Maid for the Mafia Boss

It’s been three days since William offered me a job at the company he works in.

And I have decided to tell him later that I’ll be rejecting the job offer. It’s too risky for me and I don’t know if I’ll be ready to leave Brylle with Tiya Anne yet.

“Brylle, can you put your shoes on your own?” I asked the little child as I saw him getting his shoes from the doorstep. He looked at me and let out a small smile. I grinned at his direction.

“Yes, Mama.” I smiled then let him put his shoes on. When he’s done, I reached out my hand to which he gladly accepts.

“Let’s go?” He nods and we started walking while I held his hand.

Brylle wants to go to the playground. Thankfully there’s one nearby Auntie’s house. We’re currently on the way there. It’ll be nice for him to socialize with other kids so he won’t end up like an introvert.

His hands are so hot which made me wonder, but immediately dismissed the thought for now.

As we reached the park, Brylle hastily pulled my hand as he badly wants to play. I laughed at the kid’s cuteness.

Letting go of his hand at the playground, I let him play. There are also of kids there so he invites them to play along with him. Later, the park became noisier as the kids kept playing. I watch Brylle from a distance to make sure he doesn’t get hurt or anything.

A few minutes have passed by and Brylle already walked away from the kids. He sat by the grass where there wasn’t much people around.

“Brylle? What’s the matter?” I asked him. He looks at me as I stood up a bit until his eyes were shut close. I immediately ran to his side.

I catched his head before it hits the ground. My eyes widened upon realizing that he just passed out.

“Brylle, Brylle!” I called. Touching his face, I noticed it was warmer than before. I felt his hot temperature everywhere from his forehead and neck. His temperature is so high!

A lot of bypassers surrounded us in curiosity to see what’s going on. I wanted to cry but I set that aside for now. I absolutely don’t know what to do.

He’s still breathing and that made me a bit at ease. If I call an ambulance, we’ll surely get stuck in a traffic. Traffic here is so bad. The hospital is just near the park but I decided that I’ll bring Brylle to the hospital myself.

I carefully carried him in my arms as I ran to the hospital. Hold on, Brylle, please be fine.

“He’s got the severe case of dengue. As what I’ve learned, his symptoms has been showing for a long time. Have you not noticed these signs these past few days? Maybe rashes or fever?” I thought deeply about what the doctor said and glanced at Brylle who’s currently in his own hospital bed with an I. V. attached to his little arms.

“He had those rashes for a long time. He’s very sensitive with his surroundings and very prone to allergies. I thought those rashes were just normal.” Remembering those rashes, I wanted to hit myself for not thinking that he’d get sick like this.

“He already had a lot of rashes. We also noticed his allergy to certain dirty stuff such as dust. Don’t you ever noticed his fever?” Thinking about the times I’d feel his temperature change, I just neglected it because he always reassures me with a smile.

I fell in silence and let myself be destructed by guilt due to the fact that I was a very very bad parent.

“You should’ve brought him to the hospital sooner. His platelets are decreasing in large number, I fear he’d need blood transmission. His life would be in serious danger.” I sighed at the doctor’s words and glanced back at Brylle who’s currently sleeping while breathing heavily.

“It’d be hard to find a matching blood type for him, the hospital just ran out of them. We’re doing the best we can to find sources from other hospitals.” The doctor’s words got me even more worried. What if something bad happens to Brylle because of me?

“What should I do?” The doctor nodded at me.

“Do you know your blood type?” I shook my head with a tinch of confusion written on my face.

“We’ll check your blood type to see if you could donate your blood to him. If that’s alright with you?” Says the nurse, accompanying the doctor.

“H-He’s not really my son.” They were a bit shocked at first but immediately went back to their professional mood.

“We’ll still check your blood even if you’re not aware of it. Who knows you’ll get lucky and you’ll match?” I only nodded in response and stared back at Brylle’s direction.

“Don’t worry about the kid, there are several nurses that will take care of him. They’ll handle it.” I nodded again as I reached out for my phone.

“I’ll just make a call, I’ll inform my Tiya of what happened then you can check my blood.” They both nodded at me before leaving me alone. The doctor told the nurse to bring me to them once I’m done with my business.

My hands were shaking as I dialled Auntie’s number. It took a few rings before she picked up.

“Nassandra? What’s the matter? I’m at work.” She asks hurriedly. This made me close my eyes in frustration.

“I’m sorry but Brylle is at the hospital.”

“What?! Why? What happened?” She almost yelled. I bit my lip nervously.

“He has severe dengue. He passed out while we were at the park. His platelets are low and he needs blood transmission. But it’s going to be difficult, finding a compatible blood donor. The hospital ran out of them.” I tried my best to control my voice and make it sound like I wasn’t going to cry.

“What kind of hospital runs out blood? Geez! Calm yourself down, Nassandra. Ask them Brylle’s blood type, I’ll ask everyone here if they have the same type as he does.”

“They’ll still need to check our compatibility. But thank you for asking them, Tiya.” I let out a sigh. I asked the nurse about Brylle’s blood type.

“It’s O. He’ll only match with the similar type.”

“I’ll go to the hospital immediately once I found somebody. Just text me the name of the hospital, Nassandra, okay?” I nodded even though she wouldn’t see me.

“Y-Yes. Thanky you, Tiya.” I ended the call and proceeded to come with the nurse.

“Your blood type is AB+, that’s not compatible with Brylle. We found a blood bag compatible with your son’s blood type from other hospital. But we’ll be needing four bags if we really want him to be well. Have you found any sources or donors yet?” Said the nurse to which I just shook my head. I was a bit irritated because they don’t have the blood Brylle needed. But I managed to control myself.

“Not yet.” The nurse nodded.

“We can proceed to transfer the first bag to him later. Don’t worry, we’ll do our very best we can to find more blood for him.” I only nodded at the nurse before she left the room.

I sat by Brylle’s bedside. Holding his little hands, I stared at his sleeping face. I touched his cheek lightly.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sorry I failed taking care of you, baby. I’m so sorry.” A tear dropped from my eye which I immediately wiped away.

“Nassandra?” I looked at where I heard Tiya’s voice. She came in with Wiliiam along with guy wearing a white polo. Who is he?

“Tiya” I stood up and walked towards her. She held both of my shoulders firmly.

“Are you okay?” I nodded. As she saw Brylle, she went directly towards his side. She held his hand which made me clench my fists.

“Did you find anyone, Tiya?” I asked, hoping her answer would give hope to my son. Auntie looked at me and nodded. Suddenly, I had hope. She pointed at William which made me look at his direction.

“Anne texted me and asked if I know anyone with a blood type O. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but Sir Zeke is an O-type himself, he’s my boss.” I gazed at the tall, lean man. He’s got a small amount of beard but it suits him. His hair is a bit long with a few curl locks.

He flashed a smile at me.

“My name is Zeke Nicolas Alexandre, I’ll be happy to help your child.” My eyes widened as I took a step closer to him. I accepted his handshake which made me nervous. My heart beat fastened as I felt his callused hand touch mine.

“Thank you so much.” Was all I could say. I was about to break the handshake but he didn’t let go of his grip. He looked through my eyes as if he was studying them until he smirked… He doesn’t know me right???

“What’s your name, miss?” I sucked in s breath at his deep, manly voice.

“Uhmmm. It’s Nassandra.” He lets out a smile before letting my hand go. His eyes went to Brylle before he examined the whole surroundings.

“Where’s the doctor? I want to get this started already, I still have an appointment.” He says. This made William lower his gaze at him.

“I’m terribly sorry for the disturbance, sir.” Zeke laughed then looked at me.

“Ah no, it’s fine. If it’s for the beautiful lady, then I’ll do anything.” My eyebrows creased at his statement. I don’t know if I’m suppose to be flattered or disgusted. I just ignored his remark and called the doctor’s nurse from earlier.

“Yes ma’am?”

“Did you find anymore sources of blood for Brylle?” I asked her as she looked at my companions.

“I’m afraid there’s nothing for now.” I nodded.

“I think we found someone who could possibly be a donor for him.” I pointed at Zeke which made the nurse looked towards him. Her eyes glimmered upon seeing the man.

“We have to check first if you match. Once you do, we can get some of your blood as donation.” Zeke nodded as he followed the nurse.
