When Grain had gone into Nancy's room to do the job they had planned, Maze had wanted to wander into the room that Jason had occupied previously. But he had to stoop when he heard footsteps coming his way.'Why are you moving about, Old lady? Go and find a place to sit', someone said to him as they passed.'Walking a put stooped like that, does she not have wait pain? These oldies should help themselves. If their children take them to an old people's home, they feel that they are despised but it is actually for their own good'. The other person said as they moved pass him.The doctor with them laughed.'I have to go and see that patient in a coma. I believe that she should be coming around soon, but if not, we are planning on asking the family members to give her a mercy death'.Maze's ears pricked when he heard that. Was there any other patient in such a critical condition as the doctor had described than Nancy?'Foolish me. Is Nancy the only patient in this hospital? The doctor coul
Grain laughed Jason to scorn as he ran off in the direction he had pointed. Then he decided to go in search of Nancy but all the rooms seemed alike and there was no way he could continue going from one room to the other in search of a patient. He would soon be found out and Jason could be back anytime soon looking for him.He decided that if it was impossible to find Nancy that day, then they could try the following day but since he was there, he could at least kill Jason.He decided that rather than looking for Nancy, he would stay and wait for Jason Campbell.He got out the sharp short knife that he always had hidden in his waist.The dagger was intact.As soon as Jason came, he was going to stab him in his stomach and heart, making sure that the injuries were fatal that even if he did not die immediately, he was sure to die because no medicine would help him this time,he might even open his old wounds for good measure.While waiting for him though, Grain decided that it was time he
The doctors rushed to the bed, but putting the tube back on Nancy was useless because the monitor showed that she had stopped breathing.They tried pumping air into her heart.They kept pumping her chest with the hope that she would start breathing again no matter how faint so that they could quickly put it back on.They did this many times but her chest always fell back down lifeless.That was when Jason ran into the room.He had seen Chris outside where the doctors had sent him and did not want to listen to anything. There would be time enough for that.'What is happening here?', he asked though his subconscious already knew.The doctors told him how they had tried to revive her but that she was finally gone.'No!' he screamed.' It cannot be. I will not accept that and when f you do not revive her this instant, I shall sue this hospital to court!' The doctors looked at themselves shocked. Their look indicated they were bemused. They felt pity for Jason but it was too much for him to
Alfred returned home and after checking in the Campbell's mansion, was told that Jason was still in the hospital with Nancy.A call came through just then.'Sally, could you ask Mrs. Potts to make much of her sweet brooth? Nancy would need it now that she has been revived'.'She has? Thank goodness. That is a weight off our shoulders. I shall tell Mrs. Potts right away'.Sally rushed to the kitchen to tell Mrs Potts about this and Phoebe who had come to stay with Sally in the house was both sad and glad with the news.Now the battle for Jason's love would continue and she knew who would win given all that she had been through and happy because her blood would not be on her conscience. She had been feeling mighty guilty all this while.'This is great news', Alfred said. A d since I am ony way to the hospital, I shall take the brooth with me'.Mrs. Potts quickly made the brooth and Alfred took it to the hospital and after asking at the reception and his identity certified,was directed t
'What is it Campbell? Did Nancy fall unconscious again?', Dr.Parker, the specialist doctor in charge of Namcy asked.'No such thing but I do not know if this is worse or not!''What is it then ?''She cannot remember anything including her name. She asked who I was and just assumed that since I told her she was in the hospital when she asked, that I must be a doctor. What could be responsible for that?''Oh, it is Amnesia and it is fairly common with patients with injuries to the head. I did not tell you this earlier because I felt there was no need to get you unnecessarily worked up because she might not have it. Some patients are lucky not to experience amnesia and I had hoped Nancy was going to be one of such people'.'Yes, but what do we do now? Is there a treatment she had to undergo to restore her memory?''No. Try here is none that I would recommend. It would be dangerous. Allow the memories come back on their own. As her memories come back, it would come in flashes of confusin
'We were going to tell her but not the way you blurted it out to her. Can't you see how shocked she is? You can't just bombard her with too much information at the same time. She just got home and we shall take our time to tell her the necessary things she should know for now', Sally said annoyed at Phoebe's lack of tact.Phoebe did not care as long as her behaviour got her what she really wanted.'I am sorry that I annoyed you all with my statement but I thought that she knew already. I mean was that not the first thing that should be told a mother so that she takes care of herself and her baby? And if she didn't know, why shouldn't we tell her?Correct me if I am wrong but having survived the rigours and stress it's mother went through meeting with this accident and the kind of treatment received, would it not be unfortunate for it to be lost just when the mother is home safe?'They all looked at themselves and felt that she had a point but like Sally had said, she did not present t
When Jason kicked the door open and carried her to her very large bed, Nancy looked round the room and smiled. She was being treated as a queen.Back there she had got the courage to speak because of the presence of this man, whoever he was and whatever be the connection she had with him.He had also anticipated her need by carrying her up the stairs.'Who are you?' she asked Jason as he wanted to move away after covering her with the bed covers.Her hands pulling him back.Jason looked at the bed, so inviting with her lying innocently in it and wanted more than anything else to join her there.'I am your best wisher', he said. It had been on the tip of his tongue to say that he loved her.'I didn't want to ask you down there, well because I didn't want to embarrass you but you are not a doctor, are you?''No, I am not'.'I thought as much but why did you lead me to believing that you were back in the hospital?''There are alot of things that you do not know or cannot remember about yo
'You mean you cannot remember living here?' Phoebe asked Nancy. They were walking in the premises.Nancy had decided that she needed some air as well as a desire to exercise herself in the open by walking around and Phoebe had volunteered.Sally thought it was very nice and thoughtful of her but Mrs. Potts was very apprehensive. Jason had gone out briefly for something and Chris had had to go back to London to get things going about his business. His family would be joining him the following week.'No, I can't. I know that I am not supposed to force my memories but it is really frustrating not knowing anything about one's self'.'Yes, indeed. It is frustrating. I cannot even imagine it. It would feel like being in a cage and being told what to do and what not to do like an animal in training", Phoebe said showing affected concern and understanding. 'But it is for your good and you have to endure it'.'You are the only one who has been a bit more forth coming and being a woman, you see
