528 Words
Regina overdosed on her medication that the nurse gave her, unbeknownst to the nurse that they had been switched by Geri, who was posing as a staff member, but was really Parker’s mother, who wanted revenge on Regina for Parker’s death.
Regina flat lined and was clinically dead for 3 minutes before her heart started beating again. After being revived, Regina was rushed to ICU where she was put on life-support.
By this time, Jaden found Regina and was watching at the window when doctors where working to revive her.
“Can I see her?” Jaden asked a nurse, who ignored Jaden as they rushed Regina to ICU.
Jaden, feeling discouraged went to the nurse’s station to see if he could see Regina.
“I’m here to see Regina Crimson?” Jaden asked a nurse, who was too busy to respond to Jaden.
“I’m sorry, but only immediate family only for Ms. Crimson.” The nurse said on her way to answer an emergency.
Frustrated, Jaden waited to until he could see Regina, but was unknowingly being watched by Geri, who was seeking to find out if Regina was dead?
“Excuse me, sir.” Geri asked a saddened Jaden.
“Yeah, what do you want?” Jaden said irritated.
“I couldn’t help but wonder . . . you were waiting for Regina Crimson?”
“So, what of it?” Jaden told the intruder.
“Did she make it?” Geri inquired.
“Who are you? Why do you need to know?”
“She’s a friend.” Geri lied.
“She’s in ICU.” Jaden told Geri.
“So, she didn’t die?” Geri said sounding disappointed.
“You wanted her to die?” Jaden said, sensing her disappointing glance.
“I didn’t say that.” Geri defended herself.
“I watched the doctors finally revive her. She’s in ICU.” Jaden told Geri, who seemed happy to get the information.
“Thank you, sir.” Geri said slipping off.
As Jaden waited to see Regina, Geri slipped into Regina’s room hoping to pull the plug on Regina’s life-support system.
Chapter 13
“Sir, you may go in and see her.” The CAN told Jaden, but as he was about to go in and see Regina, the life-support machine started beeping.
“Code blue, Room 320!” the CNA called over the PA system, as nurses and doctors headed into Room 320 to try to revive Regina, as a horrified Jaden watched from outside Regina’s room.
“Regina just had to be alright.” Jaden silently prayed to himself, as Geri snickered in the background, knowing Regina was going to die, after the deadly drug that she released into Regina’s system.
“Serves you right, Regina!” Geri said to herself. “It’s payback for letting my Parker die!”
Doctors worked frantically to revive Regina. But she was gone!
“Time of death, 3:35 p.m.” the doctor said sadly, as he started to cleanup.
As everyone looked on at Regina’s body, for like seemed like hours, but was actually just about 3 minutes, Regina started breathing on her own.
“Doctor, come quick!” the nurse yelled out, as Jaden prayed for Regina to be alright.
“Yes?” the doctor asked.
“She’s got a pulse and is breathing shallowly.” The nurse told the doctor.
“She’s come back to us.” The doctor said, checking Regina’s vitals. “Get her to x-ray, stat!”
As Regina was wheeled to x-ray for tests, Jaden smiled to himself, as he thanked the Lord.
Geri wasn’t happy as she silently cursed God for bringing Regina back.
