Scared

The sight of Nicole in her lap, lying motionless with her face as pale as paper, like there was no more blood under her skin, made Scarlett tremble with fear.

She could imagine how terrifying this little girl would be, to the point where she decided to end her life.  She slashed her wrists until unconscious because she almost ran out of blood.

If Nicole didn't get help soon, Scarlett was sure this girl could get into big trouble. Her life might be in danger. She could feel Nicole's pulse getting weaker.

All the way to the hospital, Scarlett didn't say anything. She just silently hold her tears while praying that Nicole would survive. 

Heading to the hospital, which only took a few minutes, felt like an eternity for Scarlett.

"Can you drive fast, James?" She had forgotten how many times she had asked James to speed up.

"Two minutes, ma'am..." James replied without batting his eyelashes as he stepped on the gas deeper.
