"Do you have any plans after our schedule?" Sean, one of the interns in St. Marys Hospital asked Samantha while they walked in big strides in the corridor.
He was older than her for three years and he was in his last year of his studies.She was having her internship as part of her training in taking Doctor of Medicine, a preparation to be a cardiologist."I always have. Bonding with my son!" Samantha simply replied while she glanced at him.Sean nodded for a while then also stared at her."Sometimes I wonder who that b*stard who just abandoned a little angel!" Sean reacted while squinting his eyes.He also nodded at some nurses who were smiling at him as they walked by. In that hospital, Sean was named as the 'Heartthrob Doctor' and Samantha was 'The Lucky Woman' for he almost bewitched the whole nursing station with his signature smile especially if he would show his single dimple on his left cheek."Thanks but it's me who left. Look! They're thr"News flash bros! The blue-eyed guy was shot in the airport in Ireland!" Chester announced when they came to visit Albert in the mansion.They were in the recreational room in the mansion just a glass wall distance to the infinity pool. He was holding a glass of cranberry juice with his right hand while his left was holding a cue.Edward on the other hand, moved his arm smoothly back, then forward in a pendulum motion. The rest of his body remained still as he stroked through the cue ball, letting the cue come to rest naturally."Whops! Bulls eye!" he raised his fist gesturing a victory while playing billiards."You mean somebody planned to kill him?" he then asked glancing at Chester.Albert was just watching his friends while listening to their talks. He pushed his wheelchair and moved to the wine rack.It was just five in the afternoon and never really had a nice lunch but he wanted to drown himself with wine again. He opened a bottle and poured a gl
"Young Master Michaels, please you need to listen to us. You have to stop drinking and try to exercise your legs. Move them little by little!" his new doctor beseeched him but instead of listening, he gulped another glass of wine in his hand while staring blankly on his legs.He had grown stash and little beard and no plan of shaving them.His private nurse once tried to clean his face but Albert just brushed her hand off and the shaver and cream fell loudly on the tiled floor.The nurse also received a hurtful scolding. Since then no one had ever touched him again."Young Master!" the doctor still tried to speak gently while staring at the man who was just by the window watching whatever it was outside in his own dim room.He didn't want to turn on the lights. He didn't want to open the glass window. His bed was a mess and him most of all...was a total disaster!Nobody had the courage to ask when was his last bath but everyone could guess, probab
He fell down the floor and a loud thud echoed in his room. He irked in pain and tried to get up but his legs couldn't even feel anything."Ahhh!" he screamed frustrated."Albert!""Young Master!"Both Christopher and Andy exclaimed, worried look were all over their faces as they came rushing in. Jaden were also present and he went in first.He held Albert in bridal style as the latter irked in pain. He gently placed him on his adjustable bed and reclined the head tilt.He glanced at Albert as he moved a distance and saw his desperate look. He felt pity on his Young Master who was once full of life and arrogance but now he looked like a living dead."Be strong, Young Master. Someday, you will meet her again!" Jaden smiled as he gently tapped Albert's shoulder.The latter just squinted his eyes on him then looked away."Albert, do you need anything?" Christopher asked anxiously."No, dad! I just fell while sleeping!" he softly replied.
That afternoon at exact five, Samantha and Dr. Turman talked to each other about their super special patient's condition. Dr. Turman was just five years older than Samantha and he was a General Surgeon. He was not the so-called hot doctor like Sean but he was also good looking.He explained to her everything including his gastritis. That's why that evening, Samantha checked all of his food diet from the tiniest part to its fullest.Although, Doctor Turman's dietary plan was excellent, she still made sure that Albert had them on time.Aside from that, she stashed all of the hard drinks including soft acidic drinks in the fridge and in the wine rack. She changed them to milk and green tea with raw honey."Thanks Doctor Turman!" Samantha told Doctor Turman after an hour of serious talks in Christopher's study room.Christopher and Lauren were also present and they had a high hope that Samantha could make Albert walk or better to say, revive his lost life.
She fed him with gentleness and care not minding the curious looks of the people in the dining table.Dr. Turman's mouth which was full of food was slightly open. Christian was also glancing at them from time to time. Christopher and Lauren were smiling as they stared at each other."I think I am full!" Albert whispered when he saw that Samantha was still spooning some soup."Are you? But you have to finish this so you won't get hungry later!" she uttered as she put the spoon closer to his mouth."Do I have to? This soup doesn't taste anything!" Albert complained."For a while, you have to eat something tasteless. Your gastritis is almost severe. Here, just three more spoons!" Samantha explained while stirring the soup on his bowl.Albert had no choice but to follow. When he was finished with his meal, he glanced at her plate."You didn't eat yet!" he frowned."Ow! I'll eat now that you're finished!""Next time don't feed me anymore. I ca
"Who does he think he is? How dare him? It's because of you why I had those stupid photos, jerk!"Samantha was ranting alone in her bedroom after storming out in the rose garden a while ago. She was sitting on the edge of her bed while her hands crossed over her chest and with her legs crossed. She was glaring at the close door from time to time.She vented her anger for a while before she got up. But before she opened the door, she remembered what had just happened and got mad again."Albert Michaels, you think I'm still the same? You're wrong, moron! That Samantha who staggered everytime she was with you before is gone. Gone for a long time!" she grumbled in the air imagining he was listening to her.However, when she was done grunting and as she opened the door, she would like to shrink on her spot.A dark furious look was waiting in the entrance door."Done mumbling? If so, feed me my medicine now!" Albert annoyingly exclaimed before he turned aroun
"You're the only one who can help him. As a father, I'm begging you!""Master Michaels, I can't...""Samantha!"She shook her head and not even a single word from Christopher registered in her mind.She had her own thought.Own decision.Own plan....For Tristan's sake!"I can't afford to see him like this. I'm going to help him!"Finally, a glim of hope sparkled in the father's eyes. He clasped Samantha's hands that were resting and trembling on the table while holding one of Albert's photos."Thank you, Samantha. I'll always be grateful to you and to your two families, the Houston and the Reynolds!" Christopher uttered as he choked on his words.After that lunch meeting, she immediately filed for a temporary leave in the hospital where she was an intern. Sean was surprised with her abrupt leaving but when she explained that the patient was a family friend, he could finally understand."I'm not against helping him recover
"What is he thinking bringing that b*tch back here? We're already suffering hell from him and now he's bringing back his witch's wife?"Laila was grumbling in another guest room next to Samantha's room but just across Albert's room while fixing the bed covers and the pillows."I think I need to leave this mansion now. It's getting really hot here. Like burning, like lava. It's already hard to breathe!" she violently dropped the two new pillows covered with white sheets on the headboard when Samantha heard her voice in the entrance door."Hey!" she exclaimed as she opened the door."Huh! Sam, you scared me. I thought that witch doctor has arrived!" she uttered as she turned around."Somebody's coming? Who?" Samantha squinted her eyes on her and also looked around.The furniture in that guestroom were all new including the queen sized bed. The curtains were elegantly expensive. The fabric beddings were as soft and as fluffy as a white fur.When she w
