Chapter 47: Chapter 47
(Vivienne)
My body was covered in sweat as I did everything possible to keep the lady from passing out. I knew nothing about pregnant women before I was having a fit. I knew her blood pressure was high just by her. She had a nosebleed which scared me even more. I was agitated, scared, and thinking why the lady had to walk in such a state.
She was already saying her water broke and it was time but even so, I was so clueless for the first time in my life I was caught up with such a situation
"P...please ma'am...hang on...the...the elevator is getting fixed"I muttered and continued to rub her hands and feet. I did everything necessary to preserve her life, at least to stall for some time but what could I do when the woman was so pregnant and could give birth which I read about but had no idea what doctors did.
For a second I wanted to take my phone and call Beverly but then again I dropped the idea. If the elevator was opened then everything would be okay
"Please help us!!"I yelled so much that my lungs gave up. My throat had become dry and was writing from shouting so much. I already heard voices from outside. They said they are fixing things but for how long when the lady was failing to breathe in my arms.
I wanted to cry at least she'd a few tears but that was out of the question and possible if I could cry but all I could pray that the elevator got fixed in time
"Help us... someone please!"I shouted not caring if I did it after a few seconds and to my surprise I heard some more voices which I didn't hear from before and one of them sounded familiar but I was too tense to know who it belonged to
"Relax... I'll fix this" the male voice which spoke while banging on the elevator door didn't yell or shout but was calm as the serene waters of the sea. With just the soft tone of it, I found myself relaxing. I wanted to scream again but the man who spoke said I should relax and I believed him.
I stayed there whispering assuring words to the lady
"You'll be fine" I muttered and used my shirt sleeves to wipe her bloody nose. She was a bit relaxed and her breathing was a little stable but I wanted her to be fine
"Save...my baby" she mumbled as her eyes closed and she took in a deep inhale. Before I could reply to her, the elevator made a strange sound which alerted me. I looked up and the doors were opening. Not sliding open on their own but it seemed someone was using their bare hands to pry the doors apart. My eyes widened in great shock watching in anticipation, who would do that.
Using all their strengths to open those steel days. I moved away so I could see who it was. My heart raced as the door fully opened at the effort of whichever man, I heard heavy deep groans as the man fought to open the doors fully and I was even more agitated
"Get her out now"the same man growled out as he fully opened the elevator doors and I was graced by a few men in Black suits who rushed in
"Ms. Please move," the men told me when they rushed in with a stretcher. I moved away immediately as I struggled to get to my feet, trembling a little as a wave of relief washed all over me. I wanted to laugh with joy that finally helped.
"Careful...bring her out now"I was pushed out of the elevator as the men carefully lifted the lady in readiness to put her on the stretcher. I stumbled around while trying to go past the men seeking to help but was blocking the way out when a familiar voice spoke. I followed to where it came from and my eyes widened
"Victor" I muttered watching Victor looking all sweaty and giving orders around. I saw how ragged he looked because his white shirt was stained with blood and when I trailed my eyes to his hands, they were bloody only then did I realize that the person opening the doors with his bare hands was Victor
Fear engulfed me as I tried to rush to him but he was already moving in the opposite direction following the pregnant lady. The entire place was crowded because people had come to watch what was happening.
I couldn't get through to the other side but I used all my might to shove them aside and ran after the men taking the lady.
I wanted to make sure she was fine as well as the baby. The condition she was in was frightening that I felt sorry for her
"Where are the lady and the tall man with long hair?"I asked when I got to the private room which I thought was an office setup of some sort. The two men standing outside as if guarding the place blocked my way
"Ms...please stay out, the doctor is attending to her, "one of the men said, still keeping me away and I moved away nodding my head a little.
I was tired and I couldn't feel I stayed there waiting for the doctor to attend to the woman when suddenly
"Drink this madam...please take a seat"out of nowhere I saw a tall man in a blue suit hand me a sealed bottle of water and set up a chair just before me. I grew alerted not sure what was happening
"Dr. Victor requested that you rest until he's done... he's in there helping the lady to deliver her baby "the man informed me pointing to the closed door and I was totally confused. I wanted to sit but I couldn't
"Doctor?"I asked with narrowed eyes why Victor was there. He wasn't a doctor, was he? As far as I knew the man was a businessman.
But recalling his actions back at the hospital when he relaxed me to get blood and the way he was always particular with health stuff had me thinking.
