Double Edged Sword
Sydney was already walking back towards the university when her cell rang.
"Hello."
"Syd it's Karen you have got to come down to the hospital. I'
don't know what happen he just suddenly collapsed and –,"
"Woh, slow down, who's in the hospital?" Sydney stopped, her heart beating faster.
"NIGEL!"
Sydney's heart stopped.
"Sydney?" Karen said.
"I'll be right over."
Sydney ran down the corridor as she headed towards the room that had Nigel. She saw Karen waiting.
"What happened?"
"I' don't know. He was complaining about a headache and then he suddenly collapsed," Karen answered sounding shaken.
"When?"
"Not long after you left."
"How is-," Sydney didn't bother continuing as the doctor came
out of the room. "Doctor how is he?"
"As for now we don't know what's going on? We'll run some
tests and we'll know. But in the meantime he's stable," the doctor answered.
"What's wrong with him?" Karen asked this time.
"He seems to be suffering internal bleeding and blood clots are starting to form in his brain."
Sydney heard Karen gasped. "But-,"
"We don't know much now but give us some time. His fine for now," the doctor answered, as he knew what Sydney wanted to ask.
"Thanks."
Sydney walked into Nigel's room and saw him lying on the bed, asleep. She sat down next to him and held his hand as she prayed.
