She lost the clothes

Location: Health Elite Clinic Tracy barges into the hospital like a mad young lady. She scurries over to the reception where a young lady is standing behind the counter with her attention on whatever she's doing. "Excuse me, miss. I'm looking for Tatiana Wilson... A blonde-haired young lady. She was brought in here a..." She stops to catch her breath. "Oh, you mean the lady that was brought in moments ago?" The receptionist asks, and Tracy nods her head. She had run down to the hospital after she got the call. She couldn't wait to take a cab, knowing that her sister was said to be in danger. "The doctor is attending to her. She was wheeled into the emergency room, I guess," Hearing this from the receptionist, her heart sinks into her stomach and her fear increases rapidly as many questions come running through his mind endlessly. "Em...emergency room? What...what happened to my sister? Is she OK?" As much as she knows that this lady is just a receptionist and she shouldn't be directing her questions to her, her curiosity wouldn't let her keep the questions to herself until she sees the doctor. "I think the doctor is in the best position to answer that. This way, ma'am," The receptionist finally says to her, pointing in the direction of the emergency room. Without waiting to hear another word from her, she picks to her heels and rushes over to the emergency room. "Tatiana... Tatiana... Where are you? Tatiana..." She calls repeatedly as she walks down the hallway that leads to the supposed emergency room. The sound of the beeping machine coming from one of the rooms brings her to an abrupt halt. Slowly, she tilts her head to her right-hand side, and she freezes on the spot at the sight that welcomes her. Tatiana is lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and an oxygen tank over her face. "Ta...tia...na..." Her voice breaks as she stares through the transparent door with an heavy heart. Her world comes crashing down to her feet, and her heart tightens in pain. What happened? How did she end up on the hospital bed and fighting for her life after they had misunderstanding this morning? What the hell happened to her sister? "Tatiana..." She finally calls out, reaching for the doorknob and twisting it open. She storms into the room but stops abruptly again. Tatiana is on life supporting machine. How the hell did she end up here? What happened? "Excuse me. Are you miss Tracy Wilson?" A masculine voice pulls her attention from behind her, and she looks back swiftly to see a young man standing behind her, wearing a white coat. He is tall and slim. His raven hair looks perfect on him. Without being told, Tracy already knows that this man is a doctor, and judging from his voice, it sounds like the voice she heard on the phone earlier today. "Yes, I am," She replies to him, finally turning her attention to him. "Meet me in my office," He says to her, and she nods her head. A few minutes later in the doctor's office... "Has she been taking any hard drugs?" Doctor Raymond questions after a few seconds of silence, and Tracy sighs deeply. Of course, she knew that this would be the case. She has tried to talk to her little sister about the kind of life she has chosen to live but she never listened to her. Now, this is where it has landed them. "Yes," She replies to him. "Well, from the test result, it shows that the blood in her veins and arteries has clotted, leading to the difficult passage of blood to the heart. And this was caused as a result of much intake of nicotine. From what I learned, she smokes a lot," The doctor questions, and she nods her head. "Anyways, I'll just go straight to the point. Your sister had cardiac arrest, and she would've lost her life if not that she was brought in on time," The doctor finally announces, and she gulps down nothing as she feels her world crashing down to her feet. "She'll be on a life-supporting machine for seventy-two hours while we put her under observation. It's not that serious yet, and it'll do her more good if she can quit now that it's still early," He advises her, and she nods her head. "Uhm... Doctor, will she be fine? When will she wake up?" She asks, and he gives her an assuring smile. "Yes, she'll be fine. At least for now, but I can't assure you," The doctor says to her, and she nods her head. "I'll prescribe some medicines for her to take once she's discharged later. You can meet my secretary later for your bill," He further says, and she nods her head, even if she knows how cashless she is. She has no money to pay the bill, even if it's just five dollars. She works so hard and gets paid at the end of each month, but what was she supposed to do when her sister wouldn't stop stealing her money and spending it on gambling? Was she supposed to kill her? Just three months ago, she has gotten paid at the end of the month as usual, but Tatiana stole the money and gave it to her boyfriend. "Thank you," She says to her before leaving his office finally. Heading to the emergency room, she stops abruptly as something crosses her mind. She checks her hands as if she's searching for something, and her eyes slowly widen in shock as realization dawns on her. The cloth she was holding... Oh gosh! The twelve thousand dollars cloth, she lost it. "s**t!" She curses under her breath, and rushes toward the exit door, storming out of the hospital afterward. She recalled throwing the clothes away and rushing down to the hospital when she had gotten the call. What was she thinking? Storming out of the hospital, she runs down the street as fast as her legs can carry her. She'll be doomed if anything happens to that dress. The sound of her ringing phone brings her to an abrupt halt and reaching out for it from her pocket, her heart misses a beat at the name displayed on the screen. It's her boss. With her fingers trembling and her heart beating rapidly against her chest, she slides the answer button, waiting for hell to let loose on her. "Tracy!" The yell of her boss from the other end shows that there's a big problem awaiting her. Her heart sinks into her stomach, and she gulps down nothing nervously. "Si... Sir?" She stutters nervously. "I give you ten minutes to get here, now!" His voice rings through the phone again, before the call finally drops...
