Chapter 5 Nicholas' POV 'Life'

I looked towards his view and saw her 'Anna', she turned her face to look at him and John ran to her, it looked like she was also in pain because she kept massaging her temples, she looked completely exhausted from her previous operation I guess.

This wasn't the time to be concerned about some doctor's health, right? I just want to save my sister I don't want to lose another person in my life so suddenly again.

When I looked up at her face again I realised she was staring at me like,' I don't believe he is here look' that was so evident. I guess she knows who I am, then John suddenly turned back and he realised I was behind him all this time.

"I told you to stay back there, I'll try and convince her" he spoke in evident annoyance.

"You don't expect me to sit back down there when my little sister is dying...do you!!" I replied in anger.

"Ahhh" the female doctor spoke in pain, seems like she is having a bad headache.

"Anna, where are your drugs" John turned and asked next.

"I was going to get it when you stopped me" she explained.

"I always told you to keep"... I interrupted John.

"Please!! Save my little sis..you can't be having a lover's talk here" I spoke out rudely, I knew it was rude, but my sis's life is on the line here...wait are they, lovers? That is not something to think about now, I dismissed the thought almost immediately.

"Anna right, I doubt you have a little sister or brother at all, because you won't be doing this if you did, how can you be so heartless, she's dying there and you are here discussing like you didn't hear me earlier". I spoke angrily

"Hey, don't talk to her like that she's..." she interrupted J as he spoke.

"Let's go for the operation J, who is the lead and the supporting doctor," she asked.

"You and I" John replied almost immediately

"Whatttttttt" she spoke out a little loud and pulled John away from me, they were whispering so I couldn't hear what they were talking about.

She smiled dryly at me and followed John, the latter didn`t turn to me at all, I guess he was mad at me.

____FEW HOURS INTO THE OPERATION_____

Nurses came out and asked me for my blood type, I told them, turns out I did not have the same blood type as my sister, I was told my sister was losing excess blood and they do not have a blood type in the blood bank right now.

I told called my dad to come over to the waiting room, he did not know his blood group and his blood was checked to see if it was similar and it was but...he had a high alcohol content level in his blood.

"Dad, you told me you have stopped drinking, you lied to me, if anything happened to my sister because of your negligence, I will never forgive you, Never," I spoke to him in anger. What is going to happen to my sister?, my dad who had the same blood type and had alcohol content in his blood, tears gathered in my eyes as I thought of the present situation of my sister.

I sat down and crouched, if only God existed, but he doesn't, where is He now? No, where has he always been?, when my mom died, when I had my accident when my career went downhill in a blink, and now for my sister. Where is He? I don't want to lose Nancy, God if you do exist please save her.

AFTER FEW HOURS

I saw Dr Anna being pulled on a stretcher, she seems unconscious she had pale lips like she had lost blood...did she give Nancy her blood? No that`s not possible I convinced myself otherwise.

I looked up and gained an angry stare from John, he walked up to me and pulled me to the elevator and entered his office, I sighed and followed suit.

"If anything happens to Anna, I won't be happy with you" John spoke up, I guess he has calmed down because his anger was not obvious in his voice. "She is unconscious right now, she gave more than 4 units of her blood to Nancy to save her life she was in a critical state, Nancy would have slipped into a coma if nothing was done to save her.

Even though I was not a medical professional, more than four seems like a lot of units of blood to give up, women tend to have a lower volume of blood compared to men, I know that well.

"I'm sorry," I said sincerely.

"Nancy is in a safe condition now" she will be transferred to a private ward if her condition is stable. he spoke after.

"You seem calm about Anna, I thought you were... John cut me short

"She is a strong woman, she will be fine, she has stressed herself way before now so I can't blame you solely for her condition" he looked at me and exhaled. "She wanted to save Anna badly, I could not stop her even when I knew it was too much for her to handle".

"Why would she want to do that? is she always like that to all patients risking her life to save them?" I asked John.

'Does she love saving lives that much?' I thought to myself

"This is different I guess; a girl with the same age and same condition What was I thinking? I kind of expected it." He laughed dryly.

"What do you mean by a girl of the same age and condition?" I questioned almost immediately.

"It is not in place to tell you that Mr Brooks" he replied.

"Whatever Dr John" I replied playfully. "I'm off to see my little sis, thanks so much for saving her life.

I left John's office and walked to the elevator then turned toward my sister's ward when I saw Anna walking like she was drunk in the hallway, I stopped behind her and watched her walk toward my sister's room, when she looked inside, I heard her sobbing saying 'it was okay, 'I did it, 'she is fine, 'you did it Anna'. she kept on saying some incoherent words over and over again while weeping.

I don't know why I felt a pang of pain in my chest, it was as if I felt what she was feeling at that moment. She started trying to walk back and her step became more unsteady and unbalanced she was about to fall to the ground when I ran to her and caught her in my arms. She was fragile like she had no life in her and her skin was paler than I saw a few hours ago. She looked at me and smiled then passed out I carried her to my sister's ward and placed her in the second bed, I wanted to sleep close to my sister but I guess I cannot do that again...on the bed.

I stayed up all night not knowing when I gave in to sleep thinking of the reason why Anna is so affected by my sister's condition and why she was crying as if she knew her.

When I woke up Anna was gone and my sister was awake staring at me and smiling...Ohh I missed those smiles, even if it was just for a day I did not get to see them.

"Did you see her leave?" I asked her

"The female doctor...Yes, I did, she thanked me for not dying. I like her already, she seems fun and nice, and she does have a cute smile also".

"Thank her for saving your life big time Nancy..." I wanted to tell her fully, but then Anna came in.

I looked up at her...
