Episode 3
Alice woke up to find herself on the hospital bed. She recollected the incident that happened last night and how she came in front of the speeding car.
Doctor
You woke up. Do you feel any pain?
Alice Matthews
No, but can you tell me who brought me here?
Doctor
A gentleman named Ethan Luis brought you to the hospital last night.
Doctor
You were hurt on the head last night, and got a cut on the left side of the forehead. Do you feel any pain there?
Alice Matthews
Yeah, it is pounding hard and I kind of feel heavy in there.
Doctor
Do not worry, the pain in your head will go away in a few days as the wound heals.
Doctor
I need to ask you about your other injuries. When we examined, we found a lot of injuries, some fresh and some old injuries on your whole body. Can you tell us how you got those injuries?
Doctor
Looking at the type of injuries we suspect that you have been abused often.
We need to inform the police, so please tell us what happened.
Alice Matthews
Please don't call the police. Please don't call the police.
Alice was crying hard and pleading not to call the police
Doctor
But you have been in an accident, and it has to be reported to the police. If you don't tell us the truth then Mr. Ethan will be implicated in the abuse.
Alice Matthews
No, that man has nothing to do with it, he saved me and I will not implicate him.
Alice Matthews
My boyfriend is very abusive, and he is the reason for all these injuries. Yesterday, I tried to escape from that hell and ran like a maniac without noticing the speeding car. It is all my fault, it has nothing to do with that man.
Alice Matthews
Please don't call the police. My boyfriend will know about me if I go to the police.
Doctor
Ok, no problem. We will not inform the Police, but what will you do, where will you go?
Alice Matthews
(While crying)
I don't know. I have no one in this country. My relative is in London. I will go there after I gather enough money to travel.
Alice looked up at the doctor and asked him.
Alice Matthews
Doctor, can you please let me stay here in this hospital. I will work and pay back my hospital expenses. I can do any work, please doctor don't drive me out of this hospital. I have nowhere to go.
Ethan had just arrived at the hospital to visit Alice and heard all the conversation between her and the doctor. He felt bad for Alice, looking at her condition he thought to help her and went inside the room.
Ethan Luis
Hello Doctor. How is she?
Doctor
Her condition is stable, she can leave the hospital and come over after 4 days to remove the bandage.
But there is a problem, she has nowhere to go.
Ethan Luis
I heard everything Doctor, Can I talk to her in private?
Doctor
Yes sure. I will leave now.
Ethan Luis
(Looking at Alice)
How are you feeling?
Alice Matthews
I am fine Mr. Ethan Luis. Thank you for saving me and getting me treated.
Ethan Luis
No problem at all.
I have a job for you if you are Ok.
Alice Matthews
What kind of job Mr. Luis?
Ethan Luis
I have two sons, and they need a full time nanny.
Would you like to be a nanny to my sons?
Ethan Luis
I will pay you for your job, and you can also stay at my house; this way you can be safe and can't be found by your boyfriend.
Alice didn't even think and immediately nodded her head as Yes.
Alice Matthews
Yes Mr. Luis. Thanks you so much. I will do my best.
Ethan Luis
Ok, rest well. I will come and pick you in the evening.
Alice Matthews
Ok. Thanks again.
Ethan left the hospital to his office.
After Ethan left, Alice laid back on the bed and was thinking of her bitter past.
Tears were dropping from her eyes uncontrollably.
Why is life testing me like this?
What sin have I done ?
When will I be free from all these problems ?
