The next day, Jerlina woke up with the glaring sun falling on her face. She looked around the room and Daisy was not in the room. The blinds were pulled up and the windows were open bringing in a fresh scent of roses. Jerlina felt a lot better than the first day she was here. She still had severe bleeding, but she didn't feel much cramping. Her hemoglobin levels are slowly improving and she didn't feel much giddiness. She sat on the bed and her head didn't spin anymore and she took in a deep breath…-

Jeremy went back to Jerlina's room. He decided to stay in the hallway to make sure no one tries anything funny. When he got there, he couldn't help but sneak a peek through the glass and during the small timeframe when the wind blew the curtains away, he had a glance of Jerlina deeply asleep on the bed. He placed his hand on the door and before he knew it, he had opened the door and entered in. He looked around and realised Daisy was not in the room. He placed his hand on his heart as he felt his…

Jeremy was pretty happy as he walked through the hallways. He was planning on what to cook next for her. I saw the pumpkins in Martha's garden read to be picked... So maybe that pumpkin pie pudding? He was so happy, he wanted to go home to learn the recipe and give it a try before cooking for her. At that time, his phone rang with a notification. {Emma Cooper posted a picture...} The notification read and he immediately clicked the notification. Emma had posted a picture. Emma was with a…

Jerlina's eyes filled with tears as she caressed her abdomen that felt empty for her. Her back hurt constantly and her legs cramped up often. Due to anaemia, she felt giddy at times. More than the physical ailments, what hurt more was her heart. Should I follow my baby? Will he be waiting for me? What is left for me here? Why should I stay here? These thoughts popped in her brain often. But there is this little dark corner of this heart that wanted revenge. Revenge on the guy who took her…

"You can tell me if you want to meet them." Daisy spoke in a soft voice. "They said they'll wait for you." "Sure," Jerlina said with a slight smile. Although Daisy refused to help her with filing a complaint, she found Daisy's presence very comforting. She had such a soothing voice and gentle hands. "I'm sorry... I think I need to change..." Jerlina said hesitantly. She tried to sit up but she felt the room spinning and she gripped the sheet. "You have pretty severe bleeding, your blood Hb has…

Jerlina tried to squeeze out a smile, but her eyes burnt and she stopped trying to smile. "I'm fine, doctor." She looked at Dr. Kruger. "I want to leave. I can pay the bills-" "This is a charity hospital, Jerlina. You don't have to pay the bills. And you're not well enough to be discharged. I'm not advising you to leave now. " Dr. Kruger said as she scribbled something on her notepad. "And, you know how the streets here are like at night, dear," Daisy added in a very caring tone. Yes, the…

Dr. Kruger returned to her office to talk to her son, but then decided to check up on Jerlina first. She liked Jerlina as she invoked the motherly instincts in her. But she couldn't shake off this queasy feeling about Jerlina in her heart. But when she got to her room, the sight she saw made her heart clench. TJ was standing by the door, peeping in through the little glass window in the door. He's not crying anymore and she was slightly relieved. "Mom, when will she be discharged?" he asked noticing…

The entire room felt like a storm has passed. Nurse Daisy wiped her sweat in a towel and properly tucked in Jerlina. "Poor thing," she mumbled fixing the IV drip. "She must have loved that baby... She could feel she has lost it without the need for us to tell her." "Daisy!" Dr. Kruger admonished her for speaking too much, but the harshness was reeled back with a trace of familiarity and affection. After all, in this little clinic, everyone is considered family. "I know, Doctor. You're mad she called…

The truck raced through the highway, not minding the signals and the speed limits. And Jerlina was not in the mood to think of the law. She tried not to lose her consciousness as waves of cramps hit her. She was bleeding a lot and she still held hope. It will be fine. My baby will be safe. They were travelling towards the city and Jerlina knew there was a hospital within twenty minutes reach. She knew calling for ambulance would only waste time and hoped this monster would take her to the…
