Chapter 12
*At the hospital*
"We've checked his vitals today , he's responding to treatment so that should be a relief , we have a little problem tho ", the doctor said.
Martha was already too worried about the child's health to hear any other problems about him .
"And what is that Doctor Ken ", Martha managed to say out .
"You know , due to his internal injuries , he's lost a lot of blood , and his blood type is quite rare , so he needs a family member who can donate some blood for him , I'm sure you understand that ma'am "
"I understand, what's his blood type?",Martha proceeded to ask .
"Its O negative , very rare as I said earlier , so can you get me any fa....
" I'm O negative as well , I really dont mind donating blood to him doctor ",Martha swiftly interrupted.
Doctor Ken took a second to look at Martha , he was shocked that a non relative could do such for that patient.
"Alright , I'll give you some papers and you head to the Lab to test your blood , if you're fit to donate blood then that will be more than enough to save the boy's life .", Doctor Ken said bringing out a smile as he entered back into the Ward.
"Oh good lords , thank goodness , the boy will be alright , I feel so much relieved now ", Martha said placing her hands crossed together on her chest .
"I better head to the Lab , he needs to be fine , I just hope he recovers quickly , his parents would be worried sick about him , I bet they would have already reported the case to the police, but how do I even contact them.", Martha thought to herself as she walked down to the lab .
.................................
*Close to the Laboratory *
Two nurses were rushing hurriedly with an emergency patient on a stretcher .
Martha mistakenly bumps into the stretcher .
"I'm really sorry , I didn't notice the stretcher ahead ",Martha apologized as she entered another lane .
The nurses didn't even mind Martha , the patient's life was at stake and that was what they cared about . They continued to roll the stretcher wheels towards the emergency ward.
Martha took another look at the patient on the stretcher, she noticed it was a young girl , about the same age of the boy she brought to the hospital two days ago .
Her eyes met Azora's from a far distance and Martha was startled .
"Geez, I wonder what could have happened to her , and i also wonder why her eyes are opened , a lot really happen these days , just take a look at me , I'm fending for the health of a child i barely know what happened to", Martha thought .
"Doctor please save her , I beg you , she's all i have left in this world , I'll die if something happens to her , please save the life of this child , I'm begging you " , middle aged Maurice pleaded with folded palms in front of a female doctor she saw walking by.
Martha looked waggled in confusion , she recognized the face of the begging woman but she had no idea where she had seen her from.
Her brain clicked and she remembered seeing and talking to her in a grocery store same two days ago .
"Isn't she ....
*Phone rings *
Martha quickly takes out her phone from her purse and answers the call.

*The call cuts *
"I can't believe I almost forgot I had kids at home waiting for me ", Martha said letting out a laugh.
Her face once again turned cold as she looked in the direction of the long gone stretcher . She tried checking the left turn and right turn but she saw absolutely no one not to talk of an emergency patient on a stretcher .
"They must have reached the emergency ward by now , well I guess I'll get to see them some other day ",Martha thought as she headed for the Lab .
