Chapter 20... 🌻 


"Does it mean he's alive? He's not dead? " I asked the doctor.
I kept sniffing as I held Cody's hand in mine.
The doctor came closer to Cody and checked his heart beat with his stethoscope. 
I looked up at him, waiting for him to speak up. 
"He's alive, right? " I asked the doctor. 
"Right? " I asked again when he didn't say anything. 
"Yes, but his heart rate is so low and he needs to be treated immediately" the doctor said. 
"My Cody, I knew my Cody would never leave me. He has come back to me " a smile tugged on my lips as the doctor started connecting oxygen and every other necessities to him. 
Soon, the electrocardiogram started reading Cody's heart rate and my baby was alive.
I couldn't hold in my happiness so I kept smiling like an idiot. 
I was panting cause I was already dead inside, there was no way I was gonna live without my Cody.
I stared at my Cody, sleeping peacefully on the bed and I just couldn't stop smiling. 
I squatted a little and kissed my Cody on the forehead. 
"This is indeed a miracle " the doctor said and I nodded in smile with tears rolling down my cheeks.
" my Cody knows how much I love him so he came back to me and I know my mom heard me crying too "I told the doctor and he smiled. 
"OK fine, when you are done come to my office, we need to discuss what happened " he said and I looked at him.
"Discuss what? What do you mean? "I asked him. 
"Your brother didn't die on his will but someone tried to murder him " he blurted out and my head spun for a moment. 
Murder? Someone tried to murder my baby? Who'd  want to kill a child so young?  A 4 years old boy that doesn't even know anything about life, who? 
This triggered my curiosity so I followed the doctor to his office. 
I sat opposite him, uneasy cause if the doc said someone tried to kill Cody then we don't have to leave him alone in his ward again. 
"It was this evening actually, I went to check up on him and I found every life supporting machine disconnected from him " he started and I panted softly. 
This is making me scared, what if I had lost my Cody? 
" I guess I got there too late cause he was already dead when I got there. I tried reviving him but it was far too late for that so I started calling you but you wouldn't pick" he told me. 
Tears rolled down my cheeks as he told me. 
I want busy dancing, celebrating, happy while my Cody was suffering. 
Gosh! I'm the worst sister ever! This is all my fault!. 
"How did the unknown person get into the hospital and did all that?" I asked the doctor. 
"We don't know Amy " he replied. 
"You don't know? Well I'll tell you! Your security is trash! Your hospital has a very low security and all the security guards here are fools! " I yelled at him. 
"We are very sorry Miss Amy, something like this haven't happened before but it'll never happen again "He assured. 
My thoughts were far from where I was, I just couldn't stop thinking of who'd wanna kill my Cody, he's such an angel. 
"We need tight security now cause if who ever tried to kill him finds out that he's still alive, the person would still come back " the doc said and I nodded.
"Can we at least go ask the receptionist if anyone came to check up on Cody? " I asked the doctor. 
"Yeah sure, let's go " he said and we headed to the reception. 
We got there and asked her. She replied yes and the doc and I glanced at each other then back at her. 
"Who? " I asked her. 
"Hold on " she said and went through her laptop. 
"Cody's uncle " she replied and the doc and I looked at each other again. 
Cody doesn't have an uncle for Pete's sake. 
"What do you mean his uncle? Cody doesn't have an uncle, I'm his only guardian " I stated clearly. 
"How was he ?" the doc asked her. 
"He was dressed in a suit and he looked so responsible " she replied. 
"let's go see the CCTV footage " the doc said and I nodded and followed him. 
We went to the guy in charge of the cameras and asked him to show us all the footage for this evening. 
In the CCTV footage, there was a man in suit like the receptionist had told us. 
He walked up to the receptionist and after a while, he went in the direction of Cody's ward with another guy in suit. 
They were two, two men in suits. 
Minutes later, they came back and left the hospital like nothing had happened.
The CCTV camera don't show the activities of wards cause it's private so we didn't see them doing the deed. 
We could file a complaint at the station cause we could see their faces. 
The doctor made a call to the county sheriff and he was here with his team a while later. 
The doctor told them everything, showed them the CCTV footage and a photo of those two guys were printed out. 
They said they'd handle the case and make sure to find the two criminals. 
The doctor placed two security guards at the door post to Cody's ward so they'd keep an eye on him. 
They're to let no one in except me and the doctor. 
I felt so bad leaving Cody at the hospital but I had to go check up on Caden plus there are security guards looking after Cody. 
I've been waiting out here for a cab but haven't gotten anyone. 
It was so so late, it was almost morning. 
I decided to take a walk down the road till I see a cab.
Everywhere was so cold with wind howling everywhere making my hair fly. 
I wrapped my arm around myself, trying to keep myself warm. 
I sighted a group of guys coming towards me and I stopped on my track. 
They didn't look gentle but looked more of vagabonds.
I looked back and noticed I was already far away from the hospital. 
OK, just calm down, don't look at them but continue walking. 
I looked down as I walked in the other side of the road. 
I gasped when they crossed over to me and circled me. 
"Hey cutie, did you miss your way? " one of them asked. 
Their breath stank of alcohol and I couldn't help but cover my nose.
"I didn't miss my way " I said and tried walking away but they blocked me. 
I was already starting to shake out of fear. 
"Look, y'all better let me go or else.. "
"Or else what? " one asked. 
I was so scared, thinking of what they'd do to me. 
The road was so empty and I knew they could have their way with me cause there was no one to help. 
One of them grabbed my arm so tight I squealed. 
They started dragging me to God knows where. 
"Let me go! " I cried as they dragged me away. 
I should have slept at the hospital.
