"Mom, the baby's been put here, yes, we're taking it to the treatment room." A nurse brought a small, wheeled bed that was reserved for babies.
Sarah put Belle who was already sound though still a little restless, on the small bed. The small body was already quite flushed compared to when it came at the beginning earlier. Sarah follows from behind where the nurse will take her foster baby.
William who has completed the payment, with wide steps following Sarah and Belle who have been out of the IGD room. She slowed down as Sarah and the nurse stood waiting for the elevator door to open. Her eyes were fixed on Sarah's lower body. Just realized, the woman was not wearing footwear. The soles of the feet are blackened as well as many red scratches on the heels.
"Suster, what floor will it be on?" ask William.
"Third floor, mother and baby care room in Eldeweis' room" William thanked with a nod of his head and a faint smile.
"You go up first, I'll catch up." William poked Sarah on the shoulder and turned away.
Sarah doesn't care where the man is going, she just wants to see Belle get good care. Sarah's steps slowed as the nurse opened the door to the room devoted to VVIP patients.
He is no stranger to such a room in a hospital. Frequently visiting friends and colleagues Papaanya, none of them treated in a regular classroom. He also believed that William's class could afford this expensive room. But what surprised her was that, when her husband suspected her and Belle, William was still willing to give his best.
"Please rest, Mum, the baby's sleeping." The nurse pointed at a bed that was no less large than the one in William's room.
The contents of the room were like a star-rated hotel, complete with a flat-screen television and a refrigerator. Spacious inner bathroom and sofa and bed for padded guard.
"Thank you." Sarah waits on the sofa as the nurse prepares Belle in her special bed.
"Mother rushed to leave until she brought nothing. Sandals forget." The nurse chuckled as she placed the infusion in Belle's tiny hand.
Sarah looked down at her body. Its smooth legs have blackened and flushed because of asphalt friction. Why could he not feel anything, running out barefoot. After realizing that his feet were naked, he felt pain and pain in the soles of his feet.
"Don't worry, Mom. We can provide milk, clothes and toiletries for the mother and her child. What a great mother, flying like a super woman to the hospital for her son." The nurse praised sincerely, "I'll take medicine for a wound on Mom's leg soon."
"Thank you, Sus." The second time Sarah can only say thank you. After feeling the softness of the sofa, hunger and fatigue whack his body.
After the nurse summarized her equipment, then walked out of the room she passed William who was just about to enter, "This time her husband had bought medicine first. Let me help treat his wife, sir."
"It's okay, let me be, '" William refused as the nurse asked for the red medicine he was carrying.
William immediately closed the door after the nurse nodded and resigned. Still with his cold and flat gaze, he walked over to Sarah.
"Wil, please, I'm tired of talking about it tomorrow. I promise I'll explain it to you." Sarah held up her palms to keep William from approaching her. He really doesn't have the strength to argue tonight.
Not caring about Sarah's ban, William kept approaching her and pulled his hand up to stand up from the sofa.
"Wil, this is a hospital please don't make a fuss, Belle is sick again. I'd like to take a little break." Sarah pleads. His body was already weak and powerless to resist William who forced him away from the comfortable sofa.
"The rest you'll finish yourself. I just bought a pair of nightgowns, tomorrow you have to go home to get a change of clothes" William said, handing over the still-lit shower.
Sarah was still silently sculpting as William threw a plastic bag over the sink. The man came out and closed the bathroom door with a flat face with no expression.
After making sure her husband was out and would not re-enter, Sarah locked the bathroom door and dismantled the contents of the plastic bag that William had brought.
"He was right to buy me a nightgown." Sarah held up her yellow shirt and trousers. In the plastic there is also a complete toiletry with a towel. Sarah smiled and felt sorry for being prejudiced against her husband.
Sarah's bath was further reduced to the sight of William lying on Belle's side while helping the baby hold a bottle of milk.
"Wil," call Sarah slowly.
William looked up and stood up from the bed. Without speaking, the man coded with his hand for Sarah to sit on the sofa.
"What do you want?" Sarah pulled the leg that William was about to hold.
"Don't move much!" said ketus. Still half-kneeling, William applied the medicine on Sarah's injured leg and covered it with a wound-covering plaster.
"Thank you" said Sarah.
"Eat." With the tail of his eyes, William pointed at the ready-to-eat lunch box placed on the table.
"Have you eaten yourself?" ask Sarah slowly. William looked for a moment and climbed into Belle's bed and turned his back on Sarah.
Chicken and rice and his friends felt heavy sliding in Sarah's esophagus. Disinclined and unpleasant taste to William, making him try to reduce the sound of soy sauce when eating.
"Thank you for the food and the clothes. Let me take care of Belle. You go home." Sarah stood by Belle's bedside with William also sleeping on it, "Wil ...."
With no movement and no sound, Sarah extended her neck trying to see the faces of William and Belle. The two different-aged humans looked calm with their eyes tightly closed. Belle's tiny hand clasped William's index finger tightly, as if it would not allow his foster Papa to leave his side.
Not wanting to disturb the two, Sarah inched up onto the bed reserved for the guard family. He laid his body on his side facing William, who was sleeping, curled up in Belle's bed.
'Don't love him too much, Wil. I'm afraid Belle will have a hard time parting with you later. I also didn't know if we were going to stay together or not.' Sarah muttered with my eyes almost closed.
Almost as he slept, the cell phone in the bag of pants he was wearing departed from the house ringing. With one jump, Sarah grabs the phone and turns off her voice before Belle and William wake up.
