Emma's Accident

NOTE: Jeff's POV

Immediately Emma left, I ate some snacks and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was half past one. Why hadn't Emma returned? I was beginning to get worried. I dialed her phone number but she didn't respond. Maybe she was busy! I was still lost in thoughts when my phone rang. It was Emma calling. I picked the call but received the most shocking news of my life. Emma had been involved in an accident and she was in the hospital, in a coma. I asked the hospital name and I drove there in a hurry.

I saw Dr Angelica and began asking questions "How did this happen?" "Where is my sister?" "Will she be alright?". Dr Angelica sighed and said "She was involved in a car accident. Actually, it was not an accident. It was planned." "What do you mean?", I asked looking confused. She patted my back and replied "The police will be here soon to give you details about her accident. Meanwhile, her condition is not getting any better. She has lost a lot of blood and our blood bank is empty as at now. Tell me something. What blood group do you have?".

"O", I said and repeated "My blood group is O." "Thank goodness. Follow me. You have to donate blood please.", she said and grabbed my hand. After my blood had been donated to her, Dr Angelica said her condition should get better any soon and she would wake up any moment now. I felt drowsy because of the donation and decided to rest by Emma's bedside. While doing so, the police arrived. I walked out of her ward and went to meet them. "Mr Jeff, we have caught the person responsible for Miss Marina's accident. A truck driver was hired to kill her.", the inspector began. He continued "He had her followed and at the right time crashed into her car. The man who already planned to escape was given a chase by passers by who after catching him called us. We took the man into our custody and after a lot of torture, he confessed." "What did he say?", I asked nervously.

"He said that he was paid by Mr Todd, a millionaire to kill Miss Marina.", the inspector told me. "But why would he want to harm my sister? What has she done wrong?", I asked. "Exactly. The man told us that Mr Todd did this to avenge his brother's imprisonment. He further explained that Miss Marina while in California had had Todd's brother arrested for theft and had also presented solid evidence. His brother's name is erm... Yes.. Walker. We are on the search for Todd although I think he has run away. Not to worry, he can't hide from the police.", the inspector concluded and I thanked him profusely.

Walker's brother had done this to my sister. How dare he? I went back to Emma's bedside and was shocked to see her hand move. I called Dr Angelica and she came immediately. She began examining Emma and miraculously, Emma woke up. I cried and hugged her. I quickly went to buy food and when I came back, Emma held my hand and said "Thank you for donating blood to me. Dr Angelica told me about it. Thank you for always being there for me." I smiled and explained how she had landed in the hospital and who was behind it.

I promised her that the police were doing their very best to catch Todd and she smiled. She was discharged a week later. Meanwhile, Mr and Mrs Daisy had returned a day after her accident and hadn't seen anyone at home. They had been worried and had phoned the police who told them everything. I took Emma to her house and Mr and Mrs Daisy said I could stay for a few days. It was all so much fun staying with Emma until Ian called and said there was urgent business which meant I had to return to California. I was so heartbroken but I had to take care of my business...
