A CHANGE - CHAPTER 26
Kingsley was quickly rushed to the nearest hospital by both pearl, Elizabeth and some concern passerbys.
The doctor and nurses quickly rushed him into their emergency room and started treatment on him since he was in a very bad state.
Pearl and Elizabeth were at the receptionist.
Pearl was sitting on one of the chairs in the receptionist, she is not moving or saying anything. She just sat there staring into space.
Everything seems like a drama to her and they are kind of happening too fast without allowing her to process any of the situation.
Elizabeth was also at the receptionist pacing to and fro.
After what seemed like an enternity to the duo, the doctor came out of the ward and they both rushed to him.
“His girlfriend…he paused to glance at their faces and when his eyes settled on pearl.
“You, follow me,” he said and headed towards his office.
Pearl gave Elizabeth a look of “I will be back soon” before tagging along with the doctor.
“What did I tell you the last time that you came here ma’am?” He demanded calmly after they have both settled down.
“That we shouldn’t stress his brain because it might lead to something dangerous,” She replied.
“Then did you keep by those words?” He asked staring keenly at her.
“I..I.. seriously, I didn’t know art was his weakness and he didn’t tell me anything either,” she managed to say and the doctor stare at her for a while before letting out a deep sigh.
“He is a strong guy I must confess..he started as he scribble some words on his paper.
“We have given him treatment and he will have to stay here with us for three days for him to be properly strong before he can leave this place, also there are some drugs that you will have to get him and these is the bills plus the amount of drugs,” the doctor said handling her the paper he was scribbling on.
Pearl collected it slowly from him, her heart skipped multiple beats as her mouth went agaped the moment she saw the amount.
10,000 dollars!
“Okay, this is a dream,” I muttered as I shut my eyes and opened it again only for me to find the money staring back at me nothing changed and i felt my heart broke into pieces as I raised my head slowly to stare at the doctor.
“Doctor, this is too much please,”I pleaded.
“Is not miss, we saved an almost lost life ma’am,” he stated calmly and I nod my head short of words.
And even if I have anything to say, how I’m I going to say it?
I stood up from the chair i was sitting on and went out of the office.
She got to the receptionist and couldn’t meet Elizabeth there anymore.
“Maybe she went out to get something,” her subconscious mind whispered.
“That’s better,” she muttered Walking towards Kingsley’s ward.
The door is a transparency door so you can be seeing almost everything happening there just by staring at it.
Pearl’s heart broke into pieces when she saw the terrible state Kingsley is in.
His eyes were deeply shut, there is an oxygen in his nose which he is using to breath, his head was bandaged round and a drip was passed to his left hand.
A tear fell out of her left eyes as she saw his state.
“He looks like he is battling with his life,” she muttered sadly.
She stare at him for the last time before rushing out of the hospital and started heading to the William’s mansion.
She can’t just continue to watch him struggling with his life without doing anything. She is ready to risk it all and face his mother if worst come to worst….
