Kevin, Myolie, Bernice and Moses watched Jessica still unconscious as she lay on the hospital bed.
“What happened?” Moses asked concerned.
Kevin shook his head, “I don’t know. One minute she was fine and the next she started shaking.”
“It was like she was having a fit or something,” Myolie added, “What’s going on today? Why is everything so weird today?”
“How’s Raymond?” Kevin asked, “Did you call Frankie?”
“Can’t get through to him,” Moses had tried calling Frankie but he just couldn’t get through, “I’ll call again.”
“I’ll go buy some things for everyone to eat,” Bernice said. She and Moses left the room and headed to the canteen.
Raymond, Ron and Tavia waited outside the hospital room. Raymond sat with his head between his arms, thoughts were running through his head having not the slightest idea of how Charmaine was.
“Don’t worry, she’ll be fine,” Ron comforted Raymond.
“Yeh,” Tavia sat down beside Raymond, “She’ll be fine.”
Raymond sat upright, “I’m going to go for a walk,” and got up and walked towards the stairs.
Raymond walked downstairs and walked into the emergency room. He really didn’t know what to do but to wait. An ambulance arrived in front of the hospital; the paramedics pulled the stretcher out of the ambulance and rushed into the hospital.
“What’s the case?” A doctor asked helping the paramedics pull the stretcher in the hospital.
“Female woman, injured in several areas with the most severe wound on her head,” the paramedic reported.
“Take her to room two.”
Raymond stopped walking and let the doctor through; he turned around to walk back to the room but paused. From the corner of his eye he saw Charmaine lying on the stretcher wearing an oxygen mask.
Her face had been bruised and blood rushed out from her forehead. Raymond quickly followed the doctors, “Charmaine…”
He wanted to follow them in but was stopped by a nurse. Raymond waited outside the emergency room impatiently, he kept pacing the worried about Charmaine.
The doctor tapped Charmaine on the face, “Can you hear me ma’am?”
Charmaine didn’t have any reaction beside for the slight flickering of her eye. “Her pulse is dropping,” a nurse reported to the doctor.
“Give her a boost of adrenaline,” the doctor ordered.
The nurse gave Charmaine the adrenaline needle but her pulse kept on dropping. The pulse line had suddenly dropped to zero, “No pulse,” the nurse reported.
The doctor checked the monitor, “Paddle…”
*Hospital Jessica’s room, 11:20pm*
Kevin and Myolie stayed in Jessica’s room waiting for her to wake up, “What’s that noise?” Myolie asked.
Kevin looked up at Jessica’s monitor and saw Jessica having no pulse; he jumped up hitting the emergency button. A few seconds later the doctor and nurses ran into the room. The doctor checked the monitor and Jessica’s pulse, “Paddles…”
The nurse pushed Kevin and Myolie out of the room where Ron and Tavia were waiting.
*Hospital Emergency Room, 11:21pm*
Raymond kept pacing in front of the emergency room, “Please don’t let anything happen to you…”
The doctors rubbed the paddles together, “Charge to 250. Clear,” the doctor placed the paddles on Charmaine shocking her but there was no reaction, “Charge to 300, Clear,” he shocked her again but there was still no reaction, “Charge to 300, Clear,” he shocked her for the last time.
Charmaine let out a gasp of air and slowly her pulse started rising again.
*Hospital Jessica’s Room, 11:22pm*
“Charge to 250, Clear,” the doctor grabbed the paddles and shocked Jessica. Just as Charmaine regained her pulse, Jessica’s pulse had suddenly picked up and started rising back to her normal heartbeat.
The doctors opened the door, Kevin and Myolie jumped up, “How is she?”
“She’s doing fine for now but we have to keep a close eye on her,” the doctor informed them.
“Thankyou doctor,” Kevin and Myolie said as they rushed into her room.
Ron and Tavia followed in after them. All four of them sat beside Jessica’s bed waiting for her to wake up.
Raymond was in Charmaine’s room, he sat next to her and waited for her to wake up, he held onto her hand knowing if it wasn’t because of his rivalry with Steven she wouldn’t have gotten into this trouble. He sat by her bed the whole night waiting, not once did he leave her side and kept holding tightly on her hand.
The morning came; Raymond hadn’t slept the whole night and kept a close eye on Charmaine. Although he was tired he just couldn’t leave her in such a critical state. Raymond suddenly felt Charmaine’s finger twitching no his hand, he looked down at his hand then looked back at her, slowly her eyes opened.
Raymond smiled seeing her awake, “Hi.”
Charmaine felt Raymond’s hand holding onto hers and smiled back at him.
“I’ll get the doctor,” Raymond stood up releasing his hand from Charmaine.
Although Charmaine was weak but she kept holding tightly onto Raymond’s hand not letting him go. He sat back down and held her hand towards his face, he didn’t say anything but just sat with her.
Shortly after Charmaine had woken up Jessica had also gain consciousness. She slowly opened her eyes seeing Kevin in front of her, “Ga Wing…” she muttered.
“You’re awake,” Kevin said sitting Jessica up from her bed.
“What happened?” Jessica asked not knowing why these events had happened, she suddenly remembered the flashes in her head, “Where’s Charmaine?”
“She’s fine… she was admitted to hospital last night,” Myolie informed Jessica.
Jessica was relieved hearing Charmaine was safe; she sat back on her bed not really understanding why she had flashes in her head. Not only were there flashes of Charmaine but it seemed that whatever happened to Charmaine also happened to Jessica too.

*Lam Apartment, 10:06am*
It had been few days since Jessica and Charmaine were admitted to hospital. Frankie had finally arrived home from his trip to England. He dropped his things on the lounge, “Where’s Raymond?” he asked their housekeeper.
“Master Raymond is in the kitchen,” the housekeeper replied.
“In the kitchen?” Frankie thought this was probably the weirdest thing ever, in the past year Raymond had only gone to the kitchen once and that was to get a drink. Frankie walked into the kitchen and stood by the door seeing Raymond wearing an apron standing next to the stove.
“So how long does this have to boil for?” Raymond asked Lan Jie.
“Usually for two hours,” Lan Jie added some salt into the soup, “Master Raymond why are you so willing to learn how to make soup.”
Raymond didn’t answer but shrugged his shoulders smiling, “Is it done yet?”
Lan Jie switched the stove off, “Yep.”
Raymond grabbed a heatproof container and poured the soup in, “Ah…” the soup spilt out of the pan and onto Raymond’s hand.
“I’ll get some cream for you,” Lan Jie said.
Raymond took his apron off and looked at the time, “It’s alright, I’m running late,” he grabbed the container and walked out the kitchen to see Frankie leaning against the door, “Dai Gor? When did you come back?”
“Just then,” Frankie lifted the container in Raymond’s hand, “What’s this for?”
“Nothing,” Raymond took the container back, “I’ve got to go. Bye.”
“What’s with Raymond?” Frankie asked Lan Jie curiously.
Lan Jie took the pan to the sink, “I don’t know but he had been acting weird since the ball at the hotel.”
Frankie really wanted to know what Raymond was up to, he had never seen his brother so willing to learn before and at something like cooking. He grabbed his keys and followed Raymond out.
----------------------------------------------------
*Hospital, Charmaine’s Room, 11:10am*
Raymond knocked on the door and walked inside. Charmaine had recovered a lot since she was admitted, most of her wounds had healed and the only injury she had left was the one on her head that was covered by a bandage. Raymond saw Charmaine trying to sit up and quickly rushed over to her helping her sit upright.
“What did I say about moving around too much?” Raymond said firmly.
“Didn’t you tell me not to move at all,” Charmaine adjusted her pillow a little.
Raymond poured some soup into a bowl and sat next to Charmaine on her bed, “That’s right, only move when I’m here.”
“What? How is that even fair? So if you forget to come one day I won’t be allowed to move?”
“That is correct, since you’re injured you have to listen to me,” Raymond took a spoon and fed Charmaine the soup he boiled.
Charmaine took a sip and noticed a huge red mark on Raymond’s hand, “What happened to your hand?”
“I burnt it when I was making you the soup,” Raymond showed her the mark on his hand.
She asked touching the red mark on his hand, “Ouch!” Raymond yelled loudly.
“I’m so sorry,” Charmaine held Raymond’s hand and blew at the red mark trying to make it not sting.
Raymond watched Charmaine being so nervous and couldn’t help but let out a laugh. Charmaine threw Raymond’s hand away and crossed her arms glaring at him. Raymond kept laughing loudly and put his arm around Charmaine, “It really does hurt.”
Charmaine slapped Raymond on his hand and started laughing too. She looked at Raymond and opened her mouth waiting for him to feed her. Raymond took another scoop and fed Charmaine.
Frankie wondered into the hospital and approached Charmaine’s hospital room. He walked towards the door and saw Raymond happily feeding Charmaine; at this point he knew exactly why Raymond was so willing to learn. Frankie smiled to himself, happy that Raymond was beginning to change.
