OBSESSED

Episode 9

“Mum wants to tell us something but she’s struggling” Lizzy announced as soon as Jade entered the room “she mentioned something like a picture… I’m not sure”

“Really?” Jade walked up, surprised as she dropped down her bag

“Mum do you want to tell us anything?” she drew closer to the bed, staring eagerly at the conscious woman

“Pppiiiiiss” her mother struggled to talk further, squeezing her hands and bending her lips

“What are you trying to do?” the doctor walked in “I told you not to force her talk”

“But she wants to say something really important. I can feel it” Lizzy defended

“Miss, please, I’d advice you to leave her. Trying to make her talk, especially on something very important will make my work difficult” the doctor said, frustrated

“ But she..” Lizzy spoke half way
“Okay doctor. We understand” Jade interrupted Lizzy

“But Jade…” lizzy whined as soon as the doctor left the room
“Shhhhh. Even if we really want to find out what happened to mum, we cant do that at the expense of her health. I’ve got another idea” Jade brought out a notebook and a pen

“She cant talk, but she can use her right hand”. She moved forward towards her and stretched out the paper towards her

“mum, there’s been a lot going on right now in my life. Dess is missing and her mother too. I know you might not know them but I feel strongly that whatever made you this way might give me a clue of what has been going on in my life lately. I know your limbs are still weak, but as much as you can give, please tell me what you know” jade looked straight into her mother’s eyes and leaned forward, extending the writing materials to her.

Her mother took it and wrote “DESS” tho not really legible, Jade knew what she wrote

“Dess? You know her?” Jade asked curiously still waiting for more
“lizzy lock the door and cover it with the curtain” she ordered still leaning towards her mum

“PICTURE” her mother wrote again in a blank space of the note, tho still not really legible, it confirmed what Lizzy had said earlier.

“MY ROO…” her mother wrote one more time, before her hands began to shake and wobble. Her feet shook and her whole body

“DOCTOR!” Jade shouted with all her strength as her mother shook fiercely on the bed. Foams came out of her mouth and she fell over to the other side of the ground. Then she passed out

“SHE’S DEAD!” lizzy shouted as she found her mother lying unconsciously on the ground “she is fucking dead” she cried out shaking her mother. Jade ran towards the hallway,

“NURSE!” “DOCTOR!” “SOMEONE HELP!” she shouted as team of doctors and nurses stormed into the room and carried her to the emergency ward.

A doctor approached them shortly after. “When did you admit your mother here?” was the first thing he asked upon getting to them. Jade turned to Lizzy for answer

“Tuesday last week” lizzy was still shaking
“Was that the ward she stayed from the beginning?” the male doctor questioned further, scrabbling on the case file

“No, when I rushed her here on Tuesday, a doctor took her to special room 208. Then two days later, when she was feeling better, another doctor came and took her here, this ward. The doctor started treating her, giving her drips and taking care of her”.

“as a matter of fact, this ward is not designated for her type neither is special room 208… ” he paused for a moment “can you tell the name of the doctor?”

“I remember seeing ETHAN on his coat” Lizzy said
“first off, your mother’s condition is critical. Although she did not die, she was poisoned, and according to our report, she was poisoned though her drip. Second, she is not supposed to be admitted into special ward 208 nor this ward. Both wards are for patients who have died and are kept in it before the mortuary patrol team comes in duty every two days to take the dead bodies away. It happened that special ward 208’s dead bodies were collected on Sunday last week, and…. Wait you said the doctor’s name is ETHAN right” he asked puzzled

“I guess so. That’s what I saw on his coat”

“the Ethan we had here, was transferred two years ago to another hospital and we have…” th doctor barely finished his statement when a nurse approached

“we need your attention doctor”
“excuse me” he said and left.

“she was poisoned?” Jade asked, thinking critically “by who?”
“THE DOCTOR!” both Lizzy and Jade responded the same time, looking at each other

“someone sent him” lizzy said

“he took her into a ward not functioning for treatment and sedated her” Jade said

“he wore the coat of someone who had left the hospital two years ago” Lizzy joined in

“and worked like a doctor.” Jade said, walking along the hallway, to and fro

“he couldn’t have entered in and performed like a doctor if he wasn’t helped by someone” Lizzy too joined

“and whatever information mum knows, must be very important, very important that the doctor doesn’t want us to know“ she remembered what he mother wanted to say

“we have to file a report”

“Lizzy where’s the notebook” jade asked, looking around. They went inside and came out, looking for the note book

“it’s no where to be found” Lizzy got scared

“the doctor is still around. Go this way,” Jade pointed to the right side “and ill go this way”.

They parted ways, Jade pacing up, checking every corner. Lizzy too, looking for the mysterious doctor.

Jade checked each room, proceeding to the reception area. Just then, she noticed a dead end at the other side to the reception are. She walked up to the place and saw a coat on the floor. “ETHAN” was written on the badge of the white laboratory coat. She took it, and walked further. She saw a mask of a male on the floor and an eye glass she saw the doctor wear, it was shattered. Someone stepped on it while walking “He’s running away” she said and walked up to the reception area. Got to the security man in duty and told him of her report.

“I’m sorry miss, there’s no case of this nature here. We did not see any man walk out in haste and no body can impersonate a doctor while we’re on duty. This hospital is fully watched on our security room and they didn’t call out for help nor report of any case of this nature. I’m sorry” he concluded and walked away.

Jade was left in her mystery, she kept staring into space, thinking of how she can get out of this nightmare…
