Secrets

*Chapter seven *

Karim's cut off finger was deteriorating, Ethan the only old man among-st the kidnappers asked Aldo to take the child to the hospital for treatment but Aldo insisted the "no hospitals. "

"But the boy will die on us , I can not have such guilty on my back if this boy dies ." Ethan pleaded .

"Look here Ethan , if we are to take the boy to the hospital , we can easily get caught , can't you think about that ?" Aldo responded to him .

Ethan thought about it and realized that it was a wrong idea to take the boy to the hospital but the boy had to be treated some how .

"Do you remember Chandra?" Fred intervened .

"Ohh Fred , you're a genius , Chandra the fake doctor back in town." Ethan smiled.

"Who is Chandra ?"Aldo wondered .

" Chandra is a doctor whose license was revoked after being found that he had been stealing drugs from a public hospital taking it into his own clinic ." Ethan explained .

"Well if you trust him , you can take the boy to him ,but make sure you are too careful , make sure you are not caught , we don't want that child dead , he's our journey to wealth. " Aldo agreed with their plan .

" Don't worry son , I trust Chandra and I also need the money for my wife's cancer treatment. "

"But if we all need the money , why did you order Fred to burn the money we had earlier Aldo ?" the other man who was always besides Aldo asked .

"Just shut up , you will get to know about that later , help them take the child in the car. "

The three men took the boy who was in deep pain for the loss of his finger into a red pick up , Ethan drove as Fred sat at the back watching over the boy.

Chandra operated a simple clinic in his own apartment with his girlfriend as his nurse , he never let anyone know about his clinic except for those running from the law , those who couldn't make it on time to the hospital , he was earning a simple income at-least to pay for the rent, medicine from bigger hospitals and other needs.

Ethan and Fred parked the car outside his apartment , made sure the people on the street payed no attention to them , Fred got the boy from the back of the car ,carried him upstairs to Chandra's apartment .

"Oh my god , what happened to him ?" a nurse welcomed them .

"Don't you see woman? his finger is cut. " Fred replied to her .

"How and when ?" the nursed continued with her questions .

"Whats wrong woman ? What with the questions ?" are you going to treat him or not ?"

"Okay get him inside here on a couch " Chandra came and intervened .

"Chandra , make him survive. " Ethan begged .

"But what happened ?"

"He got cut when he was playing with a knife at home. "

" who is he ?"

" he's my grandson. "

"I didn't know you had a grandson Ethan. "

"Chandra, try to fix the boy's finger , the boy is from one of my son's side. "

"Help me , help me ." Karim kept weeping .

He was laid on a couch , Chandra and the nurse tried to comfort him as Fred and Ethan waited outside, after a few hours , the doctor was done with fixing the finger back and all was left to let heal on its own , he went outside to tell the men how it had all gone as the nurse kept on nursing Karim .
