10 Payment

Nearly an hour later, the couple still remained within the room. Their daughter could be seen fast asleep on the bed finally getting the rest she deserved with the baby in its crib.

The couple watched over the baby with mixed expressions on their faces but the softness in their eyes said it all. They stayed until a nurse walked in.

"I am sorry to disturb but I am here about the bill" the nurse said in an awkward tone

*Sighs*

"I'll take care of this, we may probably have to sell the farm" the man said after a huge sigh.

He chuckled as he followed the nurse out of the room. Now in the hallway, the man steeled his heart ready for whatever the bill was.

"Okay sir, I am sorry to have disturbed you but I wanted to inform you that your bill has been covered by someone else" the nurse said with a smile

"What? " the man asked in shock

This wasn't what he expected coming out here

"What do you mean? "

"Someone paid the bills of everyone in the hospital that includes yours, we simply thought to inform you of it so you don't have to worry about it" the nurse said before leaving

The man stood there as a smile slowly crept onto his face. This was a miracle.

….

In a small farm located on the outskirts of the city, a small house could be seen. It was a simple farm house with nothing too special about it.

Despite its age, it still maintained its integrity and strength. The House looked so old that the paint had mostly been washed off by rain or had been scratched off.

Within the house, a young woman could be seen standing before a gas cooker as she prepared food for her family.

"Okay everyone food is ready, come down for breakfast" the woman shouted

"Ah Sharon, how many times will I tell you to stop shouting like that, you're giving me a headache" an elderly female voice was heard

"Sorry mama" the woman, Sharon said as she dropped the plates of food in her hand on the dining table then returned back to the kitchen.

"David!! " Sharon shouted as soon as she hit back into the kitchen

"What the hell did I just tell you! " the elderly voice screamed

"Sorry ma" Sharon replied as she focused on what she was doing.

"Yes mom! " a young voice was heard, catching her off guard.

"Oh god!... What did I say about teleporting in the house? " she said as she looked up to see the young boy who was standing just beside the kitchen counter.

The boy looked to be around six to nine years of age. Dressed in a pair of plain trousers and a sports jacket, the boy looked normal for his age however several tattoos could be seen on his exposed hand and neck

"No teleporting…  but it's so much faster" the young boy replied.

"Doesn't matter, you could knock into your grandmother or father if you teleport near them, help me with these plates" she said as she took the ones she could carry to the dining.
