Out of the blue, a man with a black hoodie and a nose mask bumped into her, which got her frighten and made her retrieve her steps back.
She turned and was about to run when she saw another man who was already standing behind her. At this point there was no chances that she could flee so she tried shirking for help, but it was to no avail, the man behind her held her throat and was determined to kill her if she didn't keep mute.
As she was struggling for breath, the other removes the bag around her shoulder and searches for the envelope. He takes the envelope and other valuable things out of the bag and puts them in his pocket.
Fortunately, a man was passing by that street, he sees the man holding her neck, so he quickly runs to the scene and pushes the guy trying to choke her (she falls to the ground when the man releases her neck) he tricks them saying
"I have already called the police, and they are on their way here".
Charlotte crawls closer to the muggers and snatches the bag from them, they willingly let go of it because they had already emptied its contents without her awareness.
Immediately, he stands up from his bending position and runs away from the scene
She checks speedily through the bag to know if the money is still inside, but she doesn't find it, so she begins to scream saying
''Oh no, money is not inside! they've taken it, it's all gone!''
This catches the man's attention but before he could begin chasing them, they had already gone too far.
Tears run down her eyes as she packed the things on the ground inside her bag and the groceries in the sac.
She said to the stranger with her head bowed "thank you for saving me, if it hadn't been for you, I might have been dead by now."
"you're welcome" he answered.
Seeing how distressed she looked after seeing her money was taken by the muggers.
He had empathy on her and decided to help her by giving her some amount of money.
She raises up her he to see her hero. She was astonished and was staring at the man.
She says to herself (I can't believe such a fine-looking young gentleman came to save me; I might be blessed)
He hands her an envelope with an unknown sum of money''.
''How about you take it as a gift from me to you''
He waves and leaves.
She runs following him and thanks him for the money. He accepts her gratitude and hopes they meet again.
She puts the money in her purse, takes the groceries and walks to the bus station.
As she was standing at the bus station waiting for the next bus she begins to think of the "handsome man that saved her, thinking of him, she was smiling and blushing".
Before she remembered her money was stolen by the muggers, her smiley face turned to a scowled one, so she calls Brihanna.
"Hello, how are you" I mumbled.
"I'm fine, how about you" She responded.
"Also fine, are you at home, I need to speak to you about some serious issue" she hisses.
"Oh no, I'm at the hospital" she replies
"Okay, but then, can you send me the address so that I can come there" she asks.
"Okay I'll send it to you now". Brihanna replies.
Charlotte leaves the bus station and stops a cab.
She receives the location from Brihanna as she sits in the cab, she shows the driver the location of her destination on her phone.
He watches the location on the phone and takes her there safely, since he already knows the location of the hospital.
BACK AT THE HOSPITAL,
Dorothy askes "Who's that on the phone"
"It's my friend, the one I said wants to help me" she replies.
"How close are you with this friend, is it a male or female" her mum asks eagerly.
"It's a female, she was one of my best friends in high school, when I got the scholarship to study in Canada".
"Oh okay, I thought it was a male'' her mum replies in disappointment.
"Hi, please I'm looking for Mrs. Wadden". She asks the lady at the counter
"She in room 17 on the first floor". The lady replies
"Okay, thanks".
She replies as she leaves the counter. She reaches the room and knocks on the door.
