Chapter 161 — I will be there right away.

Author's POVThe hospital staff had to reach out to people they felt they had to. Both Nicole's phone and Sophia's needed a password to unlock it and there was no way they could do that.A nurse stood in the hallway holding both phones; one in each hand. Staring at the locked screens like they held the answers to everything."We need to contact their families." She said to another nurse passing by. "But we can't get into their phones.""Check the recent calls. Maybe someone's been trying to reach them."The nurse nodded and pressed the power button on Nicole's phone. The lock screen lit up.Twenty-one missed calls and it was all from the two different contacts. Which were Detective Joe and ‘B.’Just the letter 'B.'"Someone is definitely looking for this one." The nurse muttered.She checked Sophia's phone next. The screen showed fifteen missed calls.All from a contact labeled 'Dad.'Obviously the countless missed calls came at that moment when they had tried to resuscitate them to l

Chapter 162 — Just keep her alive.

Brad's POVI checked my phone for what felt like the hundredth time trying to know if Nicole would return my calls but still nothing.No response from her, either calls or text.Three whole hours. It had been three hours since Nicole left to pick up her things as agreed.She'd said one hour or maybe two, at most.But three hours? That wasn't right and deep down, I feel something was wrong.I could feel it in my gut. That sick, twisting feeling that told me something had gone horribly wrong but time.I paced back and forth in the living room. My fingers kept tapping against my thigh which was more like a nervous habit I couldn't control.Maybe she ran into a friend and lost track of time or maybe she decided to grab food on the way back. I couldn't help but defend her right in my head because that was all I could for now.But even as I tried to convince myself of these possibilities, I knew they weren't true.Nicole would have called back or she would have at least texted. She wouldn't

Chapter 163 — The blood type is not compatible.

Brad's POVThe hospital came into view and the emergency entrance felt like it was just a few steps away.I pulled into the parking lot and didn't bother finding a proper spot. I just left the car wherever it stopped.I was running before my feet even hit the ground. Through the automatic doors and into the bright lights of the emergency ward."Nicole!" I shouted. "Where is Nicole?"My voice echoed through the hallway while a few people turned to look at me but I didn't care at this point.A nurse looked up from her desk. "Sir, are you Brad?""Yes. Yes, I'm Brad. Where is she? I need to see her."The words tumbled out fast and desperately."Come with me."She stood up and gestured for me to follow.She led me down a hallway; meanwhile in the process of that, my heart was pounding and my hands were still shaking all along.The lights overhead were too bright which made everything felt surreal. Like I was moving through a dream or a nightmare.We stopped outside a room which had ‘Trauma

Chapter 164 — Let's just focus on getting them both stable.

Author's POVWhile Mr. Pius Anders was waiting for his blood sample result, he felt all tensed.His leg bounced up and down and his hands kept clenching and unclenching. Meanwhile, his eyes shifted between the clock on the wall and the hallway where they'd taken his blood sample.Every second seemed like torture as he felt tears burn behind his eyes.A nurse approached him, although not the one who'd taken his blood but an older woman with kind eyes and graying hair."Mr. Anders?" She said softly.He looked up immediately. "Yes? Is there news? Is my daughter okay?""We are still running the tests on the blood sample, but I wanted to check on you. And make sure you're doing alright while you wait as I could see the way you are looking so tense."He let out a bitter laugh. "Alright? My daughter is in there fighting for her life and you're asking if I'm alright?"The nurse didn't flinch at his tone. She must have probably heard worse from worried family members."I understand this is dif

Chapter 165 — Mr. Pius Anders blood type is AB negative.

Author's POVNot long after, a nurse came out with a clipboard in her hand.Pius stood up immediately as his heart was pounding, knowing that must be the result of his blood type."Mr. Anders?" She said."Yes. What is the outcome of the result? What's my blood type?"She looked down at the paper, and then looked back up at him."Your blood type is AB negative, sir."Pius felt his stomach drop.‘AB negative. Not O negative. That means, it's not a match for Sophia.’He almost got angry at that moment as his hands subconsciously clenched into fists at his sides.After everything, after rushing here, after being tested, his blood couldn't even help his own daughter."That doesn't match my daughter's blood type." He said, his voice tight. "She needs O negative.""Yes, sir. I know. But—""But what?" He cut her off. "What good is my blood if I can't give it to her?"The nurse stayed calm as professionalism demands that at this point."Mr. Anders, your blood type matches the other victim invo

Chapter 166 — Are you Mr. Pius Anders?

Brad's POVI was glad when I got to know that Nicole already got a volunteer donor like the nurses explained and was now receiving the two pints of blood that she needed for the doctors to commence the treatment on her.And that was all the guarantee that I needed to know that Nicole would survive this.The relief that washed over me was almost physical and it felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest and I could finally breathe again.As at this point of how the blood came, I knew that the universe was working in our favor as everything actually happened so fast in the space of an hour or less after I got here.Even though how tense I had felt before now must have made it seem like it took longer time as every minute had felt like an hour and every second had stretched out into something unbearable.But now it was over, knowing that Nicole was getting the blood she needed.I couldn't be less grateful for how things aligned in place for me.Someone out there had the exact rare b

Chapter 167 — What a perfect timing!

Brad's POVI could bet that question caught him unaware, big time.His face shifted like he hadn't expected me to know about the rehab arrangement or more like he'd thought it was all kept a secret from the public."Honestly, I didn't mean it that way and don't get me wrong. I actually reached for a rehab counselor for her today but I didn't know how she managed to get out."His voice was defensive now, trying to explain and to justify."To the extent of getting herself involved in such a thing again. To be honest, Sophia has caused me so much pain that if not for her mum, I would have disowned her a long time ago."I watched him as he spoke and I saw the tiredness and the frustration in his eyes."Because sometimes I begin to ask myself and wonder how I was able to raise such a stubborn and nonchalant daughter."There was real bitterness in his voice now as if he had been carrying this weight for years and it had finally become too heavy."But since it has gotten to this point, then

Chapter 168 — He knew what?!

Brad's POVI pressed the answer button and brought the phone to my ear."Nicole, I hope you are ok!!! I hope you are not hurt!! You haven't been taking my calls! You…" Detective Joe's voice came out hastily, sounding all panicked like he'd been worried sick."Detective Joe, it's Brad." I interrupted him before he could continue.There was a pause on the other end and it all felt like it was a brief moment of confusion."Brad? Why do you have Nicole's phone? Where is she?"I took a breath and steadied myself for a while. "Nicole was involved in an accident with Sophia."The words felt heavy coming out of my mouth and it seemed real in a way they hadn't been before."I knew it. Oh my goodness."Wait. ‘He knew it?’My chest tightened at those words but I didn't say anything with regards to that immediately."Which hospital is she in now and what's her condition?" Detective Joe's voice was urgent and sounding sharp now."St. Mary's Medical Center. Her condition was bad as she urgently nee

Chapter 169 — I will need a DNA test once she gets stable.

Brad's POVAfter the call I had with Detective Joe, Mr. Pius was looking at me expectantly.Because I guess he'd just heard most of all I said to Detective Joe over the phone but there was no way he would know what Detective Joe had told me.But somehow he seemed all interested in it all as he felt it had something to do with Nicole and Sophia."What did he say?" Mr. Pius asked carefully. "I hear you calling him ‘detective.’ What did he tell you?"I hesitated for a moment, wondering how much to share.But then I figured he had a right to know. At least for the fact that his daughter was involved and de deserved to understand the full scope of what Sophia had done.I let him know that Detective Joe was the one who helped us to figure out that Sophia and her partners in crime were behind the accident I had.Mr. Pius's face went pale at once."The accident that put you in a coma?" He asked quietly."Yes. Sophia and two others drugged me after a match. They put something in my water and m

Chapter 170— Both girls are conscious now.

Author's POVThe transfusions had been running for over an hour now.In trauma bay one, Nicole's vital signs were being monitored closely. The machines beeped steadily and her blood pressure had started to climb back to normal levels.Dr. Martinez stood by her bedside, watching the monitors."BP is 110 over 70." A nurse reported. "Heart rate is steady at 82.""Good. What about the hemoglobin levels?"The nurse checked the latest lab results. "Coming up to 9.5. Much better than the 6.5 we started with."Dr. Martinez nodded. "The transfusion is working and so, you have to keep monitoring it. Let me know if anything changes."Across the hall in trauma bay two, Sophia was receiving similar treatment.Dr. Chen was overseeing her care. Watching as the O negative blood flowed into her veins."How's she doing?" He asked the attending nurse."BP is stabilizing. 105 over 68. Heart rate is 88.""Hemoglobin?""Up to 8.9 from 5.8. She's responding well to the transfusion."Dr. Chen checked Sophia'
