8: Theodore's Threat

Melinda walked back and forth outside the room while Robert sat on one of the wood benches, cupping his face. They’re both horrified with what they’ve seen that none of them uttered a single word as they wait for the operation to end. It was lucky for Melinda to have a doctor as a cousin. They couldn’t afford to call a doctor they knew not, considering the oddity of their child

It was hard for her to set aside her and Theodore’s differences, but if it’s for her daughter, she pretty much could do almost anything. 

It has been three hours or so after they called Theodore, but he did not leave the room yet. All they could do was to pray their daughter was holding on to the string of life. They couldn’t afford to lose her. Not now, not ever.

According to Martha, one of the hotel’s front desk, there was a woman who fell on the rooftop. They didn’t know it was Ms. Martin until Melinda told them. To her anger, she pledged to sue them if her child wouldn’t wake up.
