"How are you doing today Maria_ do you feel pain anywhere" Kristen greeted which stunned her, she couldn't respond but burst into tear.
"Hey, why are you crying Maria?" Kristen asked not really sure why she's crying. "Did I do something or are you feeling pain? Talk to me Maria" Kristen tried his possible best to coax her but she didn't stop crying.
"I want to be left alone please" she managed to say.
"That'll be after examining you for the record check" Kristen told her not willing to go away when his mission isn't done yet.
"Now if you can stop the tears I'll like to ask you some few questions dear" Kristen told her and she managed to stop crying even though the tears kept falling off.
"So far so good you're doing great and you might be discharged sooner than later_ good job girl, oops my bad sorry ma'am" doc Kristen said winking at her.
"If you may excuse me ma'am I'll go check on other patients but feel free to ask me of anything" Doc Kristen said as he was about stepping out but Maria stopped him.
"Kristen_ erm,um th_thank you" she stuttered not able to look him in the eyes. "Where you the one who saved me?. She asked, as her previous attending physician didn't tell her who.
"No I did not, a good Samaritan did" Doc Kristen said and she remembered also that doctor Lazarus once said same thing.
" Can I see this good Samaritan and at least say thank you"
"That won't be necessary, you'll know him when the time comes_ if you'll excuse me ma'am I got other patients" doctor Kristen told her, Maria nods but feel no one wants to tell her who the good Samaritan was.
She stayed two more days at the hospital before she was discharged in the evening of the third day, she has been trying to speak with Kristen to apologize but he seems really busy attending to an to some accident victims.
Not sure or having any where to go from the hospital she walked out of the private owned hospital. Kristen who has seen her step out called someone informing him of the situation then hung up, still looking at Maria Moore who was standing lost on the street.
Frrrrrrrr!
The breaks of a car was suddenly heard causing the man seated at the back seat to open his eyes looking everywhere then at his chauffeur.
"What the hell was that!" he bellowed but the chauffeur looking scared rushed out of the car which puzzled the young master.
"Ms are you okay?" asked the chauffeur even though he knew she was.
"Yes yes yes am good, sorry I troubled you" Maria Moore said but she caught someones attention
" What's happening here?" Asked the person from behind, the chauffeur kindly helped Maria Moore up before facing his boss.
" She was the reason for the automatic break sir, I didn't notice her on time_ it won't repeat itself sir" the chauffeur apologize with his head slightly bowed.
"You can get back inside" the young master told him which he did, but immediately brought out his phone sending a short message.
"Are you okay Ms" the young master asked walking closer to Maria.
"Yes I am, I was just lost in thoughts. I'll be heading back now" she said taking few steps backwards.
"I can drop you off, If you want" he said to her but Maria wasn't ready to get involved with any man.
"It's okay am good" she told him but little did she know that this fellow doesn't take No for an answer.
" I insist" he said holding her wrist not too firm guarding her into the car which she didn't want to get in
"In few seconds it's gonna rain and you'll regret you didn't come along" he told her because he knew already that it's gonna rain and looking at the clouds right now it's not friendly, so Maria got in but gave a reasonable distance.
' FINALLY' the young master thought to himself. As the chauffeur got on the road it began to rain.
"What's your address Ms" the young master asked even though he knew and wished she doesn't want to go there. "I don't have any_ just pull over by any bus station" Maria Moore said but the young master looked at his chauffeur " James mansion" he instructed his chauffeur who made a turn at the next junction.
Maria Moore who head what he said looked up at the young man seated beside her for the first time since she got in his car wondering if he's the young master Edward from the James family and his sister Vanessa James.
" We're here Ms" the young master said bringing her out of her thoughts, it was then she noticed that the door was opened. The young master held unto an umbrella signaled for his chauffeur to hold it. Main while Maria Moore who was reluctant of getting out was suddenly scooped up from the car seat, out of instincts her hands flew to his neck for support.
The front door opened immediately and greetings were heard
"Young master
Welcome madam
Welcome young master, ma'am
The young master Edward reluctantly placed her on her feet then gave silent nods to the greetings.
"Welcome Edward" the butler greeted him with smiles then to Maria Moore
"Welcome madam it's_" the butler was saying " No no no it's a mistake am not_" Maria Moore was saying but the young master interrupted her.
"Make sure she's comfortable" with that said he went upstairs but Maria went after him and he knew why. He turned suddenly which almost made her to stumble but he grabbed her from the waist preventing her from falling.
" You don't have an address and it's raining heavily and I believe you just got out of the hospital because of the signpost_ you can stay the night then we'll figure out something about your address" he said in one breath still holding her close.
