Episode 8

The excitement had already cleared away the little effect alcohol had on him. “I see she fainted, but she will be okay. What really

happened Michael?” Dr. Chris asked without formerly greeting him. “I was driving along Stream Street when I saw her walking

sluggishly, and before I could say „Jack Robinson,‟ she slumped to the ground. So I quickly  rushed her here,” quickly said the

young man. “Oh, you don‟t even know her?”“No, Chris.“ Well, she is not in any serious condition, but it is important we contact any of her family members , they deserve to be alerted. Just hang around for now let me go inside and make  sure she is alright.” Dr. Chris pointed to the nearest empty long seat meant for visitors as  he spoke. Fifteen minutes later, the doctor came  out. “We have revived her,” he said as he  led Michael into his office. “Her name is Brenda  Davis. Emotional breakdown is always

sad news. Obviously, heartbreak, I guess. She asked that her friend be contacted. This is her cell  phone number.” He handed Michael a piece of paper as he sat down on his rather large seat. “She also asked to see the Good Samaritan who brought her here.” “That's alright. I will make the call and then we can go  in and see her.” Michael reached for his cell  phone and quickly dialed the number on the piece of paper. After informing Jane of Brenda's condition, and giving her the hospital's  address, he said, “Let‟s go and see the  patient.

Taken over by impatience and concern, Michael had not been able to take a closer look  at the girl he had rescued. As he entered

the hospital room and saw her sitting on the bed, he knew instantly that he had found the girl  of his dreams. Physically, she was everything  that he had dreamed of, the smile,the posture, the gentleness that seemed to be her  real nature. She looked very vulnerable and  there was a sudden urge within him to protect her. She was beautiful, and more importantly  likeable. He became more concerned  to know what happened to her. What went so wrong that she even lost consciousness ? Maybe he could help her.

“This is Mr. Black. He is the good man that brought  you here when you fainted at Stream Street,” introduced Dr. Chris. “Hello,” Michael quickly  greeted. “I can see that you are much stronger  and brighter.”l am really fine now, oh, I am sorry for the inconvenience  that I have caused you this evening. Thank you very much for the help. You don't know how grateful I am,” Brenda

said. “I am actually glad that I was there to help  you. I didn‟t know what really happened ; I just got dizzy and couldn’t control myself any longer.  It is alright. I thank  God that you are fine now. I have called your  friend. She should be here anytime from

now.” “Oh, thank you, Mr. Black. I can‟t thank you  enough.” She was trying so hard not to

show her sadness. She couldn‟t still believe that  Adam had really left her. What was she going  to do with her life once she left the hospital ? “Please call me Michael.” Before she could  reply, Jane stormed into the room and went straight to hugging her. Brenda held unto  her like she was the only precious thing on  earth. Michael was quick to notice the steady  stream of tears running down her cheeks.

This girl is depressed, he thought. I wonder why  someone would hurt her; she doesn't look like  she can hurt anyone. “What happened?”Jane asked her. Seeing that Brenda wasn't ready  to talk about her problems in front of a stranger , Michael quickly cut in, “I‟d better be leaving . Can I have your contact? I will like to be  sure that you are alright.” “Oh yes, emm…

Jane, this is Mr.…this is Michael, he brought me  to the hospital and also notified you,”Brenda said. “Thank you, sir, I am really

grateful.” “It‟s okay.” He collected the piece of paper  Brenda handed him. “And you don't have to worry about the medical bills; I have already  taken care of that.” Both girls were touched  by his kindness. And Brenda said, “You shouldn‟t have bothered, you have already  done so much for me.”

 “No problem at all.” He was already walking towards  the door. “This is my complimentary card .the little
