EPISODE 67; EXCERPT (G)
Having said that he left that day anticipating Michael’s call but never amassed any.
At a point which happens to be two days later, he got so worried and decided to know what was going on.
Taking out his phone from his pocket he dialed Michael’s number but it wasn’t picked up. He tried two more times and when it wasn’t still picked up flung his phone away and continued his daily activities with the thoughts that he will call back later but before he could finish all he was doing it escaped his mind.
Michael on the other hand always crouched before Violet’s bed every day and night staring at her and praying for her to wake up cause she’s suddenly slept more than he expected her to. From just two days it turned to three and from three it turned to four and that way it continued.
“I don’t know what’s going on buddy. She hasn’t woken up since then” Michael said to someone over the phone.
“What! That’s six days now. Are you being serious or you just wanna play games with me?”
“I’m damn serious George. I’m currently sitting before her right now and she’s looking so pale and like one without even a single atom of blood. Like, I’ve checked her pulse and everything I could fucking place my hands on and it all came out positive signifying that she’s stable. I just don’t know why she’s not waking up. Like I don’t know” he tousled his hair and heaved out heavily.
“Calm down ok? I’ll be there in a jiffy.”
The call dropped and Michael sighed exasperatedly. He cleaned off his eyes and stared softly at Violet.
“Wake up Violet. Please get the fuck up. You’re bigger than this so fight this shit and open those eyes” he whimpered and held her hands soaking them up with his tears.
The door slowly unlocked behind him and he jerked up in fright thinking that it was one of the nurses but breathed out and relaxed when it came out to be George.
“Even while coming I had believed that you were just joking with me. Wow! It’s just so hard to believe that she’s been lying there for six days now.”
“I know I joke a lot but you know I’ll never joke with something like this.”
George bobbed and rubbed his shoulders. “You’ve tried yours, let me try mine” he mumbled and with a nod, Michael left the ward for him to do all he wants to do.
“What did you find out buddy? Does she have any problem? Will she wake up? Is her baby safe? Any development?”
George shook his head feeling so awful for his friend due to how he keeps panicking and having the thoughts that this happens to be the first time his friend forgot to offer him a sit as he entered his office left a sour taste down his throat. Breathing out he crouched down anyway seeing that it was the only thing left for him to do since Michael was already so occupied with his thoughts.
“She’s fine pal. Please calm down. You will bring a more tragic case on yourself if you continue this way. Take a break, please. I…,”
“Save me the preaching George and tell me what you found out about her. I can take care of myself. I’ve been doing that all these years so please just tell me what I want to hear.”
“But…,”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“Are you going to tell me what I want to hear or do you want me to leave this office for you?”
“Fine!” He stamped his foot. ‘Such a stubborn fellow’ he cursed in his mind and secretly glared at him.
“I’m still waiting” Michael groaned thumping his fingers noisily on the desk.
“If she doesn’t wake up today then she will wake up tomorrow buddy. I don’t know the exact time so just keep on checking up on her.”
“That’s good news!” Michael smiled for the very first time since he found out about the tragic case of Violet and excitedly jerked up.
“Yea it is. Lest I forget, please make sure not to hide anything from her just because you want to keep her on the safe side once she wakes up cause you will only be endangering her the more if you do that. Tell her everything without leaving a trace out so that she will make a choice. I got to leave now. My patients will be waiting. Don’t forget to call and inform me whenever she makes a choice. Bye.”
“That’s so much buddy. I’ll surely keep to your advice and I’ll call you once she wakes up. Thanks so much once again. I owe you one.”
“Ok then. See you when I see you. Be fine and please take care of yourself.”
Michael glared at him and escorted him out before retiring back to his office to tidy up some things.
“So how has the search been going?” A female voice asked in the dark.
“As always, it has been going smoothly. The lady is pregnant for a guy she had a one-night stand with months ago. From our little scrutiny, the guy doesn’t even know that he got her pregnant and is currently on the last steps of getting married to another lady. The lady on her part knows he’s the one responsible but doesn’t want to have anything to do with him. She’s currently laying eyes closed on a hospital bed right now cause she tried to abort her baby. I might not be good in medicals but the lady I saw there won’t be able to survive and that means her baby will be dying too. I’m sorry to say this ma’am but that lady is actually carrying the seed of your fiance. But not to worry she’s already on the verge of death so she won’t be a threat to you.”
“I said it! I knew there was a connection between them. I just knew it!” The female exclaimed and clenched her jaw. “I want you all to keep an eye on her cause miracles do happen. You guys already know what to do if by chance she survives. And you all should remember to keep clean ground. Am I understood or do I need to go over it again?”
“Everything is clear ma’am. Kill and burn. No trace. We grab” one of the guys answered, passed his tongue over a knife he had in his hand, and smiled.
“Good. Till we meet again” she bobbed and walked out.
