Three Days later
When Sabrina was released from prison,she was horribly beaten and tortured.
Her whole body was covered in bruises.Even her legs was broken and she was limping as she stood at the counter to sign her release papers.
She was too weak because of that,she had to lean on the counter while waiting for the police.
The officer in charge was still not satisfied with the ill treatment vented on Sabrina the last three days.
She scowled at her as she hand the papers over to Sabrina.
Sabrina took it and diligently signed on it while whining in pain due to the injuries on her body.
"You better don't come back here.Otherwise,you might not be lucky enough to leave this place alive the next time you showed up here!"
Sabrina didn't bother to look up at her face despite the hurtful comments she received from the woman in front of her.
After signing the papers,Sabrina took her properties and left the station.
It was after she stood at the cross road that the fear of what her son might have been through glimmered through her eyes.
At the thought of this,she flagged down a cab and rushed to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the entrance to the hospital she realized she didn't have any money on her.
Not sure what to do,she took of her earrings and handed them over to the driver before she left for the hospital.
Her heart was pounding heavily in her chest as she ran towards Sage's ward.
It's been three days already and something might have happened to her son because she wasn't able to arrange for the surgery.
The doctor had told her that it was dangerous if there was a delay in carrying out the surgery.
Not only did she not show up to make arrangements for the surgery,there was even a possibility that she might never get the money for the procedure.
It was careless of her.She blamed herself even more.
"Doctor,how is my son doing?" Sabrina asked with uncertainty as she arrived at the entrance to Sage's room then saw the doctor.
The doctor was on her way out of the room with a look of dejection on her face.
Upon seeing Sabrina. Her face lit up in anger and scolded Sabrina.
"Do you still remember you have a child? How careless of you to abandon your sickly son for three whole days without a care.Why do you bother even coming here? Go! Go have some more fun at the expense of your son's life".
The doctor was angry and scolded Sabrina for her mistakes but Sabrina didn't say a word.
"Doctor, please tell me is my son fine?"
Sabrina didn't mind being scolded.She was only concerned the condition that her son was in.
Without saying anything the doctor pulled the door and entered the room where Sage was.
Standing in front of the pale looking child,the doctor was angered once more.
"There is a lean chance that he might survive but if we could get the surgery done in twenty four hours.If we fail to do then,I'm sorry but I can't guarantee his safety–".
Dr Foster stopped talking and looked at Sabrina,who was a terrible state.She hasn't noticed that the woman was in a bad shape earlier and now that she noticed,her heart clenched.
"Mrs.Sheldon,is everything alright with you? I mean why did you not show up after you went back to arrange for the money.Also,Mr.Sheldon stopped the special treatment for your son and because of that his condition has worsened.I'll implore you to treat your matters with caution and don't hurt the child!"
"Don't worry about it,I'll arrange for the money. Just give me a little more time" Sabrina said.
"Time is what we don't have.The last time you disappeared for three days,that was enough time to save your son.How long will you go for this time?"
The doctor was clearly concerned about the health of the child and she was not willing to take any chances with his survival.
"I won't take long this time.Please look after my child while I'm gone"
"Sure,it's my job.I hope you are not too late this time,Ms.Winters"
After saying that,Dr.Foster examined Sage while Sabrina sat with his fingers in her hands.
Her eyes were red and teary but the pain in her heart was worse compared to her physical pain.
After examining the patient's condition,Dr.Foater left the room along with the nurse.
Leaving only Sabrina and Sage inside the room.She blamed herself for the condition that Sage was in .
" I'm sorry son,this is all my fault. You are in this condition all because of me. I'm sorry for dragging you down with me. I should've been paying for what I did. I should! I should be punished instead I'm sorry, Sage."
Sabrina held the Childs fingers in her hands as she cried and regretted everything that happened in the last couple of days.
in the past, Sage Sheldon was a bubbly, cheerful child die lit up the entire room, whenever he's around he was the center of attention and the carry of affection. he was young, yet sensible, caring and smart.
He was so big, beautiful and lovely adorable. even though you were just a boy of two years old, he was not like other kids who are smarter than others, and learn to speak faster than everyone else.
He learn to speak when was he was just nine months old Sabrina could clearly remember the first time he call out to her saying
"m-ma"
Sabrina teared up remembering his lovely smile and her heart hurts seeing the pale looking boy on the bed right in front of her.
He was not her child! He was not Sage Sheldon.
Sabrina stood up after a while and covered the child with a duvet covering his chest.
"I won't let anything happen to you,Sage!"
