Hi everyone. Sorry about the delay in updating, I've just got a new laptop/tablet thing and I'm still getting to grips with it and transferring things over. How amazing was Saturday's Casualty? Really feeling for Ethan! Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter and remember to leave me a review…they mean a lot!
Chapter 10:
Ethan felt like time had stopped as he stared at the scene in front of him. He couldn't believe it was happening. He had to do something. He couldn't just stand there helplessly as his brother died.
Charging forward Ethan stood by Rita's side and got his hands into the position needed to do chest compressions. He could feel Rita glancing at him out the corner of her eye wondering what he was going to do.
"Pulse check please" Connie ordered as Rita came to the end of the cycle of chest compressions but there was nothing. Just as Rita was about to resume the compressions Ethan jumped in her way blocking her from Cal's chest.
"Dr Hardy, what do you think you are doing? You know the rules." Connie said sternly as she stepped towards the young doctor.
"He's my brother." Ethan said in between compressions through gritted teeth. He was putting all the energy he had into saving his brother.
"I know but you need to step down." Connie said as she placed her hand on Ethan's shoulder but it was doing anything, Ethan continued with the chest compressions until it the cycle ended and another pulse check was carried out. Still nothing.
"Come on Cal. Don't you dare do this to me!" Ethan shouted to his brother as he pumped hard on his chest. He didn't know what he would do if this was the end. He needed his brother regardless of how much he moaned about him. He was all he had.
As Ethan stopped for another pulse check a faint beep filled the room. A pulse. Ethan felt his legs go weak beneath him and grabbed onto the railing on the bed to support himself. He had been so close to losing him. He knew Cal wasn't out of the woods yet but he had his brother back for now at least.
