The hospital room had finally descended into a calm and peaceful state after the doctor managed to give Sabrina her needed dose of sedatives.Calytrix tucked Sabrina under the sheets properly before standing upright. She then turned to face the doctor, who was discussing with Sabrina's father.“Sir, I'll advise that someone is always with her. She needs to be monitored based on what happened. She has developed a shock response. It's like every time she wakes up, her brain is still in that moment, and what she would try doing is killing herself,” the doctor said, a book in his hand, which he closed.“Oh… that's bad,” Mr. Meyer said, his breath heaving heavily.“You should also take a rest,” the doctor said as he noticed Mr. Meyer's state.“Miss, try to assist him with keeping an eye on Sabrina for now. She just needs to be in someone's focus,” the doctor said, turning to meet Calytrix.“Definitely, I'll do that,” Calytrix said with a nod, and then the doctor turned to leave.As the doc
While Calytrix and Mr. Meyer were discussing, Sabrina had woken up from her induced sleep and had thought to finish what she started.Mr. Meyer, who was covering his face with his hands, quickly dropped them as he heard Calytrix shout, his head turning to face Sabrina.“Sabrina, please put it down,” he begged, his hand moving closer to Sabrina.“Don't come close to me!” Sabrina shouted, her eyes pouring with tears. “You are a devil, you’re not my father,”As Sabrina held the pin tightly in her hand, pointing it menacingly at herself, Calytrix watched in panic and gave Mr. Meyer a knowing look.When she saw that he had caught on to what she meant, he assisted by pulling Sabrina's attention to himself.“Dear, what do you mean? Why are you saying all this nonsense? What are you doing this for?” Mr. Meyer questioned his daughter, his tone laden with emotion.“You ask what I'm doing this for?” Sabrina said, laughing maniacally as she recoiled in disgust at what her father was telling her.
She sighed as she placed her hand on the ward handle. She opened the door to the ward, and the uneasy smell of medication seeped into her nose.Calytrix stiffened her breathing as she walked towards Mrs. Laylina Meyer, who could be seen sitting by the side of the bed beside her daughter.She picked one of the chairs in the room and dragged it closer to Mrs. Meyer before sitting down on it.Sabrina lay unconscious on the hospital bed, IV drips passed through her hands connecting to the drips hanging on a stand, and some drugs were placed on the table beside the bed.The room also had a curtain that could be used for a patient's privacy.After her eyes were done surveying the room, she couldn't help but notice Mrs. Meyer’s muffled sobs.“Mrs. Meyer?” She called out softly, her hand moving closer to touch her, but the latter obstructed her hand, and she retracted it.“I’m fine, if that’s what you want to ask.” Mrs. Meyer responded, her voice hoarse and tears running down her face as she
“Please, ma’am, don’t cry, all will be well,” Calytrix said, her hand placed behind Mrs Meyer's back as she patted her.“Sabrina will come out fine,” she added, but that sentence seemed to be a trigger for Mrs. Meyer. She suddenly glared at her, which made Calytrix's hand momentarily leave her back.“She'll come out fine?” she said, her tone taking on a more sarcastic edge. “And when she does, she'll go back in again because what's going on hasn’t been solved yet.”“She can't handle this, I told him!” she continued wailing, leaving Calytrix lost in her thoughts, trying to piece it all together.Mrs. Meyer had left coded words that Calytrix couldn't seem to solve. Just as she was about to ask her some questions, the door to Sabrina's ward suddenly opened.Abruptly, the sobs coming from Mrs. Meyer stopped, and she stood up to meet the doctor, her eyes eager for the news—something good, she hoped.“Doctor, please, how is my daughter? Please tell me she's okay! Please!” she said, teardrop
“Huh?” Calytrix was surprised by the answer.Why would Sabrina attempt suicide? Is something wrong with her?Calytrix knew Sabrina; she was a proud b*tch, and that made them not get along. Most of the times she was around, Calytrix only managed to speak a word or two to her, which included greetings and not much more.The fact that her mother had to work as a nanny, even if it was about paying back a favour, didn’t really sit well with Calytrix. So, she didn’t bother much with the family, especially their spoiled daughter.Instead of brooding in her mind, Calytrix decided to ask straight from her mum, “What made her try that? Is she mentally okay?”“I don’t know,” Mrs. Forger could only reply as she patted her chest before adding, “I just know that lately, she has been moody, and I always overhear the Meyers whispering amongst themselves. I don’t really know what is happening to them. She’s not the only one who is moody; it’s all of them, just that Sabrina seems more off than the rest
Calytrix had arrived at her destination.She got out of the taxi, paid for the fare and as the vehicle zoomed off, she looked at the huge gates that provided a glimpse of the glamour of the Meyers' estate.She suspired and moved from where she was standing, heading towards the black gates. However, she diverted and stopped just short of the wicket gate, where she raised her hand to knock.In no time, the middle-aged gatekeeper had answered. “Who is it?”“Good evening, it's me, Mrs. Livingston's daughter…” She started to introduce herself when the latter cut her off.“Oh…Miss. Calytrix, you came today. Come in,” he said with a smile as he quickly let her in.“Thank you, sir,” she said, bowing slightly.“No need. Your mum is such a nice person; I could never treat you badly,” he said with a big smile before returning to his post.Calytrix walked along the paved paths of the estate until she reached the Meyers’ huge mansion. Standing in front of the entrance door, she rang the doorbell,
