Alvira groaned as she rolled to lie on her stomach at the edge of her soft bed and slowly opened her eyes. It was the first time she was sleeping in her bed this week, it was also the first time she wasn't being woken up by the loud annoying sound of her phone alarm, which she has to manage since she accidentally ruined the manual alarm clock she owns. It was also a day free from her abusive boss, who was no other than Sir Simon. She no longer saw him as her patient, no patient treated their caregiver the way he treated her. She thought with a sigh as she began to get moody at the nature of her job and the amount of stress she had gone through in one week. Luckily for her, her mother had asked her to come to spend the night at home when she returned home last night since she didn't have night shifts on Friday night. Alvira was most grateful for the offer that she ran home and fell on her bed with a heavy thud, dozing off before her head even hit the pillow, she didn't even bother t

Alvira had spent her entire morning baking and making strawberry smoothies, a skill she had acquired during her time as a waiter at a lunch cafe. She then packed the food and snacks into a lunch box and basket and rushed off to St. Josie hospital. "Morning dad!" She chirped as she walked into her father's hospital room. "Good morning darling. Wow! Is that a new dress? It looks amazing on you, my dear." Tim said fawning over his daughter who twirled at his words and giggled. "Thanks, dad." She said as she placed the picnic basket on the floor and sat on the chair beside his bed. "Where's mom?" she asked, her eyes drifting to the bathroom door." "Oh, she was invited by the doctor to his office, she would be here any minute now." He said with a smile, but Alvira's brows furrowed in worry,"The doctor? Is there a problem? Maybe I should join them," She said with worry as she began to stand up. Tim immediately held her hand, "Where do you think you are going, your father hasn't had a

St. Jose hospital had a pack built behind the hospital, a place where both patients and staff could spend quality time, it was a large piece of land beautified with expensive flowers and white sidewalk benches. The fragrance of the flowers filled the air during the day and one could sit under one of the large oak trees there to enjoy the cool summer breeze. It was the perfect place for some alone time and an amazing place to spend lunchtime away from the bustling cafeteria. Emily pushed Tim's wheelchair into the garden as they searched for a perfect spot for themselves, and soon they found it, a spot under the canopy of a large tree not far from a sidewalk bench. Emily laid the picnic cloth on the grass, and helped him unto it, then plopped pillows behind his back so he could rest against the large tree comfortably. She then got on her knees and began to unpack the food basket Alvira had packed. She set the first lunch box down and opened it, "Ah! looks like your daughter only

The sales attendant who had personally made an enemy of Alvira already smiled when she heard Simon threaten to fire Alvira if she leaves. Her smile even broadened when she saw Alvira leave. She knew for a fact that a woman with a personality like Alvira's could not stay employed for long, especially when she worked for the rich who liked obedience so much. Her lack of manners was bound to make her lose her job. She thought with a smile as she brought back the clothes she had been trying to return to the furious Simon. "Sir, do you want me to pack these clothes for you or should we continue shopping for another? I can help you pick some really nice casual clothes." She said with a pleasant smile, but Simon barely glanced at her before saying. "No, thank you. I won't be taking any of them. Neither would I continue with the shopping." He said and began to push himself out of the boutique surprising the sales attendant. So in one word, she had spent more than two hours attending to

Alvira opened her eyes on the hospital bed and looked out the window not far from her bed. It was morning already and a beautiful one at that, the sky was a mixture of blue and white clouds, not entirely clear but beautiful.She sighed as she reached up to touch her head with her right hand, her head felt so heavy, and she didn't know why, she couldn't even remember when she had fallen asleep. The previous day must have been really exhausting she thought, then began to wonder why her room smelt like Iodofoam. She also had a weird dream where her father died and she...... Her eyes widen as she recalled the dream that seem too much like a memory. Her eyes moved over her body frantically and she noticed a few things, The first was that she was dressed in a white johnny gown, lying in a bed that was too small to be hers, only hospitals have this kind of bed. She thought, and her eyes finally rested on the drip hung up and attached to a needle inserted into her wrist. That was when s
