5 Days Later

Act 5, scene 1: They are in Nandy’s ward preparing for her to go home.

Jeanette: Gerald these are the discharge documents for your mother she is free to go home, we just want to observe her for another day and see how is she.

Nandy: Thank you for saving my life.

Jeanette: (fake smile) It my job and besides the person you should be thanking it Dr Washington.

Monica: let me go grab something to eat.

Jeanette: Me too provided there are no questions you wish to ask (they look at each other she leaves).

15 minutes later

Mandy: Mom have some fruit (she gives her kiwi fruit).

Jeanette: I have to get back to work now, see you later (she walks away)

Nandy: Jeanette can we talk my child (she stops) I’m sorry for everything that I did to you it wasn’t my intentions to hurt you (she turns to her) I am the one who made Monica do all those things to you. Hopefully one day you find it in your heart to forgive you (she goes towards her) another thing I have learned is to accept someone for who they are not for what they have. The reasons I did what I did it because all of you had everything that I ever wanted when I was a child when I grow up happiness, love, joy, people who care for you and a beautiful family; please forgive me.

Mandy: We forgave you long ago.

Monica: Please forgive me too.

Jeanette: Mandy is right it all in the past now.
