Alex was feeling really bad for sending them alone. He should have gone with them. What Alex bothered him more was Meg not telling him about the issue with the patient. He felt like he didn't care about Meg properly.
Meg's chief called,
"Hello, Doc,"
"How is Meg? Did you find her?"
"We are still on our way, but how did you know?"
"Ben called me and told me. Let me know the location so I can send the special team to get him,"
"Doc, did you know about this before?"
"Well, this patient had been a bit unstable and had been bothering Meg a little. So I sent him to the special care unit from where he was discharged a few days ago,"
"OK Doc, I will send you the location and I hope you can give her a few weeks off. So she can recover from the shock,"
"Yes sure, Alex. I will come and see her in the evening,"
"Thank you, Doc,"
Alex looked at the GPS, they were coming near the location.
"Sir we are almost there,"
"The hospital will send a special team"
"ok, sir,"
The police went in and after a fight they captured him. While Alex went into the room where Meg was tied by her hands to the back and with cloth stuff inside her mouth. He quickly removed the ropes and released her. She was in shock and didn't utter a word in response.
"You'll be ok my tomboy," said hugging her tight and taking her to the hospital.
Her chief personally attended to her while Alex briefed Ben about what happened. Meg was given a sleeping drug to let her relax.
"Hi," said Alex looking at Meg who just woke up.
"Are you feeling ok?"
"Hmm,"
"Can you tell me what really happened?"
"As soon as I left the washroom he dragged me out and took me to that place. He said I was the reason he was sick and have to pay back for what he had,"
"You don't need to worry. He is sent to another hospital," said Alex worried that this might take some time to heal.
"Can I go home?"
"No dear you need to stay here for a few days before we go home, ok"
With that, she fell back to sleep. But holding Alex's hand tight that if he moves she might fall off the bed.
"Alex,"
"Oh, Ben,"
"How is she, did she tell anything?"
"Still nothing, kind of in a shock, as the doc said,"
"Alex we bought some clothes for you if you want to freshen up and grab a bite with Ben, I will be with her,"
"The team will be near the door," I said as Alex looked like he didn't want to leave. But after a few minutes, he agreed.
I went out with Alex and we headed to the cafe to grab something to eat.
"How could this happen?" I asked.
"It seems that man had been following her for a while,"
"So where is he now?"
"Send to a special care hospital far away, it seems he had been going through some serious mental health issues,"
Suddenly Ben's phone rang,
"We'll be there Sarah,"
Come let's go, Meg has awake and seems to be in a bad mood,"
On the way, they met the Doctor, who explained that she is a bit traumatized, by what happened and these kinds of spells will be there for a time being. Apart from tieing her up, she had a few bruises on her back that will need time to heal.
"HI, sweety," said Alex holding her tight while letting her calm down.
"He tried to kill me, he said I made him ill for no reason and I have to pay for the sins I had done,"
"Shhh...ok..."
"I didn't know he had an unbalanced mind,"
"Everything is alright, Meg,"
"I..I...."
When Alex looked at her she was fast asleep in his hands.
The police interrogated the suspect. And got to know he had been doing something with a few other physicians at the center he had stayed earlier. But this was the first time he had tried to harm someone. The further the investigations went they found out that the patient's daughter was like Meg and she had abandoned her father after knowing his illness.
"That's too sad," said Sarah.
"Hmm, let's do something. We'll send him to the best care house, so they will look after him," Said Ben. Which was agreed upon by Alex as well.
They settled him, into the care unit and with the chief doctor's help. And made sure his daughter visit him at least once a month. Alex drops the charges against him as he was a patient who needs care rather than a lawsuit.
Meg was scared most of the time. Her parents and Alex's parents came to stay with them and take care of her. Meanwhile, Ben handled the office work and took care to look after Sarah. She was feeling guilty for not letting the security go with them.
