Chapter 165: off the hook

“How are you feeling now then my dear? Esmee asked gently lifting my chin up so she could look me in the eye “I hope you didn’t mind my acting their Mi but I could see the paramedic was eager to get you to the hospital and I didn’t think you wanted to do that and there is only one person a paramedic won’t argue with and that’s mum; mum always knows best.”

 “You can be my mum, my dad or my spiritual advisor for all I care, as long as you get me off the hook about going back to that Emergency department again.” I said shuddering at the thought.

 “That is only because I knew you didn’t need to go there. It is surprising what the great outdoors can do to people when they have been locked up for so long, most react in some way and puking or fainting seems to be the two favorites.” Esmee said holding onto my shoulders to stop me swaying on the spot; in all the commotion of sickness and paramedics I had apparently lost my center of gravity. “Saying that, it looks like you could faint at any second,” Esmee observed holding onto me tighter as I overbalanced forwards but caught myself again before I headed down to meet the floor.“I think we should probably head off somewhere quiet for a while and get you something to drink before we do anything else or you may very well land up in the back of Suzan’s ambulance.
