The Billionaire's Nurse

Episode 06

Lucas's POV:

"Sir... Here is your cup of coffee" the new nurse dropped the saucer with the piping hot coffee on it. I glared hard at her in so much annoyance.

"Take this stupid coffee away from me" I banged my fist on the table as the startled nurse quickly carried the saucer.

"But sir you should at least...." She tried speaking.

"I said get lost" I yelled at her as she rushed off. Hot tears rolled down my face as I mopped it with a napkin. Let's just say she's the fourth nurse in two weeks. I have fired three other ones.

I know you think I'm being stupid or maybe foolish, but the truth is.... Have you ever been in my shoes?

It's two weeks since Bernadette left me. I feel so useless to be on this wheelchair for a month now.

Bernadette left me because she considers me a liability but isn't that true? Am I not a liability? Someone who depends on others in everything they do.

**************

She passed the dinner on the dinning and walked into the sitting room.

"Sir Lucas your dinner is ready" She said with a calm tone.

"Ok you can go" I tried to sound polite.

"Should I help you get to the dinning?" She offered to help as I gave her a disdainful stare.

"Why? You think am so useless that I can't get myself to the dinning, huh?" I raised my voice at her. She shook her head in disagreement.

"Of course not Sir.... That's not what I really meant" She replied sharply.

"I don't care what it is you meant so just get out" I sighed as she walked away sluggishly. I wheeled myself straight to the dinning. She already arranged the food on the dinning so all I had to do was to dish out the food.

I dished the food out and ate a spoon of it. I quickly spit it out in annoyance. Everything she does always irritate me and maybe that's because I blame everyone for what happened to me.

"Marina! Marina!!!" I screamed as she rushed from the kitchen to the dinning.

"Yes Sir..." She answered panting heavily.

I picked up the plate of hot soup and threw it in her face as she jumped in pain.

"You wretch! How dare you cook such a salty good for me?" I bitterly lamented.

"But Sir it...." she spoke up, but I cut her off.

"Shut up...." I yelled at her.

"This is so unfair, and you're being wicked to me.... You know what sir? I quit! I've had it up to here, and I can't take this anymore" She screamed as she rushed upstairs. Furthermore, I gulped hard. My mouth was too heavy to say a word. I promised my mom that I wasn't going to fire any nurse again. I bowed my head in tears, and I wished I had just died that day of this horrible accident. Life is so bitter for me so there is no use wanting to live.

I heard some footsteps at the staircase and turned around. I saw the nurse with her bags packed. She stopped and glared hard at me before rushing off in the dark. I ran my fingers through my curly hair with a sharp exhale.

"You what? I can't believe you son" Mom stamped her foot angrily.

"I didn't fire her mom... She left willingly" I replied.

"What do you mean she left on her own accord?" Mom furiously yelled.

"Yes Mom.... She decided to leave without being fired so what do you have me do?" I sharply said.

"You must have done something bad to her that made her leave the house" mom said.

"I don't care Mom... All I know is that she does not want to be here" I rolled my eyes.

"Why are you making this whole thing difficult for me Lucas? Why do you keep making all the nurses I employed to take care of you go away?" Mom cried.

"You want to know why mom?" I flared up as tears streamed down my face.

"Yes Lucas.... Why?" Mom fired back.

"That's because I'm a grown-up.... I don't need any of them to take care of me.... Mom I want to walk again" I burst into tears as mom rushed to me and hugged me tightly.

"I understand you my son and I know in my heart that you will surely walk again" mom assured me as she pecked my cheek.

"I hope mom.... I hope so" I cried.

"And you don't have to worry I will work on getting you a new nurse, but then your younger sister will be here for the meantime" She said as I nodded.

*********

"You don't know how I feel man" I told my friend.

"Dude that shouldn't be the case.... You will soon undergo therapy, and hopefully you will stand on your feet again" He assured me.

"I feel totally useless" I inhaled deeply.

"Get that God damn feeling away for now and get well first! I just hope your mom gets a nurse since everyone knows how grumpy you have been to the past nurses" He said as I turned my face away.

Sharon's POV:

I was busy arranging the syringe into a tray for the doctor when Salome rushed in. She was holding a newspaper and panting heavily.

"Hey... What's up?" I asked still focused with what I was doing.

"The opportunity you've been looking for is here Sharon" Salome said as I quickly paused.

"What?" I asked.

"Be a nurse for the billionaire Lucas Grande for $5000 monthly" She read as I gasped.

"Really??" I popped my eyes in shock.

"Yes girlfriend" She repeated as I quickly snatched the newspaper from her.......
