CHAPTER 29 You Can Donate My Blood To Her

Inside the presidential hospital room…

As the name implies, presidential. It was a luxurious hospital room and couldn't be compared to the hospital room Sophia and Cynthia were kept in earlier.

It was like a VIP bedroom. So enormous and expensive with the colour of a blue paint on the wall and blue colored curtains surrounding the three windows.

A very large television with its body in gold color was hung on the wall opposite a very large sized bed Sophia was laid on.

Two portable air conditioners were also fixed on the wall opposite each other while the enomous bed was in-between them.

A fancy luxurious and portable fan was beautifully arranged by the side of the room.

The sparkles that came from the tiled floor were glittering and were eye catching. It was an evidence that the cleaners were doing a great job.

It was already noon and as usual, Cynthia would always seat beside her friend hoping to see her get well.

Cynthia feared the most the moment she realized many days had already passed but her friend wasn't getting any better. At that moment, Cynthia was a morose. Her eyebrows were lowered and pulled a bit close together. The corners of their mouth were drawn downwards, showing how sad she was. Even though she knew crying wouldn't help, she still couldn't help it because those tears never stopped dropping. Her tears dropped slowly from her eyes down to her cheek and to the ground.

As she sat beside Sophia, she took her phone and was about to dial a number. She got confused if she should call her boss or not.

'calling him won't make any difference. My mind is already made up to receive a quit letter from him if he offers me any or probably punish me as usual. Well, which ever one it may be, I'm in for it." Cynthia spoke inwardly to herself as she took a deep sigh of relief.

Swiftly, she heard the hospital room telephone ring. The telephone was hung on the wall, beside the entrance door of the room. She continued to seat as she watched and heard the telephone ring multiple times. She kept wondering who the caller was and she knew the call was definitely for her and Sophia because each presidential hospital room had a telephone inside it.

She stood from her seated position and was about walking towards the ringing telephone. "Sister…" Cynthia heard a voice call her.

In curiosity, Cynthia turned back as she burst into a serious cry. It was tears of joy.

In excitement and surprise, "Sister?..." Cynthia called out and immediately ran to Sophia and when she got to her, she quickly gave her a very long and passionate hug and Sophia on the other hand didn't return the hug.

At this moment, Cynthia didn't bother about the ringing telephone. Whoever was calling should either stop calling or continue calling. That wasn't Cynthia's concern now.

Cynthia still hugging Sophia, she spoke in a weak tone which sounded like a whisper. Her voice was crooked due to how often she had cried.

"I have missed you, sister." Said Cynthia as she continued to hug Sophia, caressing her face so gently like an adult would caress the face of a little child.

She knew Sophia hadn't recovered fully but hearing Sophia call her sister after so many days of lying half dead gladdened her heart.

Meanwhile, as Cynthia continued to hug Sophia, she wasn't expecting her to say more words. She was still in her early stage of recovery any way.

"Thank you for coming back to me." Cynthia spoke in the most emotional tone as she held Sophia by the head and gave her a peck on her forehead.

"Welcome back sister." She said smiling as she wiped away her tears but it was funny that her tears were too stubborn to stop.

In that state of happiness, she ran out to call the doctor.

"I will be right back sister." Said Cynthia as she gave Sophia multiple kisses on the face which Sophia didn't react to it before she quickly ran out of the room.

Few minutes later, Cynthia returned with a smile on her face and with the doctor who walked along with her into the room.

Still smiling, "she called me…" Said Cynthia as she gazed up at the doctor, waiting to see his facial expression. It was supposed to be a goodnews but she wondered why he didn't give a hint of excitement.

"She called you? I don't understand." Said the door as Cynthia happily explained.

"Yes, Doctor she did. I mean before now, we always address ourselves as sisters… and today, I was about to pick up the ringing telephone when I heard her call me sister." Cynthia spoke in excitement as she jumped up and gave the doctor a quick hug.

"Thank you Doctor. For all your kindness towards my sister and I, I really appreciate it from the dept of my heart." She thanked him so sincerely.

"Can we go home now?" She stupidly asked.

"Go home? That's so sudden. Well, I'm glad she is recovering and I'm happy to see you happy too." He said.

"You made it possible. Thank you." She didn't get tired of appreciating him.

"You are welcome." He said, walking towards Sophia to see how she was doing. He got to her and looked at her palm but because he was a well equipped doctor, he was quick to dictate Sophia was lacking blood.

"She needs some blood." Said the doctor. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Sure! That's not a problem. We share the same genotype and blood group. I can donate some blood to her." She replied smiling as the doctor nodded.

"Ok then." He replied.

Cynthia was so happy! She felt like sharing her happiness with someone but couldn't see any. In her mind, her boss was never a person to share happy moments with. It was a waste telling him she would resume work soon because her friend was feeling better bit by bit. What is the point?

"Mtchew." She sighed and followed the doctor to his office to run a test of confirmation on her blood before donating it to Sophia.

Inside the doctor's office…

After the doctor had confirmed Cynthia's blood group and genotype,

Cynthia didn't get over her excited mood yet. She was still happy and smiling at the same time as she asked.

"Please Doctor, do you have an idea of the estimated date my sister would fully recover?"

"Soon… soon she will be okay." The Doctor replied as a little worry appeared on her face. The Doctor injected into her as he took out some of her blood which she didn't feel any pain. It was obvious she was already lost in thought.

"You can go now." Said the doctor and Cynthia blinked. That was the moment Cynthia snapped out of her dazed state and realized the doctor was already done collecting her blood.

"Hmmm? So soon?" She asked curiously and the doctor nodded.

"The nurse will be getting you both some food. Make sure you eat and have some rest as well." The doctor adviced.

"Thanks." She appreciated.

Shortly, Cynthia and the doctor walked out of his office as they walked back into the hospital room to infuse Cynthia's blood into Sophia.
