Lovely Problems

Chapter 27

The heart rate monitor kept repeating with the constant beeping.
Lucy and a nurse were standing on the other sides of the bed.

"Here is his secret diary. It taught us a lot of things. Things we never knew and things we knew from the start, like how he loved you.", Lucy passed the Diary to Helena, "One of the things we didn't know was that...you were a cheater."
Helena looked at the diary solemnly and placed it in her carry bag. "I'm so sorry..."
"I guess we can't completely blame you, but you broke his heart which lead to this...", Lucy spoke.

Lucy left the room, sobbing but in a mature way. Tears left wet marks on the carpet under Helena's feet.
"What happened to him?", Helena cried.
"I'm not sure if his family wants me to tell you...", the nurse murmured.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM? IF HIS FAMILY WANTED ME TO COME, OF COURSE I HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW!"

The nurse sighed. "According to our X-Ray scanning, Jordan's brain has severe blood clotting. We believe that it was caused by violence or physical injury."
"WELL IT'S NOT TOO LATE, HIS HEART IS STILL BEATING! HOW ARE YOU GUYS SAVING HIM?", Helena screamed.
"We can't, well not here. Even though this hospital is the best in the country, we don't have the required tools and resources to perform surgery or even give him treatment. The best thing to do is for him to fly to America, where many hospitals can treat him with the available resources."
"No...What. THAT IS AN ABSOLUTELY STUPID IDEA! YOU ADULTS SAY YOU CAN HELP US, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS DO WHAT YOU SAY!"

"Neither did you!", a deep female voice responded.
Helena looked up to realise that Jordan's mother had come into the room.
"Helena. How dare you do this to my son? My whole family trusted you."
"No that's not it! Strange things happened to me, I did my best for Jordan!", Helena argued.
"I don't think so..."
Jordan's mum wiped her bitter tears with her sleeve. "Let's go outside."

"Why did you cheat on Jordan? For God's sake you are CHRISTIAN!", Jordan's mum bolted.
"I'm sorry...it wasn't exactly cheating, I was just confused...", Helena stuttered.
Helena could hear Jordan's mum's panting becoming louder and louder.
She lifted her right arm up with her palm opened and delivered a powerful smack to Helena's face.
When she was preparing to slap once again, her husband caught her arm and shook his head lightly.

"Can I help in any way? To...recover Jordan?", Helena whispered.
"Not even the skilled doctors can treat him here. We might have to leave for America.", Jordan's dad discussed.

A spark suddenly appeared in Helena's head. "Music! Violin!"
"Music has the power to heal!", Helena jumped.
"That makes no scientific sense! Maybe we should just kick her out already!", Jordan's mum hissed.
"It's worth a try!", Helena contradicted.

Helena sprinted to the elevator.
"I will save you Jordan, with music."
