Donna said, âYou seem to be in a hurry. You donât have to help me if you canât.â âItâs alright. I can take you to the hospital,â said Josephine quickly.
âMy head hurts. I might faint if I donât get any medical attention,â said Donna. âMy carâs in the parking lot. Iâll take you to the hospital. Josephine put everything aside and took the lady to the hospital.
Donna looked at her. She seems genuine. That kind of kindness cannot be faked. She got into Josephineâs car, and Josephine drove away. âHow may I address you? Where do you live? You might want to call your family, madamâ¦â
âFinch. Yes, Iâve called my family. Just take me to the hospital.â Josephineâs phone rang, and it was connected to the car. Donna noticed that the call was from her son, and Josephine took the call. âHey, Ethan.â
âWhere are you?â Ethan was waiting in the corridor. He wanted to go to his office with Josephine.
âSorry, but I need to deal with something. Can you give me fifteen minutes?â
âYouâre driving? Where to?â Ethan noticed the hum of a car engine. âA lady needs to be taken to the hospital, but Iâll be quick. Tell your mother Iâll be there soon.â
âSure. Iâll explain it to my mom,â said Ethan. âIâll make it back ASAP.â Josephine hung up. Donna looked at Josephine, and she thought a lot better of this girl now.
Ethan went back into his office only to notice that his mother was missing, much to his confusion. Is she in the bathroom? Or did she go around? I should look for her.
Josephine was stuck in traffic, much to her chagrin. She looked a little panicked. âSorry for wasting your time, miss.â âItâs alright. Nothing important, so donât worry. Weâll be there soon,â said Josephine.
âAh, Iâm alright. Was that your boyfriend?â A hint of love appeared in Josephineâs eyes, and she nodded. âYep.â
Donna paused for a moment. Josephine answered without hesitation, and her eyes were filled with happiness. Genuine happiness. Donna could see that she wasnât putting on an act, nor did Josephine realize the woman she was talking to was Ethanâs mother. âDo you love him?â
âYes, I do,â Josephine said without hesitation. And then, seemingly reminded of something, Donna said, âOh no. My bagâs at your company, and I donât have my phone. Can you take me back, miss?â
Josephine was a little surprised, but she didnât lose patience or get upset, so she nodded. âSure. I can turn around just ahead. Shouldnât take more than twenty minutes.â Josephine turned back, and Donna was keeping a close eye on her. Josephine was getting nervous, but she decided she would take this lady to the hospital before she would see Ethanâs mother.
And then a pedestrian decided to flout all traffic laws and crossed the road. Josephine slammed on the brakes and waited for the pedestrian to cross. Most people wouldâve started cursing, but Josephine waited for the pedestrian to cross.
Ten minutes later, she came back to the building, and Ethan searched the whole place. He was at the entrance and about to call his mother when he saw Josephineâs car coming into the picture, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Josephineâs back.
