CHAPTER 5:
Debra was busy in her store with an old lady, when George entered into the store. He looked weak. He put a few things in the cart and fell down on the floor of her shop. She called for help..George had fainted and he was sweating. When the paramedics arrived and took him to the hospital.
She had to continue working and attending costumers unless everyone became normal...but something was bothering her. She thought that George was clearly a nice cheerful person... and wondered why he suddenly got so weak..how he reached such a weird point in a day...all she thought was that he must be sick already...although appeared normal.
Maisey had arrived home like usual by her school bus. Debra closed the store an hour earlier and thought to check on the new person. She picked Maisey from home and they both visited him. They got his room number after a few inquiries and proceeded to see him. They found him laying on the hospital bed in the hospital room.
"Hi! George...how are you doing now, I mean it was sad to find that you are not so well. George was about to ecplain himself but the nurse entered in. She took George 's temperature.
" Why are you so cold sir?"
The nurse said to him.
"What do you mean, is he alright?"
Debra asked the nurse.
" No he is not so alright...his temperature is lower than normal and he had been complaining of severe body aches...which he said could be due to extreme indulgence in work and not getting enough sleep. His blood report showed no traces of harmful drugs but his platelets are decreasing which is not good at all."
The nurse briefed her about his condition and left the room.
" I am sure you will be fine soon, but is there anything I can do to help you?"
Debra asked George.
He told her that he was feeling weak and needed help with his cat. Debra assured him that she will take care of it...and that he could call her anytime he wanted.
Debra left with Maisey and drove her car towards George's cabin. They found the cat sleeping peacefully in there. They picked its pet thingys and brought it to their home.
"Hey Mom, the best part of the entire situation is the cat"
Maisey said to her mother who was now busy preparing something to eat... Maisey fed the cat with the cat's food that they brought from George's house. Debra and her daughter ate pasta together while cat had all the attention.
***************
The day felt heavy and Debra felt tired. When she went to sleep after saying goodnight to Maisey, she thought of the day and her worried self. She thought she was giving too much time thinking about a new person whom she just met a few days ago.
She decided to keep a distance from him.
