“Bye, Sam,” Sergio said and hung up.
Christina was cleaning her face with a tissue. “Will they start covering my medical care again?”
“Sam said he would call me back with the company‘s decision, but I know they‘ll start covering you again as soon as you get your new insurance card. Call my receptionist, give the number to her, and I will charge them just for the prescription for your power chair.”
“I only came here because I have a cold and I need a prescription to cure it, not just one that will give me relief for a few hours and then the cold will come back.”
“That‘s what I hate about over-the-counter-drugs,” said Sergio as he wrote a prescription for a medicine that would kill the cold virus forever that his half-brother, Ruben invented. “They are a temporary solution. I thought humans were much more intelligent than this. They can create virus and bacteria-killing medicines, but it‘s like they don‘t want to.”
Christina laughed. “That‘s what you guys are here for, to improve the quality of everything we create.”
“That‘s the only thing we can do, however, improve what you‘ve created. We can‘t fix your mistakes because if we do, God will make sure that our species becomes extinct,” he explained.
Christina took the prescription from him gently. “Is that right?” Smiling, Sergio said, “Yes, that‘s right.” “Well, I guess I have to go,” Christina said.
“Do you want one of our special buses to take you home?” “That would be nice.”
Minutes later, Christina went home in one of the buses. She got home, got out of the bus, went into the house, picked up the phone and called her mother.
Heidi answered the phone. “Hello, sweetie, how are you?”
“I‘m better than ever. I met this doctor that helped me get my health insurance back and made my hands good and functional once again. Now I can work from home.”
“That‘s wonderful, my love! Who is this doctor?” “It was Dr. Sergio Snyder.”
“He‘s the best doctor in the world! He‘s handsome, too!”
“Yes, he‘s very handsome, and I can‘t deny that he captivated me, but…” Smiling, Heidi said, “So my girl is in love?”
“Mama, you know I fall in love very easily, but I feel more gratitude for him than anything.”
“You can move in with me and take the job I had before. I am a best-selling author now, thank God. You could either do that or allow me to support you financially.”
“The job that you had generates very good money, ten thousand dollars a month and I want to be self-sufficient.”
“You want to make your own money?”
“That‘s correct.”
“Christina, I just want you to know that I‘m willing to support you while you make your own fortune.”
“Thanks, Mom.”
Heidi got an outstanding idea at the moment. “Hey, how would you like to start your own enterprise?”
