Chapter 38 - Philippe recovers

Philippe recovers from his injury, the nurse arrives .
"Hello Philippe" she says and reaches out to him with somehting in her hands. "These are your tablets and these are your prescriptions" she hands it over to Philippe.
Philippe takes it and asks her about the payment. He reaches into his pockets for shillings.
"Do not worry about that sir" she says. "The city has decided to borne the expenses," she says with a smile.
The nurse walks away.
Philippe gets up and grabs his cloak, and then proceeds to leave the hospital. A positive aura lingered around him. An aura that was not seen before the crash.
As he enters the streets, he too sees the chaos that Alex saw in the streets.
It is better I reach the hotel at the earliest, he decides as he puts his hands in the cloak and walks away trying his hardest to not get noticed. A cloak amidst chaos spells nothing but trouble.
The search can wait.
"Taxi, Taxi" he calls out.
But none of them respond to him. They all speed away.
I can walk to the hotel, first I need to ask for the directions, he decides.
He heads over to some approachable bystanders who are also busy looking at the news .
"Hello sir" to a bystander.
"Yes" he responds.
"Sir, can you please give me the direction to the Hotel Willocks?" asked Philippe.
"Of course" replied the bystander and gave him the directions.
Philippe pays attention to him. Although a bit confusing, he seems to grasp the direction to the hotel.
"Thank you," Philippe says and walks in the direction of Willocks. 
Now there were no Hovercrafts hanging above his head. Just the sky and the clouds 
He walks along the streets. And for the first time in this journey he feels truly tired.
"How do I find this person?" he thinks.
The only person who i know here is Mr. Alex . And I cant trust him all that well. There is something he hides.
Self doubt begins to infect his mind. Maybe I need to head back to the kingdom, that is where I belong. This is a complete strangers land and I cant seem to get a hang of it. The people here are not as honest, they are deceptive. I shall return as a failure. The king let him relive me of my duties. I shall live the rest of my life as a commoner, as a bystander. That is what I'm fit for! 
Philippe looks up at the sky again, Father he says. Why have you left me here alone. Left me here all by myself. Only if I had half the courage you had, a fraction of the strength you had. 
Philippe continues to walk disappointed. Memories of his immortal mother starts to surface.
Suddenly,
Philippe a voice appears in his head, It was his mothers voice. He had heard it when he was a child. Now it surfaces again after a very long time. 
It says:
"Do not lose hope at any time. Even if the journey seems arduous and painful. Do not give up. Carry on with your fight son. Your calling is far greater than what you think it is . And in this journey you will meet people like you. Who are honest like you, who want to fight against injustice like you. They will help you. do not worry son"
And the voice fades away.
Philippe's strength comes back to him . He feels a sudden rush of power in his body and mind. As though he is rejuvenated from a magic portion. 
Just then, 
A car comes and stops next to him. It was a Police car!
He looks inside through the windows. "Mr. Alex" he shouts.
"Yes son" Said Alex and opened the door for him.
"Get in" he says to Philippe.
Philippe gets in the car and the car zooms away
