~Mary’s new crush~

Mary didn’t return home immediately. After crying Tony a river, she drove down straight to the hospital, waited patiently for the doctor and nurses to attend to Tony and when they weren’t forth coming out from the emergency ward, she hounded the nurse she could find concerning the fate of Tony. Although the nurses gave her the cold shoulder, she wasn’t going to give up on staying down for Tony. All she did was curl up at a corner, wail a little more, put her face down and waited patiently for the doctor to be out of the emergency ward.

“You must be the mother of the patient in the emergency ward,”

A voice very deep, yet inquisitive said very close to her.

And when she raised her head, she was staring at a light skinned tall, American doctor whose face was roughened with traces of bitterness that made her believe all wasn’t well with Tony, and may never be well with him.

“Yes, I …um… I,” she stuttered and confused about what reply to give. She snorted amidst raised brow, “I am Mary, his aunt.” She shook her head and wondered how long she was going to keep lying and keeping her affair with Tony secret. “Yes, his aunt,” she affirmed with a nod, and inwardly built up enough lies to give the doctor if he needed them.

“Ok , your nephew is literally down. Our records show that he is a victim of wild bodily harm sex. He has blisters on his wrists and ankles which are possibly gotten from metal hand cuff. And police investigation brought to us shows that it isn’t a criminal case other than being chained to the edge of the bed, possibly for days now. That boy is on the verge of death due to starvation and thirst. At this period of starvation his body functioned differently just to reduce the amount of energy it burned. Right now diagnoses shows his kidney function is impaired, immune system is weakened. If we don’t do something fats, we may lose him.”

Mary’s face darkened with fear and she looked away from the doctor and stared into the floor in contemplation of the terror she had caused.

“O…OK doctor,” she trembled very much in her voice and winked in confusion as she was scared to look the doctor in the face and speak up, “What can be done right now? I don’t want …” she stuttered yet further, “I don’t want anything to happen to my sweetheart…” she affirmed and regretted mentioning sweetheart again.

The doctor raised a brow and queried her with his frown, “Your sweetheart?”

She forced out a smile and then a pretentious chuckle to support what she was about saying, “Never mind, doctor, you see, Tony is the only nephew that is so dear to me, that is why I often call him my sweetheart.”

The doctor grinned in approval, “Oh really. I thought as much. Tony is damn down. He is on oxygen right now…”

And she cut in, “Oxygen?” she advanced to him in shock, and held him on the shoulder for further explanation.

“You need to put yourself together, Mrs. Fanny. This happened as a result of gross carelessness from you or the parents. You should have kept an eye on him to know what kind of sexual adventure he practices and the peer group he keeps.”

“Come on Tony is no longer a kid. He left home a long time ago and he is a big boy now. How do we know the kind of sexual practices he enjoys most with his girlfriend?” she asked, staring into the face of the doctor and expecting answers.

“Talking about girlfriend, do you know any?” asked the doctor, putting on the glasses that had hung on his laboratory coat all along, as though the glasses were going to enable his vision to see Mrs. fanny’s mind and know what she was up to.

“Um,” she contemplated, not really, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have them in their numbers,” she smiled, “You know considering a cute dude as Tony. “But that investigatory question would have been nice if it had come from the cops.” She gritted.

And the doctor scowled his face with his brow furrowing, “Well,” he cleared his throat, “Our discussion comes to a wrap. I wonder who will be responsible for the bills. Daily consumption of oxygen is needed to sustain him until it would be ascertained whether he would live or not.”

She shook her head in disapproval, “He will live, doctor. Nothing will happen to my Tony” She breathed hard and the doctor heard her whistling breath.

“You look tensed,” he smacked his lips, “You need to put yourself together.” He gave a flirty look at her cleavage and hour-glass shape that ran in attractive sensual curves around her hips and down to her beefing thighs. “I.. um…” he grinned and wondered how possible it would be to feel a thing for a woman at first sight .”Well, sorry, I didn’t introduce myself earlier. I am Doctor Frank, a Californian” he said and pushed out his hand for a warm shake. “I could be of help “he added the tears that wanted to well up her eyes dried up ones she heard him say the latter. She placed her fragile soft palm to his and he rubbed on it before she withdrew it.

“You know my name already. I am Mary, Tony’s aunt, “she said quietly.

“How about having a rest in my office before retiring home. “He shot a more engaging stare into her eyes which flashed as the green leaves in the sun, once her eyes rolled.

She breathed uneasily, rolled her eyes and fought back her blush “I don’t think so doctor ….”She forgot his name.

And he added swiftly “…Frank.”

“Yeah, Frank,” she affirmed and wanted to speak yet further when he interrupted her.

“I insist you have some rest in my office then you can retire home later,” he said softly and their eyes switched together before she blinked out of it and had a breath of relief.

A new beginning with heartbreak called on…
