Chapter 10 Her dignity l

Savannah didn't know what to do, she wasn't thinking straight as she ran out of the house. All attempts by her friend to call her back were abortive as she ran quickly.

Reaching at the roadside, she stopped a taxi and entered inside it before telling the driver the location of the hospital.She didn't know that she was crying until she felt a salty taste in her lips but that was the least of her worries.

Immediately the driver stopped at the hospital, she ran out after paying him and made her way into the hospital.

She noticed that some people were staring at her but she didn't care as she ran quickly into the elevator that was crowded with people. She really wished to push the elevator faster so that it could be faster.

She was so anxious, she bit her lower lip to stop more tears from flowing down but it was effortless as more tears slipped down her cheeks.

Immediately, the elevator opened, she ran to her brother's ward and saw a doctor and nurses running inside it.

Out of impulse, she made her way inside the room but a doctor stopped her and tried closing the door but she held the doctor's lab coat and asked amidst sobs, "Doctor, how is my brother?"

The doctor looked at her with pity before saying, "We are trying our best to save him. "Those words made her hands slip out of his coat and he entered inside and locked the door.

She can clearly remember those words and they were not a good sign.She was told these exact words before but she ended up crying even more.

She ran towards her brother's ward window and saw her brother laying down lifeless as the doctors used a palpictor on his heart. She couldn't withstand it and she fell down on the floor and sobbed profusely.

She was scared, scared of losing the only family she has in the whole world. She really doesn't know how to live without her brother, he is all she got left.

Moreover,She doesn't know if she will survive, if at all something happens to her brother. She sobbed for a while until she felt as though the whole water in her system had dried up. She hasn't prayed for long but this time she closed her eyes and prayed to God to spare her brother.

"Miss Savannah, meet me in my office. "The doctor's voice interrupted her from her thoughts as she stood up and ran towards him.

Reaching in his office, he went and sat down but Savannah remained standing.

"Don't you want to sit? Please have a seat." The doctor said and pointed at a seat opposite him. Savannah really didn't have the strength to protest so she sat down as she was asked.

"Please doctor,tell me that my brother is still alive. "She said with a pleading eyes as tears slipped down her eyes and she immediately wiped it off with the back of her palm.

"Please calm down, your brother is out of danger for now or should I say he is still alive but..." The doctor paused and looked at Savannah who looked a little relaxed after hearing his words.

After a few seconds he continued with what he said earlier. "The next time that this type of thing happens, he will not survive it. Savannah, your brother had a very serious heart attack tonight and his heart disease just escalated to the next stage and if you don't do anything before this week runs down then your brother will be gone for real."

The doctor concluded with a sign as he began to arrange the files on his desk.

"I..." Savannah did not really know what to say, should she promise him again or tell him to give her another week. She can't really control her tears as she lets it flow down, she knows that she is being weak but at this rate, she can't really help it.

"Look Savannah this is not the matter of tears, the medicine you are paying for is not doing anything and frankly speaking I am tired of hearing your endless promises and excuses. Please for the sake of your brother and yourself do something." The doctor said in a dismissive tone and bent his head to the document on his table.

Savannah couldn't utter a word as she stood up slowly and walked out of the doctor's office. Besides,she felt really embarrassed that she couldn't do anything to save her one and only brother.

She thought of going to Andy and asking for a loan but what will he think of her? A golddigger, a slut, a beggar. She wants to still have a little dignity but what does she prefer? Dignity or the life of her brother?

She felt her head spinning and her leg wobbling. She was about to fall down when she felt a hand on her back to steady her. She turned around and engulfed her friend in a very tight hug.

"Lucy I am scared." She said in a very low voice as she broke down and cried her heart out and her friend kept patting her back and muttering encouraging words to her.

"What did the doctor say?" Her friend asked her after leading her to the cafeteria that was outside the hospital and they both sat down to wait for their food.

"Lucy, he said that my brother would die soon if I did not bring the money." Savannah replied without meeting Lucy's gaze as she fixed her eyes on the floor.

Lucy shifted her seat closer to Savannah's and stretched her hand and lifted Savannah's jaw so that she's looking at her.

"Look Savannah, you know that you are not supposed to be doing this. You are pregnant and you don't want to lose your child, right?" She asked as she looked at Savannah who nodded with tears still slipping down her cheeks.

"Then for the sake of your child, please stop crying. We will both think of something together and you will get a solution, okay?" Lucy said and placed a kiss on her cheek.

Savannah looked up and gave Lucy a stiff smile. "Thank you so much for always staying by my side. I wouldn't have asked for a better friend."
