The sound of growls and sobs filled the air from both Rose and Jessica as they crouched next to Raya who had just taken the bullet in place of her mother. Tears cascaded down their red cheeks as they tried to wake the little girl who had blood all over her clothes. “Officer, there is a gunshot inside!” the voice of Rodrigo came.“We should bring her to the hospital!” Rose cried out but Jessica was in too much shock to move or do anything. The cops were finally at the warehouse, and they instantly chased after the kidnappers.“What happened?” Rodrigo asked the moment he saw what was transpiring. “We have to take her to the hospital right now,” Rose said, Ray slowly took her in his arms as they all edged towards the car. Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Raya was placed in the bed while they pushed her into the operating theater unit. Jessica tried to go in but she was stopped.“Mrs, we are sorry but you can't go in!” the nurse told her clearly.“Nurse, please do everything you ca
The doctor finally came out of the operating room. He was sweaty and at the same time he looked stressed out. “Doctor, what is the condition of my daughter?” Jessica questioned as the rest gathered around him.“The procedure to remove the bullet from your daughter's body was a complete success. However, we need to put her in intensive care!” the doctor answered.“But doctor, my sister's condition would surely improve right?” Rose asked softly. “As of now, her condition is still critical but we should hope and pray she improves. I need to go if you would excuse me!” the doctor responded nicely before walking away. “I’m sorry to bother you madam but you need to go to the administration and settle your hospital bills and expenses, it's the most important policy that you must make a down payment upon admission of the patient!” The nurse told them while handing Jessica a slip. “Can't it be before the patient is discharged because we are still going to look for our resources, this is a b
Ray had thought of finding help from his friend Eric, he hadn't told him the reason why he was asking him for a huge sum of money but Eric had solely agreed to help him with the little money he had on him.“This is not much but this is all I have got right now!” Eric said, handing his friend the money. “This is already a great help and I must thank you! Thank you very much!” Ray said with a smile. “I honestly don't know much about you these days Ray but if you ask me, you should ask from your parents and you won't be short on cash right now!” Eric said, hoping his friend would do as he had said.“Uhm Eric, the money I asked from you is not really for me!” Ray slowly told his friend.“Then who is the money for then?” his friend asked in bewilderment. “It's for Rose. Actually, it's for her younger sister's operation!” he explained to his friend who still didn't seem to understand. “But why don't you just borrow the money from your parents? They have the money and I know that they wo
The doctor walked out of Raya’s room before speaking to Jessica and the rest about the condition of the patient. “The condition of your daughter is not very good until she undergoes the operation or else her condition might even become worse, and if it would not be done right away, it's very possible that she might die!” the doctor blurted out and that had left their eyes dilated in shock.Jessica couldn't help it anymore as she busted out into uncontrollable tears. Her sobs seemed to be coming out in hiccups. “I need to attend to another patient, excuse me!” he said but Jessica held him by the clothes to halt him. “My daughter should have her operation doctor, I’m begging you to please consider and do not let her die!” Jessica pleaded with the doctor as more tears found their way out.“I also want to save your daughter's life but I’m not the owner of the hospital to make such a decision. I’m very sorry!” The doctor said in an apologetic way.“You have to be strong, we won't allow
The following day, Chantelle had gone back to the hospital after having run a few tests. She sat down patiently while she waited for the doctor to bring out the result and every piece of information regarding her sickness.The door gently pulled open as the doctor walked in holding a file In her hands. “Sorry for keeping you here Chantelle, we have carefully studied the result of your tests and I’m afraid that your kidneys have been totally damaged,” the doctor told her.“Uhmm doctor, what are you trying to tell me?” Chantelle questioned while trying to adjust herself on the seat.“It means that you have an end-stage renal disease!” the doctor told her. “We can still perform a kidney transplant on you but then it's just the start of your treatment. You still have to take a certain amount of medicine so that we could prevent your illness from becoming worse. It would help protect your body's internal organs from getting damaged!” the doctor explained.“But doctor, what if for example,
Claudia trudged down the stair hurriedly after taking notice of the loud voices downstairs. The door to the front door pulled open revealing Travis and the security guard in an unpleasant attention. “Put your hand off me! I just want to speak to Claudia,” Travis yelled at the security man.“You are not allowed in here sir,” the security man told him while still preventing him from getting in.“Claudia?” Travis yelled but she was already standing in front of him with a huge scowl masking her face.“What are you doing here Travis, and why are you making a commotion at my house? If you are here to accuse me again of what happened to your daughters, I’m going to tell you again and again that I had nothing to do with that.” She said plainly with a finger pointing at him.“I wouldn't have come here if that was the case. I have lost my family and my life is nothing but a miserable one, just the way you have always wanted it to be,” he said, not looking at her.“For the sake of my daughters,
Chantelle was sitting down opposite the sister from the church. “Hang on, aren't you the aunt of that young and vibrant child. Mitch?” the sister questioned trying to be sure. “Yes, I’m the one!” she responded calmly.“So, what brings you here? What's it that I can do for you?” the lady inquired.“Sister, I have wanted to apologize for being so unpleasant towards you during the time that I was here!” Chantelle apologized.“Is that it? Do not worry about it at all because that meant nothing to me!” the sister made known.“Uhhh, the reason I came here is to talk to Travis. Is he here right now and is it right if I at least talk to him?” Chantelle asked.“He recently found out about the whereabouts of his family and as we speak. He must have reunited with his children,” the nun said. “Oh, is that so?” Chantelle said. “Well, if that’s the case sister. I would have to go and come back some other time,” she added getting up on her feet.“Do you at least want to leave a message for him?”
They both pulled away from the tight hug. Jessica decided that since she was starting with her kids, they deserved to know that their father was alive and well.“Concerning your father, I got to see him!” She voiced and the shock on her children’s faces was clearly visible. “You and father saw each other? Where and when?” Rose asked her words clustered together. “He came here because he wanted to talk to me but I could not bring myself to talk to him, when I set my eyes on him. I began to remember all the memories and sufferings that I had experienced, all that we had to go through. My heart was about to burst and that’s why I could not bring myself to talk to him!” Jessica explained while she rubbed her forehead. “Do you know where I could possibly find him?” Rose asked but Jessica wiggled her head.Later in the day, Rodrigo and Jessica where sitting in the hallway all alone. “I definitely owe Raya’s life to you. You once saved my own life too, thank you Rodrigo.” Jessica thanked
