Glenn, noticing Duke who was standing behind Mrs. Marvin, screamed out in joy as she called him “Dada”. Mrs. Marvin and everyone amazed at what Glenn had just said, burst out cheerful at the hearing of it. Glenn was put down and she ran off to Duke, showcasing her happiness as she got into his arms.
” Duke welcome to fatherhood”, Henry spoke out chuckling bad Bethany was happier and happier with the bond between those two. Carl who was very vigilant, noticed the connection between Duke and Bethany, as their eyes would not stop looking at each other and he felt a feeling of jealousy which was polling up like fire.
Bethany asking whether they have been able to check ok the CCTV cameras to catch a glimpse of the person who was standing in front of Eva’s ward, asked her mom to have a sit for a while as they were going to go back home together.
Taking her seat again, Mrs. Marvin smiling at Carl asked him how he was doing today and also asked about his mom’s welfare. Carl responded with his stare still on Duke.
Bethany, feeling how awkward the moment was, turned her gaze to the car and presenting him as his childhood friend to both Duke and Henry, she also introduced them both as her Bosses to Carl. It was an intense moment as Duke spread out his and hoping for Carl to shake it off, he hesitated as he looked at Duke somehow.
Bethany, not feeling comfortable with Henry’s behavior, told him not to do something like that anymore as she could not get to understand the reasons why he had to behave in that manner. Lowering his gaze out of guilt, he apologized to Bethany for his behavior.
As the introduction was over, Duke could hear someone calling out his name from the back and when he turned his eyes to see who it was, it was none other but his friend the doctor. She walked up to them saluting everyone and placing a kiss on Duke’s cheek which made Mrs. Marvin turned her eyes to look at her daughter’s reaction.
Noticing that Carol was the person, Duke could already feel some warmness in his feet that we’re in his shoes. Carol was all over him, whereas Sylvia who had followed him wondered what he was doing in a hospital and who he had come there to see.
“What are you hiding from me Duke Smith?”, Sylvia raised a question playing the meddler and running all around the hospital just spy of on him.
Carol who had been standing closer to Duke for some time, told him that she had listened to what had happened at the hospital when she went out to have lunch and also that the hospital personnel, as well as the security, were doing their best to get to the bottom of that.
He smiled and a network of tiny lines fanned out around his eyes as he said that he hopes they get to that as he did not want to believe that such a big sanitarium is careless with the safety of their patients.
Henry inquiring from Carol, whether it was possible for him to watch the footage of the hospital so as to observe the person who was in front of Eva’s ward, had a positive answer from her as she told them to follow her to the security department.
Twirling to Duke and looking at Glenn, she could not help herself but ask whether she was his child as the connection was better they were great. Bethany immediately seized the question from Carol’s mouth and answering with a disgusting look at Duke, she said that Glenn was her child and that made Carl who was standing beside Bethany to ask in confusion,
” I thought you said that Glenn was Eva’s sister”. Squeezing up her lips as she had put herself in a difficult situation, stammered while trying to defend herself from the lie she had just spoken out, made Henry who had been observant of what had been happening to cut them short reminding Carol of direction that they were to take to get to the technical department.
Bethany, imploring Carl to stay with her mom while she goes with the others to check up on what happened, told her mom that there were going to be back soon. Carl accepted without any difficulty and he went to sit down with Bethany’s mom and they started to talk about every little thing that had happened.
Carol was very disturbed by what had just taken place some moments ago and she was beginning to suspect that, Bethany had feelings for Duke thereby planning not to let it happen and watching at her every move closely.
Walking into the patient’s room to check on her like the nurse was doing for some hours, she saw Eva blinking her eyes and moving her body. The nurse going closer to make sure that she was not hallucinating, confirmed what she had seen so with a gentle voice, she spoke out to Eva, asking her if she could remember anything.
Eva who had been unconscious and on oxygen for almost 24hours asked the nurse where she was as everything look strange to her.
Taking a look at the room, the white paintings, and the silence made her wonder whether she was still on earth or in heaven, the compartment was clean and organized and the bar of flowers sitting effortlessly on the table by the wall was so beautiful and fresh.
She could feel that she had been immobile for some time as her body was as heavy as a log of wood that had been cut down in the forest and left on the ground till a truck was been found to get it transported.
“For how long have been here?”, Eva asked struggling to get up from the bed but the headache that she felt banging in her head, was nothing like she had ever felt before.
Assisting her to remain in the same position as moving too much was not good for her, the nurse told her that she had been there since the previous night and further asked her if she thought back of anything that had happened to her.
Eva still looking at herself and the driblets she was receiving, she kept on feeling the headache that was making life unbearable for her.
” Calm down it will pass eventually”, the nurse spoke to her as she told her to hang on while she goes to get the doctor.
Eva was left alone in her ward, thinking of what had happened and recalling that her flat had been caught up in the fire, she thought of her kid sisters as she called out their names in fright.
Henry and the others were already at the technical department and he asked the agents whether they could see the CCTV footage for that day. Carol told the team not to bother as they are her friends and they were worried about what had happened as the patient in ward 5 is equally their friend and they yearn to know who the man was.
Manipulating the videos, the security agent, went backward to the camera that was at the corridor where the incident had taken place that morning, scrolling through to find out what the person looked like.
Scrolling down to the people passing through the path during the time that it happened, they could observe a man who had passed through the corridor twice and finally came back to the ward and looking left and right, he had stopped in front of Eva’s ward.
His face could bit be caught a glimpse of as he was putting on a mask and a pullover with a black cap making it impossible for him too be recognized. Henry after watching that footage, slammed the table with angle as he wondered who it could be.
Duke apologizing for his friend’s behavior, also appreciated the Security agent for his time and a good job as he took his friend outside. Carol wondering what was going on, asked Henry whether the patient in question has any enemy or problems with anyone but Bethany let out,
“My friend is a good person and she can not even hurt a fly, I wonder who that haul was”.
Bethany was feeling scared for Eva’s life and the person who made an effort to get her scared was succeeding in his plans as it was getting worse.
Eva who had managed to get down from the bed pulled out all the medication that was on her arm as she walked with the help of the walls she was holding to get to the door.
The nurse who had been searching for doctor Carol to inform her that Eva was awake, could not seem to find her anywhere in the hospital, so she went to the reception desk In order to ask for the help of the nurse at the reception to call out the attention of nurse Carol to ward 5.
The nurse at the reception desk doing as she was being told, she made an announcement through the hospital radioactive material, which went all over the hospital and Carol could hear right from the technical department.
Bethany and the others, listening to what had just gone on, realized that it was Eva’s ward they were referring to, so they all rushed to her ward while Mrs. Marvin was a hall to know that Eva was finally awaken. She thanked the Lord for his doings and waited to get more news from Bethany.
Henry was the first person to reach the ward and opening the door, he could see Eva struggling to go out while blood dropped from her hand as she had pulled out the driblets.
A dreamy smile patted her lips at the sight of Henry, and his deep voice came through her ear as he called out her name. Losing her stamina, she went down slowly and Henry quickly rushed to support her while taking her back to the bed.
” Hello, Sir Henry”, she let out her first words after some hours of unconsciousness and a faint smile escaped from her lips with tears running down her eyes. Having Henry in front of her, brought back everything that had happened that night and she said,
“I think I heard you call me from my sleep”. Henry, realizing that his heart was happy knowing that Eva was sound and safe now, told her not to do that again as he was so scared.
Bethany and Duke who were standing in the room, walked closer to stare at Eva but the declaration been made by Henry, left Bethany in tears of joy as she could not contain the sweetness that was going on between Henry and Eva.
Making an effort to wake up, Henry told her to stay on the bed but Eva was so worried about her sisters that she said she needed to go find them.
” Your sisters are safe Eva and they are at home, besides here is Glenn”, Bethany spoke from behind as she came in front for her friend to see her. Tears flowed down from Eva’s eyes as she saw Glenn who was in Duke’s arms.
Catching a glimpse of her sister, Glenn called out her name and Duke let her down while she walked to Eva. Bringing up her eyes, she thanked all of them for taking care of her and she further looked around and not being able to find Rachel with the others, Eva began to very bitterly asking what had happened to Rachel.
Henry tried to calm her down but she would not stop crying and Bethany spoke out telling her that Rachel was doing fine and that she was at home with Bryan. Bethany further time Eva to get well soon as there was something she needed to clarify for her safety.
