Mark's POV:
By looking at Anna's mother's pleasant face, I wish I want her to be get well soon. She looks very innocent like Anna. Anna told me about her mother when she is telling about her dark memory in her past; I still remember how her mother takes hardships to sustain her child in a good position.
She always strives for Anna's well-being and gets ready to sacrifice her own life to save her beloved child when John is attacking her...
She is the perfect example for a mother…
I don't want her to lose her life…
I want her again back to her life to lead a happy life of successful women, and I am sure by looking at her mother, Anna will definitely feel happy.
Just because of Mona's treatment, both Anna's mother and Rubeus uncle are alive right now, so I didn't hesitate to say thanks to Mona for her lovable contribution through treatment...
Mark: Thank you, Mona, you really give an overwhelming treatment and helps both of them to recover soon...
(Mona immediately looked at me with her smiling face...)
Mark: What happened?
Mona: You know, Mark, you look weird when you praise me..!
(I immediately tap on her head, and we both laughed to each other.)
Mona: But you no need to say thanks to me because at this moment Rubeus uncle is still taking the breath is all because of you...
Because of you, he is fighting with his life to live...
Mark: because of me?
Mona: Yes, Mark, there are two reasons for that...
One is just before this bad incident you accepted uncle by throwing away your ego, and he is very happy, and he doesn't want to die soon, your concern towards him gives him a hope to live...
And secondly, your contribution towards these medical equipments...
Mark: Medical equipments?
(Mons looked at me with a brief smile on her face.)
Mona: Yes, Mark, do you remember you paid a huge amount of money to save Anna's mother at any cost?
(I nod my head as Yes.)
Mona: With that money I bought all these high end medical equipments and arranged in this room for Anna's mother because we can't predict how's critical is her health condition...
So I bought all of them and arranged in this room for the safety of Anna's mother but I didn't use them yet on her because she is recovering day by day, and those equipments helped to save Rubeus uncle...
So I give all credits to you for saving Rubeus uncle and Anna's mother...
Mark: No, Mona...
I just helped with money and that what I can do, but without your help, I can't do anything with my money...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMona: That's true; both are interlinked, so we both can take the credits.
Mark: Anna's mother looks so young, right?
Mona: Yes, Mark, probably she is 38 years old...
Mark: How a 38 years women had a 19-year-old daughter?
(Mona immediately laughed at me.)
Mona: Maybe she got early marriage like Anna...
Mark: what?
Like Anna?
Anna didn't get married yet...
Mona: But soon she will...
Mark: If we get married soon, we will wait for kids till Anna is done with her education...
Mona: That's a great idea, Mark, it would help if you let Anna to reach her goals first...
Mark: ok, let's go to Anna, she might be looking for us...
Mona: Wait..!
I want to tell you one more thing...
Mark: What it is?
Mona: I don't know whether to say this to you or not, but we may get some clarity on Anna's stepfather, Lucas...
Mark: What happened, Mona..?
Why are you hesitating to say?
Mona: Because it's about Anna's mother privacy thing...
Mark: Tell me clearly, Mona...
(Mona took a deep breath and looked at me to explain.)
Mona: Tom already told you that I am back checking about Ria's case, and I gone through more detail into the postmortem report, and there is a clear description of nail marks on Ria's body, and I found the same marks on Anna's mother...
(My mind was blank the moment I heard to Mona and asked her again clearly.)
Mark: what do you mean, Mona?
Mona: Mark, when I am doing her treatment on the first day, I didn't observe her body clearly, but when I am analyzing Ria's report, I got clarity that the one who attacked Ria are perverts...
And we all suspected that Anna's stepfather, Lucus, maybe one of the 5th culprit...
So I got an idea to check Anna's mother's body because if he is really a pervert, he may definitely treat Anna's mother in such a harsh way...
So yesterday, I checked her body, and I found the similar marks on her body, which tallies with one of the culprits with Ria's case...
Mark: So we got a proof that Anna's stepfather is one of the culprits...
Mona: It's not an authorized proof, Mark...
It's a clue for us to get clarity on this case...
We should not pull Anna's mother into this mess for no reason without her permission...
Mark: I don't pull her into this crap, Mona, but I got a chance to prove to Anna about her dad...
But let's see, if aunty got consciousness soon, she would definitely help us about Ria's case, and she might know who is 5th culprit...
Anna: Yes, Mark, That's the reason I told it to you about her private marks to you...
Please don't discuss this with any others...
Mark: Yes, Mona, I have ten friends to discuss this matter...
(I stated in a teasing way.)
Mark: You know I don't have any friends to share except you and Tom...
To whom will I share?
Mona: Don't take it in another way, Mark..!
I feel guilty to say about her private marks without her permission.
Mark: It's a necessity to know about it, Mona...
See, we got clarity that Anna's father is sure the 5th culprit and she is like my mother, and I don't let her privacy know to anyone...
Mona: ok, Mark...
This is the reason I let Anna outside because she may look at her mom, I think I no need to explain to you in detail...
(By finishing her words, Mona went and checked both Anna's mom and Rubeus uncle again and came to me...
But when I looked at Anna's mother's face, I feel guilt conscious that I am separating a mother and child.)
Mona: let's go...
Mark: Am I doing wrong?
Mona: What happened, Mark?
Why are you speaking in such a way?
Mark: Am I making a mistake by hiding Anna's mother from her?
Tell me, Mona, in love, there should be no secrets, right?
Am I making a mistake and cheating on Anna by hiding her mom from her..?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMona: Mark..!
You are not cheating on her, and you are really taking good care of her like her mom do and there is a reason behind we hide Anna's mother from her...
Tell me what it is?
Mark: If something bad happened to her mom, Anna may not take the pain again of her mother's loss...
Mona: Exactly..!
We are not permanently hiding her mother from her...
It's just a fraction of days, and once her mother came out of the coma, we will definitely present her to Anna and Anna definitely understands you...
Mark: I hope she should understand me...
Mona: Don't think much about it, Mark...
Let's go..!
(Mona and I went outside and looked at Anna, she is busy in speaking to Tom, and she got alerted and stood when she recognized us and came near to me to know about Rubeus uncle.)
Anna: How is Rubeus uncle, Mark?
Mark: As of now, his condition is ok, Anna...
But Mona can't say anything until he gets into consciousness...
(Anna immediately turned to Mona.)
Anna: Mona, please take me to Rubeus uncle, once...
I will stay strong...
I promise you, please...
(When Anna is requesting and pleading Mona, I understand how she worries about Rubeus uncle...
She feels better once she looked at Rubeus uncle, or else she doesn't take a nap at least...
So I turned to Mona to convince...)
Mark: let her allow, Mona, I am sure she will stay strong...
Mona: What?
(Mona widened her eyes at me and giving me a hint that Anna's mother is in the same room.
I nodded my head as ok...)
Mark: Close the curtains, Mona, it will be easy and just 2 minutes of matter...
Mona: ok, as you wish but you promised me, Anna, that you will stay strong, ok?
(Anna nodded her head as ok, like a child to Mona, and we all lead into the emergency room again...)
