Abel Scott, Back from the Dead.

CHAPTER NINE

Six hours later…

Abel Scott and Mrs Elena Lawrence are still waiting for the doctor's response in the other ward as the surgery proceeds.

“Abel, do you in any way know how we can be able to get access to this Mr Schmidt?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked as she stared at the clock on the wall.

“I'm really sorry Mrs Elena Lawrence, why would you assume that I would know of Mr Schmidt's whereabouts?”

“I really don't know anything about Mr Schmidt.”

“I know you don't, but what of Mr Jackson Alfred, the one who for God knows why lied to us that his Mr Thomas Wilson?”

“If you can at least talk to him and get him to maybe book an appointment with Mr Schmidt for us, that would be really great.”

“We need to find out who Mr Schmidt is and why he is helping Sarah Lawrence, my daughter.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she faked a smile towards Abel Scott.

“Mrs Elena, I don't think that would be a great idea, Mr Jackson Alfred is a very busy man, and I don't think he can even help us get across to Mr Schmidt even if he wanted to.”

“Abel Scott, just try calling Mr Jackson Alfred, let's not hastily jump into conclusions.”

“For all we know, Mr Jackson Alfred might still be of help to us, we never can tell if he would consider setting up the appointment with Mr Schmidt.” 

“Okay, I will try but we are not assured anything at this point.” Abel Scott said as he reassured Mrs Elena Lawrence.

“Mrs Elena and Mr Abel, we are done with the procedures, you can now see the patient.” Doctor Philip immediately announced from the door.

“Wow, so fast?”

“So how was it, can my daughter see now?” Mrs Elena Lawrence asked Doctor Philip, her voice was laced with a mix of exhilaration and determination.

“Why ask me, just go and see for yourself.” Doctor Philip said, smiling gleefully at her.

“Okay Doctor Philip.”

“Right this way ma'am.” One of the nurses immediately directed Mrs Elena Lawrence and Abel Scott to meet Sarah Lawrence.

Immediately they stepped into the ward, Sarah Lawrence gaze fell on Abel Scott.

“You! Have we meet before now?” She asked, her eyebrows furrowed in bewilderment.

“I really don't think so, I only got married to you after you were declared blind after the incident at the hospital.”

“I don't believe we have ever met before.” Abel Scott said slowly as he stared at Sarah Lawrence.

“You very familiar…”

“Yes, he is Abel Scott, your husband, he was the man who agreed to marry you after the accident that left you blind.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said as she hugged her daughter tightly.

“It's so great to finally have you back in one piece Sarah.” 

“Now you will no longer be a laughing stock for your grandmother, Lady Natasha and your foolish cousins, Lisa and Bianca.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said, still hugging Sarah.

“Abel Scott, thanks for choosing to stand by my side all this while, but I still believe that we might have seen each other once before the accident that took my eyes.” Sarah Lawrence said as she stared askance at Abel Scott.

“I don't think we have actually met before but I'm really glad that the surgical procedure was successful and you can now see.” Abel Scott said as he hugged her.

“Doctor Philip, thanks this was really a job well done, we really appreciate it.” Mrs Elena Lawrence said.

“No problems Mrs Elena Lawrence, just doing my job, the real thanks goes to Mr Schmidt.”

“He was the one who paid for the whole medical procedures.”

“Mrs Elena Lawrence, don't get offended, but I really want to know…”

“Who is Mr Schmidt to your daughter, Sarah?”

“Why is he helping her this much?” Doctor Philip asked, his face etched in curiosity and bewilderment.

Just as Mrs Elena Lawrence was about to reply, her phone rang immediately.

“Who is it, mom?” Sarah Lawrence asked from behind.

“It's your dad.”

“Hello, Zack…”

“Elena! Where are you guys?!” Mr Zack Lawrence asked, his voice was laced with fear and anxiety.

“The mansion is on fire!”
