Miranda – A New Beginning
Chapter 37
AT THE HOSPITAL
Mrs. Gail – "Yes, sweetheart, Miranda's right here too! Wake up my angel, wake up for Mummy and Miranda."
Dr. Gail slowly starts to come round.
Gary – "I'll go and call the doctor!"
Gary runs out of the room.
Dr. Gail – "Miranda?"
Miranda – "I'm here Peter. So is your mum."
Dr. Gail – "Where am I?"
Mrs. Gail – "You're in the hospital darling. You had an accident."
Miranda – "You fell and hit your head, Peter. In the shop."
Dr. Gail – "Oh. My head is rather sore. But I feel much better for seeing you, Miranda. And you Mum."
Mrs. Gail – "Thank goodness you're alright! We have all been so worried."
Dr. Gail – "Sorry for worrying you. And thanks for the little party last night Mum; Miranda and I had a lovely time."
Miranda – "Um, that wasn't last night Peter. That was two days ago!"
Mrs. Gail – "Oh no, he has concussion! Or amnesia!"
Miranda – (under her breath) "Oh my God."
Mrs. Gail – "Don't you remember the last two days Peter darling?"
Dr. Gail – "No, what day is it?"
The doctor enters with Gary.
Mrs. Gail – "Oh Doctor! Peter has come round but he's lost some of his memory!"
Gary – "What! Um, I mean, what part?"
Doctor – "Don't worry; it's quite common. Generally it's only temporary and Dr. Gail should start to remember everything very soon. Now, I recommend we let him get some rest."
