened?"
"I was driving uncle Ben's new car downtown when suddenly a young lady carelessly crossed the road. I tried to avoid hitting her but ended up hitting a packed truck on the roadside."
"Oh my love"
I can't imagine how horrible it must have been
"Don't worry 😉 my love. I won't die yet before we get married"
Seriously 😳? What marriage is he talking about? "Stop joking 🙃 around. Have you informed your parents? I was with Dulce shortly before the nurse called. I should call her...."
"No"
What! But why?
"Not until they take this bandage off my arm. I don't want to worry my parents and telling Dulce isn't going to help either."
It made sense not to worry his parents especially his mother who is sick. But Dulce will make an issue out of this now that I threw her out my house.
"My love Dulce has to know this! Anyway how sure are you your uncle hasn't informed your parents? "
Before he could say anything his mother came in with his father behind her
"Oh my little boy! What happened to you? How many times did I warn you to be careful on the road?I'm going to kill that Ben for sure...."
"Mum mum! I'm fine 🙂. You don't need to kill anyone." He tried to calm his mother
Besides you're not feeling alright yourself Mum. You shouldn't worry too much about me cause I'm not sleeping in this hospital tonight."
"What!" The three of us exclaimed in unison
Yes. I still have things to do. I can still walk perfectly. There's no need for me staying here .
"Then we're going home after you're discharged" Mrs Marks demanded
"Mum please!! I still have work to do this I can't go home with you"
I can't believe it. He is thinking of work with the situation
"Then I'll move in with you. I mean you need someone to take care of you until you recover" I suggested
Mr Marks turned to look at me for the first time since they got here.
"Finally!I guess there's an advantage for this accident!"
This guy is shameless
