18 family

"What school did you graduate from,if I may?"

Seriously,"No you may not,I don t see how my educational system a business of yours,doc."

"Oh of course It's not but the way you are talking makes me feel that you must be a doctor or at least a surgeon,am I wrong?"

Son of a... You think I would let your crappie hands touch my father,if that was true? Calm down kayla,this is no time to let your anger get the better of you "And you think if that were to be the case,I would let an uncertain doctor like you to touch my father? Please say something reasonable."

"Oh... Yes that s correct."

"I'm far from them right now doctoring,so I am going to beg you in health otherwise to please watch out for my family,most especially my father."

"We will try our possible best to make sure your father s gets back on his feet,so you don t have to be worried."

"Okay,I will trust your words. Please send me the number that I can send the money to."

"Oh,sure,I will do that."

"Alright I will be waiting and please my father should be attended to like right now."

"Yes,I will personally see to it that he is well taken of."

"Okay,thank you doctor. Please give the phone back to my mother."

"Sure," he gave the phone back to mother

For someone who doesn't have a dime to her name,I sounded like I own the world,Thank God for wisdom,I breathed out in relief dad was going to be alright,that s all that matter,then mother s voice came on the phone "kayla dear,what did you say to the doctor?" she asked but sounded a little relief

"What do you mean? Did something happen again?"

"Oh no dear,I don t really know what you talked with him but just now your fathers was being rolled into the emergency ward,they are going to attend to him now."

"Then it okay,everything will be fine now."

"I know that,dear,but the money... How did you..."

"Mother is okay,I have been saving for a while now,and I am glad I got to use it for dad,so the only thing for us to do now is praying for him to be fine,and I will continue to work hard,for you and dad to stop working on the farm."

"Oh! Thank you so much,honey,for thinking about us,while you should be thinking about yourself. But even at that,I want you to still take very good care of yourself,alright?"

"I will,mother,I will... oh,mother,do you still operate that account,dad uses for farm transfer?"

"Oh that? Yes,we do,but It's being a while since we last use it."

"Okay,does It still function?"

"Yes,your father made sure,it works fine even when we don t use it all the time."

"God bless that man. Send it for me later,so I can send little money for you to manage till dad comes out from the hospital,okay?"

"I will do that,dear. Thank you very much."

"It's fine mother,I live for my family. Anyway,I ve to go now; I will call you later to find out how the surgery went."

"Okay dear,bye."

I signed and stared at my phone,I wished I could teleport myself over there right now.

Where are those powers when you need them? The only regret I was having right now is that I won t be able to travel back home this Christmas,but It'still okay.

Being rich sure is great,if I didn't have any money with me,my father would have gone to the afterlife,I need to work harder,and I need to save more.

With that in mind,another week came,and I went out looking for more side jobs. After sending the money for the doctor,I was having two hundred and fifty dollars,left,so I sent it to mother,I later received a call from her that day that dad was out of the emergency room,and he was okay. Imagine the happiness I felt,of course I never told anybody about it,and I was glad I didn't.

Dad remained in the hospital for close to six months,while filora and Aiden returned to schooling,mother was left taking care of father,while I on the other hand,did several jobs to gather a lot of money.

I later called and spoke with father,with the way he sounded; I knew he was better,and thank God for that.

The next month dad was discharge,thanks to mom for keeping me updated,and after a lot of warning from the doctor and me,he decided to stay away from the farm or anything hard labor,I decided to not save up all the time but to always send money home,just in case they were in need,and I am glad I made the decision,because the following week our home was almost flooded away,with the money I send dad decided to work on the place.
