Chapter 53 - Rescue!

"Sh1t! Sh1t! Sh1t!" The good looking man in the sportscar can't help but curse.

Vrooom!

'The hospital is just up ahead! I'd rush this old woman first! If CPR was not done in 2 minutes tops she'll start to be brain dead!' The sportscar sped past the halted intersection and went straight to the hospital who was around 300 meters from the intersection.

Bee... Bee... Beep!

The good looking man pressed his horn multiple times as soon as they arrived at the hospital's emergency entrance. The guard in charge approached fast and help the good looking man in carrying the old woman.

"Owen, I can manage! Ready the ambulance team and tell them that we'll depart immediately! There is an accident nearby!" The good looking man ordered the guard. The guard nodded as he approached the 'on-standby' ambulance and the emergency and rescue team.

"CARSON! CARSON! Hurry! CPR! CPR!" The man shouted as a nurse approached them. The good looking man placed the old woman in a vacant hospital bed as a middle-aged Filipino went out of a curtain, that separates different emergency patients in the emergency room, and rushed towards the good looking man.

"Young Master!" Carson placed his hand on the old woman's chest and started doing CPR as the nurse place an instrument in the old woman and activated the Electrocardiogram (EKG) machine.

"How long since she was unresponsive? ... JEFFERSON! Intubate her! Fast!" Carson asked as sweat started to appear on his face as he continued to do CPR. A younger-looking doctor arrived and followed immediately.

"FIVE MINUTES! Carson... I'll leave this one to you! There's an accident nearby... I need to go! NURSE! CALL THE CHIEF! ANOTHER EMERGENCY PATIENT WOULD BE HERE IN MINUTES!" The guard entered the emergency room as the ambulance stopped in front of the emergency room's entrance.

"Hah... Hah... Hah... Close! Good thing, Young Master was able to bring her here, else she would have been brain dead if CPR wasn't done in six minutes! Get the defibrillator ready!" Carson kept doing CPR as the nurse took the defibrillator.

*Sob... Sob...

The young man was crying as he watches his grandmother was being resuscitated.

"Gonna be back kid! Gotta rescue that elder brother who helped you earlier!" The good looking man patted the kid's shoulder as he runs out of the emergency room and hopped to the front seat of the ambulance.

Wang! Wang! Wang! Wang!

The Ambulance started it siren and left the hospital. The young man glanced at the ambulance that departed as his cry started to subside.

...

A moment earlier...

"Good thing we head out early and purchase it ahead of the crowd" A Filipina woman in her forties chuckled as their van was stocked in the heavy traffic. She was sitting in the passenger seat beside the driver who was also a Filipina woman in her forties. At the passenger seat at the back of the van were two young women who were hyped by the announcement of their school.

"Else, we would have had a hard time securing one, if we didn't!" The driver agreed in response as she scratched her head out of frustration to the heavy traffic.

"Sis! I can't wait for tonight!" The young woman sitting on the left side uttered excitedly as he glances to the perpendicular side of the intersection. Their van was about four vehicles away from the intersection.

"Me too!" The young woman sitting in her right replied and seemed to blush a bit.

"You young women! It doesn't mean that the school required you to play that game that you would neglect your studies!" The elder Filipina scolded the two young woman behind.

"Yes, Aunt!"

"Of course, Mom!"

The two young women answered in unison as they wore an awkward smile inside.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A car kept honking as its hazard lights were blinking. The car counter flowed and was able to pass through and speed up to the intersection as the sports car behind it, stopped momentarily because of a motorcycle that suddenly appeared. The four women's attention was shifted to the two-car who seemed to be in a rush.

"Sis Sabrina! Ain't that classmate Pedro's car?" Loren, the young woman sitting at the left side (Behind the driver), pointed to the white Toyota that sped in the parallel road lane.

"AX# #4#7! It is his car!" Sabrina read the plate number on the white Toyota's back and affirmed with an intrigued look.

'What is he doi...'

"WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The driver of their van, Sabrina's mom, shouted as her gaze was caught to the incoming full-speed truck.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaag!

Bag! Bag! Bag! Bag! Bag!

"Oh my God!" The three women in the van, except Sabrina, was shocked beyond belief to what just happened. Sabrina's mind went blank as he stares at the upside-down car of Pedro.

Vroom!

The sportscar passed through the intersection in top speed.

Woog!

"Where are you going, Sabrina!!!" The silence in the van was shattered by Sabrina as she rushed out of the van and ran toward's Pedro's car. Her mother was surprised by her actions and shouted as she tried to halt her daughter.

"You guys, stay here! I'll go get Sabrina!" Sabrina's mother took off her seatbelt and chased after Sabrina. Loren and his mother looked at each other like saying 'My God! what is happening?'.

"Loren! Call an ambulance! You know the number right? I'll call your uncle, for help! He must be at the police station right now! He may ask help from a nearby police station!" the two held their phones and started pressing the screen in a panicked manner.

...

'Pedro! Please... be safe!' Sabrina ran at her full speed but still with the care of her surroundings as tears start to fall from her eyes.

*Sniff...

"Pedro! Pedro!" Sabrina used her arm to wipe her teary eyes. She knelt down, not minding the shattered glass in the floor from the car's windows, and peeked inside the overturned car on the driver's side.

She saw the unconscious Pedro with blood all over his head! Luckily, the truck hit the right side of Pedro's car, which was the front passenger seat in the Philippines, and he was wearing his seatbelt. The right side of his car was wrecked and bend inwardly. The front door was broke off and was thrown a few meters away while the back passenger door was barely hanging from the car.

'No! No! No!' Sabrina inserted her hand in the broken window near Pedro as she tried to search for the lock of the door. She didn't mind the sharp glasses left in the broken window that caused her some shallow cuts as blood came out from her left hand.

Tock!

The door's lock was opened as Sabrina grabs the door's handle and opened the door.

'Oh my God!' At this moment, Sabrina's mother was able to catch up and saw the critical looking Pedro upside down.

"Stop, Sabrina!" Her mother pulled one of Sabrina's arm as she tried to pull Pedro out of the car by removing his seatbelt first. Sabrina glanced with a furious look as her mother tightens her grip to her arm.

Wang! Wang! Wang! Wang!

"Let them rescue him!" Her mother bluffed as the rescuers and the good looking man approached them with a stretcher. Her mother didn't want Sabrina to be involved any further, besides, the first thing needed to do after an accident was to call the police.

"Stop! You must call the police first!" A bystander stopped the rescue team as the good looking man held his phone and shot pictures on all angle at the scene.

'YOU!' Sabrina's eyes were full of killing intent as she stares to the bystander and grasped her hand tight.

"Don't mind him! Continue! I'll handle those matters! If the police arrive, give them this!" The good looking man gave the bystander a calling card.

Minutes later, Pedro was finally placed into a stretcher and was being carried into the ambulance.

"Are you related to him or recognizes him?" The good looking man approached Sabrina and her mom.

"Mm..." Sabrina nodded in response as her mother was astounded by her actions.

'She must be his fiance of some sort! The way she acted just to rescue him... their relationship must be that close!' The man rubbed his chin as he stares at Sabrina.

"Then follow me to the ambulance... your shallow cuts must be addressed and disinfected too!" The good looking man walked towards the ambulance as Sabrina faced her mother.

"Mom! I gotta go!" Sabrina wore a gloomy look as her mother felt the sadness in her eyes.

'She's grown up!'

"Go on!" Her hesitant mother could only wear an awkward smile as Sabrina went to the ambulance. The back door of the ambulance was closed and they departed immediately. Sabrina's mother walked back to their van as the intersection was still paralyzed after being blocked by a ten-wheeler truck.
