Chapter 8 - Will he make it?

"Call the ambulance right now! He might die if he doesn't get medical attention right now ", Mrs Phillips shouted for help

Kel and Melia Phillips, her kids, aged eight and six respectively lived with her , just behind Miller's mansion.

One morning the two were about leaving for school ,when Melia showed her brother a lifeless body laying at their porch.

Kel immediately drew his mom's attention as he saw the body was already bleeding badly.

It was then the attention of the neighbors around was drawn to her house , everyone kept staring at the body, whispering and waiting for the most reasonable one to call the ambulance.

Mrs Phillips proceeded to check the body , he was definitely still alive and so was he half dead as well.

"Melia ! Go get my phone right now!", Mrs Phillips requested her daughter.

The little girl didn't utter a word, her legs did the talking, she ran like the wind and at the speed of light brought back her mom's phone to the scene.

"Mom...phone", Melia said as she stretched out her hand to give her mom the phone.

Mrs Phillips quickly jacked the phone out of Melia's little hand, and with her nervous fingers dialed 911 , all that was on her mind was that he must surely survive.

The boy's body reminded her of how brutally her womb opener was murdered by her ex husband , if he was alive , he would certainly be the same age with the injured boy.

"M...mom...will he make it ", Kel squivered in fear .

"Yes...my boy ..he will", Mrs Phillips said as she gently tried to rub of the blood from his face.

Her motherly instincts played tricks on her , it was like her son's dead body was the one laying on her laps.

"Give way everyone !"

A man from the bus whose siren soon drew everyone's attention said as he ordered his team to get a stretcher to the injured body.

"Finally they're here",Mrs Phillips heaved a sigh of relief. She was soon beginning to lose her patience.

The wheels of the car bed soon reached Mrs Phillips door mat , and two men assisted in carrying the bleeding boy.

Mrs Phillips on the other hand quickly instructed her kids to stay indoors till she returned from the hospital.

"Kel, I want you and your sister to listen closely, under no circumstance should you open the door to anyone or even think of leaving the house till I return , am I clear?", Mrs Phillips warned .

"Yes mom!", they both chanted.

Mrs Phillips wrapped her hands tightly around her kids , her thoughts were still on the injured boy , she didn't notice the tears running down her face.

The siren of the ambulance broke up the hug and Mrs Phillips hurried to get to the back of the bus where the boy laid .

The bang of the back of the bus , soon intiated the movement of the bus and zoom it was out of sight .

Mrs Phillips neighbor's didn't stay there either , one by one they left the two little confused children whose mother left in an ambulance.

"K..Kel..Im really scared..what if he dies", Melia cried as she hugged her brother tightly.

"Mom said he won't die, and I believe her , so don't be scared doll , he'll be fine",Kel replied with a half smile across his lips.

"Doll! Did you just call me a doll", Melia's eye brows raised in anger.

"Yup, I did and what'll you do about it",Kel said laughing .

"When you look for your toys, then you'll know where to find me ", Melia's said as she set to get the door.

"Is that a threat!", Kel flamed.

"Its anything you choose to call it Barbie boy", Melia laughed out .

"Says the girl who has a store of Fresno doll collection in her closet",Kel mocked.

"That's it !, no more playing Miss nice sister with you , say your last prayers to your Transformer collection", Melia said as she takes her heels to the door.

Kel runs behind her .

On the other hand , the ambulance already reached the hospital . The patient was rushed directly to the emergency ward , with Mrs Phillips following them directly behind .

The door to the ward was shut close when she tried to enter .

A nurse came directly to Mrs Phillips.

"Ma'am could I please take your details ?", The nurse requested.

Mrs Phillips didn't utter a single word.

"What's your name and the name of your son?", she asked again .

But Mrs Phillips was lost in her world of thoughts ,she was staring at the door that was between her and the injured boy.

She soon left her realm of thoughts as the nurse placed her hand of Mrs Phillips shoulder.

"Is everything alright ma'am? I just wanted to get your name and the name of the patient as well", The nurse asked softly.

"I'm Mrs Martha Phillips, and the boy...I really don't know his name", Martha said as she cleaned her face.

"I don't understand ma'am, isn't he your son?", the nursed asked confused .

"No he isn't in any way related to me", Martha said .

"So you don't know anything about him?",the nurse questioned again .

"No, I don't",Martha answered coldly.

The nurse's eye jamed Marthas' , she was definitely shocked , Martha's reaction to the situation betrayed her answer , only a mother could behave the way she did.

"Ma'am , please fill the form sign below ", the nurse handed a form to Martha .

Without saying a word back to her , Martha signed it and gave it back to her. The nurse soon left after comforting Martha .

"I pray nothing happens to him, please protect him", Martha cried as she look up the ceiling .

After thirty minutes of Martha's long wait, a male doctor popped out of the emergency ward . Martha didn't waste another second to sit , she blocked the doctor's path immediately.

"Doctor...please tell me , how is he doing , I really need to know", Martha begged .

"Humph...look ma'am I and my team are doing our best to revive him, we aren't certain of anything yet, all we know is that his condition is very critical and he may end up not surviving this.", the doctor replied as he quickly walked away from her .
