Chapter 523
"This is Rose Sparks, 12 years old, GSC is 5. BP is low.."
Ruby had turned a shade that Iain had never seen before and she seemed rooted to the spot. "Ruby, are you alright?" He asked.
"Iain. " she whispered.
"What?" He asked, Ruby had turned quiet again. "Come on, Rubes, you know you can tell me anything. "
"She's my sister, " she whispered.
Iain was shocked, he had thought she was an only child. "She'll be alright" he told her. "If she's anything like you."
"Ethan, how is she?" Ruby asked, Ethan was the doctor treating Rose.
"I'm sorry Ruby, " Ethan replied. "But you know I can only give information out to family members. "
"Rose is Ruby's sister, Ethan" Iain said, but he and Ruby both heard gasps from the likes of Robyn, Jess, Zoe.
Iain, who had an arm around Ruby's shoulder, led her in to RESUS. Rose was lying on the bed.
The doors opened again and Ethan walked in.
Rose was a mini version of Ruby with blonde hair and brown eyes.
"What happened, Ethan?" Iain asked as Ruby was focoused on her younger sister.
"It seems Rose has taken a beaten. A neighbour found her. " Ethan explained.
"Dad" Ruby said bitterly.
Iain turned to her as she explained some more. "Dad was an alicholic. He used to beat me but when I left for uni, it seems he turned on Rose. I should have stayed to protect her. "
Iain hated seeing Ruby beat herself up like this. "Ruby, this isn't your fault."
"It is, Iain"
Ethan interrupted them. "We'll be taking her up to threatre soon, "
Threatre? For once the word scared Ruby.
"Why?" she asked.
"She's suffered a bleed on the brain, Ruby" Ethan told her.
Ruby bit back a cry.
But it seems Ethan wasn't done. "As you are Rose's next of kin, I'll need you to sign consent forms for the operation to go ahead. "
Ruby read the risks before signing the forms.
As brain surgery was a complex procedure, all Ruby could do was wait, for now she was a patient's sister, not a paramedic.
After hours of waiting and endless cups of coffee, the door finally opened, and Ethan walked in to the relative room where Iain had taken Ruby, her head was resting against his chest.
"The operation was a success. She's in recovery."
Ruby smiled even though her eyes filled with tears. "Thank you, Ethan. "
"Just doing my job, Ruby" Ethan replied as he left the relative's room.
"Shall we go and see her?" Iain asked.
"Yes" Ruby nodded and the two headed to Intensive Care.
Machine were beeping as Iain opened the door, but Ruby's eyes soon fell on the young girl in the bed, a ventilator was breathing for her, a bandage around her head, needles in her arms.
The door once again opened and assuming it to be Ethan, Iain looked up, but it wasn't Ethan.
"Who are you?" Iain asked.
"I'm Richard." The man introduced himself.
"Our father. " Ruby replied.
"Ruby, I'm sorry" Richard said.
"Look at her, " Ruby pointed to her younger sisters still form. "You did this, "
Richard nodded. "I'm sorry, "
"It's not good enough, mate" Iain said, he hated parents who abused their kids. "She's a young kid. "
"Iain, don't, he's not worth it. " said Ruby, she wanted it to be peaceful when Rose woke up, not for her to hear fighting.
"Leave now or I'll call security. " Iain said.
"She's my daughter. "
"You lost that right, when you hit her. " Ruby said, quietly.
Richard walked out accompained by security guards who seized him behind the arms and dragged him out.
Ruby just cried in to Iain's chest as machines beeped loudly...
Ethan, Jess and Charlie all rushed in, Jess ushering Ruby out as she started CPR on the young girl.
Thank you for reading. Rose is an OC I created, as well as Richard. I just wanted names beginning with "R" to match Ruby's. Sorry, for the Jess mentions, I miss her, she was/ is my favourite character and I'm currently watching clips of her.
