Chapter 15
******
Damien's POV
We got the hospital minutes later. All through the journey I kept praying for Seraphine to make it to the hospital because she had lost a lot of blood.
We got to the hospital,she was wheeled into the ER .
I couldn't stop pacing around the lounge, mother and Diane arrived some minutes later as well Seraphine's parents and oh well...my rival,Clark.
"It had better have nothing to do with you " He said in a serious tone as he confronted me on my way to the restroom.
The doctor came out sometimes later
"She would need blood because she lost a lot already "he said.
Clark didn't allow the doctor finish before saying "You can take mine"
The doctor smiled and said " Everyone would be tested and anyone eligible would then donate. Pls go see the nurse at the first room right down d hall".
We all filed to the office to get our blood drawn. The results came out and only I and her Dad was found 'worthy ' or let me say eligible to give our blood to her.
"Don't worry father let me donate the blood" I said to Seraphine's father. I could see Clark burning with anger all because I got to donate blood to her not him ,but he kept his cool not wanting to create unnecessary scene.
About a pint of my blood was drawn from me but I don't care as long as it'll make Seraphine live.

Seraphine's POV
The investigators came in just as my wound got cleaned.
" Can you give an account of everything that happened" Detective Bella Coleman, a pale looking lady with a short brown hair with freckles on her face said.
I heard she was nicknamed 'The sniffer'because she can sniff and fish out information from a person just by looking at their hair! well I think that's an exaggeration but she must be quite good at her job.
I explained everything I remembered to her and then she told me the driver has been missing for some days but assured me that she'd fish him out.
After the investigators left, a nurse came in announcing I'll be taking a shot. I hate getting shots ever since I was little,she told everyone to leave but I pleaded that mum should stay with me. Mum's presence has a way of soothing my pains.
I haven't told her all that happened at the Daniels,I wonder how she would react because she had gotten really close with Damien's mother.
I haven't seen Damien ever since I got to the hospital,He must've been avoiding me on purpose. Not seeing him makes me happy though because now I get to spend time with Clark.
Clark has been so helpful ever since I regained consciousness. I know Clark would never allow Damien and his family near me if I told him about everything that happened so I didn't tell him because I love seeing mother and Diane. I will tell him when the time comes.
The nurse was about to inject me.I looked up towards her and saw her hands trembling. I stopped her from giving me the shot,and I tried to engage her in a discussion so as to put her at ease,she's probably new to the job.
She was wearing a mask so I couldn't see her face well.
"What's your name " I said. She doesn't look at peace as I asked the question.
She faced me and said" I'm Maggie". For some reason her voice sounds familiar and wait....her eyes,I'm sure I've seen them somewhere.
"Pls can you lower your mask?" I said trying to see if I would remember something.
She then took the injection and dashed out of the room as soon as I asked.
As she was leaving she bumped into Clark at the door as he was about to enter. She bowed her head to apologize and then left. I was surprised at her reaction,why wouldn't she .....At that moment I remembered where I once saw those eyes. The assailant! the image of the lashes came flashing. He was a She all along.
I informed the police and the search for the was on. Why would anyone want me dead?, I kept worrying throughout the night.
The next day the police were still on the case. The thought of having my attacker still on the streets freaks me out.
Damien came as soon as he heard I was attacked once again,he kept talking to the police instructing them to get the assailant as soon as possible .
Grin! grin!!
Damien phone rings. I couldn't hear all he was saying on the phone because he was outside my room but I think I heard him say the word 'witness'.
There's a witness? I couldn't believe my ears.
Damien came in and told me he just got a call from the couple that saved me the night I was attacked saying they heard someone talk about seeing a female dressed in a raincoat go into the woods.
I was glad to hear the news. I told him to call detective Bella immediately. Clark came in seconds later. He left for his job yesterday and promised to come see me when he get back. he was surprised to see Damien.
He ignored him and walked up to me. "Are you okay " he asked. I nodded and smiled at him.
"Is this yours Seraphine?" Damien asked as he picks up an earring from the floor.
"No it isn't mine" I said after scanning the earring.
"Let me see" Clark said forcefully hijacking the earring from Damien.
"This earring looks familiar,it's just like Melody's " He said.
"Oh isn't that your wife?" Damien asked intentionally emphasizing on the word 'wife'.
We were interrupted by a call from detective "Bella,we got the culprit!"She said.
