Chapter 22: Vitamin. Me.

❄️

Adrenaline rushed through his veins as he ran through corridors in a black Nike sweatshirt and blue faded jeans and sneakers, everyone giving him weird looks that what's wrong with the always 'sophisticated' Jack Frost? But he didn't care what they thought about him.

He finally reached that one particular room.

312B Patient Room.

He took in a deep breath, as he looked inside through the glass window, many emotions were swirling inside his chest and he couldn't exactly name those emotions seeing her sitting on her hospital bed, her back leaning on the pillows. There were almost faded bruises on her face and on her arms. She was looking down and she looked like somebody else, not speaking anything, not a smile on her face, her once twinkling crystal blue eyes were blank. There was Dr Tadashi and other two nurses checking her vitals. Eugene was sitting on the chair beside her bed, she was sitting immobile and her hand was tightly holding onto her brother's hand like her life depended on it.

Why wouldn't she be terrified? It was a traumatic experience and a miracle that she got away alive.

A nasal cannula helping her breath with it's prongs inside her nostrils. Her long beautiful hair was in a lose messy braid, she looked pale and weak. Her cheeks had lost their pink color and her lips were also pale. Her eyes looked sunken with dark circles.

The nurse with short black hair was inserting a needle in the back of her right hand but she didn't even flinch like she didn't feel anything.

Jack just so knew that it was him who did this to her. He was getting second thoughts on whether he should go in or not, but he wanted to greet her oh so bad. He put his hand on the doorknob and slowly opened the door before taking a deep breath, trying calming himself down.

Curious eyes turned to his direction as he stepped inside, except those beautiful eyes that he longed to see for the last three weeks. She still looked down on her lap with her hand tightly clasping Eugene's hand.

"May I?" He asked Dr Tadashi, motioning towards the file he was holding.

"Sure, I'll be more than honored to get 'the Dr Jack Frost's ' help. Here." Dr Tadashi smiled, handing him the file.

Jack was mostly called as 'The Dr Jack Frost' in the hospital because he was intelligent, smart, successful, famous, handsome, a good doctor and perfect. Some even called him 'The legendary Dr Jack Frost'. Funny, he didn't like the fame nor did he like those stupid names. Some even said that he has magic hands because of his numerous successful surgeries he performed.

"Did- did she speak about what happened?" Jack hesitated, stealing a glance at her. Dr Tadashi shook his head with his hands in his jeans' pockets.

"No, she has pharyngitis probably because of screaming or this injury on her neck. She can't talk." Dr Tadashi spoke pointing at the huge choking bruise on her neck.

Looking at the bruise on her neck, he literally felt his heart clenching and a sudden wave of anger. Anger at Simon O'Donnell, but mostly at himself for leaving her on that damned street.

Going through her file, his eyes fixed on those two word.

Pulmonary Embolism

"PE?" Jack asked, a frown on his face. His worried eyes fell on Elsa and then back on Dr Hamada.

"She has muscle tears in her left leg that damaged her blood vessels leading to clots. The clots travelled to the arteries in her lungs." Dr Hamada explained briefly, Jack bit his bottom lip, nodding his head.
