Moment with God (Book 2 of With God Trilogy)

XVIII

"Oh Lord. Who could help him?" I am nervously thinking about what to do next. "Don't make me leave him here like that."

"He will be safe." I knew it was God.

I heard a beeping sound of a nearby car. It must be someone on the road. I turned that direction and saw women come out of the car. I think one of the women looks familiar to me.

"Help me here, Linda." a woman exclaimed as she tried to pull Mr. Kelly out of the crashed car.

"Heavy." Linda helped to pull him out.

"Do you have bandages? His forehead is bleeding." another woman asked.

Becky, can you check if I have my first aid kit in the car?" the woman asked.

"Look at him. Bleeding. Gosh." Linda, I'm sure it's her who said that.

"Here, here." Becky pulled out a bandage as she wrapped it around Mr. Kelly's forehead. "There you go. But I need to put my hand his forehead to stop the bleeding."

After bandaging Mr. Kelly's head, they carried him to the car. He is still unconcious but we can here him murmur the pain. Becky and Linda carried the man to the backseat while the woman sat on the driver's seat.

"Where is the nearest hospital here, Linda?" the woman asked.

"I think it's somewhere at the end of where we are headed." Linda replied. "If I could remember it properly, it's eight blocks from here."

I sat beside Mr. Kelly in the backseat while Becky was on the other side putting pressure on his forehead. After a few minutes, we stopped at a hospital. The emergency team responded and placed Mr. Kelly to lie down.

"He is okay. We'll update you soon." the nurse closed the emergency room.

I stared at the woman who drove the car. I think she is someone I saw from school. My old school.

"Should we go now?" Linda asked.

"Wait. Let's stay here until he is back." the woman replied. "We can't leave him without seeing him fine."

"Do you like him, Olivia?" Becky asked.

Did I hear that right? Her name is Olivia. She is Mrs. Kelly!!

So this is how she met him.

Mrs. Kelly surprised. "What?! No!!"

"Becky, I think Olivia had seen her future man." Linda teased.

"Future man?! What are you saying Linda?!" Mrs. Kelly denied but I saw her face going red. "Is it not kind to help?"

"Of course, it is. What I'm saying is that you have some concern about this man." Linda said pointing to her rosy cheeks.

"Olivia, you are really blushing!" Becky teased. "I believe Linda now."

"Becky, no! I just.. uhm.. want to him to see who helped him. That's all!" Mrs. Kelly exclaimed.

Suddenly, a nurse came out. "Excuse me. Are you his friends?"

"No, she is the girlfriend." Linda teased.

"No, I'm not. I'm just uhm, yeah. A friend." Mrs. Kelly said.

"No, that man is this girl's crush." Becky teased.

Th nurse looked confused and a bit impatient. Becky noticed that.

"I'm sorry. Can we see him?" Becky asked.

"Yes." The nurse exhaled. "Go in."

We saw Mr. Kelly sitting on chair, talking to a doctor. He looked at us. He looked at Mrs. Kelly.

"Good morning. Are friends of Mr. Kelly?" the doctor asked.

"No, we saw his car crashed at the side of the road." Linda answered.

"Nice! So, you brought him here?" The doctor asked.

"Yes, doctor." Becky said.

"Yeah." Linda said.

"Okay. So, he is fine. He had a cut on his forehead but it was sewed already. Nothing anymore." the doctor told them looking at the stitches on Mr. Kelly's forehead.

"Thank you, doc." Olivia said.

"Alright. Thank you as well." the doctor stood. "Excuse me for a while."

It was an awkward moment. They had to look at each other, thinking who will say a word first until Mr. Kelly stood up.

"Thank you so much." He shook hands with Mrs. Kelly, Linda, and Becky.

They smiled.

"I'm sorry I need to go. But I'm in debt to you all." Mr. Kelly said in a rush to go. 

"Are you not going to ask our names?" Linda asked.

Mr. Kelly stopped and faced her. "What's your name?"

"Linda." Linda said as he shook her hand again.

"I'm Becky." Becky smiled as he shook her hand.

"And?" Mr. Kelly asked Mrs. Kelly.

"Olivia." She said in a sweet voice.

"Thank you, Olivia." He said as he held her hand with both his hands.

Linda and Becky saw the connection between the two and teased Mrs. Kelly as he walked outside. A car showed up and he went in the car.

"He looks like he is from a rich family." Linda said.

"No, I heard him calling his friend to fetch him." Mrs. Kelly whispered.

"Olivia, do you like him?" Becky asked.

"What?! Becky!" Olivia yelled as she saw Becky's serious face. "Are you serious?!"

"I saw him in dad's clinic once. I don't know if he is working there. I'll text you the address later." Becky explained smiling."If you go, then I think I know the answer."

"Becky, your dad is a veterinarian right?" Linda asked.

"Yes." Becky replied.

"Maybe he is one too." Linda teased as she shakes Mrs. Kelly's shoulders.

They got in the car. I got in as well.

There was silence in the car for minutes of driving until Mrs. Kelly stopped at the side.

"Why did you stop?" Becky asked.

"Is something wrong?" Linda asked.

"What's the address?" Mrs. Kelly asked.

We all laughed. "Ok, so everyone is asking now." I thought. "Who will answer? Do they want me to answer all of their questions?"

"Of course, not. I will not go there, Becky." Mrs. Kelly smiled as she started to drive again. "I'm just a good friend who helped."

Linda and Becky looked at each other and smiled.

Mrs. Kelly noticed. She said fluctuating from a low pitched voice to a high pitched voice, "What?" She laughed.
