when Karina got to the hospital, she met her dad in an oxygen to mask and he was coughing out blood and the doctors were around him trying to give him more time
" what is going on!?, how did it get like this? why is my father like this!?"
the nurse stopping her from entering the room had to reply her
" i was cleaning him up and giving his his meds as usual and the next thing i noticed was that his pulse was going higher and he started coughing, the doctors are trying to stop the cough and the blood but it's proving difficult"
" please do what you can, I cant loose him"
" ma'am this is not about that, he needs the accurate treatment or he might die"
" no i can't loose him, excuse me" not knowing what to do she picks up her phone and makes a call,(ring)(ring)
" Jayden cooperation, you have reached the reception desk, how may i help you?".
" hi, i want to talk to Eagan Jayden, tell him is Karina"
" okay miss Karina, do you have an appointment?"
"no, but he will take my call, please help me"
" okay, hold just a sec(the secret goes into the private office) Mr. Jayden, sorry to disrupt your meeting, there is a girl on the line, her name is Karina, she said you will take her call"
Eagan was surprised but he masked it with curiosity " ok, transfer the call"
the secretary went back to the office " hello miss Karina, are you there?"
" yes i am"
" okay, my boss will take your call so i will transfer it now"
" (crying)thank you"
the secretary transferred the call and Eagan picked it at the first ring
" so eager to hear my voice are we?"
" help me please (crying)"
" hey, don't cry, nothing is supposed to make you cry, well except me"
"(crying) my dad is dying, i need money, please help me"
" nothing goes for nothing darling "
" you can have anything you want, my body, my high school certificate, anything but please help me(crying)
" okay, which hospital?"
" St Augustine"
" hold on a minute (takes his intercom and gives and order) make a call to St. Augustine and tell them that Mr. Mayers must be treated well as i will be paying his bills, whatever it will take for him to be better they should do it, i need first class treatment (from the other side "okay boss") done, i will send you an address, once you find out that the treatment worked well and your father is stable bid him goodnight and meet me that that address, don't keep me waiting (cuts the call) finally, I will have you"
at the hospital, karina was crying while the doctors move Mr Meyers to a special since it has turned to a special case.
3hours later, they were able to relieve Mr. Mayers and he requested to see his daughter. Karina was relieved when she saw her father on the bed, color has returned to his face
" daddy!"
" my daughter, what have you done, what did you do that made them change my ward, don't think i didn't know where I was staying before, i told you to let me be, i don't deserve your kindness"
" no dad, you do, i took a loan, and I promise them to pay back once you are well"
" okay, Karina, i have something to tell you,of anything happens to me, my safety box is yours, anything you see there, I'm sorry "
" dad don't talk like that, we will go home together, daddy, i have to go I'm o. shift, please rest , i will be back tomorrow "
" ok, i love you Karina"
" i love you too papa"
when karina left the hospital, she went straight to the address believing that when Eagan see her like that she won't be enticing in his eyes........
