Chapter 19
The young man Cain happily returned to the condo unit because besides buying medicine, he found a
stuffed toy and bought it to give to his friend Jewel because it is one of her favorites.
When he arrived at the unit, he first put down the girl's stuffed toy and went straight to the kitchen to
prepare soup for the girl so that she could eat it before taking the medicine. He didn't last long because
he just bought ready to cook soup.
When it had boiled he quickly transferred it to a bowl and placed it on the tray along with a glass of
pineapple juice and medicine. He slowly brought it to the girl's room because they did not know if it was
awake or asleep.
When he arrived at the room, he first laid the tray containing food and medicine on the small table.
"Jew is awake, I prepared a soup for you to eat first before taking medicine to fill your stomach." he
said while sitting on the bed
But he never heard any response from it. He moved a little further to reach it when he noticed
something, he quickly removed the blanket and saw that only the pillow was there and the friend was
not there.
He immediately stood up and looked around because he thinks Jewel is playing a trick on him. He
waited a few more minutes but no image of Jewel came out. He glanced at the comfort room and
walked closer to it.
He tried to open the door but it's locked. He called his friend's name several times but he didn't get an
answer, his chest was covered with nervousness. He knocked on the door several more times and
dared his friend to come out but nothing happened.
He ran out of the room to get the duplicate key of the comfort room and when he saw it he quickly went
back to Jewel's room. His hands were almost shaking as he opened the locked door.
When he opened it and saw his friend lying on the floor unconscious, he noticed that the skin of the girl
turned pale so Cain was even more scared.
"Hey Jew, wake up! Don't scare me like this. It's not funny." he said as he patted her cheek.
He quickly picked up the girl and hurried out of their condo unit. The people he meets are almost
looking at them because maybe they are wondering what happened, fortunately there are staff of the
condo building who also helped and called an ambulance.
His chest almost throbbed with fear as they were in the ambulance to the hospital, he was holding the
hand of the girl who was almost emaciated and her skin was pale.
They quickly reached the hospital and immediately rushed the girl to the emergency room.
The young man walked back and forth as he waited outside the emergency room. He did not know
what to do at those times especially since his friend was on the brink of death.
He just sat in the empty seat as fear continued to build in his chest, he did not know what really
happened. NôvelDrama.Org content.
It almost took how many hours but the doctor who was taking care of Jewel still didn't come out so the
young man felt even more nervous because of this.
Two hours later when the emergency room door suddenly opened and lit up a doctor, Cain quickly
stood up to greet him.
"Doc, how is the patient? Is she okay?" he asked
The doctor nodded in response, causing Cain to be almost bitten by a thorn in his throat.
"She is now okay, same as the baby." the doctor said
The young man frowned at what he heard. "What did you say? Did I hear it right? You said the baby?"
he's perplexing question
"The patient is more than 2 months pregnant. It's a good thing that you brought her here right away,
because if you bring here late, the patient's condition will be even more critical, especially the life of the
baby." explained by the doctor
Cain could barely speak because of what he heard. He couldn't even say goodbye to the doctor
because he seemed deaf to the news. After they talk, the doctor goes back inside to make sure the
patient is well and moves her to a private room.
While the doctor was taking care of Jewel, Cain took care of the documents and bills that had to be
paid for it to be in order.
He also didn't take long because he took care of it quickly, so he was able to return immediately to the
room where the girl was moved.
As soon as he entered the room where the girl was, he caught up with a doctor and nurse, it looked like
they were still checking Jewel.
"How is she doc?" He asked
"They're in good shape Mr. Fuentabilla, she just needs to rest. And hopefully she needs to avoid stress
and think of things that can trigger her emotions." doctor's reminded him
"I will take note of that Doc., About the food?" He asked again
"She needs to eat healthy foods, I'll also give you a prescription for the vitamins she needs and for the
baby."
Cain immediately nodded in response to this, after several minutes the doctor excused himself that he
needed to leave because he had another patient who needed to be attended.
Cain just nodded and pulled the chair closer to the friend lying in the hospital bed. He didn’t know if he
would be angry or pity because of Jewel's situation, but he couldn’t help but feel a little angry because
of what the girl had done. The naive baby is almost affected by her selfishness.
He understands if the girl didn’t tell him right away but what he doesn’t understand is what went into her
mind why she did that terrible thing, why she almost killed her own baby.
He was just caught in the senses because of frustration and thinking, what if he wasn't there? What if
he didn’t come back? He didn't know what he would feel if something bad happened to Jewel, he would
not forgive himself.
