"She'll be fine, please calm down" Raymond said to Daksha who was anxiously waiting for the doctor to come out.

"Dear Lord please protect my daughter from all evil eyes, a lot of things have been happening lately, is this perhaps a sign"

"Aunty what are you saying, we all know it was just a minor accident and none of it would've happened If this man here stayed in his lane" Derek said pointing to Raymond

"You couldn't control your anger and so you decided to hurt my daughter in the process and what are you doing now huh, why are you shifting the blame to him"

"Hey woman you should be scolding him and not me, do you have poor eyesight, can't you see who is at fault here" Derek snarled

"Watch it. You shouldn't speak to your mother-in-law in that manner" said Raymond

"You watch it, who do you think you are man huh, do you think that I won't hit you again, I'll most definitely..."

"Please be quiet, I've just sedated the patient, she'll be fine by the time she wakes up. Don't make a fuss here" the doctor interrupted

"And her face?" Raymond questioned

"Here use this ointment for the injury, hopefully it won't leave a scar" the doctor said handing a paper to Raymond and he immediately left to get the ointment

"Thank you doctor, can I see her now"

"Like I said earlier she's asleep but yes you can go in. Just you though." The doctor said to Daksha

"Thank you doctor" Daksha said and entered Into the room where Addy was currently asleep in

" My poor child, may the Lord keep you safe from every evil" she said as she touched her eyes and placed the black kohl eyeliner behind Addy's ear

***************************************

Addy woke up after sometime and asked to be discharged saying that she felt better.

   Derek had already left when she woke up and so Raymond drove them home.

"Thanks for the ride" she said to Raymond who was helping her out of the car

"Yeah just take care of your injury, no one would like you if you have a scar on your face, and make sure to use the ointment that the doctor prescribed"

"Thank you my son, may God bless you" Daksha said touching Raymond's head who bent down to touch her feet

"I have to go now, I have something important to do" he said

"Be safe my dear"

"Bye for now"

Raymond drove off after their exchange of byes

"Meera please pass me the jug" Addy said

Meera just finished setting the table while Addy sat down.

"I'm too young to be stressed out don't you think" Meera said with a pout

"Mum!!" Addy called out to her mother who was in the kitchen

" It's fine it's fine, I'll help you just because I'm good at heart, now please stop shouting" Meera said to Addy who was grinning like a child

"Meera are you bullying your elder sister, can't you see she's injured" Daksha said coming out of the kitchen

"Yes mum, I can see how injured she is" Meera said with an eye roll while Addy stuck out her tongue

They had started eating the food halfway when a phone rang

"No phones at the table girls" Daksha said stretching out her hands

"It's not mine" Meera said

"It's yours mum, you're the one who has such an awkward ringtone" Addy stated

"Oh right, that's true, it really is mine" Daksha said looking back and forth at the phone screen and her girls and then she sighed and said..

"Do as I say, not as I do" after saying that she answered her phone call, it was a video call from Manu

"Greetings dear mother, how are you doing, how have you been, you're looking pretty as always. Have you changed your skincare routine, I mean you're glowing" Manu's voice rang out of the phone

"Ohh my sweet child, I'm very well and I've been good just a little bit bored without my gossip girl, and yes I've changed my skincare routine, I mean I need to look hot for my kids don't I" Daksha said flipping her hair back and forth

"Mum you're so cute even at this age" Manu said

"Too sweet, might die from diabetes, my ears are bleeding mum, please end the call" Addy said

"Is that my favorite elder sister speaking, the one and only well known and renowned princess" Manu said

"Am I not the only elder sister you have" Addy said and rolled her eyes afterwards

"Mum please pass the phone to my sweet little angel" Manu said...
