Crossroads

Chapter 56
As the night stretched on, an unusual sense of irritation settled over Dominick
Standing outside the balcony of the hospital’s emergency room, he observed the solemn expressions of the medical staff amid the incessant sound of ambulance sirens. Lighting a cigarette, he took a long drag, seeking solace in the smoke.
“Is something bothering you, Dominick?” the woman on the hospital bed asked softly.
However, he remained silent, feeling the chill of the night air on his face. The faint scent of blood hung in the air, adding to the unease.
Though not a habitual smoker, Dominick was unusually restless tonight..
With his phone clutched in his left hand, its screen illuminating with a familiar number, he dialed it nine times to no avail.
Frustration gnawed at him as he clenched his hand and eventually powered off his phone.
“The patient’s blood type is the rare Rh type,
ype, but the hospital doesn’t have it.”
“Get the blood station to transport the blood packs here immediately!”
“They don’t have enough either! The patient lost too much blood…”
Abrupt shouts pierced the air from beyond the ward door, a reminder of the critical nature of the emergency department. Only those with sudden medical complications would end up here, and if they couldn’t make it through this place, they might not be able to live anymore.
Despite his usual indifference, Dominick felt compelled to turn and observe the commotion, perhaps due to the intensity of the surrounding situation.
A huddle of doctors and nurses engaged in swift discussions, their seriousness palpable.
“I have the same blood type as her. Draw my blood…” A familiar figure rushed past the ward door, offering their own blood. Dominick wanted to leave the room to confirm his suspicion on the man who had just passed by.
“Dominick, I’m thirsty,” Jessica’s weak voice called out as he prepared to leave. He paused briefly, casting a cold glance back at her.
“Ring the bell and call the nurse,” he said coldly before hurrying away, wanting to catch up with the figure.
As Jessica watched him depart, her expression shifted to one of melancholy and complexity.
She clenched her fist and banged the head of the bed.” Dominick, where are you going? You promised to accompany me tonight
However, no one noticed her weak and pitiful state as Dominick had already disappeared from her sight.
“Where is he going in such a hurry?” Jessica looked out the ward, suddenly feeling anxious.
Dominick walked out quickly, but lost track of the familiar man at the corner of the corridor.
“Kevin?” He stopped and looked around the hospital corridors suspiciously.
Dominick wondered why his cousin showed up at the hospital’s emergency department in the middle of the night.
He would be reminded of the three–year marriage between Kevin and Stephanie every time he met Kevin. On top of that, Kevin has been pestering Stephanie ever since she saved him from the river.
