The Law of Attraction

Chapter 681: Conscience Had Prevailed

At Yang Globals Hospital

"You can leave now, I don\'t need you to keep a watch over me, please. Thank you for your time," Harry said politely. He received no response. It was almost ten in the evening, but the woman who had introduced herself as \'Kimmy\', was still here when he woke up. She was sitting beside his bed was playing games on her mobile phone.

She arrived an hour after his father left, saying she would assist him with his needs. He had not been in the mood to even answer her when she had introduced herself.

"Shi*t! I died!" he heard a burst from her. It was annoying.

"Excuse me?!" Harry asked irritably, thinking the woman had just cursed at him, but again there was no response.

Kimmy suddenly looked over at Harry and her eyes widened when she saw his gloomy face directed at her. She immediately removed the transparent earbuds from her ear and said, "I\'m sorry, Sir. Were you saying something?"

She had thought Harry was asleep but she slapped her mouth as she realized she must have woken him with her sudden outburst when she lost at the game she was playing.

"I\'m sorry, Sir. Did I wake you up? Was I too loud?" Kimmy whispered.

Harry answered her with a sigh before repeating the words he said a while ago.

"Oh, I\'m sorry, Sir, but my Boss has instructed me not to leave your side at all, except when I? need to use the restroom," Kimmy said with a smile. Her Boss Kenzie had reiterated several times that Kimmy was not to let Harry out of her sight at all.

"Please… Just leave. I want to be alone. No one would find out about your leaving" Harry begged.

Kimmy sighed as well and said, "Sir, please try and understand, okay. I need to follow my Boss\'s orders so I don\'t lose my job. So can you please help me out, huh? My work is at stake here. Boss told me that she will fire me if I fail to do this simple job efficiently.

I know you don\'t care because you don\'t know me, but can you please spare me a bit of your consideration? Just treat me as if I am invisible, okay? You won\'t even feel my presence, so you can do whatever you want."

Harry felt his head spinning. He wanted to be alone and cry and he was uncomfortable having someone inside his room. He had just lost his mother. Even though for others his mother had been a monster who deserved what she got, she had been his mother, the one who had always made sure he was safe. A mother who did not fail to shower him with her love and care.

Kimmy knew the whole story. She knew that this man Harry wanted some time alone, but? Daryl\'s father was worried that Harry would do something to endanger his life. So he had requested a 24/7 watch to be kept over Harry until the psychiatrist could confirm that he was mentally stable.

"I will put on some music, Sir, and sit on the couch instead. I won\'t be able to hear you if you call for me, so throw this at me? if you need me." Kimmy instructed and pulled a small ball from her pocket that she loved squeezing.

Harry did not answer but Kimmy took his silence as assent, so she put back the headset on her ears and then walked to the couch and sat there instead. The couch was at least four meters away from Harry\'s bed.

After a few minutes, Kimmy heard a loud cry but she did not move and continued to play on her mobile phone. She had a headset on but she was not playing any music because she knew she had to stay alert.

Harry\'s area was also free from anything he could use to harm himself. She could also see any unusual movements through the screen of her mobile phone though she was seated with her back to him.

She felt weird since she had never heard a grown man cry loudly before. She could feel the pain and loss in his sobs and she wanted to offer her shoulder to cry on but that might be awkward as they did not know each other.

"Mom!!! Why did you do that! Why leave me like that!" she heard Harry sobbed.

After some time the sobbing stopped and Kimmy felt the ball hit her on her face.

\'Damn! Did he just throw it to my face?\' she complained to herself and picked up the ball from the floor. She removed her earbuds and forced a smile on her face as she asked, "Sir, Do you need something?"

She sat comfortably on the chair beside him as she waited for his answer.

"Sleeping on the couch will be uncomfortable, so just go home," she heard him say.

"I really can\'t. I need to watch over you, Sir, so I\'m not allowed to sleep. They are afraid you might do something stupid like taking your own life" she bluntly stated.

"What?!" Harry burst out.

"They are, Sir. So I\'m here to make sure you are perfectly fine," Kimmy added with a wink.

Harry no longer debated with her. He just lay on the bed and closed his eyes to try and sleep.

Kimmy, on the other hand, went back to the couch and this time she lay down on the couch in a position where she could keep an eye on Harry.

Boss Daryl\'s stepbrother was very good-looking. Too bad he had a twisted mind but she had heard from her Boss that Harry had saved her life when his conscience had prevailed.

She wondered what would happen now. Karen had died but Harry was still an accomplice to the crime and he would for sure stand trial if her Boss\'s Daryl and Kenzie decide to file a case. Kimmy yawned. She felt exhausted but she must keep herself awake. She grabbed her mobile phone again to play and brush her sleepiness away.
