SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Rafael:

-Well… uh, uh, uh, yes, if they are cousins, because I’m going to marry their mom! -I answered without being able to explain more, since I assured Estefania that I would wait for Sofia to talk about this with my triplets.

So, between question and answer, walk and tour seeing the new horses ready for sale and their transfer to the east, part of the day went by and I totally distracted the children. For this reason, I spent very little time with Sofia.

As the sun was setting again and the starlight was rising with a huge moon, I went out to the terrace at the top of the house, where I ordered dinner to be served to everyone.

Not knowing what to do to help Sofia overcome this situation, I decided to call again the group leader, who had been in charge of the doctor. He informed me at noon that they had begun the investigations related to what he had stated, and that he would have more news for me in the evening.

During the day, everyone left Sofia alone to rest, as they knew it was better not to force anything. However, I made a decision, I will devote myself to her body and soul, because she no longer rejects me and relies on me. Because of this, I spoke to my assistant in the afternoon, so that she would take care of all my affairs.

When I called the group leader by cell phone, he informed me that the Commissioner had returned to the Island, because that was his commitment. When Sofia appeared, he had to return to continue and close the investigations there.

-Chief, it was easily proven that everything the doctor said was true,” he assured me, after I greeted him, “They know him at the rural health center. He works there and the statements of the doctor who gave him the support, coincided with those given by him -he clarified.

In view of this, I asked to speak to the doctor immediately, before he was released.

-Yes? -answered the doctor.

-I am Rafael Corner, Sofia’s boyfriend,” I clarified.

-Hello? -he said, seemingly calmer.

-Sofia didn’t recognize Estefania, her best friend or her children, what can I do? -I asked, without apologizing to him.

-From the last studies I did on her, I discovered that the concussion she was suffering from was mild,” the doctor declared.

“Consequently, with rest, both physical and mental, she will be able to recover her normal state, I presume that her amnesia is transitory.

-What does this physical and mental rest cover? -I asked, concerned for her.

-Limitations to activities that require thinking and mental concentration. Because of that, she was able to remember that her name was Sofia and I deduce that as a consequence of the same, she remembered her mother’s name, even though she did not identify her,” he said.

-Should I isolate her? -I asked.

-No! Complete rest, her lying down in a dark room and avoiding any kind of stimulation is not recommended,” said the doctor.

Don’t allow her to play video games, watch television, read, use the computer, in short, anything that requires high mental concentration,” he suggested, “It would be a good idea to have her undergo constant check-ups with a neurologist.

-Would you be willing to come to my farm to examine her when it’s her turn? -I suggested.

“I need to submit her to some treatment, while I look for the best one,” I thought.

-It is difficult for me, because I am the head of the Neurology Unit of the Rural Center, which is near the place where you found me. Besides, I have my patients in a private clinic and the little free time I have, I dedicate to my mother, who also suffers from a very upsetting disease.

-So, when can I take her to you for examination? -I asked, almost begging.

-Next week! -He replied, without hesitation, “call my number and let me know you’re coming. By the way, do you know when they will let me go? -he asked.

-You must be free by now, otherwise they wouldn’t have let you talk to me,” I affirmed, “Could you recommend the allowed physical activities? And I’m sorry, but I’m very worried about the situation Sofia is going through!

-She can begin light exercise, however, she should avoid any activity that has a high risk of exposure to another impact to the head until she fully recovers.

-Walking, swimming? -I consulted.

-Yes, without excess or exertion. I am in favor of not riding a horse, for the time being, because of the danger of a fall and hitting his head again.

“As symptoms improve, you can progressively incorporate more activities. Also, those that involve thinking or reasoning. Also increase the time you spend on your chores. When we meet next week, I will give you these recommendations in writing.

“Once, all signs and symptoms of concussion have resolved, you can safely return to sports. Resuming sports too soon increases the risk of another brain injury.

-What if I have a headache or other discomfort, what do I do?

-For headaches, avoid painkillers such as ibuprofen, advil, motrin, aspirin, because they can increase the risk of bleeding,” he finally stated.

-Thank you, Dr. Soto! Instead of thanking you for your valuable help, I confronted you, without measuring the consequences I was desperate, because Sofia did not show up! -I added, “Could you please pass me your cell phone number?

-I understand you! And if I already send you a message, please excuse the cut she has! Check the scar on her head, it had to be shaved to stitch it up, it was a big wound, apparently she was hit with an iron or something like that.

“Unfortunately, the nurse I hired to take care of her, and who I asked to even out her hair, couldn’t think of a better method than shaving her head.

-That’s precisely why her children don’t recognize her and have doubts about it. Well, now I leave you because we are going to celebrate this family reunion,” I said, saying goodbye until next week, “Thanks again! -and I said goodbye.

When I hung up the call, behind me, there was Aunt Anastasia, waiting to talk to me….Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

-Son, it’s your sister,” she said, handing me her cell phone.

I quickly answered, worried that with Sofia, I had forgotten about my mother’s health.

-Yes, Diana? What happened with mom? -I asked worriedly.

-She’s so anxious for me to take her to the hacienda,” she said.

-That’s fine! I’ll set up the farm to take care of both Sofia and mom, without them meeting,” I assured her.

-That’s not all, she insists that Mirelys accompany her. She is, she offered to keep him company for once, well, the only thing she knows how to do?

-I will not allow that, nor will I accept it. She doesn’t set foot on my estate anymore,” he growled angrily, “If so, let her stay at the mansion and that’s it. Now, sis, I’m leaving you because I’m going to have dinner with my wife and triplets.

-What? -shouted my sister in astonishment…
