Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Gasp, Gasp, Margaux woke up to the shaky gasps of her mother, she worried about her, she seemed more and more fatigued as each day passed by, she grew more lean, spoke and ate less. Margaux decided to sleep with her mother today just to make her feel better, she moved closer to her mother as she listened to her measured breaths and then she wasn't breathing again

"Mother!"

Silence

"Mother" Margaux called her voice shaky and cracking as her heart pounded faster threatening to burst out of her chest.

Suddenly her mothers body convulsed then she began to cough out blood. Her leukemia was acting up again. She was disoriented, the thought of her mother dying shook her. A harsh stench filled the air and her stomach churned, her hands trembled as she quickly carried her phone to call emergency services, her fingers nearly dropping the phone as she dialed 911. Within minutes, emergency services arrived and she was transported to the hospital with margaux by her side holding her hand in the ambulance and praying all through.

Her mother was taken to an emergency room and was stabilized. The doctor came out and gave margaux reports of her mother's condition.

"How much is the fee"Margaux asked the doctor her voice breaking. It was obvious she had been crying as her eyes were all red and swollen.

"The bills have been taken care of"The doctor replied her.

"By who"

"I'm sorry, i'm not at liberty to say"The doctor replied then proceeded to leave, Margaux wanted to interrogate the doctor more about this mysterious helper. Who is this person? Why did he help us? Many thoughts ran through her mind but the questions will have to wait as her mother was her priority now. She had to see her or her heart which hurt terribly won't be at ease.

Margaux went into her mothers ward and found her sleeping, an oxygen mask on her face as the sun slightly shone on her body revealing her pale skin. Her once supple, red lips were now really dry. Tears filled her eyes as she approached her mother, she knew her mother had just little time left, it is only a matter of time befor.. she shaked her head violently as tears started streaming down her eyes,she didn't deserve any of this, not her, not her mother. She was so angry, angry at herself and the universe. Angry for being helpless and not being able to do anything to help her mother. She sat and cried her eyes out, her head on her mothers lap until she fell asleep.
