Chapter 18: Chapter 18

Kimberly Brown’s POV

My hear froze when I saw who it was that had knocked my son down, it was a man from my past, the very past that ruined my life and took the life of my mum, the man I so much despise.

“You?” I asked, still in shock, unconsciously pointing to the man, I guess the others may be shocked as well, but by my reaction.

“What is it Kim? Do you know the man?” Vicky asked coming to stop me, that's when I realized that I am walking towards him too unconsciously.

“Yes I know him, don't you remember him?” I asked, turning to Vicky and then back to the man, he just stared at me, looking speechless I guess.

“What's going on here Kim, how do you know this man?” Jimmy asked me too, turning to look at him.

“Is he...?” Vicky asked me, looking from him to me her lips slightly apart, I guess she now recognized the man, I loosed myself from Vicky’s hold and went at the man again, he just stood up from his chair looking at me, he must be really shocked, and I bet he remembers me.

I wanted to hold him by the collar and ask him why of all the kids in this city it has to be my son...but this time I was stopped by Jimmy, who also rushed to stop me.

“Calm down Mrs... please calm down...” The doctor said walking out from his chair to try and stop me too when he saw how furious I am as Jimmy stopped me...

“Do you know Mr Kyle?” The doctor asked looking from me to the man, standing in between me and him.

“Yes, I know him whatever his name is...” I snapped furiously at the doctor.

“Please calm down...,Mrs?” the doctor said and asked, I think he has forgotten my name and is trying to recall it.

“Kimberly... it's Kimberly doctor, why in the world would this man run my son over with his car? What was he thinking?” I snapped at the doctor again, venting my anger and frustration on him and I wish that would bring my son out of the ICU where I was told he is lying right now.

I have not gone to see my son yet and I am feeling so afraid to go and see him at the moment because I do not know the state I would find him, also I don't know if I can take it, and on top of that, the man responsible for his condition is the same who has ruined me in the past.

“Calm down Mrs Kimberly, let’s talk about this peacefully, what happened to your son was an accident and it could have been anyone else, come on, talk to your wife Mr Brown...” the doctor said again looking from me to Jimmy who is still holding Sandra in his arms.

I heard the doctor refer to me as Jimmy’s wife, I wanted to shout to him that I am no body's wife but that's not the issue right now as I am more concerned about my sons state of health, than the doctor's statement.

I looked from the doctor to the man, feeling a kind of rage sweep through me, as I began to remember what he had done to me that night in the Hotel room, followed by the hardship I have experienced as a result of his action that night.

“Please control yourself Kim, don’t let your anger get the better of you...” Jimmy whispered into my ears standing next to me, drawing me out from my thought.

I can see that he still has Sandra in his arm, who must definitely be wondering what is going on between her mum and this man, the man she has told me knocked her brother down, I mean if not for Sandra, I may not have noticed him yet, and probably would not have know him.

Who would have thought that they would be meeting their dad like this, I never wanted them to meet their dad anyways.

I could see that Vicky is looking angry herself and I wonder what might be going on in her mind right now, as she is standing by my side looking at the man who knocked my son Alex down.

“Please have a seat...” the doctor said pointing to the sofa in his office, gesturing for us to sit down.

“Please sit down let’s all talk about it, it's no use fighting like this Mrs, what's done is done, we only need to find a way out.” The doctor said, and I know that he is referring to me, because I was not ready to move at the moment, I just felt like giving the man a slap on the face, not just for knocking my son down but for rapping me years ago.

“Kim?” I heard Jimmy call my name, pulling me by the hand, I looked up at him, and then followed behind him and Vicky to sit on the sofa.

The doctor and Mr Kyle as he is called, came to sit with us as well away from the doctor's table.

“Mr and Mrs Brown am very sorry about your son's accident, Mr Kyle here is a well known person to me and I know that he is a good man...” the doctor is saying to us, and I lost my cool at the mention of Mr Kyle being a good man.

“Was he drunk? He must have been drunk to run into my son, that road used to be busy, so only a drunk man would drive in a speed like that without paying attention.” I snapped unable to bear the doctor's sermon, as I remembered he was also drunk the night he rapped me, my chest swelling with anger.

“He wasn't drunk Mrs Brown...” the doctor said in his defense.

“Let him speak for himself doctor, you weren't in the car with him.” I snapped again at the doctor for defending him, ignoring Jimmy and Vicky’s plea for me to calm down and let the doctor speak.

“I wasn't drunk Mrs Brown, what happened was an accident, I didn't mean to run into your son, am so sorry...” Mr Kyle said to me looking all charming and sweet and this angered me the more.

“You're sorry, you're sorry, you think saying sorry is enough for what you did to me, to my son?” I asked almost tearfully, looking at him, he looked so cool, handsome and fresh and this made me even angrier.

That he is looking this good while on the other hand, I am looking so unkempt, struggling alone to take care of my kids, the kids he made me have when I am not prepared because of his selfish gain.

“I didn't mean for this to happen Mrs Brown, Mr Brown, and please believe me I was not drunk, doctor Sam here is one of the best doctors in this city and I promise I pay him whatever it takes to make your son better...” My Kyle said referring to me and Jimmy.

“You're sure going to pay for all you’ve done to me Mr Kyle...” I said looking furiously at him, and when I said he is going to pay, I mean for all he has put me through up until this time, not just for Alex accident.

“You just pray that my son gets better...” I said again to him, still looking furiously at him.

“You see Mr Kyle, I’ve heard what you have said, and the most important thing for me now is for Alex to get better soon.” Jimmy told him.

“You better pray my son gets better...” I said, pointing to him furiously, before standing up, I need to leave this place and go see my son, and besides I don't want to keep looking at his sorry face.

“Come on Jimmy, Vicky, I need to go see my son...” I told Jimmy and Vicky who stood up at once, and followed me out of the doctor's office, Vicky too looked angry and I bet she was only controlling herself that's why she said nothing.
