Nurse Charlie just strokes my cheek gently.

"If you don't want to smile, don't force yourself to. You'll be okay." She says calmly. I was still confused about her, I thought she was dead.

"Wait, when did you come here?" I ask as both of them help me sit up.

"Well... I wasn't dead you know. Bob over here just made them give me my supplement of insulin since I'm diabetic. Played dead. Bet you believed it." She chuckles, high fiving Doctor Bob who was on my other side. A smile naturally crept up on my face.

"What did they do to you? I thought you were also bad." I turn to Doctor Bob, who owes me an explanation.

"I was bullied by them in high school. Charlie helped me get over the trauma. In return, I'm helping her. At first I didn't want to, but as soon as I saw Olivia's determination, something changed." He says, as I look at him, quite proud.

"Ah, Olivia has that effect, doesn't she? She threatened me to help her too." I laugh, Nurse Charlie and Doctor Bob do the same. The mood lightens up a lot from here.

"Just a question... how long was I.. well, you know?" I ask, quite curious.

"Nearly two days. We were scared to death. Thankfully, it was your stress levels." Nurse Charlie says, her smile dropping slightly then going back up.

"Hello. See you're wide awake." A nurse comes up to me, holding a tray of food. I recognise the face, but don't say anything to keep my composure. I don't want to die again.

"Really? They sent you, again? Tell them to send someone else." Nurse Charlie scoffs, folding her arms, Doctor Bob just rolls his eyes. She gives them a death stare and walks off.

"That's-"

"Your mother. We know." They both say in unison. "You know, I'm not even surprised if she's in on it too. A lot of people who are in the asylum ward here get admitted there." Doctor Bob starts off the gossip. 

"Really?" I ask, quite intrigued by the information.

"Yeah, didn't you know? Peter's from there." Nurse Charlie adds on. Wow. That little guy.

"About him. He's so adorable, but so annoying. He pops out anywhere. He was supposed to switch rooms with Olivia then this happened." I confess.

"He's in on it too, with Evelyn and Annabelle." Nurse Charlie says.

"Nurse Evelyn too? Ugh, my father." I sigh, quite annoyed. This man was not here for most of my life, when he comes into it, he ruins it. I wish I never came here. I suddenly feel dizzy again, just thinking about the situation I'm in.

"Ah, we shouldn't have said this. Rose, you should get some rest. You've gone a bit pale again." Doctor Bob says as I massage my temples. I try to lie down, but it happens again. This time, my breathing stopped completely and my hands were shaky. A few seconds later, everything was shaking and sweating. My vision gets distorted and everything turns from blurry to dark again. The last thing I saw was the concerned looks of Doctor Bob and Nurse Charlie and feel them trying to lay me down properly.

1:30PM, HOSPITAL

"Bob! Why did you name the people in on the plan?" Nurse Charlie slaps his arm.

"That's not what matters right now, she's not breathing. Go call someone." Doctor Bob pleads, gently touching Rosalynne's heart, then starting compressions. Nurse Charlie darts through the hallway, only to run into the person she didn't want to run into.

"Hurry, she's not breathing." She says, out of breath.

"I thought you wanted someone else." Nurse Cassandra replies, folding her arms.

"For god's sake, she's your daughter, Cassie. Pull it together and call company if you need to. She is not breathing. At all." Nurse Charlie yells, making the other staff naturally hear her.

"Whose not breathing?" A doctor asks, quite concerned.

"Follow me, my colleague is doing chest compressions. This nurse isn't any help." They both run down the hallway, along with some more staff into the room Rosalynne was in. Doctor Bob was performing CPR, trying to revive her. 

"Get the laryngoscope, hurry." The doctor says, signalling another nurse to go as she pushes Doctor Bob away from CPR.

"Wait outside, both of you. Trust us, we'll handle it." The doctor gives them a soft reassuring smile.

2:45PM, HOSPITAL

"Thankfully, she's started breathing properly. Her stress levels are at an all time high, we're going to have to keep her in for another week to monitor her and run some tests. May I ask, what's causing all of this?" The doctor asks, Nurse Charlie and Doctor Bob let out sighs of relief.

"Ah, exams." Doctor Bob lies and Nurse Charlie looks at him confused, then nods when he nudges her.

"I see. Perfectionist, she seems like if that's the case. Tell her to start meditating." The doctor says, patting Doctor Bob on the back as she walks back off. Nurse Charlie then turns to him.

"Why'd you lie to her?" She asks.

"She can't know we come from somewhere made up, or else we could get put in jail." Doctor Bob says as he glares at Nurse Charlie.

"Well, maybe not me buutttt.. OW." Nurse Charlie starts to state until a hard pinch interrupts her. "Okay, don't worry. I've already found a way out of this mess, the lawyers are testing my patience. Rose will get better too." She states, looking at the room Rosalynne is in. "You should go, I'll stay with her. Inventor will fire you otherwise." Doctor Bob nods, then leaves.

3PM, OLIVIA DIARIES

I wonder how Rose is doing. She's probably gotten princess treatment like I did. My appetite was kinda lost since the day she collapsed, I heard it happened another time too so.. I didn't really eat much. All I've been doing is staring at my plan for the past few days. Part of me says to do it with Rose. Another thing... the conversations with Inventor, Doctor Greg and Peter are also interesting. It'll be enough evidence for them to be put in jail. 

"Olivia!" Doctor Bob comes towards me, quite concerned that I was all alone.

"How's Rose?" I ask, his face is now full of sorrow.

"It happened again in the hospital. She's staying for an extra week." He says, my smile drops however I compose myself.

"Why that's a shame." I say, quite monotone.

"You look hun-"

"Nah, I'll eat when she comes back." I say, still clutching my stomach to prevent it from rumbling.

3PM, CAMERA ROOM.

"Well hello, Cassandra."

▪■author's note■▪

so, i was half asleep writing the last chapter and didn't realise i had to write another hospital scene until today. so, now rose is at the hospital. she'll be staying there for a while. olivia diaries will probably continue until rose comes back or i'll probably do a time skip of when she does come back.

also, i think this is the shortest chapter. and cassandra is in the camera room. hehehe

anyways, hope you liked the chapter, it was also difficult to write since i wrote another hospital scene. the plot is getting quite deep, i guess.

thank you for reading ♡♡♡
