I felt like I lost my consciousness and was about to faint when I heard someone asking me, "Bella, what happened?"
As I turned behind, I saw mom.
Tears rolled down and I hugged her tight."But mom? You were..." I stopped and looked at that spot, where I saw mom after the accident.
But everything seemed normal. The same busy road with pedestrians and vehicles. Also there weren't any blood stains on the road, while I saw mom in a pool of blood sometime back."Mom, how did you get here? I mean, you were hit by a car, isn't it?" I asked.
Tim answered, "Bella, are you okay? Mom was at home when we left, right? Come out of your illusions and by the way, who's that old man you enquired about?"
"What the hell? Mom's accident was my illusion? No, it wasn't! I know", I told myself.
Mom hugged me and asked, "Bella, are you okay? My girl, you're stressed. You need to rest. Come let's go home."
"No! Not at all!" I exclaimed.
"I need to go to the Armond Street Hospital to see Uncle Jason", I told and rushed.
As I reached, I saw Uncle Jason on a stretcher, being taken to the ward.
I asked the doctor how he was."We just operated on him and his pulse seems good. So, no worries. He'll be fine soon", the doctor told.
I thanked god for saving my only helper friend!
After having waited till the evening, Uncle Jason opened his eyes.I felt very happy looking at him.
"How're you Uncle? Feeling good?" I asked."Yes, Bella. Thanks for coming to the hospital, to see this lonely abandoned old man", he answered.
"Uncle, you're not lonely! Nor you're abandoned. I'm always there for you and so is my family.
You need to tell me now, how're we related. Please!" I requested."Related? For what, sweetie? I didn't get you."
"Uh, please! Uncle, now put the truth before me. I know that we're somehow related by blood. Please tell me how. I saw you in my family album and you were very young then."
"Ah! I'm your Grandpa, Bella."
I was shocked and even confused. I knew both my maternal and paternal Grandpa's. Also, both have left this world. How's this possible?
"Bb... But how?" I asked.
"I'm your mom's dad."
I could link mom's words, 'I was adopted from an orphanage' then.
