REVENGE GIRL

Hospital…

Richmond Hill

Mom is yet to recover from her illness, so the surgery is going to be done soon. Everything has been arranged and we’re leaving for Seoul today for the purpose of the surgery. The surgeon would’ve come over to do the surgery, but since he’s busy over there, we are asked to go to Seoul and meet him. I pray this turns out well and she survives the surgery.

Standing on the balcony of the hospital and staring into space, memories of the past flash through my mind, and I sigh softly. Thinking about how I first met Harley and everything that happened this past years, still hurts me deeply. It hurts to let her go, it hurts to see her with another man, I wasn’t expecting the sudden turn of event, but then I have to accept my fate and move on with my life. Some times, the people we went in our lives aren’t always ours.

The sound of my ringing phone pulls my attention, and I sigh before checking the screen. It’s Harley.

“Hey…” Her sweet voice sounds through the phone as soon as I pick up the call. I miss her so much, I miss everything about her. Her smiles, her voice, her eyes and everything. After the incident, I have been avoiding her and rarely goes to see her, because I want to get over her. But it all seems to not be working.

“Hey… How’re you doing?” I asks her, trying to cover up my sadness and sound happy.

“I’m fine. Heard your flight is in two hours. Are you prepared for it already?” She asks me, and I nod although she can’t see me.

“Yes. I’m prepared for it. I’m at the hospital already and we’ll soon leave for the airport,” I reply to her.

“Alright. I’ll call you later. Nelson is safe here, so please do take care of aunt. She will be fine,” she says, and I smile.

“Sure, thank you…” The call ends afterward. Bringing the phone down slowly from my ear, I stare at the screen which has the picture of her on it. I have used her as my wallpaper for so long, and even after everything that happened, I’m still finding it difficult to delete it from my phone. I sigh deeply and click on the ‘settings’ icon on my phone and remove her picture from my wallpaper.

“Mr. Richmond… Everything is ready now, we should head to the airport,” one of the female nurses speaks up behind me, and I turn around to face her.

“Thank you…” We head inside afterwards…

11 hours later at the airport…

Richmond steps out of the plane, carrying his mom in his arms. There’s already an ambulance waiting for them, so he just walks over to the ambulance and lay her carefully in it, hopping in afterwards. The drive to the hospital is smooth and relaxing. Korea is a beautiful place to behold, and he enjoys the views a lot. But too bad that he won’t have the time to admire the place, since he’s here for something more important.

Thirty minutes later, the ambulance drives inside a five star hospital. The hospital is just like a skyscraper, it has many floors. The exterior design is worth gawking at. The siren of the ambulance alerts the nurses that there’s an emergency outside, as they bring out stretcher and take her away in it, while Richmond followed them.

The nurses takes her to the emergency room and she is placed under life support immediately.

“Meet me in my office,” the doctor comes out of the room after thirty minutes, and asks Richmond over to his office, before walking away.

A few minutes later in his office…

Richmond is sitting across the Korean doctor who’s around the age of thirty-one or thirty-two.

“You’re welcome to Korea, Mr. Richmond. My name is doctor Lee Joon,” he extends his hand to Richmond for a handshake. Anyone can tell from his accent, the country he is from.

“The pleasure is all mine,” Richmond takes his hand and smile at him.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Your mom’s case isn’t that critical again. Doctor Clement have taken care of some of her health issues, and the surgery is the only thing that now needs to be done. You should be rest assured, she has 90% chance of surviving. She will be fine,” Richmond’s face beams with smiles at the news he just heard, but again, he’s still worried about her. What if something goes wrong eventually?

“Thank you, doc. I’m grateful. Please when is the surgery going to be done?” He asks curiously.

“She is exhausted from the journey, and would need to rest for today. We can proceed tomorrow morning. First thing tomorrow morning,” the doctor explains.

“Alright, thank you,” he says.

“Uhm… I need to ask you a few questions before the surgery. It’s actually about your mom’s health. Does she have any trait of health problema before? Does she has allergies and also, her blood pressure. All of it needs to be taken into consideration, to avoid any form of risk later,” the doctor asks him, and he thinks about it for a while.

“As far as I know, she do not have at allergy and her blood pressure was quite OK. Although, I have no idea if it already risen after she fell ill. I think she will need to be checked on that,” he suggests, and the doctor nods.

“Alright. Thanks for your time. I’ll take note of that. It’s late already, you should get some sleep. The surgery is tomorrow,” the doctor says.

“Thank you,” Richmond stands up and ambles out of the office. He strides to the emergency room and stepping inside, his mom is lying on the bed with an oxygen tank fixed over her face, her eyes looks pale.

He walks over to the chair beside the bed and sinks into it. He takes her hand and give it a light squeeze, having a light smile on his face. Even if he don’t want to be nervous, even if he don’t want to think of negative things, they just keep coming to him naturally and he can’t stop it. How will he hang on if anything happens to her?
