A car had almost run Charlene over; she was lost in thought, and the shock made her collapse instantly. Fortunately, it wasn't a hit-and-run. The driver hurriedly rushed out of the car, some pedestrians also came to his aid. They helped him carry Charlene into the car, and he rushed her to the hospital.
At the hospital, a doctor and nurses were attending to her, she was still unconscious. Soon, the doctor came out of the emergency room, he walked up to the driver and asked;
" Were you the driver who almost ran her over?"
" Yes doctor, how is she faring now?" The man asked, looking worried.
" She will be fine; she only passed out due to the shock; she will regain consciousness soon." The doctor said, nodding his head.
" Ok, doctor." The man said he sounded relieved.
" Have you been able to reach any of her friends or family?" The doctor asked.
" No, not yet, nobody has called her phone." The man replied.
" Ok, let me have the phone. I'll take it back to the emergency room so that I can unlock it with her face or fingerprint." The doctor said as he stretched his hand to collect the phone from the man.
He collected the phone and took it to the emergency room where Charlene was. Shortly, he came back with the phone, it was unlocked. He and one of the nurses searched through the phone and the last person she called was Keller, so they dialed his number.
" Hello, please is this Mr. Keller on the line?" The doctor asked.
" Yes, it's Keller; who am I speaking with?" Keller asked from the other end of the phone.
" Who's that?" Laura and Cherry chorused in the background of the call.
" I don't know," Keller whispered.
" I"m Dr Augustine calling from St Mary's Hospital. There's a lady here with us. From her ID card in her purse, we found out her name was Charlene. She was rushed in here some minutes ago, a … … … … … … … …"
" What! Charlene in the hospital? How come? What happened to her? When did it happen? How is she now? What's the name of the hospital?" Keller asked from the other end of the call, looking anxious.
" Charlene? What happened to her?" Cherry asked loudly in the background of the call.
" Please calm down Mr. Keller. A car almost ran her over, so she passed out due to the shock. She's still unconscious though, but we need you here." Dr. Augustine said.
" Doctor, what's the name of the hospital again?" Keller asked, breathing heavily.
His breathing could be heard on the call.
" St Mary's Hospital." Dr. Augustine said.
" Ok, I will be there shortly," Keller said and hung up
" What happened to her?" Laura asked as he dropped the call.
" A car almost ran her over and she's unconscious at the moment," Keller answered and dashed out of the room.
" Wait!" Laura and Cherry chorused as they quickly ran after him.
Soon, he reached the car, and Laura and Cherry joined him. He fumbled for the keys and, with trembling hands, started the engine. The roar of the air filled the air as he sped away
Shortly after they arrived at the hospital, Keller rushed to the reception, where he was told that Charlene had been taken to the ward. He hurriedly went in search of the ward she was in, Laura and Cherry followed him.
They found the ward Charlene was in; they got into the wardroom and found the doctor with her; Charlene had just regained consciousness.
" Charlene! Charlene!! Are you okay? How are you faring now?" Keller asked, breathing heavily.
" Welcome Mr. Keller." Dr Augustine said.
" Oh! You're Dr. Augustine; please, how is she now?" Keller asked.
" As you can see, she's fine. She just regained consciousness but first let me ask, "Who are you to her?" Dr. Augustine asked.
" I'm her man," Keller said firmly.
" What do you mean by that? You're her boss, and that's all," Cherry said angrily.
" Cherry, I'm who I said I was to her, and it's none of your business. Doctor, she's my girlfriend." Keller said with a straight face.
" Doctor, what are they doing here? Why did you call me?" Charlene said weakly.
" Calm down, Miss Charlene, you needed a family member or friend to be here, so we had to put a call through; we called him because he was the last person you called and from the emojis, it shows that he's your boyfriend. Mr. Keller, can you see me in my office, please?" Dr. Augustine said.
" Ok doc… … … … … … …"
" No doctor, say whatever you want to tell him here." Charlene interrupted Keller.
" Do you want me to say it here, Charlene?" Dr. Augustine asked softly.
" Yes!" Charlene answered weakly.
" Ok, Mr. Keller and Miss Charlene, I'm sorry, you lost the pregnancy." Dr. Augustine said.
" What!" Everyone chorused.
" What pregnancy are you talking about, doctor?" Cherry asked, looking confused.
" This is not Scarlett on the bed, this is Charlene, so what pregnancy are you talking about, doctor?" Laura asked, looking eager for an answer.
" No, doctor, I wasn't pregnant. So, what are you saying?" Charlene asked weakly.
" Miss Charlene, you were four weeks pregnant before the accident." Dr Augustine replied to her.
" What!" Everyone chorused.
" No this can't be happening. Keller, you also got her pregnant? So if she hadn't had a miscarriage, two women would have been carrying your children? Wow! I'm so disappointed in you. You know what, I'm calling my dad right away, there's no wedding again. I can't be with a man who doesn't have self-control. First, you got your secretary pregnant, now it's your assistant. Ain't you got no shame?" Cherry asked furiously.
" Keller, I'm highly disappointed in you. Your father would be so disappointed in you. How could impregnate two ladies at once? Not just any ladies, two cousins. How could you, Keller? How could you?" Laura yelled.
" Doctor, please tell them to leave, I want to be alone," Charlene said tearfully.
" No Charlene, calm down. You can't… … … … … …"
" Charlene!" A voice called from behind.
They all turned to see who just walked in.
