The Synapse Between Us ✨ [MED SERIES # 6] COMPLETED

Chapter 35

Life don't always play the way we want it to be. You asked for more, it give you even lesser than what you prayed for. You asked for forever, it give you an ending.

It took us 15 minutes to take him to St. Akexandria Hospital. Buti hindi sya nakalayo. At buti may naka-standby na ambulance sa ER. Pagdating namin sinalubong kami agad nung mga doctor at nurses sa ER dept. Andun si Dom. He hugged me upon seeing me. I'm covered by blood, my satin cream dress was wrikled, my jacket was not long enough to cover my exposed legs. Dom immediately covered me with his lab gown.

"First OR nya, neuro-surgery." He informed me. Naglalakad kami papunta sa OR. He wanted to wait outside, I wanted  to watch. Bawal, usually. Pero mababaliw akong nasa labas lang.

"Who'll operate?" I asked with my voice trembling. Kitang-kita ko yung katawan nya. May overlooking na lugar para sa mga doctor na manunuod ng mga surgery.

"Your dad, first assist si kuya Ethan." He said while holding my hand. Tears fell like it's non-stop. Unang pumasok si kuya. I immediately switched on the speaker.

"Kuya, please save him. Tell dad. I'll die if he dies." I said crying. All the staffs looked upward to where I am staying.

"Why are you there? Bawal. Dom take her outside." Kuya talked with his tone higher than what he usually used to me.

"Louisse Alexandria, why are you there?!" Dad said angrily. Alam kong bawal. Hindi kami kasal, oo. Pero parang immediate family ako.

"I won't say anything, dad. Please, save him. I can't live without him. I'm begging you. I'll die if he dies." I said pleading. Dad sighed heavily. Si kuya yung nagdrill. Then, dad took over after. I was praying the whole time. Ilang beses bumaba yung blood pressure nya at heart rate. Ilang beses akong pina-alis ni daddy. Pati yung anaesthesiologist na ninong ko parang hindi makapagconcentrate sa akin.

"How many hours are they operating already?" I asked.

"Just four hours." He murmured. "Gusto mo bang kumain?"

I shook my head. "I can't leave. Dom, what have I done?"

"It's not your fault. We all know he drives recklessly." He said lowly. But, I know kinakabahan din sya.

"How many packs of blood were already infused?" I asked. Naka-ilang sabit na yung ninong ko. And he's pressing the bag harder.

"I lost count. I think he's bleeding a lot." He mumbled. We both looked at the monitor. There's swelling and severe hemorrhage.

"The swelling, it's a lot. What nerves will be affected?!" I asked sobbing.

"Don't think about that. Pray that he'll survive this surgery. Naka-standby na yung ibang surgeon." He uttered.

"Kain ka muna, Lou." Chloe said. Supposedly nasa bar kami. Pero andito siya. Sinasamahan nila ako.

"Bal, kain na." Dom repeated. I ate while watching from the monitor. Tapos na sila daddy. Umakyat sila ni kuya sa pwesto namin. Ang dami pa lang naka-standby na doctor. Mostly yung heads ng mga department.

"What's next?" I asked.

"Hepato-billiary surg." Kuya Ethan murmured. Sya na yung katabi ko at si daddy. Dad was holding my hand while he's watching from the monitor.

"It was moderate. Kaya nauna kami ni daddy. Don't worry." Kuya Ethan assured me. But the only assurance I need is if he survives tonight.
