Chapter 275 - they'd obviously trade the one given to them by God

Suyin woke up in an emergency as if her mind and body reminded her of a something dangerous. She pushed herself from the bed, her heart beating frantically , and her brain buzzed. The massacre at the hotel still afresh.

She looked around. The room was dimly lit, with not even single furniture in sight other than a small stool with a teapot on it. The walls had red and white murals hand-painted all over which was unique to any traditional home in El Sandrios. Beautiful. But the bullet holes, and the missing chunks of plaster had their own story to narrate.

A pleasant yet not overwhelming fragrance covered the entire room. Suyin looked for the source of the fragrance, but couldn't find any. Just then her gaze fell on the IV in her hand. Reaching she was about to turn off the IV when she realised the room didn't even had a bed but just a mattress on which she was sleeping. 

She pushed to her feet to check her surroundings further; a shooting pain in her body reminded her she fell down from the stairs earlier. Cautiously she parted the curtain and peeked only to find people strolling around. Some had guns, some not. It even had women and kids walking and playing around.

Realising the place can't be dangerous, she let herself walk out. Though the room was small, the place was anything but small. If she's not wrong this must be a palace. An abandoned place that lost its glory and had fallen at the hands of its own people.

"You woke up," Suyin turned her head to find Luo walking towards her. He had the same doctor walking along. 

"Explain."

"Allow me," The doctor bypassed Luo and came to the front, a visible excitement on his face. "After you guys left, a series of blasts took place just a kilometre away from the hospital. Blaska bolts had come with a large force to claim the city under them. They had even attacked the hospital."

Many people died in the hospital, and many were captured. Now the hospital and the city were under the control of Blaska Bolts. "Come with us." Suyin silently followed to the courtyard covered by a makeshift tent from top.

Patients lying on the mattress, hooked to drips and contraptions and the nurses and volunteers taking care of them.

The doctor, "Revon helped as many people as he could to shift them here. We lost a few patients on our way, while a few serious ones are in the rooms. And the most of them are the civilians who decided to come with us."

Suyin, "Revon?"

Lou, "Sandrios brigade leader. And he is Dr. Reis Ali. I was at the market when Blaska's attacked and captured me. Had it not been for Revon's men following me all this while, I would have been dead."

Though it was expected for Revon's men to come looking for Lou and Suyin, but not so fast. However, it was a news for Lou when they revealed that the hospital was under attack and they were taking as many people with them to the safe location. They were especially assigned to bring him and the bald man along at any cost.

As expected, Suyin's a potential asset for them.

Luo was still not sure of Revon until he reach here. The leader of the one of the most dangerous militia groups in the country, but fighting for the safety of its people unlike others who were doing it for power. Sounds unrealistic? But true.

Many small militia groups had joined hands with them to fight for the country, rather against it.

Suyin blinked, the number of the people accommodated in this courtyard should be a few hundred. For a change, Revon doesn't sound as dangerous as before to her. He had been helping his people and had even brought as many hospital staff as he could to save others. 

Not to forget, he saved her as well.

A man with a rifle hanging on the shoulder came to them, "Rev had called for you all. Come with me."

Suyin frowned.

Lou came closer to Suyin and whispered, "Revon's son. He's still unconscious. Reis had already failed to give an answer."

.....

When Suyin entered the room possessing the uniqueness of the El Sandrios culture; this one had a bed, over which a teenage boy of 15-16 was lying unconscious. She glanced at the portable monitor briefly and shifted her attention to the other people.

other than Revon and his wife, she didn't recognise anyone. 

"You--" Revon used the same authoritative tone, "-- Reis told me everything. See what's wrong with my son." Revon's wife looked up at Suyin hopefully, but her tears got no reaction or move Suyin's already stoned heart.

Suyin didn't move. 

"DID YOU NOT HEAR ME--"

Revon's wife stood up, interrupting her husband. She folded her hands to Suyin, "Please. I beg you. Dr. Reis had told us what you did in the surgery. Just check him once." Standing in the side, Revon gritted his teeth, scowling at Suyin.

"other than boy's parents, Reis and Lou, everyone out." Suyin said.

"DID YOU NOT HEAR HIM? OUT." Marina yelled.

"Lou, close the door." Suyin grabbed a fresh pair of gloves and went to check the boy. "Anesthesia should have worn out by now. He should be breathing by his own. Did you give him something?"

The question was for Reis. "No. Nothing." He saw Suyin taking off the ventilator, and machine beeped. 

Marina, "What's happening?"

Suyin put the ventilator back, "Zero protective airway reflexes, no motor activity, and no consciousness."

"SO. TREAT HIM." Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'d-obviously-trade-the-one-given-to-them-by-god_51871283549357259 for visiting.

"Why should I when all his father did was bark at me like a mad dog? Do I owe you a favour that I should tolerate you order me around?"

Revon's jaw tightened, "S-Say that again."

"You want to get insulted again? I don't mind. But I have many other things to do. So please ask your wife to handle your temper."

Revon, "I saved your life and I can very much take it as well."

Suyin smiled. The bald look made her look sinister as ever. "I saved your son's life twice. And I dare you to burn the bridge that's the only way to keep your son alive."

"YOU--"

Marina stood between them, she showed a stern eye to Revon, "Do you want to lose him as well?" Revon silenced, but Marina's words meant many things. Suyin caught it, but she had no interest to probe more. "Please, treat him. I will give you anything in return. Anything."

Suyin's eyes lit up. That's what she needed most. "Keep him at bay," She shifted her attention to Reis, "I need to do some tests. CT to rule out clots, hematoma and bleeding. But I suppose we don't have that facility here?"

"We don't. But I have ran a CT already. Before we shifted him out of the hospital, I did it to make sure he doesn't any of these." Reis rummaged through the reports scattered on the table and gave it Suyin. "No abnormalities. And I'm repeating reversal agents repetitively as per your instructions." Suyin and Reis fell in a deep silence. They know what does it mean.

Suyin licked her lips, "In that case I'm afraid it's anoxic brain injury. A complication that comes from anaesthesia. There's no way to determine it beforehand. I'm sorry, your son is brain dead." That was a disappointment for her as well. Now she can't ask for anything. 

THUD

Revon threw a punch at Suyin which was blocked by Luo on time, tossing him over the chair, down on the floor. 

"GET OUT. BUNCH OF USELESS BASTARDS."

Suyin was at a loss for words, and nor she a reason to say anything. The famous Zz, who had solved the trickiest of cases, and was proud of her knowledge, failed. 

********

"What is your name?"

Reis came to stand beside Suyin as she watched the patients in the courtyard from a distance. 

"Z-- Zeke."

"It was not your fault."

"I know. But it was very important for me to save that boy." She could still faintly hear the boy's mother crying. It reminded her of something. Something familiar.

"Why?"

Suyin turned, "Do you know there were brokers in your hospital, trying to lure people into their traps? Organ trafficking trap."

"Isn't it everywhere?" Reis asked, failing to understand why she said that, "Can you do something about them? No. Especially in this country where people have nothing to give, they'd obviously trade the one given to them by God."

It was surprising to see a doctor talking about it so normally. "So you know about them?"

"I do."
