“Ari, why are you bleeding?”
Arianne followed Tiffany’s gaze downward, but her vision was already blurry and she was beginning to hear buzzing instead of voices.
Vaguely aware of her surroundings, Tiffany hailed a cab and sent her to the hospital. A few medical staff appeared in front of her, looking anxious as they pushed her into the emergency ward.
She was conscious, aware that she was being laid on the operation theater, but she felt no pain nor could she speak.
Tiffany paced outside the emergency ward in a state of nerves. After a while, a nurse opened the door of the emergency ward and walked out. “Are you the patient’s family? The patient is over fatigued after her miscarriage and is now suffering from blood loss due to trauma. She needs surgery. Please put in your signature if you’re her family!”
Tiffany was stupefied. “I… I’m her friend. I’m not a family member.”
The nurse said hurriedly, “Then call her family! The surgery can only be done with a signature. She can’t wait any longer!”
With trembling hands, Tiffany picked up Arianne’s phone to call Mark but realized that her phone had automatically switched off from the low battery. She could only pull out Arianne’s sim card and put it in her own phone. When the call was connected, it was manually hung up. She called again only to have the same scenario repeated.
Tiffany was already a sobbing mess. She texted Mark while wiping her tears. “Ari’s going to die if you don’t pick up! She’s losing a lot of blood. She’s in the hospital. A family signature is required for the surgery. Pick up!”
