Under His Control
240 Words
By the time they got back into the car, Arielle checked her phone and realized she had missed Doctor Miles' call.
She tried calling back, and he picked up almost immediately.
"Thank goodness. Arielle, it has been two weeks. "We have been trying to reach you," Doctor Miles said.
"Please, is my grandma okay?" Arielle asked, her face etched with concern.
"We need to take care of her surgery. All you need to do is pay the bills and the final operation will commence."
Arielle's mind was running with several thoughts as the doctor spoke.
"Alright, I will try and raise the money", Arielle assured, and the doctor hung up afterward.
"Your grandma?" Logan asked after she hung up the phone.
The doctor says she is going to need another surgery. I will have to pay first before they can commence the surgery."
"You are not paying for anything. Text the doctor and give him my number to call me. "Your grandma will be flown out of the country for the surgery", Logan assured.
Arielle paused and observed him for a moment. He did not look like he was joking.
"Thank you very much....I guess" she said.
"I am not the monster that you took me for. I just don't like being disrespected", Logan revealed. He turned to Arielle's direction.
"Oh, and don't think I am doing you a favor. This is just me honoring the contract that you signed."
