EPISODE 16. MY NAME IS JASAMINA.

JASAMINA

"Yes. I will go with you." The drunkard said, even though he looked like it was against his better judgement.

My lower lips trembled and I know I'm on the verge of tears. "Thanks so much, thank you." I whispered, sincerely.

Suddenly, I feel like a thousand of weight have been lifted from my shoulders.

"It's alright, Lady. You and the baby can't go on for this few days without some care. You're not on the strongest of health and baby needs care too. You have to be able to stay strong to avoid anything you've been avoiding before."

His words were like a healing balm to my battered soul. This man...this drunkard...I don't even know is doing everything to help me survive.

Tears escaped my eyes. "Thank you so much." I whispered helplessly.

"I think the baby is done feeding. Time for drugs." He groaned.

I followed his eyes to see my bare nipple hanging out and the sleeping Jaimie's mouth several air breaths away.
