Panic

With a tempest of emotions raging within him, Calvin stormed back to Lizzie's hospital room, his heart pounding with anxiety and anger.

His mind is full with how to find a good doctor who will treat his sister. He was half regret his decision of not signing the divorce paper for his sister’s sake.

However, just as he burst into the room, his eyes widened in disbelief at the sight of another patient occupying the space where his sister should have been.

The shock sent a wave of panic coursing through him, and he frantically scanned the room, searching for any trace of Lizzie.

Where was his sister?!

Spotting a nurse hurrying past in the corridor, Calvin lunged forward, desperation evident in his voice as he called out to her.

"Wait! What happened to my sister? Where is she?" he demanded, his tone a mix of fear and frustration.

The nurse, preoccupied with her duties, turned to face Calvin with a look of mild irritation. "Mr. Hudson, I am sure you know what happened. . Your sister's room had to be vacated due to unpaid bills," she replied matter-of-factly, her voice lacking any hint of sympathy.

Calvin's fury ignited at the nurse's indifferent response. "Unpaid bills? But we were trying to arrange the payment! Where have you taken her?" he pressed, his hands trembling with agitation.

The nurse's expression remained unchanged as she interrupted and reiterated the hospital's policy. "I'm sorry, sir, but I don't have that information. You'll need to speak to the billing department," she replied curtly, already moving to attend to another task.

Feeling a surge of frustration and helplessness, Calvin's desperation turned to anger as he attempted to push past the nurse to search for his sister.

“Where is my sister? You cannot just throw her away!” he exclaimed.

However, before he could take another step, security personnel intervened.

“Sir, you should leave right now!” their stern voices demanding that he cease his disruptive behavior and leave the area immediately.

Defeated but undeterred, Calvin reluctantly allowed himself to be escorted away, his mind racing with worry about Lizzie's safety.

With each passing moment, his anxiety intensified, driving him to frantically search every nook and cranny of the hospital in a desperate attempt to locate her.

“Lizzie! Lizzie!” he called.

As he made his way towards the elevator, hoping to descend to the lower floors in search of his sister, Calvin's heart sank at the sight of the crowded carriage. Realizing he couldn't wait, he turned towards the emergency staircase, his steps quickening with a sense of urgency.

But in his haste, disaster struck.

With a sudden slip, Calvin lost his footing on the stairs, his hand instinctively reaching out to steady himself. However, the sharp edge of a step sliced through his skin, leaving a deep gash that began to bleed profusely. Grimacing in pain, Calvin gritted his teeth and pressed on, his determination to find Lizzie outweighing the physical agony he now endured.

“Dammit!”

As Calvin descended the stairs, each step echoed with the pounding of his heart, the rhythm of his fear. “Oh no! What fell from above?”

Reaching the ground floor, Calvin heard a voice yelling and was met with a scene of chaos.

The atrium was quickly filled with a throng of people, their voices a cacophony of concern and alarm.

“What happened?”

He heard a few people asking but no one answered due to the chaos.

“She suddenly fell!” someone said.

Desperation clawed at Calvin's chest as he pushed through the crowd, his eyes frantically searching for answers amidst the turmoil.

"What's going on?" he exclaimed, his voice quivering with fear as he pleaded for information.

A bystander turned towards him, their face etched with worry. "Someone fell from the second floor," they replied, their words landing heavily in Calvin's mind like a lead weight.

Dread settled over Calvin like a suffocating blanket as he approached the balcony railing, his gaze fixed on the scene below. With a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, he spotted a figure lying motionless on the pavement, the sight sending a shiver down his spine.

Driven by a primal instinct, Calvin bolted out into the courtyard, his mind a whirlwind of panic and disbelief. The air was thick with the sounds of frantic shouting and pleading, the crowd's collective fear palpable as they gathered around the fallen figure.

Heart pounding in his chest, Calvin fought his way through the throng, his eyes never leaving the form lying prone on the ground.

With each step, his dread mounted, his thoughts consumed by a desperate prayer for his sister's safety, a plea that echoed in the depths of his soul.
