Eyes Behold

26.Mike

The world stopped spinning as the poor soul threw herself on the comfy chair . A sigh of relief left her mouth as she reflected back to her overbusy schedule at the college and the hospital today . Due to an accident on the street next block , a total of six injured people were brought into the emergency room .

The whole place was in a chaos as extra rooms were being arranged and teams being set up to cater to every patient . Doctors were being called back on duty and all interns capable enough to handle the emergency were being sent into the Operation rooms.

Rose still being new wasn't allowed into the area. Instead she had to take care of patients from three of the doctors she had worked under till now. Dr. Karl, Dr.Ethan and Dr.Nicholas who were in-charge of gynaecology, cardiology and general surgery respectively .

She was constantly running from one floor to another checking all the vitals and re-filling the tubes wherever necessary . The fact that she was in-charge of the baby ward wasn't helping. The way the little angels were calling her with their round big eyes to come play with them especially Crystal wasn't helping one bit.

She had been spending a lot of time with the little girl whom Mary had finally named Sophie Crystal Amber , keeping the name crystal to remember this sweet girl who had become a friend and a close confidant over these days.

Rose had spent considerable time with Mary (the major reason being Crystal even when she loved that sweet lady too . )

Despite being homeless since she was thrown out of her house for being raped , she hadn't lost hope and tenderness to do good and be good in herself .

It didn't help much when she found out that she was pregnant with the child from that bastard and all her friends had failed to even recognise her after what happened to her . No one wanted to be associated with ' such a woman '.

Rose had felt a strong stab at her heart when she heard how they mistreated her . Even when she had confronted many such cases with uncle Ben, the cruelty still didn't fail to bitterly surprise her .

So she had decided to go for an apartment and a job hunt for Mary . She had gone far enough to offer taking care of Crystal while she was at it . Determination filled her tired eyes as she trodded her way out of the hospital. Mumbling an incoherent goodbye to Melini who just stood there amused as usual she headed to her baby , her new car.

She literally hugged it as much as her arms could allowed her to and climbed in quickly. Then taking a deep breath she purred her car to life reversing it out of the parking. She took a different route and started towards the lower yet safer parts of the city where she could find a decent yet affordable apartment for Mary.

Driving while humming to another Jordan favourite , ' The Journey To You' she took a turn towards the area she had at the back of her mind since she heard about it from Claire who was writing a report on these areas .

Her humming abruptly stopped as she glanced over to the area. It's poor state didn't faze her , she had seen worse , much worse. At least the houses had concrete walls and basic supply at particular hours . The places where she had been , people couldn't afford even this.

This however didn't justify the way they were being treated. But this wasn't the reason for her abrupt stop. She had expected this much seeing Mary's budget for now.

The fact that shook her to the core was seeing a man harass a small boy in front of what was supposedly their house. He had this broken wine bottle in his hands with which he could easily slice the little being into a bleeding mess. Not that he wasn't bleeding already. He had blood running down his arms as he tried to get away from the sick psycho. What fazed her even more was the fact that no one seemed to be coming out to help them .
