The doctor continued, pulling out an IV needle, intending to insert it into Maja's hand.
But upon seeing the needle, Eric shot up from his seat.
It was as if a painful memory had resurfaced, causing him to take a step back.
The doctor looked at him, surprised, assuming he feared needles.
"Sir, if needles make you uncomfortable, just look away."
Eric lowered his eyes, his fingers trembling slightly. His anguish spread like spider webs, wrapping him tightly.
He felt like he was suffocating, desperately trying to breathe, but the webs only tightened more.
The doctor didn't look at him but inserted the needle into Maja's hand.
Eric tried to control his trembling fingers.
The doctor stood up, "When the IV bag is empty, remember to remove the needle."
Eric looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The doctor simply nodded politely and left.
Eric, so worried about Maja, should be staying by her side.
But he sat at a distance on the single-seater couch as if the place where she lay was a lion's den.
After some time, he heard Maja's pained voice.
Turning around, he saw that her blood had started to flow back into the tube.
He rushed forward, trying to remove the needle from her hand, but the memories in his mind overwhelmed him. His fingers trembled, unable to grip the needle.
He felt sick, aiming for the needle, but his hand kept missing.
After several attempts, he grew more anxious.
Eric, the golden boy, never thought he'd be bested by a needle.
Maja opened her eyes to see a worried face.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
