"Doc? Doctor!!"Ruby heard waking up from sleep, she rubbed her eyes to push sleep off, and saw Sara standing in front of her with panic written over her face, Ruby got up immediately, she didn't know when she had fallen asleep, she was only going to rest her head but ended up sleeping off."What Sara? Is Annette okay?"She asked picking up her coat."No, she is losing too much blood and it is worrying,""Oh my God, I thought she wasn't bleeding anymore,"She said as they both walked hurriedly out of her office towards the labor ward where Annette was, she had opted not to move her in case there is an emergency, now she was glad she did, she opened the door and rushed to her bedside, she looked so strength-less."Annette are you okay?""No,"That was all the woman said."Sara, get a PCV test done,"She instructed checking her vitals."I already sent the blood over and it will be here soon,"Sara responded."Okay, did you tell them to do a cross-match just in case she needs to be trans

Ruby waited patiently for Richard to take his call, she was going to give him a piece of her mind and made sure he knows that she wasn't going to let him take what belongs to her, not anymore, he has done a lot of damage already and she wasn't going to let him do anything to her again."Hello?""Richard, it's Ruby,"She said trying to control her anger, there was no use letting him get to her."Oh, Ruby, I am guessing you saw the letter from the court already,"He asked laughing, she wanted to go over to where he was and wipe those laughter off his face, but unfortunately, she was far away in Cacko."I didn't see the letter per se, I got a call from my lawyer, I am not in the city,""Ahha, okay then, all you have to do is tell your lawyer to hand the papers over and we will be done for good,"The stupid man said and Ruby felt her control slowly slipping away, he was talking nonsense so comfortably."You must be crazy, no skip that, I know you are crazy,""What do you mean by that Ruby

Liam sat staring at the screen of his laptop, no matter how he searched there was nowhere it was written, how the fuck does the internet not have a good document of how this fucked up island came into existence, he had been in it for over two hours, yes the name was there and there were some information about it but no one knew how it came about, not even the smallest of details about the founding fathers, there has to be someone who first came to the place and also when it started, the articles he saw dated back twenty years ago, and that was the oldest, he couldn't conclude based off that the island didn't exist until twenty years ago, he just have to look further, if only he was in the city, he would have gone to a library where history books are kept, there has to be something somewhere, he gave up on looking after checking for few more minutes, he went to his room where Kristen was laid sleeping, the little had cried earlier and after he fed her she played for a while before she

Ruby hurriedly walked to the hospital, without waiting for Liam, there was no much time to do that, she should have thought of Annette trying to leave, but it never occurred to her, she couldn't be on her own, she would die and the baby might die too, they both can't survive for long, she just hoped they will find them before it is too late."Doc, you are here,""Yes, Lewis what happened here?""The nurse in charge of her step out for a while and she disappeared, with the baby, it all happened so fast, and we have been trying to find her,"He revealed."How is that possible? How did she get by the reception without getting noticed?"Ruby asked, because she has to go through the section to get her baby, and someone would have noticed her because the baby ward was off-limits to no staff, except they are in to see their baby and it is always with the guide of a nurse."She requested for her baby to be brought to her, we couldn't deny her that since she had the right to see her child, I d

"God, this is messed up,"She thought closing her eyes for a second to contain her emotions because they were flying everywhere, she walked to the entrance of the hospital where she met the others, they all looked so worried she couldn't even blame them because she knew they were doing their best, yes they were trained to work under distress but this was a little overboard, this went beyond what they were trained for."I just hope they are found,"Sara said."They will,"She responded even though she could only hope.About twenty minutes later, her phone rang again, she quickly picked it up, it was Liam's number but it was Lewis that picked it up, she didn't even know he wasn't in the hospital."We found her,""Oh my God, for real? How is she?""Not so fine doc, but the baby is okay for now, we will be there shortly,""Thank God, thank you so much Lewis, and Liam too, oh God, thank you,"She said collapsing on the ground, her mind at peace, she stood up almost immediately"They found

Liam looked at the woman before him, she looked like she wanted to leave again, he didn't know how best to start the conversation they were about to have but he hoped that what they talked about can at least give insight into what was going on in this island and maybe he could finally get the link he was looking fir to declare this place unsafe."I know you have a lot to ask me but I am only going to say anything after you promise me that my son will be alright and that he won't be taken away by those evil men,"She said in a pleading voice."Don't worry, your baby is safe here at the hospital no one will come for him,""I hope so, I will die if anything happens to my son, I don't want to give him away, he is my only child, I can't let them take him away,"She said as she started crying all over again, he gave her his handkerchief."Ma'am, would you mind telling me what is going on? Why do you think someone is going to take your kid away?"He asked gently."Because they will, they hav

"What happens when the babies are taken away? I mean the male children taken at birth?""That I am not sure of, no one here knows, but we guess they are being sold to families who need children, that's our guess, we don't know for real,""Or could they be sent to the place you were before you came here, you know the camp,""No, that's not it, there are no young children there, just people sold, and we were not allowed to talk to each other unlike here so no one really knows,"She explained."So what you are saying is, you get sold, they are taken to a camp to learn the language that is spoken here and then sent here, what I don't understand is, there is a ferry, and people are leaving this island when they want,""That's what they made you guys believe, that's what they want you to believe, haven't you wondered why some of the people that leave never come back here? I mean a lot of them, they get taken away and new people are brought here, you may not have noticed but once you leave t

Ruby was becoming impatient, they have been talking for over one hour now, she didn't want to be rude and walk in on them but the more she sat here the more inpatient she becomes and the more scared she is, in the past one hour plus, she has made sure baby Kristen is fed and the little one was currently sleeping, she has gained a lot of baby weight and was looking very healthy, she also checked on Annette's son and he was doing fine too, thankfully nothing bad happened to him, now she sat in her office and there was nothing she could do than to wait for Liam to be done."Taking forever,"She muttered to herself as she got off her seat, she couldn't just sit here and wait forever, she checked on Kristen before she went to the door, she opened it and found Liam standing there."Oh, Liam, you guys are done?"She asked as she walked back in with him following her, he didn't say a word just sat down with a long face."What's going on Liam? What did she tell you?"She asked worried, the exp

Liam followed behind Ruby as she ran towards God knows where, he wanted to tell her to just call the guy in question but she had been out before he could get the words out, she stopped at the reception breathing heavily while the confused nurse stared out her as she tried to calm herself down and get the words out, he saw just how much she was struggling and walked up to her, holding her hands."Ruby, calm down, you can talk when you are calm,"He said but she removed her hand from his and turned to the nurse again, the nurse had a worried look and was eagerly waiting for what she had to say, the senior nurse Sara walked in, at that moment and looked at them all."What's going on here? Doc? Are you okay?"She asked in a worried tone."I am not, Nathan,"Ruby said breathlessly."What about Nathan? Is he coming back here?""No, have we heard from Nathan since he left?"She let out, her voice finally back."Nathan? Yes, why?"Sara said and Liam let out a breath that he didn't even know h
