The next morning I woke up feeling a little better, my knees weren't hurting probably because of the pills that lucius gave me, but I still couldn't walk properly, I really had a hard time moving my legs around. I sat up from the bed, Maynard had left early today, which was good for me because I was still angry at him. I heard someone knocking on the door. "Come in." I said, even though I didn't know who it was, all I knew was that it was a harmless person. I saw lucius walking in. He was wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans and grey slippers. He was holding the first aid kit in his hands, I guess he wanted to change my bandages.
"May I?" He asked pointing at the side of the bed and I slowly nodeed my head and he sat down.
"How are you feeling today?" He asked me. Well at least somebody in this house cared to ask how I was doing, unlike Maynard.
"I am not feeling any pain right now but I still can't move my legs around as I please." I said.
"Alright, let me check them up." He said and I removed the blanket over me. He started removing the bandages from my knees and I could feel a slight pain when he touched the position where my wounds were.
"It's okay, it will heal soon, if I apply the medicine on your wounds every day then your wounds will heal in less than a week." He said.
"Okay, thank you. You can use a wheelchair for now, I'll go and get it. " He said. He got up from the bed abd he went out of the room to get a wheelchair. It was nice to have someone take care of you, I didn't know why but I wished that it would have been Maynard doing all this stuff, I shook my head not wanting to think about him, because I was still angry at him and I wanted to beat him up so badly.
After a few minutes I saw the door open and Lucius walked in with a wheel chair. It didn't look like the normal wheelchair that I was expecting, this one looked like those kind of wheelchairs that you only see in movies. I looked more like an electronic one. It even had a controller. Lucius picked me up from the bed and he sat me down on the wheelchair. It was so comfortable, I move my back freely. "You can be able to move around the house now that you have this, and when you want to climb up or down the stairs to just have to push this button." He said pointing at a blue button that was in the middle of what looked like a remote control of some sort.
"Thank you." I said.
"My pleasure, I'll tell one of the maid's to come and help you bath, I doubt that you will be able to do it yourself." He said. I nodded my head in response, this guy was making my life and time here enjoyable, unlike some guy.
After about an hour and a half I was finally done bathing abs getting dressed, I went out of the room in my new and probably most comfortable wheelchair in the whole world.
As I was on the hallway I heard Maynard's voice and he seemed to be arguing with someone, so I moved to where he was wanting to listen to who and what he was arguing about, even though the last time I did that I ended up kneeling under the sun on the pavement for hours, it was till worth the risk. I followed the sound of his voice and it was coming from his study, I stopped on the doorway to listen. "I told you, I am not coming back!" He shouted, he seemed to be talking on the phone. And the phone was on speaker.
"Maynard, i am not asking you to come back I am telling you to, and this is non negotiable!"The person shouted, it seemed to be a man, an older man. Maybe it was his relative.
"It doesn't matter whether you are asking me or telling me, I am not coming back. My mother and lucius are the only family that I have, and now that lucius is here and my mother is dead, I have no reason to return." He said. I was shocked, his mother I dead? What did he mean by that? But isn't his mother Sarah, and I remember her being alive and well so why would he say that his mother us dead, and what's with his mother and lucius being his only family. I stopped thinking and listened for more.
"... How dare you talk to me like that, is this how I raised you?" He shouted. This was all confusing me now, who was this man? "If you don't come back here I am going to do something worse." He said. It sounded more like a threat than a warning.
"I can't wait to see what it is that you are going to do, goodbye." He said, and I stopped hearing that man's voice so Maynard might have hung up the call.
"Are you not tired of kneeling on the pavement or do you want something worse?" I heard a voice from behind me, turned around and thankfully it was lucius. "Come on let's go downstairs before he sees us, well you actually." He said, and we both made our way downstairs.
"Is there something you would like to explain to me?" I asked him. He really did owe me an explanation, especially Maynard.
"If you want to enjoy your days then don't ask Maynard about what you heard and talk nor think about it." He said.
"What? What do you mean?" I asked.
"Just listen to my advice, but if you want to live a miserable life then you can ask him and even talk about it, but I am sure that that is not what you want." He said. He had a serious look on his face, he really meant what he was saying, but that only made me even more curious.
