Darren: "They said I'm fine and I fainted due to weakness, that's it."

"Let's go now"

"Okay..then pack your things, I'm waiting outside." ,Aaron said and winked.

Aaron:

"Call me anytime if you don't feel good,ok!"

Then he went his home.

Darren went inside.

While unpacking this stuffs he saw a note in a grocery bag.

He looked questionably at the note and said:

"What's this?"

He took it out it and starts to read that note.

It says:

"Hello,sir! I was the one who took you to the hospital and your groceries were all messed up, so i thought I could buy you a new one so here it is.Hope you will get better soon.Thank you!"
