Mathilda
The couch comes in again, and my heart immediately goes up to my chest when I whirl my head around and see it's James coughing.
His body immediately stops as if sensing I just saw him. Is this a trick or what? Did I imagine it or I am beginning to have hearing problems?
"Hands on his chest, quick!" Doctor Robin yells as he rushes to James' side.
I threw my hands over James' chest and start giving him chest compression because he has suddenly gone quiet. Like dead again.
"Can you step aside?" Doctor Robin asks me, "let me take over," I am sweating profusely as I pant and puff out heavy breaths, praying James Vanderbilt doesn't completely give in to death. It seems the antidote is working because he was completely dead some minutes ago.
I stop to check on his pulse as Doctor Robin takes over.
And it's not moving.
My heart immediately slams down my ribcage.
