Chapter 3:

The sacrifice and the gift

Love's conundrum


I rode the magical carpet and hurriedly reached the lower hall. Oh my god ! My predictions about something bad always hits me...

The scarlet cat was covered in blood , breathless, calling for help. She ran towards me despite her injury, supporting a woman in her thirties with heavenly hair and a lean body full of bruises, unconscious, and a little girl similar to her clinging to Maya crying heartbreakingly.

The Mariscalo hurried to carry the young woman to the bed while the two girls rushed towards me begging me to save the poor woman. I quickly weared medical gloves while hearing Talal do a good job to calm little Sarah. Maya was hiding her concern as she embraced her sister. The robot did a CT scan and, thank God, no serious injuries, just these bruises on the woman's face and chest and a sharp drop in her blood pressure - my conclusion as confirmed by the monitor - needs to be corrected with a saline solution and a simple dose of vasopressors. It took me ten minutes to get the patient safe and sound. I have a lot of cases like this, aan they came to me in the hospital every day. It's not easy to diagnose and treat patients is not easy because it takes time and effort, and things like life and soul shall not underestimated. So I promised myself that I would develop myself more and more and never give up my career.

I came in to the two girls who were waiting for me in the rest hall . Little Sarah had finally calmed down, sleeping in her sister's lap... I feel so bad for her poor condition. She is Maya's 10-year-old , younger sister. Both girls share the mother, which is why Sarah is pure human because her father is human, unlike Maya, who was born from a hybrid father. You might as well know why Sarah is so similar to the injured lady. She's the young men's mother and she's called Raheeq. The poor woman was in the custody of Maya's father, who had mysteriously disappeared, and Maya was, I estimate, five or six years old. She grieves him and is led by fate to marry Sarah's father, but he is not a good example, especially after Sarah's birth. He drank and abused his wife by word and beat. What the poor woman can do is endure the humiliation for her daughters. She chose her family over being the bad mother and chose to surrender at the first hurdle. I'm sure it was these bruises that did him, and I swear that if he did something bad to Maya, I will destroy him.

Maya" how? How is she?! Is her condition dangerous?! ".

"No, thank God... She's fine and comfortable. Don't worry... ".

Mariscalo progress towards us :

"Maya. Is that him...?! ".

the girl with scarlet hair understood the point of question :

"Yes, it's that man again... He beat my mother for no reason. ".

Talal – angrily – "Maya... You have to convince your mother to change her decision and sue him... What is this how you should be treated...! This is not what you deserve..! ".

Doctor Adnan" I agree with Talal. I can talk to her if you want. You deserve a better life... ".

Maya lowers her head down, "I told her before and my mother chose patience for Sarah... I respect her opinion she doesn't want Sarah to be like me and I will defend them even if it costs me my own life... ".

Mariscalo " at the mention of this ... Do you mind if the doctor examines you...?! ".

Dr. Adnan: "This is an order, Maya... ".

Maya, "How long have you been ordering me, doctor?! I will not undergo any procedure unless I check on my mother..! ".

Maya has always been a protector in the face of fire, having lost her father. This forced Maya to help her mother financially and emotionally, and she joined the bounty hunter's Guild to earn a stable income due to her varied skills, but she was also there for her mother, just as her mother found her on the roundtable. If I were to go back in time, I would never forget her magnanimity and her relentless defence of her mother against this tyrant, even though she didn't like it to be known. I really respect this young woman so much, and I wonder what school she taught her. No wonder the mother is the perfect school... like father, like daughter, and like mother ,like daughter.

I politely asked Maya to check on little Sarah, and she agreed joyfully, despite the signs of fatigue on her light face, as Mariscalo and his son asked permission to give her some rest. Sarah was in perfect health and just needed some rest and proper nutrition. I let the heavenly hair sleep and saw Maya looking at me tenderly as she signaled to sit next to her on the chairs in the lounge.

"I'm sorry to bother you with our family problems... I will always be grateful to you for saving my mother's life. ".

"Don't say that... This is my duty and your problems are my problems and seeing you sad haunts my mind and tears my serenity... ".

"What's wrong with the patch on your forehead?! Did you stumble down the stairs or something similar...?! ".

"Um... You can say this... But thank God it's not a serious injury... ".

Maya's ears drooped and lowered her head in reprimand. I patted her head:

"No Maya... Be as cheerful as I knew you..! It's a superficial injury and everything is fine...! ".

She looked at me with a tender look and tears crystallized in her blue eyes:

"Is it true what you say?!"

"Yes, it is. Isn't it right, robot ?! ".

Robot 1" Yes... ".

I wiped her head and she smiled and felt amazing. She is like a cat who loves patting very much.

"Everything will be fine from now on, Mom... ".

"Absolutely. Do not worry... ".

Raheeq woke up from her sleep and started shouting the name of her two daughters, tears falling with her eyes like rain. Maya and I approached her to reassure her.

Dr. Adnan "Don't worry about your daughters... They're fine... Look here is the Maya next to you."

Maya – holds her mother's palm and kiss it – "It's all over, Mom... You're fine and that guy never got to you again... ".

The mother started crying hard as she recalled his mistreatment to her and her two daughters, especially Maya... I glimpsed the mariscalo smoking cigars as he heard her sad hymns with a broken gaze. I didn't know what to do.

Raheeq " A... Where is she.... Sarah?! -crying- ."

Maya, "She's sleeping... You should be comfortable too... ".

Dr. Adnan, "What did you mean when you said it was over forever...?!"

Maya, don't worry. We resolved it peacefully... ".

I went out with Maya to let Mrs. Raheeq enjoy the rest, and she went on with the blue eyes:

"I paid him the required amount and under the testimony of a number of treasure hunters and judges to leave without return and divorce my mother...!"

I felt a shiver ... How can this young woman determine the fate of her mother?! Is it possible that she wants to make her sister like her suffer both?!.

"Isn't that cruelty from you?! How do you do this?! Did your mother give you permission...?! ".

"You have the freedom to interpret as you wish...!"

The scarlet haired woman landed on the seat unconscious... She was holding the left side of her belly. I felt her pulse and it was weak and her temperature was high... ..! Is it possible that he...!

I picked up the young woman and laid her on my bed in the small room... The robot was conducting a scan to detect any internal damage... What a fool..! I had to insist on her to accept the medical examination from the beginning... I hurried to deliver saline to raise her blood pressure and then to examine her stomach...

I couldn't believe my eyes...!

 

 

 

 

There was an injury to the left iliac region... Undoubtedly, it's an injury from a bottle of drink planted by that evil man.I don't have time to think about what happened, but I have to change the result no matter what...! I brought the surgical kit and the robot provided me with a picture of the wound... It's not sunken, as it doesn't go beyond some abdominal muscles, which is good news.

Robot 1 "I will provide you with continuous pulse and pressure reading... Is this good for you?! ".

"Absolutely... Just let me get an analgesic syringe and a sterilization solution... ".

I started working after using local anesthesia with a small amount of analgesic in intravenous solution. I wonder how she was able to endure the pain so long...?!Yes, hybrids can tolerate more pain than we humans and even adapt to treatment faster because of their active cells, but... What are you hiding from me, Maya?! You hold yourself with responsibilities greater than your age... I can't understand you. But this pulsating muscle in my chest refuses not to be docile to you and his young heart burns in you.   You are a mystery whose answer I did not know and the destination of the heart to follow.

A few hours later, little Loli Sarah woke up and headed towards her mother. It was a heartbreaking sight to see them together , with the mother wiping her daughter's head glad she was fine. I simply withdrew and found the Mariscalo on his desk finishing the tasks and smoking cigars.

"Can I join you..?! ".

Mariscalo knew I wasn't a smoker so I brought a cup of coffee and sat on one of the chairs next to him.

Mariscalo "I think you know why Maya is late today...!".

Dr. Adnan " yes. You told me... I can't believe she does such a thing on herself...! ".

I looked at Mariscalo as he exhaled smoke:

" what she do by herself !"

"Am I wrong?!"

"Usually, the rose is topped with thorns... But what will happen if the thorns are on the rose?! Is it right to call it even a rose ?! ".

I shook my head denied, "No... Of course not... ".

Mariscalo looked at me:

"That's exactly what that guy did with Raheeq . He destroyed her and was taking advantage of her position as a manager to steal money from her and, unfortunately, her health as well... Maya did the right thing when she insisted on divorce after her mother chose this decisive decision and even Sarah could no longer stand this man... ".

Oh my god ! I rushed to judge Maya... ! I regret this even though I have known her for more than 5 years... My heart aches as I have wronged her with my terrible thinking about her. She's a girl of flowers and roses... Her heart is more tender than paper. She sacrificed a lot to fulfill her mother's wish.

Talal broke the rope of my daydreams , who poked me so that I could be aware of his presence...

Talal " What the world are you in?! I called you until my vocal cords were cut off...! ".

"  A... I am sorry... How can I serve you?! ".

The brown-haired hand me an electronic chip.

"This is from Maya... She asked me to give it to you when you were treating their mother "

Wow! This chip..! It is a rare chip and can only be obtained for someone working in one of the advanced laboratories... Wow... How grateful I am to you Maya... I love you now more than ever... The robot revealed the contents of the chip and did not disappoint me...! This chip will allow me to take my inventions to the next level.
