(Author’s POV)
"She is someone I got to know~ .... by chance," Myra jumped in.
Amy pursed her lips then nodded, trying to go with the flow as she settled down. At about the same time, Yelena, fresh from the bath, dressed in a casual outfit, walked out. She tried not to look at Brave or Alaric. When she saw Amy was here, she approached, "Mrs. Garcia."
"Ms. Yates, you are also here," Amy greeted her politely.
"Uhh~ ... I am sorry you invited both of us to the dinner, but I couldn’t make it," Yelena apologized, her voice was low.
"No problem, once Myra is fully fit and discharged from the hospital, we can set up another dinner meeting together," Amy said in a friendly tone. She had an affable personality to begin with, but for Myra, she wanted to go the extra mile and befriend her friends as well. Simply, to know more about her daughter’s life.
"For sure. We will do that," Yelena replied curtly. After that, Amy tried to talk to Myra, but each time her reply came out short and on point. Actually, Myra didn’t talk much to anyone; her mind was already filled with many thoughts.
So, Amy stopped forcing her way through and chit chatted with Nora and Yelena instead.
On the other side, William asked the twins, "Mr. Everests~ .... until when are you in Esteria?"
"The date is not set yet, but we will be staying here for a while," Alaric replied. "Mr. Miracle, you don’t have to call us so formally. Please feel free to address us with our first names," Brave added. William didn’t give any answer to that. Though Brave saved his daughter, he was still kind of wary of all of them.
Half an hour passed like that. Even if Myra didn’t say much, Amy showed no sign of going back. She was persistent, vigilant, wanting to ease Myra’s heart in some way. Soon, her phone buzzed. She took it out of her bag and checked the caller ID; it was Pearl Garcia. She excused herself to the balcony and attended the call.
"Hello," Amy spoke, her voice soft, mellow.
"Mom, where are you? I came to meet you, but neither you nor Dad is here," Pearl said with a bit of disappointment flickering in her tone.
"Uhhh~ .... I am~ .... I am busy right now. What happened? Do you need something, honey?" Amy inquired.
"Nahh~ nothing happened. I just wanted to meet you. When will you come back?" Pearl repeated her question.
When Amy was taking the call, another person came.
Yelena was the first one to see them and exclaimed while getting up from the seat, "Grandpa~ ...."
He called for her, "Mrs. Garcia~ ... Mrs.~ ..." but by then Amy had already passed out. He picked her up and said, "I will take her to another room and ask the doctor to check up on her." With that, he took Amy out. Both William and Oliver followed him as well.
"MYRAAAAAAAAAAAA~ ..." Nora’s shout pulled everyone else’s attention.
When Amy was in the middle of blacking out, Myra, though she could not move efficiently in her current state, instinctively tried to stop her from falling.
And in the process, she had stumbled out of bed. Her already weak legs couldn’t take the sudden pressure on her body. She fell on the floor, hard. The IV needle came off as well, as blood spluttered around.
Alaric hurdled over the table and dashed towards her to reach by Myra’s side. He picked her up in a swift move, put her in bed and instructed Nora, "Ora~ ... Go, call the doctor."
Nora rushed out frantically.
He then looked at Myra, both his hands gripping her now bleeding hand as he reprimanded, "Are you insane? Don’t you have any regard for your health? What were you trying to do? Huhhh?"
