SILENT SLAVE

Chapter 9

EMILY'S POV

   I got a call from Rachael saying Brenda was rushed to the hospital.

She gave me the address and I boarded a taxi to the location.

I had to snick out while karma was fast asleep.
The alcohol still has an effect on him.

I got to the hospital and a nurse gave me details of Brenda's room number.

I walk down the hall and see a brown painted door - CH RECOVERY WARD 003.

I open the door and walk in.

I see Rachael and Molly.
There's a man talking to them whom i'm guessing is Brenda's doctor.

I look around for my girl. She's on a bed placed at the corner of the room.

I rush to her bed.

"Omg!my baby!Brenda dear,mummy's here.
Say something please." I cry.

For the first time since i entered the room, they notice me.

"Mam, you'll need to move away from her please! If I may ask, who are you?" He asks me.

"She's my daughter." I say softly.

"Oh! In that case, have a seat." He tells me, pointing to an empty chair opposite Brenda's bed.

I walk over to the chair and sits.

He does the same.

"Mrs..." He hangs on looking at me, waiting for me to give him my name.

"Emily." I tell him. "Emily Michael."

He nods.

"Mrs Michael, i'm sorry but your daughter is being faced with a psychological trauma right now.
She was raped." He pauses to look at my reaction.

I wipe the tear that had escaped my eyes and nods for him to continue.

"She needs urgent therapy as soon as she recovers. If possible, I'll advice you file a report against this person who has molested your daughter to avoid further abuse in the future." He finishes.

I nod.

"Thank you doctor. I'll do just that." I say, getting up.

He gets up too and exits the room.

Rachael and Molly who had been quiet all this while were now sitting beside Brenda.

I walk towards them.

"Thanks for bringing her here." I hug Rachael.

She lets go.

"What are friends for?" She gives me a weak smile.

"Please look after her for me." I tell her, looking away.

"What! You're leaving?" She asks me but I don't answer.

"She needs you Emily. She needs you now, more than ever." She says almost in a whisper.

Tears flow down my cheeks and I don't try to stop them.

How will I face her when she wakes up? I'm her mother. Yet I couldn't protect her.

"I know, that's why its important I leave for now." With that I walk out.

I exit the hospital building and called a taxi.

"Take me to Karma's cruise residence." I tell him.

I have some scores to settle!
