TOO LATE TO APOLOGISE
"Where are you coming from by this time of the night?"
He thundered.
"Honey you won't believe what happened today. Oh God I'm so tired right now."
She replied as she yawned.
"I asked where you are coming from and you are vomiting rubbish. Does that answer my question? Are you trying to pretend you don't know there's no food in this house?"
He said fuming.
"Honey I'm sorry but you should hear me out first. I...."

He succeeded but had to use both hands to start the car ignition. His shaky hands turned against him.
His heart was racing.
He couldn't hold the steering firmly but he managed to drive his way to the hospital.
Getting to the hospital, he alerted the nurses. His wife was rushed into the emergency ward.
He became restless.
After about five minutes, his doctor appeared to him.
"Good evening Mr Collins."
"Good evening doctor, how's my wife?"
He said with great panic.
"Your wife was here few hours ago. She brought your mum to the hospital before going home and if she had been ten minutes late, your mum would have died....
