I'm here for you

Chapter 8

A week went by and Anita was lying in her bed.
Being in a hospital was nothing for her.
She wanted to be free and not alone.

The door went open and Anita looked up surprisingly. She didn't expect anyone before five 'o clock, the time Victor always came to visit her.

"Hey, Anita." sounded.

"Mildred, what are you doing here?"

"I thought that you would be alone, so…"

"You came to visit me."

Mildred nodded. "So, how are you doing?" she said while she sat down next to Anita's bed.

"I don't know." Anita sighed. "They only ask me how I'm doing and all they say is 'hmm'."

"You can't change it, that's how doctors are." Mildred smiled

The women talked about some stuff when a doctor came in.

"I want to examine Ms Knight." he said and Mildred looked up.

"I'm not leaving my daughter, who I haven't seen for months." Anita looked to Mildred.

"Your daughter?" the doctor said, while his eyes switched between Mildred and Anita.

"Yes, she got the looks from her father. And I couldn't visit her earlier because I was on a business trip and I heard the news yesterday." Mildred looked to the doctor. "My name is Mildred Knight and I want some information about my daughter."

The doctor nodded. "She broke a few ribs and her left leg. During her coma is her leg cured, so she can walk again with some practice and some rest. Only her ribs…they are still healing, but it'll take some time."

"When can I go home?" Anita asked.

"You live alone, don't you?" the doctor asked and Anita nodded. "Than you'll stay here till all of your ribs are healed."

"But…"

"But what if she comes home with me?" Mildred said. "I have a spare room, so she can rest there, and I'll see if she takes enough rest and she does nothing that she can't take."

"Alright." the doctor sighed. "If it's alright with you, she can go to your place tomorrow. But she needs to go to see me once a week. To see if the ribs heal fine."

"Alright, I'll take care of that." Mildred said and the doctor left.

"Mildred," Anita said when the doctor left. "Why did you do that? I'm not your daughter."

Mildred smiled. "Well, you know that and I know that, but the doctor doesn't."

"But, why…"

"I know you longer than today, Anita, and I knew that you can't take a week longer here."

"But now you have to take care of me. I don't want to be…" Anita looked to Mildred.

"I'm always alone at home. Victor comes only when he has some time and sometimes on Friday to have diner with me. So I can use some company."

Anita smiled. "Thank you, Mildred." she said.

"Hey, I would always help my son's partner." Mildred said with a smile.

The door went open and Victor walked in.

"Mum?" he said surprisingly. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm talking with Anita." Mildred said.

Victor walked to the women and took a chair. "So, how are you today?" he said when he sat down.

"Good, actually." Anita said. "I'm going home tomorrow."

"Really?" Victor said and Anita nodded.

"She's going to my house tomorrow." Mildred said.

"She is? Why?"

"Because I'll take care of her for the next weeks." Mildred stood up. "I'm going back home. I'll see you tomorrow." she said and she said goodbye to Victor and Anita.

"Are you sure that you want to stay there?" Victor asked and Anita nodded.

"Everything is better than staying here." she said and Victor smiled.

"Alright. I'll pick you up tomorrow." Victor said and Anita nodded.

"So, what happened today?" she asked and Victor started to tell.
