“What did the doctor say?” Ken asked

“She asked for her blood group”

“That’s all?”
 
“No. she told me the bike man had some fractures but thankfully, it’s not so bad but the driver is in a coma”

He gasped and pressed his lips together .

“What about Maddy?”

“They can’t tell till the test results are out but she will be fine.”

“Okay, I believe so . How long will that take?”

“Nothing less than thirty minutes” Nancy said and went to sit. 
“It may be over thirty minutes”.

Patting her side, she said “Come and sit down. Your standing won’t do anything. We have to be strong for her”

Ken hesitated a bit, then sat down.

“The only profitable thing we can do now is to pray Ken, not worry”

“Yes” he breathed in. 

“Thanks Nancy” he said and gave a small smile.

A lady walked out of a beautiful house, put off her shoes at the door and started to walk barefooted. 

She met a man at the door who followed her as she walked on. She hit her foot against a stone and yelped.

“Won’t you say sorry?” she asked, not waiting

“That you put off your beautiful shoes?” he asked

“It’s none of your business”
 
“Well, you wanted me to interfere by saying sorry”

She hissed and kept walking. 

After few minutes of silence,
“Where am I going?” she asked, facing the man beside her.

“Why are you facing me? You asked yourself the question though” the man said

“But I don’t know, I’m just going” she said in a confused manner

“Well, you don’t but you do”

“That’s the silliest answer I’ve heard in a while”

“Your question is also the silliest I’ve heard in a while”

“Pfft” she said and walked on briskly

IN THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE, AFTER FIFTY MINUTES

Ken put his hands on his face as tears trickled down his fingers while Nancy put her hands on her knees, rocking back to and fro on the chair.

“Since it’s been discovered early, the morbidity rate has been reduced” Dr

. Doris said and continued “Thank God Dr. Henry is available”. 

Facing Ken, she said “He’s the best Neurosurgeon we have here”

“Okay, you can carry on with the surgery” Nancy said. 

“He will sign the document” she added.

Dr.

Read " Once Upon A Lie " by the same author ( Gracious )

. Doris brought out the document and gave it to Ken. He took the biro on her table and signed it. 

“Doctor,” Ken said “Please do your best to make this surgery a success”

“I will do all that I can do, I pray God does only what He can do” she said

“Amen” Ken replied and they all left the office.

“Nancy,” Ken called as they walked “What is the depressed skull fracture about? And the Intra-whatever?”

“Depressed fracture” she said and they sat down.

“It’s a severe head injury. It means some part of her skull is crushed inwards because of the fall from the motorcycle. According to the result shown from the CT scan, it’s the frontal lobe”

“Okay, what about the intra-thing?”

“Intracranial hematoma?” she asked and he nodded 

“Intra-thing indeed” she said and they both smiled a bit. 

“Well,” she continued “it is accumulation of blood within the brain. Here, I think it’s epidural hematoma. Now, before you ask, it’s just a type of Intracranial hematoma”

“Okay, I wasn’t going to ask though” he said and she gave him a look. 

“So, what will the doctors do during the surgery?”

“They drain the accumulated blood, remove the pieces of bone pressed inward and return the skull to its original position maybe with mesh or metal wire.”

“It sounds easy but I know it’s a lot of work. How do you people even do these things?” he said .

Nancy smiled “I pray the surgery goes straight. May there be no complications”

“Amen”
