I sighed, “I deeply apologize for this. It’s unlike the Torres family. I’m sure something is holding them up. I’ll try t=”
“What about my pay? I’m afraid I might have to stop giving my services if I d-”
“I was coming to that, Miss. Text your account number and rate to this number. I will pay you immediately. So please, continue to take care of him.”
“Alright. Thank you.”
“I’ll also try to –”
I blinked when I heard the click that signaled that the call had ended. I raised my brow and shrugged as I dropped my phone. I didn’t blame her, I would have been madder if I were her. She was just so soft- spoken that I hadn’t expected that she would hang up on me
I shook my head as I reclined in my seat. This was really unfortunate. Mark had been in a coma since his operation was finalized. Yes, he had been unconscious since his surgery. I couldn’t keep staying so I had to leave but my case was understandable, right? I had work to deal with plus I wasn’t exactly related to him
Sandra had always been a selfish bitch so I wasn’t surprised that she was yet to go see her fiance who couldn’t show up to their engagement because he was involved in a fatal car accident but his mother?
Rose was always all over Mark, she made it seem like she was the first woman to have a child, who knew she would find it hard to pay him a visit at the hospital?
I thought of what to do, how to reach out to them. I could either go to them or place a call through to them but that would be so much stress so I decided to go with the latter.
I licked up my phone again. I was not sure if I had Rose’s phone number but I scrolled through my contact list in search of it anyway.
I found it. My thumb hovered above it. I have always hated any form of communication between my former mother–in–law and I; I used to do anything to avoid getting in situations that would require us to interact.
I thought of calling Sandra instead but it was only natural and sensible that his mother would be the first person I will reach out to, not the woman that was indifferent about him.
I sighed and dialed her number.
“Grandma Doris, this is for you,” I muttered to myself as the phone rang. “I’m doing these things that I don’t like or want to do because I want to keep my promise to you.”
If only Doris was here, I’m sure she would have rushed to the hospital that morning.
The ringing ended and no one picked up. I frowned and cocked my head to the side as I dialed the
number again. After a few seconds, the ringing stopped as there was no response.
My frown deepened as I stubbornly redialed the number.
“Why isn’t she picking up?”

There was still no response after I redialed it the fourth time. If she was intentionally ignoring my call then she must be a fool and not care about her son at all. So far, she must know that I was the only one who would be with Mark in the hospital and since I never called her, she was supposed to know that I must be calling her regarding Mark.
