Sassy Angel’s Secret Sin

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 – For Better or Worse 

(Anj‘s POV) 

“You are brave,” The older doctor said, looking at me with awe. We were in front of the ICU room, staring at the glass wall, watching Steve Mars in the bed sleeping. The doctor beside me is the chairman and personally attended to Mr. Mars‘ needs, the hospital‘s VIP. When Elenita told me he was the owner and the chairman, I didn‘t want to believe her. He seemed young to be the chairman, but when she said that Dr. Greene was born a genius and became a doctor at a young age, I did not hesitate anymore. “Thank you,” I said meekly, looking down to my feet. “I was well–trained by my mother,” I bit my lower lip after my lie. 

“If you were not there, it might be too late for him,” he said, tilting his head and looking directly into my eyes, and amazingly, we have the same round brown eyes. “How old are you?” “Eight... Er... Nineteen. It was my birthday yesterday,” I lied again. When I return, the first thing I would do is confess to Father Jesse, and I could imagine already spending the church the whole day praying and repenting for my sins. “Happy birthday!” The corners of his mouth lifted a smile that touched my heart, making me smile at him as well. I wondered why I felt weird in front of him, but maybe I was just feeling dizzy after the hangover, the emergency, and the hunger. I have not eaten my breakfast yet, which I never missed every morning for seventeen years. He turned to Sky, standing behind us, leaning on the wall as if looking for something solid to depend on after our tiring morning. He smiled at him. “You‘re lucky to have a friend like her. Is she your ” 

“Our maid,” Sky answered immediately, cutting the doctor and looking at me, squinting his eyes on me as if telling me that if I talked, he would cut my tongue. 

My eyes narrowed, and I could feel my nostrils flaring in anger, but I decided to press my lips together, and when my tears welled in my eyes, I bit my lower lip to stop myself from crying. 

“You‘re lucky to have a maid like her,” he glanced at Sky, nodding at him, and then he surprised me when he tousled my hair. “If someday you feel like looking for a new job, please consider working for me. Are you studying?” I shook my head. “I never got the chance,” I whispered, enough for Sky to hear. I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh, counting the lies I had said since yesterday night. He took a card from his pocket. “If you‘re up for it, I provide scholarships for students who want to earn a medical degree course.” He winked at me, causing me to smile. “Still, my mother can‘t afford this,” I swallowed hard, my hands trembling as I looked at his name on the card.
