Wonderland ( BoyxMan)

Chapter 3: Sickness

[ The present]

Sudden sounds of harsh coughs swept through the room painfully.

" It's grandpa! Someone call the nurse, he's coughing up blood!" A blonde haired, green eyed girl desperately cried.

She quickly leaped around the room, frantically looking for anything disposable to the wipe the blood.

ANYTHING.

" Alyssa, hurry! " Andrew yelled, panting as he quickly tried to call a doctor through the emergency button at the top of the hospital bed.

"No one is answering!"

"I'll run there." Racing for the door, a black colored child assured his cousins in the grim room.

A sudden voice,however, interrupted them, stopping every children in their tracks bewildered.

"This is Mr. Oliver's doctor, Taylor Nguyen. Every person in that room will have to listen to me."

The tone frightened them, but they were glad to know that Dr. Taylor was with them. He usually visited Grandpa Oliver during checkup.

They nodded in harmony all around the room, sighing in relief, and some in frustration.

" Mr. Oliver has missed his medicine. While it might not be severe in a normal situation, his is... a special one."

Dr. Taylor was hesitant, he wasn't sure whether or not the children should be hearing this. It'd only cause more worry unnecessary worry and futile panic.

"Knowing this, I want you feed Mr. Oliver a pill of his medicine. I'm certain you'll find it near the nurse's work station of the room. It's labeled Pholasphideiac..! " He ordered.

"Leaving this to a bunch of incompetent kids." They heard Dr.Taylor snicker in anger through the microphone.

The children weren't sure what his anger was directed to, and they wouldn't want to discover it.

"That useless doctor forgot, and now he's tryna send his frustration to us." Andrew snapped, clearly not showing signs of appreciation.

"I'm sure he has a lot of burden already, He is a doctor after all." Alyssa comforted from a distance away.

She was a pitiful sight, fresh blood dripped from her clothes dramatically...

Taking the doctor's order in command, the children went to do their part of the help.

Fortunately, every children kept their panic to a minimal worry level in fear that if they do panic, they would mess up.

That meant the death of Oliver Scott.

And it wouldn't be something pretty.

DR. Taylor's Pov.
[Three hour earlier]

"This is ridiculous! " I screamed, ready to slam my fist against a door.

Or anything slammable that is.

"Calm yourself Taylor. We are dealing with an unknown disease. Most wise to stay patience with the results." Director Agnor grimaced.

I knew he wasn't satisfied either.

"Sir you- " Director Agnor raised his hand, silencing me.

"Look around the room, we are all as frustrated as you are! "

I knew he was right.

"Let the man continue his job. Nelson, if you may." Director Agnor motioned his hand towards a scrawny,short, and bald man.

The murmurs around the room halted to give him full attention

"Yes... see according to this diaphragm, the life source of Mr. Oliver is being sucked away drastically every attack he conspires. "

"This is a life and death situation that has never occurred in our Bell Liberty Hospital in the last 87 years of It's founding."

The doctors and nurse in meeting shook their head in surrender. He was right, and no one had the cure for it.

"This may seem like a 76 year old man even after looking at his aged organs. In reality see, he's actually 27." No one knew this. Or was suppose to keep it top secret.

I slammed my hand against the metal counter of the table." This was a secret! I told you to not make it public!"

My scream was so loud it apparently reached a patients room, a nurse told me later.

"You kept it a secret?!" Dr. Leigh shrieked and pointed her long bony finger at me.

"I demand him fired!'

After hours of nonsensical bickering,I glanced at my watch, 30 minutes past 5.
Racing outside the meeting to the speaker room, I surprise everyone and ended the conversation.

We had passed Mr.Oliver's medicine time. I forgot, the gorgeous nurse was also absorbed in the meeting.

This was getting out of hand!
