CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Woodsboro Memorial Hospital is a large and imposing structure, with modern design elements that give it a sleek and contemporary feel. The building is comprised of several stories, with gleaming white walls and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The main entrance is framed by a pair of tall pillars, with a covered drop-off area that offers protection from the elements. The doors themselves are made of glass and metal, with a clean and minimalistic design that reflects the hospital's commitment to cutting-edge medical technology.

Inside, the hospital is a maze of hallways and corridors, with polished floors and muted lighting that gives it a soothing ambience. The walls are adorned with modern art pieces and photographs of smiling patients, giving the space a warm and welcoming feel.

The patient rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds and high-tech medical equipment that is both advanced and user-friendly. The windows offer sweeping views of the surrounding area, and there is always a sense of tranquillity and calmness in the air.

In the lobby, there is a large reception desk staffed by friendly and knowledgeable personnel who are always eager to assist patients and their families. There are comfortable chairs and sofas arranged in small groupings, providing a welcoming and comfortable space for visitors to relax and unwind.

Charlie and his friends arrive at the hospital, looking around cautiously before slipping inside. They move quickly and quietly, trying to avoid attracting attention as they make their way through the busy corridors. The hospital is a hive of activity, with doctors and nurses bustling about, and patients and their families coming and going. Charlie and his friends keep their heads down, trying to blend in with the crowd as they navigate their way towards their destination. As they move through the hospital, they pass by countless doors and rooms, each one holding the promise of a new and potentially life-changing encounter. They can hear the sounds of medical equipment beeping and whirring, and the faint murmur of voices as doctors and nurses attend to their patients.

The nurse leads Charlie and his friends into a private room, where she asks them to take a seat while she prepares for the examination. The room is small but well-equipped, with a comfortable bed in the centre and a variety of medical equipment lining the walls.

Charlie sits on the end of the bed, his face drawn and sad as the nurse begins asking him a series of questions. She asks about the nature of his injury, how it happened, and whether he has any other medical conditions or allergies.

As he answers her questions, Charlie's voice is quiet and subdued, his eyes downcast as he speaks. It is clear that he is in pain, both physical and emotional, and that he is struggling to come to terms with what has happened.

The nurse is patient and kind, taking her time to listen carefully to his answers and offering reassurance and support as needed. She is gentle and compassionate, and her calm demeanour helps to put Charlie at ease, even amid his pain and confusion.

As she finishes her examination, the nurse offers Charlie a small smile and a few words of encouragement. She assures him that he is in good hands and that the hospital staff will do everything in their power to help him recover as quickly and comfortably as possible.

Charlie nods, his eyes still clouded with sadness and pain, but there is a glimmer of hope in his gaze. He knows that he is not alone, that he has his friends by his side, and that there are caring and competent medical professionals who are working to help him heal. With a deep breath, he resolves to face whatever challenges lie ahead, knowing that he is not alone in his journey to recovery.

"It'll all be over soon, Charlie" Oliver said.

Charlie nodded. He knew his friend was right.

Outside the hospital, a frenzy of activity erupts as reporters and news crews swarm the area, jostling for position and trying to get the latest scoop on the breaking story. Cameras flash and microphones are thrust towards anyone who will talk, as the reporters compete to be the first to break the news.
