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 CNA 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 d**g 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.
After tests on Regina were done, the doctor found the deadly d**g inside Regina and called for the antidote to be administered to Regina to heal her. Then he reported the scene to administration, who then reported to the authorities where an investigation was being led by police to see who poisoned Regina.
Jaden was glad that Regina was okay and even gladder when he was finally able to see her.
Entering Regina’s hospital room, she looked like a sleeping princess as he walked over to her bedside and held her hand.
Regina woke up to Jaden’s touch when he held her hand.
“Jaden?” Regina said groggily.
“Shhhhh!” Jaden told her. “Just take it easy.”
“What happened?”
“You flat lined for a few minutes.” Jaden told her.
“You mean I was dead?”
“No, baby, you stopped breathing, but you came back to us.” Jaden rejoiced.
“I just wanted to die!” Regina said.
“You tried to kill yourself?” Jaden asked, confused.
“It was the old woman at the mental health center.”
“Old woman?”
“Yeah, she gave me some pills and told me to take them.” Regina explained. “She said they would help me leave this world, if that’s what I wanted.”
“So, someone poisoned you?” Jaden said.
