Easy way out
She wanted to rush the boy to the hospital, feeling herself to blame for not looking at where she was going. But the young lad stopped her, declining the offered help.
"Don't worry. There is no need to go to the hospital." He persisted, waving his hand to signal no at her.
He sat on the solid ground, assessing his injury, feeling some pain in some parts of his body caused by the fall. But he believed he could still manage just fine.
Then, his head slowly swirled around, searching for something, but it was nowhere in sight. He was sure he had it in his hands before bumping into the woman, but it appeared to have disappeared.
"I'm sorry, but let me help you." She insisted, not wanting to leave the boy, still lying on the floor, unattended.
She stood up but did not move away. She stretched her hands to the boy, extending her help. Thankfully, he finally accepted, taking the hand she offered.
