Chapter 11:
Emergency |
Automn fell back on her pillows, inert and silent. "Quick!" Lin cried, "call the doctor!" Anna and Jenna dashed from the room, faces white and terrified. The doctors came in, ready to perform the usual seizure protection procedures. But something was wrong. Automn was not responding at all. Jeffry stood by the bed, unsure of what to do, as the doctors shouted orders and became slowly, almost imperceptibly, more and more desperate. "Jeffry," a nurse said, grabbing him rather roughly by the upper arm, "Jeffry, you need to get out of the way." "But I want to stay with Automn..." "Never mind, she'll be fine." And the nurse hauled the patient away. Anna and the rest of Automn's friends returned, only to be shooed away. "We're going to have to take her to another hospital, Lin," Automn's main doctor said, raising her eyes from Automn's slackened and pale face, brushing the girl's long hair away from her closed eyes. Lin looked ashen, but the worst was yet to come. |
