EPISODE 80; EXCERPT (T)
“Can you tell me what you have in mind now?” I asked Chris after I was done eating the little I could and as well done taking my drugs. Victoria and Aria have also left for home leaving the two of us to ourselves. Which to me is very nice cause I wouldn’t want to discuss whatever Chris is about to share with me with them.
“Doctor Smith said you can’t walk on your legs for now but I don’t remember him saying that you can’t use a walking aid machine. So why not we buy a walking aid machine you can use to go about all the things you wanna do till when your legs will be finally healed then you will take it off.”
My thoughts wandered through everything that Chris just said and I couldn’t help but smile and admire his gob of smartness.
It’s so obvious where Aria got her smartness from now.
“From the smile on your face, I can tell that you loved my suggestion. I’m so happy you did.”
“Yes, I did. But I feel there’s one problem we could have.”
His brows rose and he curved them at me. “What problem Master?”
“To get that we will need a Doctor that will carry out some checkups on me so that he will know the exact one that will fit in on me. It is also only a Doctor that can purchase it.”
“If that’s the problem then we don’t have any problem at all Master. Doctor Smith will take care of all this in just a blink of an eye. So just relax while I go talk to him.”
MINUTES LATER…
The door to my ward opened and Chris walked in with Doctor Smith by his side. From the expression on his face, I could tell that the discussion didn’t go well in any way. But why it didn’t left so many questions on my lips that I just couldn’t wait for them to get close.
“Master” he called when he got close and I stared at him with hopeful eyes.
“I’m sorry Dagrin but what you’re asking for can’t be done.”
“But why!” I growled glaring at him and feeling like punching the hell out of his damn mouth.
“Growling won’t solve anything, my friend.”
“I’m not your fucking friend. Get that into your empty skull!”
“Calm down Master,” Chris said and tried to touch me but I flinched and glared at him and that made him halt his movement. He sighed and stood back up. “Please just calm down.”
“Don’t fucking tell me that Chris! Just tell this dude you call Doctor here to tell me why he doesn’t want to accept what you suggested to him. Like what the fuck is wrong with you man! Why are you so bent on frustrating on my damn life!”
“I’m not bent on frustrating your life Dagrin. If there’s anyone who wants you up and standing right now then that person will be me. What Chris suggested is a great idea if I’m to be honest but your body can’t take it. It will put you at more risk! Especially if you go back to war! It’s not all about using that stuff Dagrin! It’s all about the do’s and don’s involved in it! Can you fulfill them? And also don’t you know everything comes with disadvantages?”
“Do I look like I care about the flaws it might have? All I care about right now is to move about and do some damn thing!”
“That’s it Dagrin! You don’t even care about your fucking life. Sorry I used the f word. But I just don’t understand why you don’t even care a bit about yourself. I’m a Doctor and I’ll never lie to you. What your body needs right now after experiencing all it experienced and after taking in so many bullets is rest! Please listen to me and relax so that your body can heal! I’m doing this for you Dagrin cause I respect and admire your personality. And also cause I can’t let the dear friend and servant of Lord Snipy die out of his carelessness.
“I appreciate your respect and admiration over me Smith but if you truly do have all that for me then you will let me go. If you also in any way care about my Mistress then you will help me in every way you can to get back on my feet either artificially or naturally.”
He sighed exasperatedly and cracked his fingers making a popping sound to echo. “Doing this will put me in trouble Dagrin. I’ll be to be blamed if anything happens to you cause you’re under my care. I just don’t know how to go about it. Like, I’m afraid of you ending up in more danger than you already are.”
“I think my Master can take care of himself, Doctor Smith. You don’t have to be afraid of anything. Being afraid of Master Dagrin’s safety is like being afraid of the coming of night after day. I hope you understood the pun in what I just said.”
“I did understand what you meant Chris but then the don’s are bigger than the do’s and Dagrin here already has other wounds. He just needs rest, not anything else. I’m sorry but I can’t help. He will remain here till he’s healed.”
“What’s fucking wrong with you dude! Don’t get me pissed off! Don’t fucking do it cause if you do you will regret ever knowing me when I get healed! I swear on your mum that I’ll kill you and your family and also burn down this hospital if you don’t get me out when I want! It’s not a threat but a promise! Get that into your empty skull and remember it always! Let it be your food for thought till when I come to fulfill it! Asshole!”
He shivered and took two steps backward. “I’m so afraid right now cause I know what you can do but if you want to kill me, my family, and other innocent souls just cause I chose to save your life then so be it. I’ll take my leave now. Take care.”
He turned and strolled out shutting the door so roughly that it reverberated around the whole place.
“Shit!” I cursed and punched the thin air in heavy breaths feeling like tearing anything my hands could clasp apart.
The door suddenly opened just as I was about to punch the wall and the asshole walked in.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I think you should save that blow for the folk you will be meeting after now,” he said and my eyes dilated. “Don’t be surprised, I’ve decided to help you get what you want but only on one condition. Once you accept my condition I’ll carry out everything needed to get you back on your feet but with the aid of the machine.”
