Confidentiality is the hallmark of this profession, so you have
nothing to worry about. He responded and I walked away. I went straight to the
market to buy clothes and veils to disguise myself. I don't need a thank you
from anybody, I am only doing this, because I know how it feels to loose a
mother. Curtis might be stubborn, but he wouldn't find it easy, if he looses
his mum. Caleb on the other hand has suffered too much stress to watch him go
through another. I thought. In the evening, I disguised myself in the veil and
went to the hospital. Doctor, how did it go? I asked. They are more than ready
for you young lady. Her husband is so much grateful already. He responded. What
next? I asked. The ambulance is taking you people to the regional hospital as early
as 5am. He responded. Am I going to be alone in the ambulance with the patient
or there will be an accompanying relative? I asked. You will be in the
ambulance with the patient and two nurses. The relatives will follow the
ambulance in their family car. He explained. Alright then, I will be back in
the morning, see you later. I responded and walked away to the church to sleep.
I prayed throughout the night. God, I am doing this for you and Caleb, please
take control over everything. In case I don't make it, please, keep the woman
alive for his children. Early in the dawn, I walked to the hospital promises
and joined the ambulance. Few hours later, we arrived at the regional hospital.
I saw Caleb and Curtis through my veil. I saw how sad they were. Caleb was
almost crying when the medical team was attending to his mother. I stared at
him sadly. Caleb, I know you wouldn't have allowed me do this if you knew I was
the one. I know you still despise me, I know you still feel betrayed, but, I am
sorry for no offence. You told me months back, never to let go off you nor the
love I have for you, and I am still keeping the promise. I thought in tears.
Various tests were conducted on me, reports proved me compatible and medically
fit for the surgery the next day. The doctor at Praso hospital had already
communicated to regional medical team about keeping my identity confidential,
so they did everything possible to ensure that. The next day, we went for the
surgery. After a long sleep, I finally woke up. She is awake! I heard one of
the nurses screaming happily. I quickly looked around to ensure I wasn't dead.
Thank you God, thank you for keeping me alive. I prayed in thoughts. Nurse
please how is the woman? I struggled to ask. She is very fine. She has been
awake for two days now, while you were in coma. She explained. Coma? Really? I
fearfully asked. Yes coma, but thank God, you are fine now. The woman's family
have been very worried. She narrated. Did they have the opportunity to look at
my face? I asked. No dear, that is supposed to be confidential so we did
everything possible to ensure it. Let me go out and calm them with the good
news. She responded and walked out. I could hear Caleb and his family screaming
happily outside. God is wonderful! He is a miracle working God. I overheard Mr
Bentum saying. Two weeks later, I was discharged from the hospital. The doctor
drove me in his car to Praso as agreed between he and the Praso doctor. Young
anonymous lady, where do you stay? I mean where will you alight? He playfully
asked. I directed him to the church where I stayed. Why don't I take you home
before coming here later to give thanks to God like you want to do now? He
asked. This is my home doctor. I responded. I could see tears in his eyes as he
stared at me with so many questions running through his mind. Thank you for the
drive doctor, God bless you. I stated and got down from the car. I went
straight to where I had laid my mat, knelt on it, and began giving thanks to
God in prayers. After I finished praying, I opened my bag and brought out a
bread I had kept for the past two weeks. I took the first bite, and somebody
quickly held my hand to stop me from eating it.
