I looked back at Mr Gold. He was looking at me but as I looked towards him, he quickly turned to another side.
“Get her to eat the food and medicine. ” He said before he left the room.
The nurse looked at his direction and nodded.
As he closed the door the nurse came toward me and help me to get to the bed.
“He really cares for you. ” the nurse said after make me sat on the bed.
“Everyone wants him. He is dream boy for every gorl out there, you are very lucky ” she added.
“No ” i tried to explain her ” I’m not… I mean it’s not like what you think. ”
” Then it will be soon “she saod smiling.
I looked at her and kept looking at her. I was thinking what she had said.
She served me a bowl of porridge. “Have this fast and I’ll give you your medicine. ”
“Uhh… Ok” I took the bowl from her and ate by myself.
“I need my phone. Do you know where is it ? I need to call my friend. ” I don’t know if she knew this or not.
She hesitated for a moment then she said “Uhh… When he take you here you didn’t have any phone with you. ”
“You mean liam..?? ” I asked as I thought he was the one who took me here.
“Liam? No?? You were taken here by Mr Gold himself ? ” she said ” He was injured too ”
“what?? “I got shocked. Mr Gold took me here but how…? He said Liam was the one to pick me up when I was unconscious. And why did he get hurt? Wait… Did the wolf attacked him. I got scared at that thought. I quickly want to go to Mr Gold and ask this question .
I looked up at the nurse and she too was looking at me.
“Uhh can I borrow your phone? I need to let my friend know that I am ok ” i requested the nurse.
“I’ll go get the phone you take this medicine first. ” She said giving me my medicine.
I took the medicine from her hand and put it on the mouth , then i gulped it down with the help of water.
Then i looked at her with pleading eye. She just smiled at me and said ” ok ok I’ll go get it. ” She then went out of the room.
After a few minutes she came back with a bag… And that was my bag. How did she get my bag? I left that at that jungle and just a while ago she said there were no bag with me when I was hospitalized.
She gave me my bag. I checked my bag. There was everything I took with me yesterday. My phone, the jewelry, water bottle and everything.
“How did you get my bag ?? ” I looked at her confused.
“Mr Gold gave it to me. I was about to go get my phone , but he was outside with your bag ” she said taking the tray of medicine.
“Press the bell if you need anything. ” She said looking at me and I nodded at her.
I take out my phone from the bag and opened it. Surprisingly the battry was charged and it lit up. As I opened the phone there were 23 missed calls from Cami 7 from Rick and 15 from Anyee. There were a few unread messages too. I ignored the messages and quickly dialed Cami’s number.
“The number you dialed is currently out of reach. ” my call didn’t connect with her.
I tried again.
“The number you dialed is currently out of reach.”
I tried again and again but it was of no use.
Then I called Anyee.
“Hello ” she picked up her phone at once “where are you Riley ? What the heck are you doing? Do you know how much worried are we? You got lost after you go to that village, Do you know how worried were we?? You didn’t came back nor you contacted any of us? ” she brusted out.
“I’m fine Anyee. Do you know where Cami is? Her phone is not being connected.” I asked her.
“She had been to that village to look for you. ”
“what? When? ” i asked in disbelief.
“This morning. After that her phone is not connecting. ” Anyee said.
“There is no network over there. Why did she went there alone, it is dangerous… ” I said remembering the red wolves. I started shaking in fear as I think of that.
” Dangerous ?? What are you talking about? Tell me where are you now? ” she said.
“In hospital ”
“what.? What happened? What are you doing there? Did something wrong happened? ” She asked a lot of questions at once .
” I’ll tell you later. I am ok now. ” i said to her.
“Which hospital are you in. I’ll visit you after the office ” she said.
“I actually don’t have idea. I’ll text you later. “i said to her.
“Text me before the office hour ends ” she demanded.
“ok ma’am ”
Then I cut the phone . Then another call came in. It was Rick.
“Hi Rick” I answered the phone.
“Thank goodness, you picked up my phone. Where are you? Do you know how worried were we?” he was also unsatisfied that i didn’t call him or anyone else.
“I’m sorry Rick. But I an fine now. i…
“Crack… ” the door opened again and Mr Gold came in.
“Did I disturb your call ? ” he asked me.
“no, no sir” i shook my head.
“is that Mr Gold’s voice ? What is he doing there? Where are you? ” Rick instantly recognized Mr Gold’s voice.
“I’ll call you later. Ask Cami to call me if she contacted you later ” i said and cut off the phone connection.
I turned to look at Mr Gold. I don’t know if he is angry because his face was a bit red.
” Did you take your medicine? ” he asked.
And i nodded in response.
“Take some rest ” he said turning around. He was going out again.
“Where did you find my bag? ” I asked before he can move out.
He stood frozen there for a while then he coldly said “Liam got it”
” How did he know where I was? ” I asked again . Because as far as I know that wolf had taken me somewhere else. I remember I wasn’t on the road before I passed out.
” How would I know that? ” he asked me. ” And I don’t care”
His answer killed something inside me.
” If you don’t care, why did you took me to the hospital? The nurse said you were the one to took me ” I asked him.
He didn’t talk for a while.
” Someone can’t die working for my company. ” He said coldly.
I feel a sharp pain in my chest listening to him. I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. I don’t even want to see him now . I want to go home and i want to be alone.
“When can i discharge from here? ” I asked making my voice as cold as I can. I didn’t want to show that I was getting affected.
” You can live here as much as you want. Company will pay. ” he answered.
I got hurt again. Is he insulting me because I’m poor ? I know I’m poor but I have my own dignity.
“There is no need for that Mr Gold. I’m sorry I can’t get the money before office hour. ” I said ” But since now i failed and lost my job. I’m not your employee anymore and you don’t have to do that. ”
I wake up from the bed and took that jewellery with me. I went forward and take his one hand in my hand. I felt a spark on the touch but I ignore it. I put the jewellery box in his hand and let go his hand.
“As for paying for the bills of the hospital, I’ll pay as I got money. ”
I went back sat on the bench and sleep…. Pretend to sleep.
After a while he left the room without saying anything.
I got up and sat on the bed as soon as he got out. I pressed the bell . After few minutes the same nurse from before came in panting.
“Do you need anything? ” she asjed smiling sweetly at me.
“Where are the clothes i wore when i got here? ” i asked.
“oh that’s here” she took out my clothes from a drawer ” I’ve already cleaned it. Why do you want it? ” she asked looking at me
I took the dress from her.
“Can you help me with the discharge process? ” i asked her
” You want to go? Why? I mean you need rest now. ” she said looking nervous.
” I can’t afford to stay here more .” i said smiling ” Can you tell me how much does it cost for my medical fee? ” i asked her.
“I don’t know. This is Mr Gold’s hospital and this is his special ward . And no one is treated here before except for him and we don’t charge him. ” she said.
What? His special ward? No wonder this room is not like the common rooms as hospital. And it has king size bed plus those sofas and that bathroom.
“please check the medical fee and the service fee for me. I’ll need to pay it to Mr Gold later” I requested her.
“You’re going to pay him? ” She looked shocked.
” Yeah, please check that for me ” I said.
She shook her head and went out of the room.
I changed the hospital gown with my dress. I take my bag and went out of the room. Outside was corrider i followed it and I reach an elevator at the end.
I got inside the elevator and pressed 1 . Soon i was at 1st floor. As the elevator door opened the nurse was there. She smiled as she saw me.
” I was coming to you. I’ve done the discharge procedure. ” she gave me a paper.
I looked at it. I checked for the medical fee. When i saw the amount, i was so so shocked. I was here for just 1 day and the payment to be made was 300, 000 dollors.
