"Vanessa?" Evelyn called out in desperation, but Vanessa wouldn't listen to her.

Finally, she gave in and let the nurses help her sit in a wheelchair.

"To the recovery room, " Vanessa directed, and they took her to the place only that there was no one there.

"Did I see it wrong? I'm sure that it's here," Vanessa thought in doubt.

"So what did you come here to see Vanessa? An empty recovery room? You want to be in there?" Evelyn asked.

"I feel a sort of connection. It's like... that person is dear to me and needs me," Vanessa said helplessly.

"That must be your imagination. What sort of tosh is that? You believe in superstitions too? Vanessa!" Evelyn couldn't understand her friend anymore. What was happening to her?

"I'm not lying. I had a terrible dream of someone dying. He needed my help. I've got to find him, " Vanessa defended but Evelyn shook her head.

"Nurse, take her back to the room. She needs to rest" Evelyn said, and the nurse turned the wheelchair around.

"No, I've got to find him, " Vanessa cried and tried to get off the wheelchair, even though she knew she couldn't walk.

"Vanessa? Stop this. You need to rest and we also need to settle our misunderstandings."said Evelyn as the nurse pushed the wheelchair forward.

"Evelyn, you are my friend and you know me so well.Please let me find that person. He's in this hospital" Vanessa cried again but Evelyn wouldn't hear a word of it and let the nurse push the wheelchair back the way they came from.

When they were about to make a turn, a redhead lady dressed in a black suit and silver heels ran past.

"Nurse, Evelyn, let's follow that lady that just ran past us, "Vanessa said with urgency in her voice.

"What's wrong with you, buddy? You couldn't find the imaginary person you desired to see and now want to go after a random lady? Gosh!" Evelyn facepalmed.

"Nurse, don't listen to my friend. Take her back to the room," Evelyn commanded.

"Yes, miss, "the nurse said, and continued pushing the wheelchair forward.

When they were almost close to the VIP room they had come out from earlier, Vanessa suddenly felt a pain in her chest.

Evelyn noticed and asked with concern.

"Are you okay?"

"I... take me back. Follow that lady now or I will go after her" Vanessa threatened.

"Nurse, push her in" Evelyn commanded. She was getting fed up with Vanessa's nonsense.

"Evelyn... I'm not lying. Someone is dying and I want to save him," Vanessa said again this time in a pleading tone.

"Sorry my friend, I can't listen to your rubbish," Evelyn said as the nurse pushed her inside the room. Vanessa clutched her chest and with gritted teeth spoke.

"Evelyn, you must take me there now or I will get up,"

Evelyn shook her head and sighed.


At another VIP room

Little Lisa is currently fighting for her life with the doctors and nurses trying to resuscitate her. The BP monitor has been giving alarms and the doctors dare not slack off because if this girl dies, then this hospital would be closed down.

At a corner of the room, is Lisa's father who is currently listening to opera music sung by Dimash Kudaibergen on headphones.

He's lying on a couch with eyes closed even humming along with the song. If one sees him, one would not believe that his daughter is at the brink of death.

Some nurses who stole a glance at him viewed him as the most heartless father ever seen on Earth. This girl was his offspring, but he doesn't even care about her one bit. They pitied the poor girl and wondered where the mother is.

"Evelyn..."

"You must rest or I'll ask the nurse to force you to sleep," Evelyn threatened.

"Just this once, Evelyn. I'm really not lying. Someone important to me is dying and needs my help" Vanessa said again close to tears.

"Nurse?"

The nurse injected a sleeping drug into her arm and Vanessa fell asleep immediately bringing about a sigh from Evelyn who facepalmed.

"I only tried to play a joke on her and then mend our friendship but what's this? I don't know what to do." Evelyn muttered to herself.

"Do not worry! She'll be fine" the nurse consoled.

"Yeah! She will."Evelyn nodded.


At Lisa's room, things were turning bad.

Her BP had been 89% and they brought it down to 39 who knew that it would immediately deteriorate to 22%.

, and

Some nurses cried. It wasn't because they'd lose their jobs but because this poor sweet Lisa was going to die. She hadn't even enjoyed life yet.

"Lisa's father removed the headphones.

"Is she stiff yet?" he asked with a deadpan face shocking the medical staff in the room.

His baby girl was fighting for her life, and he is praying for her death? Exactly how heartless is he?

The doctors didn't know how to reply and her father shook his head.

"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Best doctors? Really? I feel that you guys are the best clowns. She won't survive anyway." he walked to Lisa whose lips were becoming pale.

"She's already dead. Now I won't have to deal with her annoying disturbances. I won't close this hospital," he then pulled off the oxygen mask from Lisa's face.

"I will leave her here. Do what you wanna do with her. I will give you guys 500 million each to keep mum about this issue. It's best if one of you take her home for burial.As of today, she's not my daughter. Dead people aren't my relatives but only LIVING PEOPLE," Lisa's father said with a smile that sent shivers down the medical staff's spines.

"Alright! We're done here" Lisa's father then walked out of the Vip room wearing headphones and this time listening to rap music even humming along. All the staff looked at each other and back at the little Lisa.

"Did he just disown his only child? He's too heartless!" a doctor said.

Majority of them left Lisa to the head doctor who was a female. She sighed and shook her head before leaving the room. Lisa's father had forbidden them from helping her so they could only pray.


Back at the VIP ward, Vanessa woke up and screamed attracting the nurse's and Vanessa's attention.

"What is it?" Evelyn asked in concern.

It shocked her and the nurse that the medicine did not affect Vanessa for long.

"You must take me there. She's dying," Vanessa cried.

"Now the person has turned to a female?" Evelyn sighed.

"I'm very sure of this" Vanessa defended. Her eyes held anxiety in them.

"You... just rest. It must be a nightmare" Evelyn tried to console Vanessa but she wouldn't take it.

"Miss.. please rest and free your mind. This worry isn't good for you," the nurse said but Vanessa shook her head.

"Forget it!" Vanessa threw down the blanket and put her legs down.

"What are you doing?" Evelyn and the nurse cried out in alarm.

"Nothing can stop me this time," Vanessa said and stood up.

"Vanessa sit down. You can't walk" Evelyn cried out again in fear.

"We'll see," Vanessa said and began running out of the room stunning Evelyn and the nurse.
