When Rose woke up the second time after dozing off talking to her mother she felt the need to relieve herself so she asked Marianne if she could go, Marianne called for Lucy and she came almost immediately.
"Anything wrong?", Lucy asked.
"No, she just wants to go to the bathroom", Marianne told her.
Lucy walked over to Rose to help her down but as she was uncovering her Rose didn't feel the grip on her legs to help her down, she tried to move them but had no feeling in them.
"Mummy, I can't feel my legs!", She cried out.
Lucy looked at her and was shocked at the development so she put her back and ran to find their doctor, "I will be right back".
"Mummy I still have to go", Rose complained.
Marianne who was now at a loss for words and scared of what the doctor might say looked at her with fear,
"I know my baby, but the doctor has to see why you can't move your legs okay".
Lucy came back after a few minutes with doctor ca
"She's a very beautiful woman", Raphael said to Lucy as she approached him.Lucy looked back at Marianne walking towards the car and looked at him again,"Mr Sorrell?", she called as she waved a hand in his face because it looked like he was lost in a trans.Raphael blinked hard and turned to Lucy,"Oui mademoiselle, have you come to complain?", he asked gently and curiously."Why would I come to complain? It's not like you have been indirectly harassing my patient", Lucy said with sarcasm.Raphael thought for a second and realized how ignorant he had been, losing two people in one year can really take a toll on your brain. He squeezed his soft dark lips inwards and offered to apologize to Marianne while she was still around."I don't think that's a good idea Mr. Sorrell, she seems really upset right now. Maybe you should give her some time okay?", Lucy insisted.Raphael agreed and asked, "But how will I see her when she calms
Marianne walked into Lucy’s house /her new home and was welcomed with a wonderful lavender fragrance coming from the air fresheners that were installed on the walls and all over the furniture, there were all sorts of beautiful colors and that was just the hall way.On the left was the white and grey themed kitchen, and on the right was the living room with a massive door way enabling whoever was in the kitchen to chat across the hall.The sofas were C shaped and light purple in color with grey and silver cushions. The eighty five inch flat screen smart TV was mounted above a TV stand fully decorated with crystals, sculptures and other assorted things. Rose was so excited she nearly leaped from her chair and Marianne was still blown away by the fact that they would be living there from there on.Marianne still didn’t feel comfortable knowing she would not be of help around the house, with a house that big, Lucy obviously had maids that did everything. Maybe she coul
George finished with the delivery guys and saw them off, as he was returning to discuss with Lucy his phone rang. It was his company's secretary Jane all the way from China, he ignored the call and said to himself that he would call after talking to Lucy because what he had to say could not wait. Jane called again and that was what alarmed George, she would never call again if it was not important.So George picked the call, "Yes Jane, is there a problem?" he asked.Lucy heard him ask Jane what was wrong and all of a sudden George stopped and turned pale, it was as if he had seen a ghost,"George is everything okay?" Lucy walked over to him and asked with so much concern."Okay I'm taking the next flight out, everything will be fine", George assured his secretary and cut the line."I have to go, there's been a slight set back at the shipping company and if I don't get there as soon as possible my company is history" he told Lucy a
Marianne stared blankly into the tiny cup that Lucy had handed over to her. It felt like she had been standing in that position for so long, and in that split second of time, she unintentionally forced herself to reminisce on everything she had been through till that point."It doesn’t make any sense, I can’t be….do I even want to be?", while tears rolled down her cheek as she thought about everything that happened from the news about the pregnancy to after the accident.The possibility of raising a new born baby in her current situation would only make things worse. How would she even begin to convince herself one more time that she is capable to stand on her own? How would she be able to raise the baby without its father? Without having to think about his cruelty, will she ever heal from the pain he put her through?A shadow from underneath the bathroom door sways fast enough to destruct Marianne from her thoughts; Lucy must have been pacing around waiting for he
Lucy realized she was thinking in a different direction and looked at Marianne who was waiting for her to get what she really meant.“Oh, you meant by the opposite sex didn’t you?" Lucy raised an eyebrow as she corrected herself."All I can say is never trust a man that is born on his birthday,” she smiled and turned to the stove to check on her baked potatoes.That aroma reminded Marianne of the time that she wanted to surprise Greg with a special dinner on a Saturday evening, dressed in a sulky night dress with the scent of a fresh morning glory flower. How she loved to treat him, with the hopes that he would one day truly love her and return the favor. Another tear formed within her eye before finally rolling down her cheek. She wiped her eye fast enough before Lucy turned around again to see her.“Are you okay?” Lucy asked, she tilted her head on one side.“Yeah, uhm….I was just wondering, should
Lucy walked into the house quietly just so she wouldn’t alarm Marianne. She had been through so much already.“I’m not saying I pity her”, a voice inside Lucy just kept telling her and reminding her that Marianne deserved better. She didn’t deserve to be dictated by a mere man who sought nothing but the satisfaction of his own greed. Marianne took that situation better than Lucy would. She just wondered what miracle waited to happen from the Great God that will put a smile on her face, one that would carry ten thousand moons without the help of a pampas man.Marianne was sleeping on the sofa with Rose wrapped in her arms when Lucy stepped into the living room. She could already see by the constant curves that Marianne’s eyebrows were taking that she was having a nightmare. Slowly creeping up to her, she stood to block the light from the chandelier that was shining on her face with the hope that she sensed Lucy and awakened. Her
Lucy returned to the kitchen to finish up with a small dinner while Marianne set the table in advance.“It’s just the three of us now, when will your brother return?” that question from Marianne gave Lucy’s body a different reaction,“does she really need him here or is she just asking out of curiosity?” Lucy thought to herself.“Well. I could only say that he will be here soon. Why do you ask?” Lucy asked almost sounding a little suspicious like she was hiding something. It became more obvious because she giggled right after she gave that statement.“No reason, it would just be nice to have a fourth person at the table of four, or maybe the little guy growing inside of me is enough to make up for a number four”, Marianne smiled as she wiped the forks and placed them on the side of the table, realizing that she had a little person inside of her at that moment made her rub her tummy.Lucy w
“Hey, don't be afraid. I just called to tell you that I still love you, and I miss you a lot”, the voice sounded so familiar that it set her heart racing,"could this be one of my exes coming back to haunt me, God no", she thought to herself.Reminiscing about her past love life last night wasn’t her actually saying that she wanted to go down that road again, Jesus. She had patients to look after.“Who is this? This some kind of a joke?” she stammered through her sentence and that made the ‘mysterious guy’ laugh out loud at the sound of her trembling voice, he knew that she was curious and not happy about it so he just came clean.“Chill out sis, it’s just me, your favorite brother”, He laughed even harder after saying this and she could only roll her eyes as she took a deep breath to resuscitate herself from the horrible thoughts she just had.“Not anymore dummy. I’m going to
