Chapter 10
It has been a week since Smidge was brought to the hospital. The Autotroll is still in her coma. Milton, Michelle, Joey and David have been visiting her. Milton has been visiting her every afternoon. Milton would sit by the stranger's bedside hoping that she would get better and walk up. Sometimes Milton, his parents and his best friend would bring something for Smidge.
Milton walks over to the confront desk. He is wearing grey long pants, white T - shirt and his blue jacket. He has small bouquet of pink flowers with big white ribbon tied with a bow in his hands. The purple skined troll smiles innocently.
"Your here to see to that woman in room D10. The doctors are busy with her so you are going to have to wait a few minutes. ", the female troll says knowingly and professional.
" Thankyou Miss. ",Milton replies politely.
Then the male Pop troll walks to one of the chairs and sits down. He puts the bouquet of flowers onto his lap. The old male troll sitting next to Milton folds his newspaper as he notices him. The elder looks at flowers for a second then up at Milton. A small smile appears on the elder K - Pop troll's face.
" Are you here for a special lady?",the elder asks curious.
The old man's voice grabs Milton's attention. Milton turns his head to him as the old troll puts the newspaper on his lap. The young man politely smiles at the older troll.
"I am here to see a lady but, I don't really know her. ", Milton says honestly.
"Oh I see. ", the other troll comments.
The K - Pop understands what Milton said but, he still wonders if there might be something more. Nobody comes to the hospital to see a stranger for no reason. The K - Pop troll gestures to the flowers as he starts asking Milton of them. Milton notices the action.
"Are those flowers for her? ", the elder asks curious.
" Yes, they are. I thought it would nice. ",Milton says honestly.
Then a random doctor walks over to the front desk. He informs the female troll about something. She nods her head to him then the doctor walks away. The front desk lady looks at Milton's direction.
" Mr Moss?",the woman calls professionally.
Milton hears the female's voice. He turns his head towards the direction of the voice and so does the troll next to him. Then the older troll picks up his reading material and starts slowly unfolding it. Milton stands up from his chair.
"I wish you luck,young man.", the elder says honestly.
"Thankyou, Sir. ", Milton says politely.
The young Pop troll walks over to the front desk. The female troll sorts out some random files as she tells Milton that he could go see the patient now. This news makes the visitor smile. He quickly thanks her then walks to Smidge's hospital room.
When Milton reaches the hospital room he sees a doctor standing by her patient's bedside. She holds a clipboard in her hands and looks at it seriously. Then the doctor's expression becomes a little confused and seems like she sees something strange. The female Pop troll turns her head to the unconscious patient making a small sound.
" Hm...",the doctor says deep in thought.
Milton decides to get the doctor's attention. He hopes there isn't something wrong. The male Pop troll knocks on the open door. The knock snaps the doctor out of her thoughts. She turns to the doorway to see who made the knocking sound.
" Hello Dr Moonbloom. Is everything alright? ",Milton says politely and concerned.
" Hello Milton. Nothing seems to be wrong with the patient but, I did find something a little strange... ",Dr Moonbloom says honestly.
Dr Moonbloom is working with Dr Plum Plumsy to take care of Smidge. Special cases require more than one doctor to care for the patient. Milton becomes confused by the doctor. Something a little strange? What could be so different that it is considered strange by Dr Moonbloom? The handsome male takes a few steps into the room before asking an question.
" What do you mean?",Milton asks confused.
" It's her DNA... It has a few unrecognizable traits in it that doesn't match the DNA of any kind of troll. She looks to be a Pop troll and a teaspoon troll but, her DNA says she is more and something else. My best guess is that the patient could possibly be a mixed troll race... ",Dr Moonbloom says seriously and honestly.
Dr Moonbloom is wrong about Smidge but, she doesn't know it. She never studied to take care of an alien troll! Milton listened to the doctor's words carefully. It surprised him so much that he turned his head to the sleeping troll!
Most of Smidge's bandages are still there and are newer. Some of them has been removed because, those parts of her had recovered faster than the rest of her healing body. The female Autotroll's chest raises up and down as she breathes. Milton starts wondering about her more curiously. It didn't matter to him whether the unknown troll was a pure blood or not but, that didn't mean he couldn't be curious.
" I'll give some alone time with her. If anything goes wrong just press the button on the side of the bed...",Dr Moonbloom says professional.
The doctor exits the hospital room in no rush leaving Milton and Smidge alone. Once the female doctor is gone Milton sits down on the chair next to Smidge's bed. He puts the flowers down on the nightstand close to him. The Autotroll slightly turns her head towards him as she sleeps. She has a peaceful expression on her face. The heartbeat monitor beeps in the background.
Milton smiles at her innocently. The unknown troll is starting to remind him of a cute sleepy critter. Unknowingly to Milton,he brings his hand to Smidge's hand and starts holding it lightly. The Autotroll's hand is soft and small.
A few hours passes and Milton is still sitting in the chair. He smiles at the troll in her coma as he holds her hand. Then Milton's phone message alert go off. The male Pop troll let's go of the strange troll's hand and takes out it of his jacket pocket. The message is from his father.
'Hey Milton
How is the visit going?
Your mother and me needs you to end your visit early and come home. ', Joey's message says.
Milton starts typing a message. He honestly would like to stay here longer to see if the sleeping patient will wake up but,if his parents need him then he wouldn't mind helping them. The purple troll types fast and quickly sends the response.
' She is still sleeping but, she seems peaceful and fine
What do you and mom need help with? ',Milton's message says.
After a few minutes Joey sends another message and Milton leaves the hospital room. Milton knows very little about the truth of the troll he rescued but, one day he will know. It just won't be this day.
