Critical Condition

~~~~~ Daniel's Hospital ~~~~~

"Doctor, you need to check on the patient. His condition is not stable, his monitor is beeping out of order." Nurse Nani informed Terry who was busy playing games on his cellphone. He had gotten to the hospital 30 minutes ago after his talk with Ace.

Terry sprung up from his chair at once, he placed his phone down on the table and rushed out towards the elevator with the nurse behind him. "Brief me on his situation? What happened?" Terry queried the nurse.

"Doctor I don't know what happened, he was alright till an hour ago. His condition didn't show any signs of complications at first, but a few minutes ago he still convulsing on the bed." Nurse Nani spelled out the situation to Terry.

"Convulsing huh? Press the button, we need to go down there fast. Get a BIC injection ready and also a sedative to calm him down. He can't convulse at this time, this is bad." Terry ordered Nani, muttering the last past to himself.

Can't nodded and turned to the elevator buttons, she brought out a pad and hidden buttons came into view. She pressed on the underground room and the elevator immediately shut tight, it scanned their identities before shooting like a bullet down the ground.

After arriving at the underground room, Nani went to get what was needed, and then Terry walked towards the room in a hurry. "Ace is going to kill me, this is bad. I wonder what triggered his emotions now " Terry mumbled to himself.

When he got to the room, he pushed the door opened and was surprised to see the patient lying still on the bed. The monitor wasn't beeping and everything was clear on it, "what is this? Is Nani playing a prank on me? He is alright." Terry remarked, confusion evident in his eyes.

"Doctor I got the things you asked for, here you go," Nani informed walking into the room, her head down trying to sort out the equipment. When she raised her eyes after a while of hearing no response from the Doctor, her eyes met with the monitor. It was back to normal.

"What is this? It was beeping loudly a moment ago like he would die, what happened doctor?" Nani asked Terry who was still looking shocked.

"Are you sure it was beeping before you came up?" Terry asked in a whisper.

"Yes doctor, it was," Nani affirmed her point and Terry nodded, Nani wasn't the type to tell lies. She was a person who knew the value of words and their power.

"It's good then, monitor his condition for the day. There might be some mishaps we aren't aware of, monitor him to make sure. Also, tighten the security around this place..." Terry instructed walking out of the room.

"Yes Doctor, will do as you have said," Nani responded and got to work.

~~~~~

Outside the patient's room, "something isn't right, why did that happen a moment ago " Terry wondered to himself. "I need to inform Ace about this, this isn't good. He needs to know about this." "Only Ace can figure this out with his damned brain," Terry mumbled and walked into the elevator.

~~~~~ CoCo Beach ~~~~~

"Uncle, I am back. It's been a while, hasn't it? I missed you and aunty a lot, how are you doing?" Jace muttered smiling from ear to ear, he was currently having a conversation with Mr. And Mrs. Hawthorne. Ace's parents and his uncle and aunty.

"Oh my Jace dear, it's so nice to see you. How did you know we were here? Come on hug aunty." Mrs. Hawthorne responded excitedly to be, she stood up and spread out her hands for Jace to hug her.

Jace's lips curled into a happy smile, he walked towards her and pulled her in a happy hug. "I miss you so much aunty, you are still as tall as I remember. Am envious." Jace mumbled dramatically acting sulky and spoilt. He refused to let her pull away from the hug.

Mrs. Hawthorne smiled at the child's words, she raised her hands to his head and started patting it softly. "You all get your heights from me, do you think I will get short anytime soon " She muttered with a giggle and they both burst out laughing.

"Silly brat gets your filthy hands off my wife, you have a wife go hug and joke with her, not mine." An old man, not exactly old just average between 45 to 50 stood up to his feet. His face was the same structure as Ace, as it was always said like father like son.

"Uncle, that's unfair. Do you have to be so mean to me, am only hugging aunt and she lives it too?" Jace muttered in a teasing tone, he knew his uncle would blow up soon but he wanted to see that happen. His uncle was the possessive kind of man, he never let anyone close to his wife.

Mr. Hawthorne's face darkened, his eyes narrowed into a frown at his stupid nephew's words. He matched towards his wife and pulled her away from him ( Jace ), "Brat I don't want to see you touching my wife got that?" He mumbled in a tone that promised dangerous things.

"Uncle that's unfair, she's my aunt too," Jace muttered shrugging off his uncle's warnings.

"That's enough both of you if you want to argue about me then do it when I am not here okay? " Mrs. Hawthorne remarked pulling herself away from her husband, she glared at him before walking back to the beach.

"Oh my dear wife, please forgive your lovely husband. We will go talk about you elsewhere when we are done. We will or I will come back, bye!" Mr. Hawthorne taunted in a playful tone, and when he turned towards Jace his eyes darkened. "Come here brat."

Jace took to his feet when his uncle mentioned brat! that was a sign he was gonna get beaten.
