The nurse smiles warmly at her and turns to leave. Malone got up from her lying position with quick agility while she had her whole face painted with fear and panic. She started removing the drip inserted in her veins, in a hurry, her eyes shuddering at the same time, the nurse turns around and stares in shock at her sudden action. "What are you doing?"
The nurse rushed towards her to stop her, her eyes filled with concern.
"I Need To Get To My Father!" Malone declares her hands and whole body vibrating. The nurse stares at her confusion obvious in her eyes. "You don't need to worry, he's been tended to in another ward." The nurse smiles warmly while assuring her. Malone scuffs and pushes her off her way and runs out of the ward in her hospital gown.
She runs directly to her father's ward. Her heart thumps hard and drops to her stomach. Her father's last words in her dream kept ringing in her ears, repeatedly.
[Take Care Of Yourself And Your Mother]
She shook her head profusely, never to believe anything, and ran directly to the ward. She seized her movement in shock as her eyes widened on seeing the back of a strange man in a black suit coming out of her father's hospital ward. "Who are you?" She managed to ask out loud.
The man stopped his movement for a few seconds and took to his heels the moment the digital life machine in the hospital ward started beeping. He rushes inside the elevator opposite the words. Malone breathes hard and starts to chase after him. But stops and turns around to check on her father, her eyes filled with tears. She rushes inside the ward only to receive another shock of her life.
"Daddy!" She cries out and places her palms on her lips. Her father was lying on the hospital bed with a bandage wrapped on him in his various wounds. His eyes were wide open staring at the sealing. His whole body convulsing on the hospital bed. She unknowingly finds herself standing so close to the hospital bed. "Da… ddy…" she hiccups as tears flow uncontrollably.
The doctors rush into the ward together with the nurses the moment they hear the alarm. They move to work immediately to attend to her father. As the nurses push her outside but her body remains stiff standing where she is.
They had no choice but to grab her by the arm and push her out.
She cried silently outside the ward as she watched the doctors move around her father's bed from the transparent door.
The doctors kept on doing their best until they all stood up straight and shook their heads silently. The beeper silently stops beeping. From the outside Malonie kept witnessing all that was going on, she saw the change in the atmosphere, and also she saw the doctor telling something to the nurse. Her whole body couldn't take in the panic growing in her. She dashes to the door, slapping her palms on the transparent door.
The doctors walk out of the ward with sad expressions. Malone look from one to another, her breath stuck in her throat. "Young Lady, we are sad to break this news to you, but… We Lost Him!" Malone's world stopped at that moment the doctors broke the news to her.
The doctor was taken aback when she grabs his collar, her eyes raking fire. "How? Why? I Don't Believe A Word You Say!" Malone screams so hard alerting the whole patient in the hospital. "Young Lady, You should calm down…" the doctor urges and he tries to pry her hands out of his collar. The security, seeing what was happening, rushed to help out.
They grab her two hands, even as she is fighting them off, kicking and struggling. The doctor shook his head again in sympathy and left from there. Malone cried out and slams herself to the ground. Making everyone gasp in shock. She didn't dare go inside her father's ward, as she was not brave enough to admit the painful reality.
She curled up her legs to her knees to her stomach as she lay down sideways crying her heart out, her body shaking profusely.
The Nurse from before finally arrives in front of Malone's father's ward. She witnesses everything that went on. She couldn't stand seeing her so broken and walked toward her and calmly brought her hand on top of her shoulder. "Hey, it's okay. Try and get a hold of yourself." She pleads with her in a gentle voice.
Malonie yells out at the top of her voice without caring to know who. "Don't touch me!" The nurse went stiff as her palms hung mid-air. Sympathy is obvious in her eyes as she looks down at Malonie who curls herself up like a poor soul crying herself out. She slowly shook her head. Malonie kept on crying and curling up herself more.
She grabs the collar of her hospital wear, folding them roughly on her neck in frustration together with heartbreak. Nobody dared to come close to her seeing her painful expression and condition. The nurse herself gathered herself to stand up. She sighs again in sympathy and rubs her sweaty palms on her knees and stands up.
In front of Malone's father's hospital ward, a few people are standing either by the side, center, or sitting along the corridor. While each of them were showing a sign of pity and sadness. While some are already aware of the couple's life lost in the accident involving her father. They had scornful expressions on their faces.
Malonie's painful cries filled the whole foyer.
She never cared about anything at that moment as her world now revolves around her father's death.
Just at that moment, her mother walks into the scene with the detectives. Her eyes widened at what was happening before her. Her daughter lying down on the floor, in her hospital wear, looking broken. Lots of emotion surging through her mind.
"What's going on here?" She retorts in a mellow and frantic voice, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
