A video of Piper, lying on the bed with tubes and Injections fixed on her was displayed on the TV. Madam Caroline froze when she saw her daughter in such a horrible state. After a while, she relaxed and commanded:
“Hurry up, my daughter needs me,” with that, the ladies continued with her nails.
Madam Caroline believed that the people were making a mountain out of a molehill.
‘Is it not the entertainment industry? They are using everything including Piper’s health as a means to gather sympathy to promote their movies and make more money! she thought and snorted.
Yesterday, she called Feng Long and he assured her that Piper was fine, so what’s the fuss about?
Meanwhile, Jeslyn was in her company car, sleeping when she suddenly jolted awake with a teardrop trailing down her right cheek.
Her heartbeat was thumping faster than necessary. She sniffed and wiped her tears.
What was going on?
Yesterday she saw Brian getting his heart pierced by a knife taken from an idol.
Now, she dreamt that Brian is struggling to remain alive as the doctors are finding it difficult to keep
him.
Why is her heart arching like she was the one in Brian’s place? Why? 1
“Turn around, take me to the hospital,” she instructed the driver.
“Miss, are you unwell?” her Assistant, a young lady with a small stature, asked.
“I’m fine,” Jeslyn replied and never said anything anymore.
Getting to Maverick’s hospital, Jeslyn approached the counter and asked the nurses there;
“Hi, please what room is Brian at… superstar Brian.”
The nurse smiled shyly, “Miss Jeslyn, I- I’m your fan.”
“Thank you,” Jeslyn smiled with her lips scaled. Her eyes were roaming everywhere looking for Brian. “Who are you to him, Ma’am?” another nurse pushed the mesmerized fan nurse away and took her place.
“He-“Jeslyn paused. That’s right, who is he to her? “My senior… I saw the news that he’s here. I was close by, so I came to see him.”
The nurse nodded. “Let me see,” she started to search Brian’s information on the computer before she saw that he had been scheduled for surgery.
“I’m sorry, ma’am. Superstar Brian is in the operating theater,” the nurse replied.
“What is he doing there?” Jeslyn frowned.
“He had a gunshot wound that wasn’t treated. Although it was only a bullet grazing his abdomen, it needed
proper care which it lacked. The wound is infected which caused built–in pus that required surgery to be taken care of.” Although Brian’s condition wasn’t stated clearly in the information visible to her, but from her experience and knowledge, she was sure of what the problem was.
Seeing the worry on Jeslyn’s face, she continued. “Don’t worry, if the surgery goes well, your senior will be fine,”
“Thank you,” Jeslyn nodded in appreciation. Just as she was about to leave, the fan nurse stretched out her book and pen. “Miss Jeslyn… your autograph, please,” she blushed.
Jeslyn took the pen and signed her autograph on the paper before smiling at the nurse and walking
away.
She didn’t want to leave. She was desperate to see Brian.
While she was pacing back and forth, deliberating on what to do, Brian’s manager and Assistants rushed into the hospital, looking extremely worried and scared.
They rushed to the counter and after getting their response from the nurses there, they ran towards. the operating theater.
Jeslyn followed them. Just when they got there, two nurses hurried out of the theater.
Brian’s assistants and Manager tried getting information from them but the two nurses were in haste.
Some moments later, they ran back into the theater.
In no time, a doctor came out and removed his mask. “Who is Brian’s relative?” he asked.
“We are,” the Manager got up from the bench and hurried to the doctor. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“Brian lost a lot of blood due to the operation. It seemed that he already had a shortage of blood for a while now. We got two pints of ‘O negative‘ blood but that won’t be enough. We need three in case - something unexpected happens.”
The Manager stays silent for a while. None of them has the same blood type as Brian.
“Give him those two first while we look for blood,” the Manager finally said.
The doctor nodded, “that can be done.” He said before going back in.
Jeslyn’s blood was also ‘O negative‘ but she can’t donate it because of her condition. Also, she’s scared
that the doctors might find out about her problem.
She returned home with Brian’s thoughts eating her mind.
At the presidential Villa…
The First Lady, a pretty young lady in her middle twenties was sitting with legs crossed in the sitting room, drinking juice and reading a fashion magazine when a maid hurried in and handed her a phone. “Ma’am, a call for you,” the maid said respectfully.
The pretty Young Lady put down the magazine and took the phone.
“Hello,”
“You’re having a perfect life, it seems. A cold female voice drifted from the other end.
“Sister!” the First Lady was startled and immediately bolted from her seat. She looked at the maid who looked shocked and waved her away.
“You have been ignoring my calls. Is being the First Lady that interesting?” 3
“N–no, sister… I’m sorry, I was

“Save the explanation. I know you mustn’t have seen the news. My son… nothing should happen to him.”
“Brian? What happened to Brian?” the First Lady panicked. If anything dares happen to Brian, she’d be dead.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The call ended just like that, without getting any answer.
