INTERTWINED PERFECTION {Currently Editing}

CHAPTER 30

IVAN:

The ambulance that took Rufi away had to heliport her to an hospital on the island when they noticed the internal bleeding was so severe she needed instant surgery.

I had threatened to sue them when I was refused to see her after surgery. Its not like I was planning on that but what's to saying it if that would allow me access to see her.

A female Doctor who felt my Agony and desperation finally allowed me to see her.

"five minutes, and try not to upset her"

I had done exactly what I'd been told not to. Seeing Rufi hooked up with all those wires and tubes sticking out of different parts of her anatomy made me cry.

As if she sense me crying even though i was quiet her body began to spasm, so much that the alarm went off. Nurses rushed in with a Doctor and one of the nurses gave me a death glare before I was dragged outside.

That's all I got for my five hours of shouting. Less than a minute with Rufi.

Rufi got out of surgery at 10am and the doctors did not leave her side until twelve and since then I had begged to see her after asking a nurse how she was fairing and she said "her vitals are weak Mister".

I pleaded with her doctor to see her and when that didn't help I yelled, by three pm it was clear no one was listening to me.

I got so pain filled I told anyone who cared to listen that I would sue the hospital. No one needed to tell me I was near insanity. I'd prefer madness over the anguish I was feeling.

When I day exhausted my vocabulary I fell to the crush and tears rolled down my eyes. I seem to have cried a lot this past twenty-four hours.

Bernice went to speak to a woman, the doctor who had looked at me with motherly love and concern, something I got only from my Nana never from my own mother, she allowed me go in after promising not to upset Rufi.

Getting dragged out of the ICU seeing hurried hands pressing buttons and adjusting so many things to stabilize Rufi, I know I had disappointed that doctor who had bent rules to let me in.

"I didn't do anything" I said drained as I dropped into one of the couch in the waiting area

"it wasn't your fault" Bernice said trying to soothe me as she took Ana-Blaire from me.

"Ivan!" Callie called as soon as she saw us.

"Callie" I said weakly standing to welcome my sister. She hugged me tight.

"I'm so sorry Ivan" she cried.

The doctor who had allow me go in came out of the ICU at that time. I braced my self for whatever she might want to say praying Rufi was alright.

She looked at me conflicted as she had an internal battle that was so obvious, there was a struggle between her mother and Doctor personality. The mother won.

"She's stable, as stable as she can be right now" she announced and I sagged with relief

"Did you not know better than to cry in front of a critically ill patient?" She scolded.

"I didn't mean to" I said ashamed.

"I know" she smiled "but no one is allowed to see her for at least six hours we need to monitor her. And," she gave me a pointed look "you are not allowed to see her for the next fourth eight hours"

"What?!" We three said in unison

"that's right" she replied totally Doctor now "that's what's best for her. Her having a seizure shows that the felt your respiration and unconsciously tried to react" she looked me squarely "we can't have more of that, we hope she'd be off danger in the next fourth eight hours" if she stays that long. She left that hanging.
