Treatment

Just as Amanda closed her eyes to sleep, the light in the room assaulted her eyes before her eyelid could shut properly. Peter's voice went to her ear from the doorway.

"Oh yeah, I forgot, Do you want to go to the hospital? you know, to treat your wound." Peter with his eyelid hanging by a string to keep it open. "I don't know why I didn't mention this at first, I guess I'm just too tired or your story is just that surprising. Even if I had treated you with botched treatment but I suggest you get proper treatment, it is for you and Tori's sake."

Amanda's eye twinkled with a sense of hesitation. If she go to the hospital obviously she would get questioned on why she got shot. This is a grave matter because she couldn't just answer she didn't know why that would be an unacceptable reason, but if she answer honestly she would just complicate the matter or even get herself arrested. No matter what, her going to the hospital is not a good idea.

"Can I not? with my situation and my current appearance it might arise some suspicion or in the worst case get Tori arrested, you know" Amanda rose to a sitting position on the bed and face Peter.

"Ah, yeah, that might be true." Peter's head went thinking of the implication. "But we can't leave your wound just like that. you can just refuse to answer or lie?"

Amanda went thinking again. "According to Tori's knowledge of medical professionals, that might work, but it still has a risk of the hospital reporting a suspicious person to the authorities."

Peter weighs the chance and the risk. Only when the weight of Tori's body outweighs the risk did Peter decide. "Alright, we are going to the hospital anyway."

Amanda stares at Peter's eyes as he stares back. "Are you fucking sure?"

"Yeah, I and probably Tori gladly take the risk to secure medical treatment for that wound of yours." Peter added "And with your current physical appearance, no one would relate you with an escapee of a prostitution establishment. I will cover for you."

With that being said, Amanda could only nod. Peter walked toward Amanda's bedside and helped her walk toward his car.
