Where am I?
After a long time of rest , Greg finally moved an inch.
" Mom , mom , come see , brother opened his eyes . "
" Are you sure?. I am not ready for those your silly pranks. This is a matter of life and death. Did he really move? "
" Yes mom , he did . "
" Well , what are you waiting for? Go and call the doctor . "
" Right away mom . "
After several tests the doctor conducted on Greg's body, he finally left the ward with a smile on his face. Greg's mother came running to him.
" Kind sir , is my son going to be alright? Please answer me positively . "
" Madam please come down. My apologies your son couldn't make it. We exhausted our resources and tried many ways to try and make him survive but to no avail. My apologies madam . "
" That can't be true , I saw my brother move , he moved. I swear with my life , he really moved . "
" I'm sorry young mistress but he couldn't survive. Please take heart . "
Grieved and sad , the mother and daughter pair walked to the ward to say their final goodbyes to their beloved .
To their surprise, Greg was sitting on the bed , looking around his surroundings shocked and confused .
The mother ran out thinking that she was imagining things . She ran to the doctor's office and explained everything to him .
Back at the ward..
" My brother, oh my dear brother, I knew you were not dead but nobody believed me . "
" Stop with the tears will you , I'm not dead yet . I am just sitting on the sick bed . "
" You still have the energy to make jokes at a time like this. Please be serious for once my brother . "
" Well don't worry about me , I am fine . "
" Now would you care to explain why I ended up in the hospital? "
" It's a long story brother . "
" But I have enough time in the world at the moment, so please go ahead . "
" I was at home preparing to go to school , when my best friend, Emily , called and she told me that you were ambushed . I was scared and I immediately ran to mom's room . Mom instantly called the police and you were later taken to the hospital . When we got here , the doctor said that you might not be able to survive because you lost a lot of blood after being shot . Mom grieved and sobbed thinking that she was going to loose you . I tried comforting her , but I realised I needed the comfort too . Mom finally slept and 2 hours later she woke up , the doctor was infront of us . He informed us that we only had to wait for you to wake up from coma . Sitting in the ward room , I realised that you moved an inch . I woke mom up and told her that you were awake and ran to the doctor's office to inform him too . After several tests , he told us that you were dead , but to our horror you were sitting in the bed lile someone who was never shot . I was scared when I saw you sitting on the bed , I mean how does the dead come to life ? That is why mom ran away . "
" I see , interesting ... "
" How is that interesting brother , tell me . "
" You may go back home and rest now , you have tried enough for me and I appreciate it . "
" Are you chasing me out? "
" I only want to rest . "
" Okay brother , goodbye . "
Greg's mom comes back to the ward with the doctor . Greg wakes up after feeling light footsteps coming to his room . Ever since those people tried to kill him , he vowed to never trust anyone but only his mother and his sister . The doctor almost fell when he saw Greg . Filled with anger in his heart he thinks to himself . " Didn't I kill him , I did , I'm sure of it . Nobody conducted the surgery but myself , so why is he alive? ".
" Stop thinking too much doctor , it might cost you your career licence you know? "
" What are you talking about ? "
" We both know what I am talking about . Don't play dumb with me . "
" I do not know what you are talking about but congratulations for coming back to the world of the living . "
" Thank you doctor . "
" You are welcome . "
" Kind sir before you leave , can I make a request? "
" Which is ? ".
" I want to be discharged as soon as possible . "
" Your body is not strong enough, you need to rest ."
" My body is just fine , believe me ."
" Will you stop being a child and listen to the doctor . He knows best for you . And he tried everything in his power to make you survive . Now i see that you have the courage to question the doctor's care fir his patients . "
" I'm sorry mom . It's just that i don't feel comfortable in thie hospital anymore . I fear that my enemies will come back for me . "
" There's is no need to worry . There are bodyguards to protect you . They are standing outside . "
" And who appointed them there , I know that you don't have the money to pay bodyguards, so who appointed them there . "
" A kind lady , that is what the bodyguards are saying . They refuse to say more . "
" I see then , very well . "
" I would excuse the both of you . Please take care and ring the bell next to the bed when you need anything or when there is a emergency . "
" Noted . "
