CHAPTER 38

JORDAN'S P.O.V

"SYD!" Saya teriak.

Ngam-ngam pager saya berbunyi signal for an emergency case. Saya kejarangan bawa old school pager. But today one of the days yang tiba-tiba tergerak hati saya mahu bawa. Saya ternampak Sydney berlutut tersungkur di lantai sambil menangis. DUBS jantung saya! Then saya mengalih pandangan saya to the person on the stretcher!

HOLLAND! Berlumuran darah di atas stretcher yang sedang diusung oleh the hospital staffs! Saya berlari ke arah Holland and stopped the stretcher. He's losing a lot of blood, putih pucat sudah muka dan bibir dia. His breathing getting heavily bad.

"SHIT!" Saya teriak dalam panic. "HOL! WAKE UP! STAY ALIVE, HOL!"

"Jo... Jor... Jor---- dan." Suara Holland lemah. "Ta... ta... take ca... care o—o—of Be—Be— Belle. Ma-ma—marry her. Pro---pro---mise?" Holland tersenyum and he closed his eyes!

"FUCK YOU, HOLLAND!" Saya teriak dan tampar muka Holland, memaksa dia untuk sedar dan bertahan. "FUCK YOU!"

Saya tidak sedar sudah kuat saya menangis, tambah lagi dengan Sydney yang meraung dalam tangisan. Staff-staff yang mengurus Holland semua tengok saya dengan expression yang terkejut.

"Doc? Patient?!" Seorang staff tanya. Nurse Emi and the team sudah bersedia di dalam emergency operating room, with all my tools and equipment.

They pushed Holland masuk to the operating theatre and on the operating bed. The operating light yang terang-benderang lit up upon Holland's nearly lifeless body. All the hoses and wires plugged in and the ventilator switched on. His pulse is too weak.

Shawn standing next to me, fully equipped juga.

"Patient, 29, Holland Robinson, shot on the chest at Kuala Lumpur Court Complex." Shawn brief me. "The bullet hit to the left of his chest."

Shawn meneliti bahagian dada yang peluru tersebut telah menembusi Holland's flesh. We pumped in more blood from the blood bank, hopefully cukup bekalan darah hospital.

"Any connection, Jordy?" Shawn tidak tahu pula yang Bella's surname is Robinson. So dia tidak tahu the patient lying on the operation bed is Bella's brother.

"He's family." Saja saya jawab dengan suara yang sebak.

Shawn became silent, tapi sempat juga dia menatap saya sekilas. I can't read his expression in the mask and cap he's wearing. Nurse Emi passed me the scalpels and forceps. Saya penetrated deep into Holland's flesh.

"Put pressure, Shawn." Saya mengarahkan Shawn. "Stop the bleeding!" Berpeluh-peluh sudah mata saya. Tiba-tiba kedengaran ada banging on the door of the operation room.

Mata kami semua saling bertatapan antara satu sama lain, tu pintu kalis bunyi so we can't hear anything but the banging. Saya menggelengkan kepala saya, signal to ignore the banging and focus on the surgery.

It took me 4 hours untuk mengeluarkan the bullet. I continued to the aorta, both left and right subclavians were affected hard by the bullet shot. It was another 8 hours. Saya ignore saja perut saya yang berombak-ombak kelaparan, I only focused on Holland.

Tiba-tiba the ventilator berbunyi. Tiiiiittttt! The pulse line is getting weak and the life line on the ventilator screen is straightening!

"ICD!" Saya teriak, pantas Shawn passed me the defibrillator.

"1,2,3!" BAAPPP! Holland kena countershock di dada. No response.

"1,2,3!" BAAPPP! 2nd attempt, no response.
