"Why are you even doing this?" He asked,looking poker face at me.
I remained quiet and continued to prepare tea for him.
How could I answer him,when even I don't know why??
"I asked you something Ella," He repeated,his voice rising a bit."Why are you doing this,helping me? You know you don't have to. I know... I know you hate me,I don't need your sympathy, you get it?All your efforts are useless. Just useless,"
His voice was cold,hard and totally ruthless. My fingers trembled as I stir the sugar in his tea. I could feel tears but no.....
Control, yes,I have to control!
I have seen a rude Jacob but this...this Jacob Parker is not just rude but hard and cold to the extent that it becomes unbearable.
"I am a doctor Mr Parker," I replied sounding much calmer than I felt and feeling proud at myself for being able to plaster a smile on my face.
"I am a doctor," I repeated, picking up the tea cup and saucer for him. "It is my duty to help you and that's exactly what I am doing,"
I smiled and hold out the saucer for him. He looked at me,and before my mind could register or my senses,he threw the saucer and tea cup on the floor,spilling tea all over on the floor.The incident was so sudden and out of grasp,that a scream escaped my mouth.
That was it.....I could no longer control my tears and they began to flow freely.
Again....because of him!!.
