"Yes, please, " Carla said, nodding immediately.
Naya went in without further ado.
Although Naya might not be the best doctor out there, she was the most suitable candidate. She was familiar with Venus's condition.
She was a timely help.
"Do you guys mind leaving us alone?"
Dr. Feroma sent out everyone else other than the medical staff.
Although Carla was distressed over Venus's condition, she went out just as Dr. Feroma requested.
"Ms. Lierger, " Rogan came over not long after they got out, "Diane is in the ICU. She's in a critical condition."
"Save her at all costs. I want the best doctors to attend to her, " Carla said readily, "I want to see the medical superintendent."
"The superintendent is already there. Dr. Goman brought a few other doctors with her. I heard they are pretty good too."
"Ask them to go over."
"Right away."
Both Venus and Diane were in the emergency rooms.
The wait was unnerving for Carla. "Ms. Lierger, Mr. Giblo and his men are waiting outside the hospital. Should we let them in? Mr. Lierger's men are keeping them out at the moment."
"Let them in."
Although Carla was still angry with Zayn, she did not want their fallout to affect their child.
"Sure."
Within a couple of minutes, Zayn dashed in with his men. "How's Venus?"
"They're trying to save her, " Carla said solemnly, "Dr. Feroma and Naya are inside. They will take care of it. You can go back first."
"How can I leave when Venus's condition is still unstable?" Zayn questioned, "I should at least know she's fine first."
"Whatever."
Zayn ordered his men to prepare a few rooms in the hospital and told Carla, "You should go get a change. I bet you don't want Venus to see you full of blood when she wakes up."
It was not until then that Carla realized she was soaked in rain water and blood.
The nurses had been avoiding her out of fear ever since she got into the hospital.
She looked like a disheveled serial killer on the loose.
"Freda, keep watch over here."
"Sure, " the bodyguard said.
With that said, Carla took two men with her and left.
Meanwhile, Zayn had been waiting outside in agony all this while. It broke his heart to imagine the pain Venus went through.
Carla was shocked when she looked at herself in the mirror in the washroom.
She almost could not recognize herself.
She looked away to avoid looking at herself.
She took off her clothes and took a shower to wash away the bloodstain on her body.
What Zayn said was right. She had to clean herself before going to see Venus.
Zayn was still outside the emergency room when his phone ring. "Randy?"
"How are you, Daddy? How are Mommy and Venus?"
Randy had been anticipating updates from them for a long time, but he could no longer hold it in anymore, so he decided to call.
"Mommy is fine, " Zayn said comfortingly, "Venus is sick, so she needs to be at the hospital."
"So y'all saved Venus?"
Randy was quick to catch on.
"Yes. We saved her, but Dr. Feroma is still treating her. She'll be okay soon."
"Where are y'all now? Josh and I want to go over."
"Mr. Thompson can send us over!" Josh's anxious voice came from further away.
"Listen, Randy and Josh, " Zayn said, trying to sound calm, "We're in another country now. We will go back with Venus when everything's settled. Don't worry, okay?"
"But, Daddy…"
"Mommy's here. Do y'all want to talk to her?"
Zayn tried changing the topic.
"Okay."
