"Are you feeling any better, Miss?"
Hattiea next heard the nurse asking her with a confused yet uneasy tone making her shake her head at those words nonchalantly.

The nurse seemingly again eyed her detached wrist nervously, which Hattiea was still seemingly rubbing in pain.

"Where am I?"
Hattiea questioned directly to the nurse after a moment instead of replying her back.

Her throat seemed to be dried out as she gulped a hard lump down.

Her head still felt a little dizzy for unknown reasons yet she managed to get her senses together and face the nurse in front of her with seriousness.

"And what happened to me?"
With her raspy voice she questioned the nurse back again while watching her curiously.

The nurse's face seemed to lose colours immediately right then.

It was as if she was nervous and horrified to answer that question? But why? The reaction of the nurse confused Hattiea a bit.

"Um... You fainted due to low blood pressure, Miss!"
Somehow the nurse managed to let out professionally while Hattiea nodded again in realisation.

Now that she wonder... she did not have any meal since last night, it was due to the heavy work schedule that busied her all the time.

Knowing Hattiea, she does not even care about her health when work bothers her.

And that explains why, she was feeling weak since the morning.

Hattiea groaned while pinching her temples to ease the pain.
"May I ask who brought me here?
"
While uttering another question in a curious manner again for which the nurse was definitely not prepared for, Hattiea seemed to wonder how she ended up in the hospital?

What happened after she passed out was still a huge mystery for her? She doesn't remember a single thing after she blacked out.

And something about all seemed not so right to her as well.

Hattiea saw the nurse awkwardly adjusting herself a bit in her previous position after hearing her asking that question.

The nurse was behaving strange since the second she entered inside the ward and Hattiea being a sharp woman herself, took no time to understand that she was trying to hide something from her.

But what?

The nurse next cleared her throat as if she was finding words to reply Hattiea's previous ask.
But at the end it was not the answer that sounded reasonable to Hattiea.

"Miss, you should rest. You are still weak!"
The nurse suggested dodging Hattiea's question like she did not even hear her properly, that only resulted in raising more points of suspicion to Hattiea's belief.

What was wrong with the nurse's body language?' Hattiea thought to herself watching the panicked nurse with a judgemental look so some seconds.

"No I think I am fine. Just let me make a call and deal with the bills, then I will get going home..."
Hattiea uttered soon after being straightforward, while sensing the weird reactions of the nurse.

At this point she felt like leaving the hospital as soon as possible.

Everything about the same moment felt so suspicious to Hattiea that she could not help but to feel uncomfortable in the ward, each second.

Feeling just not right about everything, Hattiea was about to get up from the bed with a little struggle when suddenly the nurse stopped her actions.

The nurse held Hattiea's shoulders to prevent her from standing up while in fact, trying to push her back on the bed bit forcefully this time, she surprised Hattiea with her sudden attack.

Hattiea watched the nurse with her wide opened eyes as if she was not expecting that push coming from the nurse.

She was obviously too dumbstruck at the moment as the nurse acted rather urgent with her.

Hattiea felt offended in a way.

"You cannot leave Miss, the doctor said you need another bottle of glucose!"
Hattiea was shocked by the constantly diverting actions of the nurse but this time her words to make her stay seemed way too unrealistic.

Orders? Was her conditions that serious? Low blood pressure is not one huge deal to worry about then why the nurse was behaving so fishy with Hattiea?

The nurse was not even answering Hattiea's questions properly and she too was not buying any of her words at the moment either, she was just acting too weird to be trusted.

The nurse seemed so determined to make Hattiea stay at any cost. Hence after sensing the discomfort of the nurse,

Hattiea obviously was not any idiot to entrust the nurse's words...

"Fine-Fine but can I at least use washroom?"
Hattiea managed to let out out of nowhere looking at the nurse, she just wanted to escape the situation and not finding any other way round...
that was all Hattiea came up with at the moment of heat.

The nurse stopped for a moment or so thinking hard about Hattiea's request for a longer minute but soon she nodded her head hesitantly.

Hattiea let a small yet calming breath out feeling sort of relieved.

She slowly managed to stand up on her feet from the bed with the help of the nurse, as then Hattiea approached the washroom in order to escape the ward as well as possible.

LATER

The entire hospital of Lawrence's sounded dead scary by this time.

Only the pair of rich and strong footsteps of Jordan Lawrence was heard in desperate dare, he was walking really fast passing each hallways leading towards the ward where he left the unknown woman earlier.

As soon as he received the news of her being the donor, he could not keep himself calm no more.

His chest movements were uneven showcasing his level of happiness.

He remember blaming himself just few hours ago being the most unfortunate and helpless son for not even helping his mother in any way out but now everything just changed in a matter of hours?

Finally, the doctors managed to find out a perfect match for his mother.

That unexpectedly was the same woman whom he brought to the hospital.

It was so unpredictable as Jordan never even imagined that the woman with whom he crossed his paths in such manner was going to be the donor of his half dead mother...

Guess god arranged their meet that way, Jordan just could not contain his happiness anymore, he felt overwhelmed.

At first sure he could not believe his ears when he got a call from his friend about the same.

His mother was going to be cured finally, she will be back to life again... even the thought of it made Jordan's emotions back to alive.

His mother was everything he has got.

She was possibly the only family he had after his father left him all alone to die.

Speaking of that man, Jordan hated even the sight of him till this day.

His mother bore a lot alone in order to raise him meanwhile his father left both of them without even caring one bit, how they both are going to survive without him...

It seemed like he never even cared about him. Jordan saw the cruelty of the world way earlier than he should have.

That is the most saddest part of his life, even after having a father he never felt like having one.

And maybe that was the only reason why he had turned all attachments towards his mother? Hence, he cannot let her die at any cost and leave his side.

Obviously not.

Because she was his only family.

Soon Jordan's pace slowed down once he reached the same hallway where he took the woman earlier but when his dark brown pair of eyes captured Sebastian's standing tensed figure outside the ward... facing one of the nurses angrily while gritting his teeth, something felt not too right.

Jordan suddenly felt an unknown worry clouding his happiness the immediate minute.

The sight was heavily threatening to witness.

"YOU COULD NOT EVEN DO A SMALL JOB PROPERLY? WAS IT THAT HARD TO KEEP HER IN WATCH?"
Sebastian shouted at the nurse in utter frustration.

The nurse flinched at the harshness of his tone while crying louder the same minute, she was not ready to lose her job for her only mistake.

She feared to get fired. Her head hung low unable to match her eyes with Sebastian's threatening pair of dark orbs.

She was scared of him, Sebastian was never seen so angry like this before. This caused Jordan to believe that something was just not so right about the situation here.

What was wrong?

The nurse started shivering at this point unaware about the real terror standing just behind of Sebastian, having his all ears on his friend's entire conversation...

Jordan's eyes witnessed the scene in front of him with no word, he seemed blankly calm which was suspicious.

Maybe he was not ready to react just yet. He was being patient for now. 

The deep frown Sebastian had over his features did not go unnoticed by Jordan. His momentary tensed mood and anger caused his tall built to shiver out of wrath.

While Sebastian's face turned red in order to control his outburst.

He seemed to be seriously troubled by something otherwise losing his temperament on a woman like that was not included in his morals.

After being done judging the scene for a minute or two, Jordan's cold eyes wore immediate darkness as he continued walking ahead with his dark and strong steps.

His boots slapped the rich floor of his hospital's silent hallway with intimidation while immediately gaining the attentions of the two people with absolutely no efforts, he walked alerting everyone.

Tension rose more... They all tensed up.

Sebastian's eyes caught the muscular built of his friend behind him approaching his way as his eyes then became certainly blank, but not as blank as his eyes were.

Sebastian calmed down from his outburst as soon he felt nervousness clouding his aura the moment he saw Jordan.

Jordan looked dangerously calm which was not a good sign, his dark aura filled the air around him as the nurse started sobbing louder than ever at this point.

If Jordan came to know about the matter than he would definitely fire her.

"What's going on?"
Jordan questioned in demand looking right at Sebastian's blank pair of eyes to find the answer regarding such a disturbed situation.

His dominance over the matter was clearly reflected through his tone, Sebastian's aura which by now had a hint of guilt and uncertainty... started showing signs of failure too.

Jordan clenched his fists tightly, he was obviously not ready for any bad news now.

As after months of being so distressed he finally managed to find a matched donor for his mother...

He cannot lose any hopes now.

After a moment of dangerous and deadly silence Sebastian finally gathered up his courage and got his thoughts back together before speaking making Jordan tighten his jaw.

His eyes shoot fire the same minute and everyone around him became intimidated by the look he had over his face.
"The donor...
she ran away Jordan!"
