The nurse named Regina and Evelyn looked at each other with surprise and uncertainty.
"That. That wasn't a ghost, right? My Vanessa wasn't fake, right? My Vany can't walk for now. How did she muster strength in her legs and ...."Evelyn was cut off by the nurse.
"No dilly-dallying. After her"Regina screamed and both ran out of the room in haste.
Evelyn caught a glimpse of Vanessa making a bend and they ran in her direction.
They were extremely worried about Vanessa.
Vanessa is a patient and Evelyn's best buddy. None of them could lose Vanessa.
It got to the point where, Evelyn had to take off her heels, put them in hand and continue the chase.
Vanessa, on the other hand, kept running but not aimlessly.
She ran towards the direction of Lisa's room and stopped exactly opposite the room which was left unlocked and turned to see a little girl lying unconscious in bed. She felt much more pain in her chest and immediately concluded that this was the girl.
She turned around and saw that Evelyn and Regina were coming although their speed had slowed down because they were getting tired.
"Stop right there Vanessa, stop"Evelyn yelled.
"Don't you move. Stop"Regina yelled.
Vanessa shook her head and entered the little girl's room then she locked the door and kept the key in her pocket.
She walked slowly to where the girl lay.
Her lips and skin had become pale and her body was a bit cold.
Vanessa parted the hair that covered the little girl's face and her eyes widened in surprise.
"Lisa?" she cried out upon recognizing the little girl.
