Chapter 81: going home
Donald was up early in the morning and quietly left the ward.
I was up in the morning and my eyes scanned the room for Donald. I was really thirsty and I needed to drink some water to quench my thirst. The jug was on the other cabinet which was close to the couch. I decided to go get it myself as I was unsure of where Donald has gone to.
I tried getting out of the bed when I felt a bit dizzy and I quickly laid back on the bed, breathing heavily.
The door opened and Donald walked in. He noticed the way I was breathing and quickly dropped the bags on the couch and rushed over to me.
"Are you okay Monalisa? What's wrong?
"I think I've got a slight headache. Not slit, a bit severe. I tried getting out of bed when I felt dizzy and fell back on the bed. Now my head hurts the more"
"You need not get out of the bed. Why were you trying to get out of the bed?
"I couldn't find you in here and I was pretty thirsty. I needed to grab some water and quench my thirst"
"You need not stress yourself. I apologize for leaving you without informing you that I was leaving. I'll get you some water to drink, you sit still. Do not move, okay?
"Yes, thank you"
Donald poured some water into the glass cup and returned to me
He pressed the button on the bed and the bed was up on the sitting position.
He placed the glass cup on the cabinet and helped me sit properly and placed some pillows at my back.
Donald reached out to the cabinet and grabbed the glass cup and helped me take the water.
"Thank you Donald. I thought I would die of thirst. I need to brush my teeth and wash my face. I must look horrible right?
Donald chuckled. "Of course not. You look great with your cute morning hair"
"You're teasing me right?
"Maybe? Yeah" he smiled and returned back to the couch.
"Where did you disappear to so early in the morning?
"Oh! I went to get some important things"
"Some important things? Like what?
"Okay. Your change of clothe, a brush, a tooth paste, uhmm...your innerwear and..."
"Hold on. Innerwear? Do you know my size and how do you know my size?
"Uh...well, let's just say, I took a wide guess hoping it's actually your size. If it is your size let me know so I can take note for future purposes "
"Future what? You are crazy you know " I giggled. "Enough with the teasing. Thank you Donald. You're such a... darling "
"I know and I also know that you can't live without me. Okay. I'll help you to the bathroom."
"Okay sure"
Donald returned to me and adjusted the bed. He reached out to my body and lifted me with his arms. I wrapped my hands around his neck and I was sitting pretty in his arms.
Donald made his way to the bathroom and let me down at the door.
"You'll be okay in there, right? Donald asked.
"Why? Wanna help me take my bath?
"Sure I can..."
"Such innocence" I shut the door at his face.
"What? What was she thinking? Perhaps, she thinks I'm a pervert? No. I was just offering to help out. Silly Donald "
I returned back to my bed after my bath. I really loved the innerwear. They were so comfortable and the gown he got was really pretty.
The doctor walked in with the nurse as he was on a ward round.
After a check up he informed us that I was good to go as I had no internal injuries and sustained minor injuries on my body.
I was happy to hear that. I was going home.
Donald thanked the doctor and began to set our food.
He helped me to the couch and we ate to our fill.
He requested me to rest up while he pack up our things to leave.
I fell asleep on the couch while Donald packed up.
Donald was done packing and I was still asleep. He decided not to wake me and had his seat.
After an hour, I woke up and found Donald dozing off.
Donald immediately opened his eyes and turned to me, I was fully awake.
"We should go Donald"
"Oh yes. Let's go. I'll get the bags"
Donald grabbed the bags from the bed and I got up to leave with him.
Just a few steps to the door, I felt dizzy and fell back. Donald dropped the bags and caught me from falling.
He carried me back to the bed and laid me on the bed.
Donald rushed out of the ward to call in the doctor. Donald returned back to the ward with the doctor and a nurse.
The doctor took a sample of my blood to conduct a test. He requested us to wait back for the test result to be out.
Donald and I were pretty nervous.
A few hours later, the doctor returned with the test result and informed me that I was okay and need not worry but get enough rest.
We thanked the doctor and left the hospital with the test result.
I was happy to go home...home? I'm going back to my apartment. My home is Jayden's house and I miss being there, with Jayden. All the fun.
I knew if Jayden was the one with me instead of Donald, my ward would be guarded because it will definitely be filled with a lot of goodies. He sure would have pampered me to a fault.
I sighed heavily and wiped off the tear in my eyes.
"Are you okay Monalisa? Donald asked, worried about me.
"Yes I'm good. Just exhausted and hungry. That's all"
"You sure do eat a lot for the Monalisa I know"
"Yeah. I'm quite surprised that I get hungry often. Maybe I'm stress eating, that's why"
"Stress eating? Oh Monalisa, you've got a lot of things to tell me"
"I think so. Just concentrate on the road and drive" I said, touching his hand.
"Uhmm... Monalisa, I've been meaning to ask you something".
"What is it?
"The ring on your finger, what is it for?
"Oh, this ring? A promise ring"
"Promise ring? People still do that stuff? I thought it was old fashioned and outdated?
"What? Oh! Not that kind of promise ring. Actually..."
"So a guy had given you this ring right? Are you in a relationship? He's your boyfriend?
"Nope. I do not have a boyfriend"
"Wow! Then you must be single"
I chuckled and leaned back. "Just drive Donald, drive"
A few moments later, we arrived at my apartment with Tricia.
Donald got my things from the car while I headed towards the door.
I rang the doorbell and leaned against the wall.
Donald rushed over to me in fear.
"Do you feel dizzy?
"I'm good"
The door opened and Tricia stepped out and let out a scream.
"You bitch! She hit my arm
"Stop! Donald grasped her hand. "Don't hit my Monalisa again, or else..."
"Else what?
"You'll be without hands"
"Oh please. I'll come back to you later. Monalisa, where have you been! You left me so worried and I couldn't stop looking for you. And why is head bandaged? Are you okay? What happened to you bess? Oh my goodness, my Bess looks horrible"
"I'm sorry for making you worry so much about me"
"She got into an accident. Actually... I had hit her with my car. I didn't see her coming. I was scared as I thought I killed someone but trust me that fear tripled when I saw Monalisa lying on the floor "
"Oh my gush. Mona, you must have been in a lot of pains "
"Can we going in. We can't risk her health. She needs to sit down"
"Oh yes. Please come in"
Donald grabbed my bags while Tricia helped me inside. I had my seat and leaned back. Tricia sat close to me and held my hand.
"Where do I drop these bags?
"The room on the right" Tricia replied.
"Thank you"
"You must be in pains. You could called me. Oh! Foolish me. You must be unconscious. Thank goodness you are okay "
"Yes, thank goodness she is. I wonder what she was thinking, walking in the middle of the road"
"In the middle of the road!! Why? Do you have a death wish Mona?
"No. I was so sad and confused and I kept wandering why is this happening to me? Why me? Why is the entire world ganging up against me?
"What happened Bess?
"I lost my job"
"What!! Why?
"Apparently, Jayden called the principal and ordered her to fire me, because I'm a bad influence to the school and he wouldn't want me spoiling his innocent niece." I sighed.
"What? Jayden did that to you? What else does he want from you? Your life? Ugh! I should have used that wrench hammer on him. I so hate him for this. I think Godfrey is better than that Jayden guy"
"Godfrey? Monalisa is it the same Godfrey that I know?
"Uh... Monalisa....who is he? And how does he know Godfrey? Hold on...your Godfrey and our Godfrey are the same? Why did he call you my Monalisa?
"Chill guys. Tricia, he's Donald, my best friend and my childhood friend. He is actually the guy who crashed my wedding with Godfrey and saved me. And yes Donald, it's the same Godfrey "
"What!!! The same Godfrey? I can't believe he got to you before I did"
"What do you mean by that statement? Tricia asked staring at him.
Donald was speechless. He took a step back and fell on the couch.
Tricia watched him closely and repeated the question.
"What do you mean by he got to her before you got to her? What the hell is going on, Mr Donald?
