149 THE PATIENTS...

Ronald heard Jeff's voice full of concern for his wife and child. But he cannot take a chance on speeding and get them into an accident in return.

He stepped on it as Jeff ordered, but he's cautious while driving. He kept on looking on the review mirror to see if Ann's wakened up yet, but she's still unconscious, and he started to worry as well.

They arrived in the emergency room of the hospital in a flash. A stretcher was brought out waiting for their arrival. Jeff carried his wife and lay her down in the cot. Once Ann was secured, the nurses and doctor rushed her to the emergency care unit, Jeff along with them not letting go of his wives head the whole time.

"Ann, sweetheart, wake-up... " Jeff keeps on trying to wake her up. He knows she is breathing just fine, but it's shallow and can barely feel her pulse. He's getting scared for not having control of the whole situation. "Doctor, please! I beg you to do something, why is she not awake yet? It has been more than fifteen minutes?"

"CEO Go, please! step aside for a moment so we can check the patient." The doctor told Jeff who hasn't left Ann's side. "You don't have to leave; you just need to let us check her up to find out what's going on." The doctor politely explained to Jeff.

Jeff had lost all rationality due to his concern for Ann and the babies. He realizes that he's hindering the process, and made way to the doctor to be able to properly connect all the contraptions needed to check Ann and the babies properly.

"Doctor, please accept my apology. I will step outside and let you do your job. I don't want to be in the way of the progress. Only one thing I'm asking...Please! take care of my wife and child." Jeff then walked out of the emergency care unit.

Sophia, Albert, Grandma Tan, Grandpa Go, Ethan along with Lea and Ronald are all outside the Emergency care unit waiting area. The only one that's not present was Olivia who's celebrating the news of Ann's passing out and still not awakened.

As soon as Jeff stepped out of the emergency care unit, everyone rushes to him to bombarded him with questions.

"How is she?" Albert Tan is the first to speak.

"Is she awake yet?" Sophia asks with concern showing on her beautiful face.

"Is the baby alright?" Both Grandma Tan and Grandpa Go ask in unison.

Ronald, Lea, and Ethan who stands at the side just listening to the conversation were the exception.

Jeff looks all worn out in such a short time. His face showing like his carrying the whole world on his shoulder.

"She's not awake yet when I left; the doctor needed to check her thoroughly, so I stepped out. I don't want to be in a way." Jeff explained to everyone before finding a chair to sit and wait.

Jeff was about to sit-down when he realized that his mother is not around anywhere. " Ethan, did you tell mother about the situation?"

"I did inform her, and she told me she would follow. When would that be, I don't know, and I don't care?" Ethan informs his older brother who looks like he's going to pass out as well.

"Who cares if she comes or not, It's better if she doesn't. That woman is nothing but trouble." The old man interjects.

Sophia who's listening to the whole time, smirks and put in her two cents as well. "Grandpa Go is right; It's better she didn't show up, she would create more trouble rather than help the situation."

Speaking of the devil, Oliva coming in looking like she's going to a party with glitters and all on her clothing. "Hello, Everyone! " Olivia greeted.

No one paid attention to her. When she realized that no one spoke back to her, she looks at her two sons who's eyes was glue unto the door of the emergency care unit.

"Hello!!! In case you two did not realize, I'm here." She tries to attract Jeff and Ethan's attention. [Nothing!] The two continued looking at the door with blank faces.

Soon enough a nurse from the ECU came out of the room. "Who's the immediate family of the patients?"

"I am!"

"I am!"

"I am!"

"We are!"

Almost everyone said it in unison. It made the nurse confused and had to clarify the question. " Actually when we asked for family, we are asking for a Husband."

"Oh! How about us! We are the parents and grandparents of the patients; we want to hear the result as well." Albert Tan spoke on behalf of everyone else.

The nurse looks at everyone contemplating. " The patients...
