2026-10-27 23:59:46ADRIAN'S POINT OF VIEW
The pain in my leg was unbearable. I lay on the hospital bed while a nurse checked my blood pressure and another medical worker prepared the documents from my examination. My clothes had been changed, and my injured leg had been examined carefully. Every movement reminded me of the accident at the construction site. I stared at the ceiling, trying to calm myself. How had everything gone wrong so quickly?

ADRIAN'S POINT OF VIEW — LATER THAT MORNINGI was still lying in the hospital bed when I heard voices outside the room.I had cried until I was exhausted, and now I was staring at the ceiling, trying to gather my thoughts.My leg hurt.My body hurt.And my heart felt as though it had been crushed.I kept remembering Vanessa's face when she told me she no longer wanted me.I kept remembering how she had poured the drink over me and allowed the guards to drag me away.I couldn't understand how someone I loved so deeply could treat me that way.A knock sounded at the door.I turned my head.The doctor entered, followed by an older man and another man in a dark suit.The older man looked directly at me.I didn't recognize him.He stepped closer to the bed, studying my face with an expression I couldn't understand.The doctor spoke first."Adrian, this is Mr. Richard Blackwood.

"I'll ask the hospital staff for his information."I nodded.Then another thought crossed my mind."Did the doctor say anything else about him?"Michael seemed to remember something."He said the young man was called Adrian."I went still."Adrian?""Yes, sir."I repeated the name quietly.For years, I had lived with the pain of losing my daughter and the uncertainty surrounding the child she had left behind.My daughter had been my only child.When she died, a part of my world had died with her.Her son had disappeared, and despite everything I had done to find him, I had never received the answers I needed.I had spent years wondering whether he was alive, whether he had grown up safely, and whether he had ever known anything about his family.Now I was lying in a hospital bed, hearing that a young man named Adrian had saved my life.I didn't want to jump to conclusions.A name alone meant nothing.Still, I fe

"We're assessing your injuries. A passerby found you unconscious and brought you here." I looked around the room. "Who was the person ?" "We don't know his name. He explained that he found you collapsed near the road and brought you in for treatment." I tried to sit up, but the doctor raised his hand. "Please, don't move too quickly. You have injuries that need careful assessment." I lay back. Then I suddenly remembered the shopping bags. "The bag!" The doctor frowned. "What bag?" "The things I was carrying. There was a handbag, a dress, and a cake. Where are they?"

I came to thank you."I tried to sit up a little, but the doctor immediately reminded me to remain comfortable.Richard moved closer."Please, don't get up. I only wanted to see you and thank you personally for what you did for me."I looked at him."I'm glad you're feeling better, sir."He studied me quietly."I was told that you paid for my treatme

She turned her face away. The guards dragged me toward the exit. My injured leg struck against something as they moved me, and pain shot through it. I cried out. "Please! My leg!" "Keep moving," one of them ordered. I tried to explain again, but they refused to listen. When we reached the outside area, they pushed me away from the entrance. I stumbled and nearly fell. "Please, just let me go home," I begged. One of the guards shoved me again. I lost my balance and fell against the ground. Before I could recover, they began striking me. I tried to protect myself as best I could, but my in
