Chapter 45
Amanda's POV
{{A week later}}
"How long will it take for you to complete the discharge procedure? ", Mr. Reynolds literally screamed out of his lungs clenching his teeth giving a disappointed look to the doctor.
He was now shifted to a better VIP room as per his demand. It truly felt like some 5-star hotel. There was a Huge television accompanied by various CD's. The room had an amazing view from the window which showcased the mountains and nature's serenity since we were in some hilly area.
"Calm down ", I tried to ease him.
"You're not perfectly stable yet, Mr. Reynolds ", the doctor checked over the files by flipping the pages of his health report.
"You don't tell me about my stability Doc plus I've one of the best medical crew who'll look after me once I reach home ", he didn't look much satisfied with the doctor's statement and did I mention he was back to being the old him who loved speaking about his power and wealth.
"Mrs. Reynolds, convince him that it's for his betterment ", The doctor looked at me but little did he know about our relationship.
" 'Mrs' doesn't has the right to command over his Mister ", he exaggerated the word Mrs whilst looking at me with cornered eyes smirking.
I nodded to what he said without making any eye contacts. "Give me the check so that my person could come over to clear, can I make a call? ", he urged for a cell phone.
"here you go ", the doctor handed his phone to Mr. Reynolds who quickly dialed the number on the screen.
"Hey William, I'm stuck in some local hospital", he had the guts to insult the place which saved his life "Come pick me up", he stood silent listening to the person on the other side of the phone "Uh-yeah, the name? ", he interrogated turning towards the doctor.
"Starwings Hospital "
"Some Starwings hospital, google up the location and make sure you carry with you something appropriate for me to wear ", he instructed William.
I looked at him frowning moving my gaze through my clothing - a loose hospital's shirt and matching colored pajamas. "Get a pair of a woman's dress too", he heard the person with a straight face and instinctively replied "You're no one to question me, you're only supposed to nod and say yes", he was back to being cold as he canceled the phone fiercely.
"I'd personally like to tip you Doc, can I have your Bank account? ", he pushed his hands out, the doctor shook it gently.
"Aaron, it's fine. You don't have to do this ", the doctor didn't look much convinced with the words that fall off from his mouth.
"Oh come on Doc, I make sure I pay everyone so that no one owes me anything. ", I knew why he did such stunt all the time, he always wanted himself to be superior of all so that in future no one could claim anything away from him.
"We're going Home Miss Waters, we're leaving tonight ", Mr. Reynolds first made sure that the doctor exited the room.
"Okay", I simply nodded.
I marched towards my room which was very ordinary and simple. I laid on the bed thinking about the drama I've been having lately in my life. The ceiling on the top showcased calmness and gazing over it simply gave me peace.
I laid for almost 2 hours just turning up my position either on the left or on the right, I couldn't sleep. If only I could flush away the thoughts. I decided to take a walk through the hospital so as to feel less of a loner. I brushed my hair gently looking at the mirror and walked out of the room bare-handed.
"Have a good day"
"You too", I greeted the nurse with a pleasant smile.
I climbed upstairs to take a look at the terrace, I refused to take up the elevator since I had ample amount of time to waste.
Walking across the 5th floor I noticed that everyone was above their 50's. They had one thing in common, they were mentally unstable and had two nurses with them on their sides.
"Maybe I should just walk away ", I gave myself a safety check.
"Or maybe I should just look over at their lives and their struggle to make through every day ", I never was able to take a stand on one thing.
I went across the doors looking through the small glasses of the doors, I saw some talking with dolls, while the others painting themselves. Some laughed till no limits while some cried effortlessly. I was shaken by life so much that it resulted in goosebumps.
"Mr. Ashton Reynolds ", I read the tagline over the door. My legs stopped at the reaction of my eyes towards that name. I picked up my courage and strength and opened the door by turning the knob.
A man laid there with his eyes closed, he resembled Mr. Reynolds so much. I went closer to him enlarging my view through my eye lenses. There was no one in his room so it wasn't much difficult for me to pop in.
"hey, what are you doing here? ", A nurse marched it with an injection in her hand.
"Just fast-flying across this place, no specific agenda ", I tried greeting her with a smile.
She smiled back "As per the rules we aren't allowed to let people in without the visiting card. Do you have one? ", she inquired.
"I don't. Oops. But I'm guessing I know this man", I turned towards him "what's wrong with him? ", I kept my focus on Mr. Ashton who looked so peaceful whilst sleeping.
" He's in a state of deep and prolonged unconsciousness, scientifically we call it Coma ", she injected him with the syringe she held.
" So no one ever visits him? Like his family or friends? Someone with whom he's acquainted with? ", I flooded similar questions demanding an answer from at least one.
"He's been shifted here a month ago, we tried contacting his son but he fails to answer us as there's no current contact number of his in our records. We get payments on his behalf from some man of his age, he visits him every second Saturday. That's all I know ", she reluctantly smiled.
