Sold To Mr President

Xavier had carried the lady in his arms, that is awesome, he loves the manner in which the lady had slopped in his arms, it was awkward to think in that way.

Before he had the chance to open his mouth and say anything, there was a knock from behind and thewas e docto they had sent for. Immeditely, Xavjer was quick in dismissing the maids as he didn’t want or suffocate the lady. That wasn’t too important right now.

“You are welcome Dr. Richard, here is Ruby, and if you do not mind, I will like you to check on her, besides, her legs had sustained a terrible accident and she can’t walk,” Xavier explained.

Nodding his head, Dr. Richard spoke out loud as he walked in front.

“If you do not mind, I will check on her immediately,” he said ash he placed his bag that he had brought along with him.

Ruby on her part starting shedding fresh tears, she had very reason to cry because she hates doctors so much and In case Xavier doesn’t know it, It might turn out to be something very difficult to ha dle without crying. Swallowing very hard, the lady didn’t know what had come over her, she found out that the tears kept flowing out of her eyes none stop. Well she didn’t think that it was serious but indeed it was, more than what she can even think about.

“Come on, Rub, you shouldn’t cry, the doctor wouldn’t harm you and she is very friendly, okay? just let him check you out I swear that you will be alright,” Xavier said cooly.

Indeed, the manner in which he spoke was so kind, he made Ruby feel comfortable, and so far that is what that matters the most right now.

Dr. Richard walked towards Ruby, and as he approached the lady, Ruby thought it wise not to shed any tears. It wasn’t worth it at all and she knows about it. But then, what more can she even do when the fear in her was getting the best out of her, she wondered faintly. The doctor approached her and started investigating especially as he noticed the wound on her forehead.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Are you alright?” Dr. Richards asked.

It was a rhetorical question and a very stupid one for that matter especially when he saw the lady in pain, but he didn’t matter about that just yet, he needed her to answer, and of course, Ruby did respond to him.

“Unfortunately, I am not fine,” she muttered out.

That was a simple way of talking and as she lifted her head slightly, she met the doctor’s gaze. For a moment, she held jer breathe because the man was handsome. Well, he looked like a man in his fifties, but he was well built on the outside, he had laughing wrjnkles at the corners of his eyes, and he knew that the lady was shocked to see a handsome old man in front of her. It Is funny but he couldn’t laugh because he will look stupid. well, to Ruby, being treated by an aged doctor is a reason why she shouldn’t even complain about it.

The doctor had checked her wound, he and discovered it to be deeper than what he had expected and as he opened his eyes to glare at, he made a long sound that went down his throat.

At once, Ruby sensed that there was danger, and her heart wouldn’t stop beating until she knows what that is all about.

“What is it doctor, please don’t tell me I am going to die,” Ruby spat out.

It was now her turn to seem to have asked the most stupid question that seems to exist on earth, but all she wants now is just to make things work out better than what she wants now is just to make her heart be at ease.

“Nothing at all, just that… wait, where dod you have this wound?” Richard asked as he raised his brows.

For a moment, Ruby didn’t seem convinced to reply to the questions but when she Drifted her attention to Xavier’s own especially as he stood behind, she knew at once that the look on his eyes meant that he had to reply to her and with immediate effect.

“Ethan did this to me. He used my head and hit it on the corrugated bar of the bridge. But it is not his fault, I provoked him,” Ruby said.

She was being truthful but the last part only succeeded in making matters worse, like seriously, she didn’t want the man to get in trouble, but she had said it already, and no matter what she does, the man would be in trouble anyways because Xavier has had it in his store for one nigh already.

“I see, the wound is so deep and I will have to stitch it. Do not mind, it wouldn’t hurt you at all, okay?” Dr. Richard called out staring at the man in front of her.

That was awkward, and although light shivers passed through the lady’s body, she didn’t want to think about it yet, talk more of considering it. That would be a case that is just so impossible, and thinking about it might cause her a migraine.

Doctor Richard had sterilized his equipment, and had treated the wound with alcohol to shun It from bacterials. As if that is not enough, he was now sterilizing some tools in which he had to used for the stitching of the wound.

Filling the syringe with the anesthesia, Ruby’s heart melted almost immediately.

It was heart wrecking to check on these things, that was awkward and her heartbeat accelerated in a blink of an eye.

“I hate injections,” Ruby cried out.

She was damn serious about why she said and as she watched how the man approached her, she used this as an opportunity to burst out in tears.

Xavier who stood there the entire time so useless saw this as an opportunity to intervene. In a swift movement, he was sitting beside the lady, helping her out with his gentle words.

“I know that you are scared of injections, Ruby, but then if he doesn’t do it you mind find it being difficult for you, believe me, huh? anesthesia is to make your flesh not to feel the pain especially when the surgery is going on. Thus, you need to allow him to do his work,” Xavier muttered out.

He was being gentle, his words were soft, and as he left the man’s mouth, it was kind of bizarre but then, what more can he even do about this kind of a situation?

Ruby on her part felt a little assured from the words that the man had given her and now, she just wanted the doctor to do this thing so that she can do about it.

“Alright doctor, let’s get started so that I can be done with this, okay?” she called out nicely.

The heavy screams that felt Ruby’s room, one could hear and think that she was being slaughtered, well, that was not the case. She cried like her life was at risk, Ruby awoken the entire household as they were in shock, they barely knew what that was for, but then, what more can they even do other that asked unanswered questions.

Well, by now, the news that Xavier had brought an injured lady had now sprayed everywhere, thus it was no longer a secret, everyone knew about that one, and there is practically nothing she can do about it.

Dr. Richard had now finished to stitch the one, and had plastered it. Ruby cried because the pain was just so unbearable, ahe couldn’t even contain the pain, it was more than enough, and the more she cries she could barely even hear what the men in front of her were discussing about. As if that is not enough, the Doctor carried her bag and walked out of the door.

For moment, only Xavier and Ruby were left in the room, that was weird especially as no one was ready to start a discussion. Heaving a gentle sigh, the man decided to talk.

“Ruby, I am sorry that this wound is paining you so much, I think that you should rest okay? everything will be fine, believe me,” Xavier mouthed out as his aim was to assure Ruby of that.

In Ruby’s mind, she thought that she was about to die, episodes just flashed by her mind.

“You can leave then, I need to rest,” Ruby blurted out.

That problem was over now, Xavier didn’t feel like leaving but she felt like if she doesn’t go it might cause her a lot If problems, as a result, she decided to brush her mind around it.

As Xavier walked out of the room, he heard how Ruby cried behind the close doors. For a moment, he felt like going back there to comfort the lady, but on a second note, he couldn’t help but leave. That was just enough for now.

Ruby cried because this is a new phase of her life, one that she isn’t even ready to support it, and the she wept, all her mind just consumed her. After all what she had being through with Ethan, all what he could do to her as payback is just to sell her, Ruby hates the man’s guts, her life had being ruined in this manner just because of them, she can’t quote figure things out, but then, what more can she do about it especially when the man has gone this mad. There are things that she can’t clearly talk about no, although they don’t make a lot of sense, but then, if she has to ask several questions, who will even answer her?

At first, she was happy that the man had not actually done anything much on the par of going as far as killing her, because th Ethan she knows could kill her, it is obvious, but lucky enough for her, she had to be sold, and for what mean price was that? five thousand francs. That is just so humiliating, that is chicken change, some naked money that she doesn’t need it, in fact, it doesn’t quite mean a lot of things right now. The deed has being done and she has to leave with it that way.

Ruby’s head hurt so much, she didn’t quite know what to do in this situation, that was kind of awkward, but there isn’t much that she can do. The pain that consumed the lady had already gotten the best of her and she knew at once that the pain she felt on her head woulddn’t be leaving anytime soon.

“You are so stupid, Ruby, a while ago you were crying for Xavier to save you, here you are in his house now and there is nothing to show for. Well, you have a wound, and broken limbs, these should remind you of Ethan for the time being,” Ruby spat out to herself.

The moment she said these things, she felt like the world had now come over her, she felt like crying, of course, she had every reasons to cry and slowly, she felt how the liquid tickled down her cheeks. That was enough suffering from her part, even when the young man is not around, he has succeeded in hurting her emotions, not only physically, but also physiologically. She feels the pains, it always succeeds in getting the best out of her, and that is the worse part of if, everything around her is determined with fear, and it is controlled by the fact that Ethan might show up in her room and harm her. This is something she doesn’t want want it to happen, hell no! it might just cause something big that it might turn in to a disaster. At once, as she thought about these things, Ruby was startled when a call came through her phone.
