In Omnia Paratus (AU) - Book 2

Full recovery?

When I got to the hospital though lily and I were separated. I got treated straight away where they ruled out any back or neck injuries so they finally took the collar off of me.

I was told about Lucy and Olivia and their state. Pretty much fine.

I did ask for Victoria a few times just so she could give me the gossip on how lily was because all the other doctors wouldn't tell me.

"You can't pick and choose doctors Miss Coleman." The annoying woman said.

"There's nothing wrong with me." I complained starting to pull wires off of me and disconnect myself from things as I sat up abruptly.

"Jenna please." The woman said. "Lay down, relax and I'll find out how everything's going."

"I want to see her." I grumbled.

"I'll arrange it." She nodded going to the door and leaving me alone with nurses watching me through the windows.

There was nothing wrong with me. Okay I had a few cuts and bruises but they were worried about all of us since we all blacked out. Especially since I fainted almost twice.

"News on Lily, she had an emergency surgery when she came in a few hours ago and she's currently in recovery.

"Okay, Can I please see her?" I asked moaning at the nurse as she came back in, she was quite nice but we were just waiting around for test results so she could let me.

"Alright." She finally said but she went and got a wheelchair and I went in that if I wanted to go at all.

"Fine, okay." I said sitting down in the wheelchair and they took me there to Lily's room and after a while of waiting outside I went in see her.

"Lil." I said panicked as I took her hand straight away. "Hey what's up?"

"She's a bit groggy, is there anyone we can phone for you?" The Doctor asked me.

"Lil do you want your mum and dad? Matt?" I asked gently.

She nodded her head but I don't know what one she meant. "Her mum and dad please." I said nicely and then I thought I'll call Matt if need be.

"Lily you're going to be fine alright?" I smiled weakly at her as she turned her face to look at me.

"I had to have this operation." She said through a sore throat. I felt sudden wave of guilt flow over me. She looked rough and her head was still bandaged and she was bruised on every inch of her body. It made me want to cry.

"I know, I know they told me." I said slowly closing my eyes. It sounded awful, they had to remove the thing from her back pretty much straight away.

"I have to have another." Lily swallowed as she bunched her eye lid shut and tried not to cry.

"I know, but it's going to make you better." I chuckled a bit trying to keep things light but I saw her blink away some more tears.

"It's not guaranteed to work." She said tears coming to her eyes but she was smiling still.

"Don't think like that." I laughed lightly. "Of course it will."

"I could lose the use of my legs." Lily said letting her tears fall. I couldn't stand to see her so upset. I hadn't had time to process it all. Everything was happening too fast. She was now in floods of tears.

"Your parents are here." I said looking over at the door and being able to see her mum looking around for a Doctor to guide her to her room.

She just sighed a little bit as I changed the subject and then I sat back in my wheelchair and turned around looking for my nurse. I opened the door and called "Mrs James." And caught her attention to which she rushed over to me.

"Jenna are you alright?" She asked looking down at me as I sat in the wheelchair, then she changed her mind quickly. "Where's Lily? They said she needed an operat--" and her mum spotted Lily laying on the bed in the hospital room.

"Shes in here." I mumbled opening the door and wheeling myself in behind her mum. "Lil, your mums here." I said staying by the door whilst her mum went in and grabbed Lily's hand straight away.

"Mum I'm sorry." She mumbled starting to cry at which point I had to leave. I went back to my bed and sat there on the edge of the bed crying not sure what to do.

"Jenna I heard you were brought in what's happened this time--" Victoria said opening the curtain and then closing it behind her. "What's the matter?" She asked seeing me crying.

"Lily needs another operation, she could uh lose the use of her legs and it's my fault." I sniffed trying to seem okay.

"The accident wasn't your fault. The drunk motorcyclist laying in the hospital bed with a few scratches and broken ribs is to blame. This really isn't your doing." She tried to comfort me.

"I was driving." I mumbled.

"So? You were in the right. The man drove into you, you were just pulling out when there was a gap." Victoria said.

"I should of done something. I could of seen the motorbike--"

"From what the witnesses have told the police the bike was going over the speed limit and you wouldn't of even been able to react to what was going on." Victoria continued.

"What are the chances that Lily makes a full recovery?" I asked suddenly.

"It really does depend on how the operation goes." She said seriously. "We're prepping her. She knows what's happening and the risks and what will happen whatever way the operation goes."

"Her mums here and the minute Lily saw her she just burst into tears." I said sadly. "And Lucy and Olivia? I don't even know if they're okay. Are they okay?"

"Olivia's up and about and been discharged already. Lucy's still in bed they're uh concerned about some damage to her arm." Victoria said slowly.

"I should go and see her? Can I see her?" I asked.

"Yeah why not, let's go." Victoria helped me off the bed and we left my little cubicle.
