Chapter 4: The Donor

April pov:

I went out of the hospital to buy something to eat. When I returned, my father was still not around, so I decided to stay and with for him. I looked for my mother's new room because the doctor said they had transfer my mother to the private room as the sponsor requested. I don't know what to do in these moments, seeing the whole room used for mom.

"How can I pay the man who helped us if I don't know him?" sigh I said before I sat down in the soft hospital chair and looked selfpity at my mother who was almost lifeless. There was a lot of oxygen in her mouth and my poor mother's body. I cried again as I watched mother. “You don't deserve every pain, your to kind and caring. Your always think what is good for me but look at you now, I can't even do what is good for you mama!” I cried as I kisses her hand hoping for a miracle that she heal and I overcome it. I just stopped sobbing when the door suddenly opened and a man who was wearing a doctor's uniform entered but I don't think he was Doctor Alvarez. He looked younger than the doctor I knew but I couldn’t quite see the overall look of his face because he was wearing a face mask. Moments later, our bodies seemed paralyzed. We remained in our respective positions. Deafening silence wrapped around us. Our eyes were talking, as if I knew him the way he give a stared at me. It was full of concern and sincerity. I was suddenly touched my chest causing me to come back to reality. My chest is beating so hard, I feel like I'm about to run out of breath with so much nervousness but why do I feel this way on him like how I felt to Mark earlier? Such a stupid encounter, but how this thing possibly happen again?

"Ahmp, excused me doc?" I got up from my seat to talk to him and drive away the strange feelings I had for him. He quickly twisted his body to face my mother and avoiding me.

“Can I ask a question? Where is Dr. Alvarez?” I asked as if the young doctor was suddenly taken aback when our eyesight was meet each other as he turn to face me again. "Doc?" I repeat when I can't heard any answer from him.

“What do you need from him? I am in charge of the patient now. ” its cold answer while he step move closser to me. My heart betrays me again, my heartbeat got even faster. The weird especially of this feeling. I don’t know what to do at these times. He seemed to want to say something that I didn't know what it was because only our eyes were talking.

“Ahm. I-I just wanted to ask him s-something.” I stuttered as I bit my lower lip. The closer he got to me, the more I could feel the crowds around me , my heartbeat quickened again as our eyes met again. “April? I'm your dono- ” “April, my daughter?” he couldn't continue what he was supposed to say when the door opened and my father spat from there. I ran to my father because I didn't know what to do, the young doctor remained behind us.

"Papa, what took you so long?" I asked worriedly. "I borrowed money from my son's employer." his breathless answer. “Did, your boss give what you need to?” my question "Yes, but not big but also it's a big help for your mother medications." I took a deep breath, it was as if a thorn had been pulled out of my throat when I found out my father's answer.

"Papa, you're pale, have you eaten yet?" full of concern I asked while checking his body heat temperature. He didn't answer so I commanded him to sat down first and carefully picked up the food I had bought earlier. I handed the food to my father and then sat next to him.

"Thank you April for being so kind and loving daughter, did you eat already?" worried his question. I smiled at him then I put my arm around his shoulder. “Don't worry about me, you know me a lot, I am strong." I brag so it won't worry anymore even though I am so hungry. I even showed my muscle like a man that makes my father laughed at it while eating the food I give.

“Thank you sweetheart, that's why papa lovea you because of your attitude.” my father said as he kissed on my forehead.

“I love you more and more papa, I don't know what happened to me if you and mama gone!” I said while giving him a fake smile becaus honestly, my heart is bleeding. I wanted to cry but I don't want to my parents see me that I am weak.

“Papa, I have something to tell you, our problems get solve. I found money.” I said smiling, I don't even think that there still another person inside this room aside from me and my good father.

“By the way, April, where did you get the money? Why did you move your mother to a private room? Are there no more vacant rooms that pay less? We will pay a lot for it by chance. ” it says directly. I adjusted my seat then drew a deep sigh. I looked at the young doctor again and he was staring at my side also that make's me feel embarrass. I didn't know what to say to my father now. I don't know if he believe in me once I explain at him everything.

“Ahm, I'll just tell you all later. I'll say goodbye now, I'll go home first to get our food. We can't afford to buy the food here. Too much expensive like a gold. ” I change the subject so that it doesn't ask me again. And when I got his nod, I first kissed him on the cheek and quickly left the room because I didn't know what to do during these times. I'm thankful for the man who helping us now in this hospital but, I can't help myself to feel nervous. What if, that sponsor ask me for something to do that don't want to give but it was the exchange for his help to my mother, will I be able to grant it? My mind was confused and as if out of my mind, I would not have realized that I had reached home if I had not heard the loud horn of the driver that brought me back to reality.

Other person:

I never made the mistake of helping her. I know how kind and hardworking she is, and she deserves such a reward but she never deserves to suffer more than in hell inside and out of the campus. I can almost say who really I am because I couldn't control myself when we were close together. To the great joy I felt, I almost forgot about my mission. Fortunately, April's father came because otherwise something else might have come out of my mouth earlier. What I did to help her was not easy, I left 2 million in money placed in my bank account and I am sure my parents will find out the large amount of money I released. I'm not ready for them to know and taste the anger from them but I can't let go and see the woman I love struggling.

As a young CEO, I will accept the punishment from my parents will inflict on me especially my dad. I will accept anything as long as they don't move and mess up April's life because even if I am their best child, I can be rebellious to them when they touch April. That's what I asked for in favor of Uncle Loyd, April's mother's doctor. He was Jayson's uncle that's why I call him Uncle because he was my father's younger sister's spouse.

I told him to keep secret that I was the one who helping in April in exchange for the money I had set aside for this hospital. Uncle Loyd, on the other hand, agreed to the agreement as long as he would not be affected by the anger of his wife's brother because by chance he was killed by my Aunt haha. Poor old man, seems so scared to my Aunt. I told him to leave everything to me, I would ask my sister Elena regarding this issue. I need to aske a help from her to solve the problem I had. For April, I can do everything just to see she was happy.
