Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

The helicopter was right in front of Sherry’s house. She was bewildered , but even bewilderment was not the term to properly explain her expression.

” What’s going on? ”

She didn’t ask anybody but wondered aloud.

There were nurses and paramedics getting down from the chopper. They were getting a stretcher out and also carrying their medical equipment boxes along towards Sherry’s door.

” Just open the door and let them do their job girl!”

Ryan dragged Sherry till her doorstep, let go of her hands and then commanded her.

She did so obediently but with hesitation, looking constantly over her back towards the people who were waiting.

Ryan pulled her away from the door once again as the people hurriedly went inside beside her father.

There was no doubt that they had come for him.

Sherry watched as they ran their examinations.

After a few long minutes, one of them walked Ryan and said,

” His condition is very unstable. Are you sure he had no caregiver or help before? It’s a miracle he survived in such a condition. How long has he been like this? ”

Ryan turned towards Sherry and urged her to answer with his eyes.

” He was diagnosed with dementia initially. Over the years his BPSD symptoms accelerated tremendously. In the last couple of years, they also diagnosed him with tuberculosis. His situation is getting worse day by day. They even asked me to get him checked for cancer. I didn’t do it out of fear. I was barely able to afford all his ongoing treatments. If he really was diagnosed with cancer there was no way they would let me bring him back from the hospital. ”

She was very teary eyed when Ryan went to stand right beside her in such a way that his hands brushed her hands. There was no way of knowing if that was intentional.

” Well, I gather there is no point in you and your team dilly dallying here anymore. Is there? You got the history, you got your patient. Now off you go with him on your way. ”

The one asking Sherry the question bowed and said, ” Yes sir. ” before hurrying away.

As the paramedics started strapping Sherry’s father down on their stretcher, Sherry came back to her senses.

” What’s happening? Where are they taking him? ”

She turned fiercely towards Ryan.

” Where do you think? The movie hall? Of course to the hospital. ”

” Which one? Why? How can they do it without asking for my permission? ”

Ryan looked absolutely cool in a stark contrast to Sherry’s perplexed face.

” To the best one on these lands, Westron.

Why? Because he needed that.

And as for the permission, I authorized them. So asking for yours’ was out of the context. You, belonging to me, automatically makes me eligible for authority. Legally.

Any other questions that you need to ask? ”

He folded his arms over his chest as he leaned over a wall.

Sherry looked disgusted.

” You decided to shift my father somewhere without even asking me? Is that even humane? ”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He gazed right in her eyes and said,

” Did I forget the part where I mentioned that I am not human? Humanity does not apply to my kind. Sorry if it slipped my mind earlier. Think of me as a beast if this puzzles you. Apply laws of the jungle when referring to my disposals. The human world is just a facade that I used to mask my true existence. Get this sorted and straight, right now to avoid any uncomfortable situations in the future.

Besides, your father staying in this shame of a house was causing me financial damage. It was distracting your attention. Demanding your time. That was definitely a loss statement so I got it out of your mind. Now the hospital will be in total charge of him as you serve me with dignity. ”

Sherry kept staring at him as she failed to understand how putting her father in hospital and bearing that expense was more profitable for him?

What service could she provide to compensate for the gigantic hospital bills that ran into millions for such terminal patients.

She kept staring at him over and over again trying to see that angel, hiding behind the animal hide that he was wearing.

Sherry saw the paramedics inject her father with injections that put him to instant sleep. Then they buckled him up in a bag that they put on the stretcher. She kissed his hands and forehead before carrying him inside the waiting chopper.

The pilot got the signal from his passengers and then the blades started rotating with full thrust.

A gust of wind swept over them as everyone closed their eyes.

The chopper was already a foot above the ground when Ryan opened his eyes.

He saw Sherry dangling from the chopper edge.

” Please take care of my father. He is like a baby. He has never been away from me. He is my only family. Please do not beat him up like you do with some patients. You can tie him up if he is being difficult or return him to me. Please… ”

She was going on and on as the paramedics were reassuring her that nothing of the sort would happen and that they would look after him to their best ability. They were urging her to let go of the chopper and get on the ground but she wasn’t listening.

Ryan shook his head at the sight, apparently dejected.

He leaped beside Sherry in an instant, pulled her hands off and then made their way back on the surface.

” I knew you were stupid and crazy but I didn’t know to this extent. Did you have a death wish? Did you want to die? ”

Sherry stood up. Dusted herself. Looked at him and said,

” What if I did? Are you worried that you might incur a loss with my death? ”

She turned towards his car and then walked straight. She pulled the door that was already open and got herself inside.
