Babysitter for the CEO

“What’s wrong with me?” Vanessa thought in fear. She looked towards her left and saw it was a recovery room. She felt like a force was drawing her to that room. “Hey, you!” The nurse suddenly turned around and called out to Vanessa with a frown on her face. “Hurry!” the nurse snapped and continued walking. “Yes!” Vanessa replied feebly. “Why didn’t I bring a jacket? I’m freezing” Vanesa thought as she walked after the nurse trying to keep up with her. Suddenly, everywhere became blurry and Vanessa decided to sit on a waiting couch. “I..” Vanessa suddenly lost all strength and fainted. The nurse turned around wanting to scold Vanessa only to see her fall to the ground. A worried expression appeared on the nurse’s face and she rushed to Vanessa while asking for help from the medical personnel using a ring. ********* Vanessa opened her eyes and the first person she saw was her friend Evelyn. She didn’t look harmed at all. Vanessa thought she must be dreaming. “Vanessa, I’m sorry. I feel responsible,” Evelyn said with guilt. “You..” “Yes, I’m a monied girl but I did not tell you because… I don’t even know the reason. Forgive me, friend. You’ll forgive me right?” Evelyn asked with puppy eyes. “I’m the sick one here now. You lied you were involved..”Evelyn cut her short. “It wasn’t… I did so… so you could come to me. But now it seems I..”Evelyn said with her head bowed low. “I understand. It’s not your fault. I think someone important to me is here. It’s the recovery room. Take me there.” said Vanessa stunning Evelyn, and, and the nurse assigned to take care of her. “Vanessa, you can’t leave. You..” “Am I paralyzed or something?” Vanessa asked. “Well… sort of” the nurse replied. “Put me in a wheelchair. I need to go to the recovery room now,” Vanessa said stubbornly. “Vanessa?” Evelyn called out in desperation, but Vanessa wouldn’t listen to her. Finally, she gave in and let the nurses help her sit in a wheelchair. “To the recovery room, ” Vanessa directed, and they took her to the place only that there was no one there. “Did I see it wrong? I’m sure that it’s here,” Vanessa thought in doubt. “So what did you come here to see Vanessa? An empty recovery room? You want to be in there?” Evelyn asked. “I feel a sort of connection. It’s like… that person is dear to me and needs me,” Vanessa said helplessly. “That must be your imagination. What sort of tosh is that? You believe in superstitions too? Vanessa!” Evelyn couldn’t understand her friend anymore. What was happening to her? “I’m not lying. I had a terrible dream of someone dying. He needed my help. I’ve got to find him, ” Vanessa defended but Evelyn shook her head. “Nurse, take her back to the room. She needs to rest” Evelyn said, and the nurse turned the wheelchair around. “No, I’ve got to find him, ” Vanessa cried and tried to get off the wheelchair, even though she knew she couldn’t walk. “Vanessa? Stop this. You need to rest and we also need to settle our misunderstandings.”said Evelyn as the nurse pushed the wheelchair forward. “Evelyn, you are my friend and you know me so well. Please let me find that person. He’s in this hospital” Vanessa cried again but Evelyn wouldn’t hear a word of it and let the nurse push the wheelchair back the way they came from. When they were about to make a turn, a redhead lady dressed in a black suit and silver heels ran past. “Nurse, Evelyn, let’s follow that lady that just ran past us, “Vanessa said with urgency in her voice. “What’s wrong with you, buddy? You couldn’t find the imaginary person you desired to see and now want to go after a random lady? Gosh!” Evelyn facepalmed. “Nurse, don’t listen to my friend. Take her back to the room,” Evelyn commanded. “Yes, miss, “the nurse said, and continued pushing the wheelchair forward. When they were almost close to the VIP room they had come out from earlier, Vanessa suddenly felt a pain in her chest. Evelyn noticed and asked with concern. “Are you okay?” “I… take me back. Follow that lady now or I will go after her” Vanessa threatened. “Nurse, push her in” Evelyn commanded. She was getting fed up with Vanessa’s nonsense. “Evelyn… I’m not lying. Someone is dying and I want to save him,” Vanessa said again this time in a pleading tone. “Sorry my friend, I can’t listen to your rubbish,” Evelyn said as the nurse pushed her inside the room. Vanessa clutched her chest and with gritted teeth spoke. “Evelyn, you must take me there now or I will get up,” Evelyn shook her head and sighed. ******* At another VIP room Little Lisa is currently fighting for her life with the doctors and nurses trying to resuscitate her. The BP monitor has been giving alarms and the doctors dare not slack off because if this girl dies, then this hospital would be closed down. At a corner of the room, is Lisa’s father who is currently listening to opera music sung by Dimash Kudaibergen on headphones. He’s lying on a couch with eyes closed even humming along with the song. If one sees him, one would not believe that his daughter is at the brink of death. Some nurses who stole a glance at him viewed him as the most heartless father ever seen on Earth. This girl was his offspring, but he doesn’t even care about her one bit. They pitied the poor girl and wondered where the mother is. ********

“Evelyn…” “You must rest or I’ll ask the nurse to force you to sleep,” Evelyn threatened. “Just this once, Evelyn. I’m really not lying. Someone important to me is dying and needs my help” Vanessa said again close to tears. “Nurse?” The nurse injected a sleeping drug into her arm and Vanessa fell asleep immediately bringing about a sigh from Evelyn who facepalmed. “I only tried to play a joke on her and then mend our friendship but what’s this? I don’t know what to do.” Evelyn muttered to herself. “Do not worry! She’ll be fine” the nurse consoled. “Yeah! She will.”Evelyn nodded.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
