The Darkness Lies Within Wealth

The Rally.

The streets of Texas City were in chaos; everyone was upset. The media reporters were on the streets with their cameras recording the events happening around the streets everywhere.

"We need justice!"

"We need justice for our loved ones!"

People were on the streets protesting with signs in their hands, moving around Tony's company outside, both men and women surrounded by police everywhere.

"We need to boycott Tony's company for good! And we should sue Tony for the aggression that he has committed against our innocent children." The protester said, loud and clear.

Tony was in his sitting room watching the news about how the protest was going on the streets through his television, a little agitated with nervousness on his face.

"Damn you, Jessica. Look at what you have done to me. I swear to God you are gonna regret what you have done to me," Tony spoke to his thoughts.

As Tony was watching people protesting on national television. Suddenly, one of his guards arrived at the sitting room in a rush, with worry.

"Boss, I have some bad news for you." The guard informed Tony.

Tony knitted his brows; "What is it?"

"The police are waiting for you outside the house." The guard informed Tony.

Tony startled, his heart started thumping harder with fear inside; "What do you mean the police are outside? What exactly do they want?"

The guard shrugged, "I don't really know, sir. The only thing that they told me was that they want to speak with you."

Tony froze for a second, thinking about what to do after the police arrived, despite his heart and mind being uneasy, not knowing the purpose of their visit.

"Okay. Tell them I'm coming right now," Tony said.

The guard nodded, "Okay."

The guard left Tony in the sitting room alone and returned to the police officers. Tony's mind was a little unease, trying to figure out his fate if they caught him and took him to prison.

"Damn you, Jessica! You are the one who caused these shits to happen. I will not have any second thoughts about killing you this time," Tony spoke to his inner thoughts with a scrunched face, thinking about what to talk to the police officers outside.

Nobody expected it,

It was a moment of distress,

Someone was going to die that day.

The patients were in the corridors waiting for treatment; the doctors were in the middle of the corridor, running in a rush, pushing the hospital bed heading towards the operation room for the treatment.

Jessica was lying on top of the bed, unconscious, with bruises on her face and blood coming out of her nose.

"Move! Move!" the doctors exclaimed at the people standing in the middle of the way as they were pushing the bed heading toward the room.

"Oh my God, my daughter is gonna die." Jessica's mother said, while tears were falling down her face.

"Mom! You should not say that. My sister is gonna be fine." Jade replied.

"Your sister has lost a lot of blood. If something bad happens. I don't know if I will bear this," Jessica's mother said.

The doctors arrived at the operation room in a brief span.

One doctor remained behind and stopped both Jessica's mother and her sister.

"You both should wait here outside the room. We will give you the details of what is going on with the operation of your daughter." The doctors said.

Jessica's mother nodded, "Okay, please, doctor, save my daughter; I'm begging you."

Jade interjected, "Please, doctor! Take care of her."

The doctor entered the operation room and closed the door.

Jade and her mother went to the room's window and looked at Jessica in the mirror with terrified looks on their faces.

"I hope nothing bad happens to her," Jade said.

"Nothing bad will happen to my daughter. The only thing that we need to do right now is pray." Jessica's mother said.

It was a moment of distress for the doctors and Jessica's family.

Jessica was on top of the bed, lying down helplessly with blood coming out of her mouth.

Her survival chances were unknown.

All the doctors wore their uniforms while holding their equipment in their hands.

"The patient's condition is getting worse and worse as time goes on. What should we do now, doctor, Jason?" The nurse asked.

"Have you checked her blood pressure, Anna?" Jason asked.

"I have already checked her blood pressure, and it is at the normal rate. What should we do now?" Anna asked with an anxious look on her face.

"If so, cleaning up her wounds before the surgery." The doctor said,

"I can't do that right now. The patient is still losing blood as time goes, we will lose her for good if we don't act fast," Anna informed Jason.

Anna placed her hand on Jessica's chest and gave her a push on the top of the chest with both hands, trying to fix her heart rate.

"Her heart rate on the cardiac monitor is below normal; I'm waiting for command?" Anna asked with a terrified face.

"Turn on the defibrillator pads," the doctor ordered.

Anna went to the defibrillators and started connecting them.

"Doctor, everything is ready," Anna said.

Jessica's mother was outside the room, moving around with nervousness waiting for news about her daughter.

And at the time that she was walking outside of the room, suddenly Jade approached her mother.

"Mom, there is someone who is calling Jessica," Jade informed her mother.

Jessica's mother waved her hand, "Can't talk right now. Can't you see your sister's condition is getting worse?"

"But this man has been calling Jessica four times now. Maybe it will be better if you listen to him if he calls again." Jade suggested.

Jessica's mother nodded, "Okay."

The doctors inside the operation room all panicked with heart attacks, moving around the hospital room with terrified looks on their faces.

"What should we do now? The patient is losing a lot of blood and her heart is not responding anymore," one doctor said.

The doctor looked at Anna; "Anna turned on the defibrillator! And stimulate her purse."

"Okay," Anna replied.

Anna took the two defibrillators from the top of the table and started rubbing them, and pressed on the patient's chest.

"Clear!" Anna stimulated Jessica's heart with no response as the cardiac monitor read zero.

"Doctor, she is not responding!" Anna informed her doctor.

"Try again for the second time!" The doctor ordered.

"Clear!" Anna gave Jessica a heart pulse, but there was no response.
