Chapter 681: Conscience Had Prevailed
At Yang Globals Hospital
"You can leave now, I don't need you to keep a watch over , please. Thank you for your ti," Harry said politely. He received no response. It was almost ten in the evening, but the woman who had introduced herself as 'Kimmy', was still here when he woke up. She was sitting beside his bed was playing gas on her mobile phone.
She arrived an hour after his father left, saying she would assist him with his needs. He had not been in the mood to even answer her when she had introduced herself.
"Shi*t! I died!" he heard a burst from her. It was annoying.
"Excuse ?!" Harry asked irritably, thinking the woman had just cursed at him, but again there was no response.
Kimmy suddenly looked over at Harry and her eyes widened when she saw his gloomy face directed at her. She imdiately removed the transparent earbuds from her ear and said, "I'm sorry, Sir. Were you saying sothing?"
She had thought Harry was asleep but she slapped her mouth as she realized she must have woken him with her sudden outburst when she lost at the ga she was playing.
"I'm sorry, Sir. Did I wake you up? Was I too loud?" Kimmy whispered.
Harry answered her with a sigh before repeating the words he said a while ago.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Sir, but my Boss has instructed not to leave your side at all, except when I? need to use the restroom," Kimmy said with a smile. Her Boss Kenzie had reiterated several tis that Kimmy was not to let Harry out of her sight at all.
"Please… Just leave. I want to be alone. No one would find out about your leaving" Harry begged.
Kimmy sighed as well and said, "Sir, please try and understand, okay. I need to follow my Boss's orders so I don't lose my job. So can you please help out, huh? My work is at stake here. Boss told that she will fire if I fail to do this simple job efficiently.
I know you don't care because you don't know , but can you please spare a bit of your consideration? Just treat as if I am invisible, okay? You won't even feel my presence, so you can do whatever you want."
Harry felt his head spinning. He wanted to be alone and cry and he was uncomfortable having soone inside his room. He had just lost his mother. Even though for others his mother had been a monster who deserved what she got, she had been his mother, the one who had always made sure he was safe. A mother who did not fail to shower him with her love and care.
Kimmy knew the whole story. She knew that this man Harry wanted so ti alone, but? Daryl's father was worried that Harry would do sothing to endanger his life. So he had requested a 24/7 watch to be kept over Harry until the psychiatrist could confirm that he was ntally stable.
"I will put on so music, Sir, and sit on the couch instead. I won't be able to hear you if you call for , so throw this at ? if you need ." Kimmy instructed and pulled a small ball from her pocket that she loved squeezing.
Harry did not answer but Kimmy took his silence as assent, so she put back the headset on her ears and then walked to the couch and sat there instead. The couch was at least four ters away from Harry's bed.
After a few minutes, Kimmy heard a loud cry but she did not move and continued to play on her mobile phone. She had a headset on but she was not playing any music because she knew she had to stay alert.
Harry's area was also free from anything he could use to harm himself. She could also see any unusual movents through the screen of her mobile phone though she was seated with her back to him.
She felt weird since she had never heard a grown man cry loudly before. She could feel the pain and loss in his sobs and she wanted to offer her shoulder to cry on but that might be awkward as they did not know each other.
"Mom!!! Why did you do that! Why leave like that!" she heard Harry sobbed.
After so ti the sobbing stopped and Kimmy felt the ball hit her on her face.
'Damn! Did he just throw it to my face?' she complained to herself and picked up the ball from the floor. She removed her earbuds and forced a smile on her face as she asked, "Sir, Do you need sothing?"
She sat comfortably on the chair beside him as she waited for his answer.
"Sleeping on the couch will be uncomfortable, so just go ho," she heard him say.
"I really can't. I need to watch over you, Sir, so I'm not allowed to sleep. They are afraid you might do sothing stupid like taking your own life" she bluntly stated.
"What?!" Harry burst out.
"They are, Sir. So I'm here to make sure you are perfectly fine," Kimmy added with a wink.
Harry no longer debated with her. He just lay on the bed and closed his eyes to try and sleep.
Kimmy, on the other hand, went back to the couch and this ti she lay down on the couch in a position where she could keep an eye on Harry.
Boss Daryl's stepbrother was very good-looking. Too bad he had a twisted mind but she had heard from her Boss that Harry had saved her life when his conscience had prevailed.
She wondered what would happen now. Karen had died but Harry was still an accomplice to the cri and he would for sure stand trial if her Boss's Daryl and Kenzie decide to file a case. Kimmy yawned. She felt exhausted but she must keep herself awake. She grabbed her mobile phone again to play and brush her sleepiness away.
