EPISODE 68; EXCERPT (H)
Just as George had said Violet fluttered open her eyes the next morning and stared around looking so perplexed and oblivious of where she was, what she was doing there, and how she even came there cause all her mind could give out to her was the fact that she had a successful abortion.
Smiling due to the realization she rubbed her tummy and gently glanced around once more.
Her eyes dilated when she realized that she was laying on a hospital bed. “How did I get here? What happened to me?” She asked trying her best to recall anything at all but her mind came out blank.
“How the hell did I get here! Who brought me here! Is there no one in this damn hospital!” She wailed on top of her voice and kicked off the bedsheet she was covered with.
With tightened teeth, she pulled out the Cannula that was injected into her vein and threw it away.
“I need to leave here right now” she grumbled and covered her bleeding hand with her other hand and started strolling to the door.
She was just about to stretch her hand to the doorknob when the door itself got opened and two nurses hurriedly rushed in. Their jaws slacked when they sighted her and they stood there frozen devoid of anything to do.
“Please you both should get out of my way if you got nothing to say or do!” She barked and just that act of hers brought them back from their world of rivalry.
“Why will you pull out the Cannula by yourself?” One of the nurses scolded her.
“I do whatever I want miss. So that’s none of your damn business. I don’t even know what I’m doing here so if you both will excuse me I need to leave.”
“Excuse you? You want to leave to where? Please, ma’am, get back in so that we can stop your bleeding hand before the doctor walks in” the other nurse mumbled shivering a bit cause, unlike the other nurse she was afraid of losing her job.
Violet hissed and stamped her foot. “I’m not stepping an inch unless if it’s outside!”
“Why are you being so dramatic? We are just here to help you. You’re losing a lot of blood and we need to stop it. It’s for your good.”
“Thank you so much beautiful nurses but I don’t need your help” she replied sarcastically and eyed them.
“You just left us with no other option than to do this ma’am. Sorry in advance” they said at the same time and with an exchange glance held her hands and started dragging her inside.
“Leave me alone bitches! Leave me the fuck alone! I swear I’ll deal with you guys for this later! This is an assault! Leave me alone!” She wailed struggling with them but they held her tightly and kept dragging her in.
The door suddenly got kicked open and Michael scurried in sweating profusely.
“What’s going on here? I thought there was an emergency and had to run down here leaving the patient I was attending to hanging” he said and caressed his chest to calm himself after which he glanced at the nurses.
“You’re awake!” He exclaimed when his eyes dropped on Violet and he rushed towards her but abruptly stopped when he saw her bleeding hand. “Why is she bleeding and why are you both holding her that way?”
“Ask them, Michael. I’m sure gonna sue them for assault. They injured me and also dragged me in here against my wish. I’m so gonna deal with them so mercilessly that they will forget their names” Violet who was more than happy to see Michael babbled and exhaled.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Michael pressed his lips together and sighed exasperatedly. “Did you guys do that to her? Is she fucking saying the truth!?”
“N.. o.. do.. ct.. or” they stuttered shivering.
“Then what the hell happened and why is she bleeding?”
“We heard her screams doctor and rushed in immediately only to see her standing before the door.”
“A glance at her and we understood what she wanted to do and that left us so surprised cause she was supposed to be laying on the bed not standing before the door” the latter continued.
“Once we got back ourselves we noticed her bleeding hand even though she used her other hand to cover it and it was then we remembered that she was supposed to be on Cannula,” the first said.
“We told her to get back in so that we can stop the bleeding before you come in and also to save her the waste of blood but she blatantly refused and having no other option we began dragging her in. That was what caused her uneven screams. That’s what happened doctor” the latter ended.
Michael who has been raving went cold. “You both can leave now. I’ll take it up from here” he breathed knowing that they will never lie to him.
“Ok doctor.” They made a slight bow and walked out without a backward glance.
“Can I stop your bleeding?” He asked so softly shocking Violet cause she had thought he will scream at her.
Without saying anything she slowly crouched down on the bed and stretched forth her hand to him.
He smiled, took out some things from the drawer close to them, and squatted to her level. “It’s gonna hurt a little,” he said and started his work.
“I’m sorry for what happened earlier. I just didn’t know where I was and decided to use the nearest exit.”
He smiled. “It’s fine. I’m sure my nurses are sorry too for dragging you.”
“Of course, they should be” she rolled her eyes. “What am I doing here by the way? I can’t recall how I got here. All I can remember is… Nvm.”
“I met you laying on the floor breathless covered in traces of blood when I got to your house so I brought you here” he mumbled pretending not to know what she wanted to say.
A hidden smile crossed her feature and she rubbed her belly. “How long have I been here?”
“Today will make it the seventh day…,” he halted. “All done,” he said referring to her injury.
She smiled. “Thank you.”
“My pleasure.”
“Wait! Did you just say that I’ve been here for seven days!?” She whisper-yelled when his words dawned on her.
“Did I say that?” He asked back.
She rolled her eyes at him. “Just answer the damn question. How long have I been here?”
“I already told you. Today will make it the seventh day. I wonder what pushed you to take all those stuff that you took. Like, don’t you love your life?”
“That’s none of your business. It’s my life and I choose to live it how I want. I’ve spent a lot of days here. Can I go now?”
He tousled his hair and breathed out. “There’s something we need to discuss Violet.”
“I know I just lost my baby. If it’s about that then just forget it. I’m fine” she said and giggled not in any way hiding her happiness.
“Actually, your baby is still alive and I’m so sorry to say this but you just developed tragic heart disease.”
