Soon the mall staff told them about the ambulance arrival so Naomi took Lisa's blazer and rushed out with them. Lisa was about to stop Naomi to take his mobile to call Ruby Jane but Lara's parents noticed and identified Lisa.
"Doctor Manoban... Doctor Manoban, please save our daughter. Please don't let anything happen to her, we beg of you..."
As a doctor, it's his responsibility to give them hope even though he was angry at them for their way of taking care of Lara.
While he tried to calm them, Naomi saw Ruby Jane running away in front of them towards the other end of the floor with a man next to her.
Her eyes brightened thinking she was with a man, she wanted to show them to Lisa to add some misunderstanding between them but looking at the worry of Ruby Jane, she quickly changed her plans.
"Lisa, we should hurry up, you can talk to them on the way. Let's go, fast..." She pressed them to leave from there quickly before Ruby Jane's eyes could land on them.
He stretched his hand at her, "My mobile."
Naomi was jelly hearing him. She didn't want him to call Ruby Jane and hear the unreachable response. Will he stay back in the mall for Ruby Jane? No, Naomi didn't want that to happen
She quickly thought of a lie. "Don't worry, I had called Ms. Evans, she asked us to carry on." Instead of handing him mobile, she continued to rush him towards the exit.
Lisa was about to demand coldly, a melodious voice soon rang with a worrisome and also relief, "Lisa..."
Naomi didn't want to face Ruby Jane and Lisa together so she cussed Ruby Jane and behaved dumb and deaf as she ran out seemingly concerned about the little one knowing Lisa will go to the hospital.
Lisa turned around and saw Ruby Jane faintly smiling in relief running towards him.
They hadn't rested properly the previous night, Lisa didn't want Ruby Jane to see Lara and become sleepless. He wanted to go to the hospital to arrange top-notch surgeons for little Lara who always made Ruby Jane happy.
Deciding to tell Ruby Jane about Lara after her health stabilizes, he instructed mall staff to leave quickly, "I will inform at the hospital, make it quick, don't waste time anywhere."
He turned to Ruby Jane, he craved to embrace her but didn't have time so he held her arms to balance her. He felt bad for ditching their date again and he was also thankful that she will understand him if he leaves for the hospital so he didn't worry about Ruby Jane getting mad.
But to avoid Ruby Jane reading him worried and ask about the patient, he quickly minimized the words assuming Ruby Jane was thereafter talking with Naomi, "Ruby Jane, the patient looks very critical, I will tell you later about it. Go home, I will be back soon."
He nodded at Alex to keep her safe till she reached the JL mansion before patting her arm and left.
Probably he should have looked at her properly but he was blinded by the thought of seeing her in pain if she looked at Lara or watching her worriedly wait at the hospital till she hears about Lara.
He just wanted to make sure Lara isn't critical and Ruby Jane should be in relief when he tells about Lara.
...
At the M hospital,
Lara had lost lots of blood. Her father had the same blood type and was eligible to donate, the doctors arranged for it quickly and started the treatment.
Lara had broken her arms, as soon as she had fallen, she had instinctively covered her arms around her head causing most of the damage direct towards her hands, her knees were injured but not damaged, her face had wounds and the head was severly hurt, it was still unknown if her brain was damaged by the impact.
