Instead of taking what Hilary said as another provocation of hers, Amy was in bad mood and had taken what Hilary said seriously.
'It seems true that I've been bringing bad luck to Richard ever since I'm with him. Am I the jinx that he has been mentioning?'
"Just disregard what Hilary said, she's such a loose-tongued, speaks without thinking, she can't keep anything to herself, come on, stand up," Addy said as she went to help Amy.
"Don't help her, Addy, she's such a mean woman that does not deserve our sympathy. Come on, let's go!" Hilary urged Addy to go with her.
Silence filled the room once Hilary left. Amy stared blankly at Richard.
"Am I a jinx to you, Richard? Have you been suffering being with me and did I make you suffer?" Amy mumbled as she rested her face on Richard's hand. His hand was not hot or cold, just slightly warm.
Amy's tears dripped onto Richard's palm, he was the only one who knew what she had been through, yet, he could only lay sleeping on the bed now.
"Mrs. Carter, I need to bring Mr. Carter for a check-up, could you give me a hand?" A nurse came in, today was the day for Richard's checkup.
"Sure." Amy went to the other side and was ready to move Richard's body to another bed with rollers.
"Let me do it." A tall figure appeared beside Amy and he carried Richard from his bed and put him down slowly on another one.
A man was indeed stronger in strength, he managed to transfer him to another bed without messing with the tubes, lines, ports, or catheters attached to Richard.
"Thank you." Amy glanced at Matt. They met each other quite frequently lately, and it was always during times where she needed help that he appeared out of nowhere.
"It's nothing. I'm just dropping by to visit Mr. Carter since I have something to do nearby. This is nothing worth mentioning, I shall go now and will drop by again later." Matt left once he finished transferring Richard.
Amy on the other hand followed the nurse to Richard's checkup.
"All the results are normal and stable, Mr. Baker will have a meeting with medical professionals from overseas tomorrow, discussing Mr. Carter's condition. They will discuss solutions that could wake him up from the vegetative state." The doctor explained to Amy once the checkup was done.
"Oh, noted." The doctor's words lit up hope in Amy's heart.
As usual, Matt came on time, he appeared again the moment Amy and the nurse returned to the room pushing Richard.
He then transferred Richard back to his bed, said a few comforting words to Amy, and left straight after that.
Amy felt weird that Matt always appeared at times she needed help. She was also a little suspicious of his sudden concerns towards Richard.
