Chapter 42 Wrong injections?
“The injections… I gave your wife the wrong injections”he panicked.
Janelle’s heart skipped a beat.
Whaaat????…
Her stomach tightened and she suddenly felt dizzy.
“I… I…. mistakenly took the injection meant for a woman with mental problem I use to go treat at home and brought it here thinking it was her injection.”he explained.
“You don’t mean it”George stuttered as he slowly stood up.
He didn’t know what to say.
It was a wrong injection?
He was speechless.
“I… am… sorry.”the doctor breathed out.
“Is .. is there a way to… to cure it?.. to…”George gibbered.
“I’m.. afraid there is not.”the doc sighed.
“Are you shitting with me??”he yelled.
“Mr George, please calm down”
“Don’t tell me calm down!!!!. Are you that incompetent?. How could you make a mistake like that??!!. I don’t care how you’re going to do it but I’m giving you ten minutes, ten minutes to get a cure here or else!”he let’s out angrily on top of his voice.
The doctor moved back in fear.
And, then, a nurse came.
“Doc. Sorry, I did a mistake. The injections meant for the other woman is still in the cupboard. I’m sorry. I was mistaken”
“What?, are.. you sure?”the doctor asked.
“Hundred percent sure, sir.”the nurse nodded.
That was a great relief.
The doc slides down to the floor, breathing in and out.
That was a great relief.
George let’s out a sigh, palming his face.
“I’m sorry for the wrong information, Mr George.”the doctor apologized.
George looked back at Janelle and saw her eyes closed.
He furrowed his brows and walked to her.
“Janelle”he says, taking her hand.
He tapped her softly.
“Jan”he called again.
She didn’t got a response from him and his heart suddenly aches.
He scoffed and slowly placed his ear on her chest.
She’s still breathing
“What’s wrong with her?”the doc asked, concerned.
He stood up and walked to them.
He checked her pulse and saw it’s fine.
“I think she fainted out of fear.”he said to George.
“She will be fine.”he added.
George only nodded.
The doctor turned around to leave.
“Is it possible for her to be discharged tommorow?”
“If it’s your wish, then, very well.”
“You will come treating her at home”
“Yeah”
And he left.
George brushed down his face with his palm and sighed.
“Yeah. I said it. You’re scared cat”he looked at Janelle.
She was sleeping so peacefully.
“Then, good night”he brushed her hair back.
He placed his head on the space beside her and soon, slept off.
..
“Ma’am Janelle!!!!!!”someone yelled.
George jerked back and raised his head, ready to curse the person that disrupted his sleep this early morning.
He saw a girl standing there, tears streaming down her chubby face.
She suddenly palmed her mouth.
George was taken aback.
“Who are you?”
She turned to him.
“Sorry?. Who are you?”she repeated.
George frowned.
What’s up with her?.
“Oh, oh, you must be the husband”
“The husband?. Alright, that’s ludicrous!”George scoffed.
Lydia looked away from him and to Janelle.
Janelle shifted on the bed.
“Oh, she’s waking up”Lydia says.
She opened her eyes and saw blur vision of a girl grinning.
She closed her eyes again and her hand slowly slides down from her face as she let’s out a tiny groan.
She opened her eyes again.
Her vision got clearer and she was able to see that the girl was Lydia.
“Lydia”she called out weakly.
What’s she doing here?.
How did she know the hospital she was in?.
“Ma’am!”she replied her call and ran to her side.
“Are you okay, ma?”
“I… I am. But, how did you know here?”
“I asked miss Diana.”
“Diana?’
“Yes. I’m sorry. I was just so worried about you. It isn’t her fault. I pressurized her to give me the address cause she didn’t want to give me at first. I’m sorry. For passing the boundary.”Lydia explained. She looked down dolefully.
“No. Of course, I’m happy you’re here so.. and also, thanks for worrying over me. I wonder how good I am to deserve such love from you.”
“You deserve it all, ma’am Janelle.”Lydia grinned.
She suddenly looked at George and smiled.
“He is really your husband, right?”
“Yes”
“Awn, he’s really gorgeous”Lydia cheek flushed.
“Ah, he is. You can have him if you want”Janelle smiled.
Lydia turned to her with reddened cheek.
“I was only appreciating his beauty. I wasn’t really crushing on him”
“Oh, maybe you don’t know. If you’re appreciating a man’s beauty, that means you’re already crushing on him. So, what did you say again?”Janelle teased.
Lydia let’s out a smile.
“My hands are in the air”she dramatically raised her hands up.
“Oops!. Too bad there’s no handcuff here but I’m going to pardon anyways”
“I’m honored, your honor”Lydia bowed.
They both bursted out laughing at the same time.
“You just made my morning, Lydia”
“And, you just did also. So, I brought some muffins for you. I prepared it by myself”she said, bringing out a plastic stored with muffins.
“Okay, I’m honored, Lydia. Thanks”Janelle collected the plastic from her and opened it.
“I’m sure it would be very delicious”
“Well. I’m not a good cook so I guess I’m not sure, no, I shouldn’t be sure”
Janelle picked up a muffin and took a bite then closed your eyes.
She munched on the muffin.
She picked up another one and munched.
She picked up another one again.
George scoffed at the scene and Lydia looked more anxious than ever.
Maybe the muffin tastes bad and she doesn’t wanna look at her.
Is that how bad it is?.
“How is it?”she asked, curiously.
“Hmm…”Janelle picked up another muffin.
“You… should open your eyes. I understand.”Lydia mouthed.
“You think I’m still on Earth cause I think I’m in Heaven.”Janelle says, her eyes still closed.
She opened her eyes and let’s out a large smile.
“This is heavenly!.”
“Really?”Lydia asked, flushed.
“I mean it. It really is”
“Thank you”
“Here, have a taste also.”she proffered the plastic to her.
“I’ve had many of so thank you”
She proffered it to George.
“Take one.”
“No, thanks”he rolled his eyes.
“Well, your loss”Janelle said.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lydia left after some minutes of chatting with Janelle.
George went back home to get some clothes that Janelle will change into after discharge.
He came back afterwards and after Janelle’s discharge, they both went home in his car.
