THE PUZZLE

Episode 19

TO SAVE ROSELINE

David got home in no time. He parked  and rushed out of the car with top speed, while Debbie tagged along. Almost immediately, another car arrived and parked behind David's car. The driver came out. David turned around to see who it was, and found out that it was the same man at the restaurant. David had no time to query him . He held Debbie and rushed in. Evelyn was still inside waiting impatiently. He saw his wife on the floor and felt sorry for leaving home, tears clouded his eyes as he bent to check if she was still breathing. He found out she wasn't dead yet. "Thank you Jesus," he whispered. He carried Rose in his arms and dashed out of the house. Bearing her nearly lifeless body in his arms right now brought to mind memories of their wedding day. He realised how much he had been distant from his dear wife. When last did he hold her in his arms like this? 
"Let her not die oh God," he prayed.

"Please Evelyn, keep Debbie with you till we are back from the hospital," he pleaded.

"No problem," Evelyn replied in tears.

They got outside and saw Michael still waiting.

"Oh my God!" Michael exclaimed immediately he set his eyes on Rose.
"Roseline?" Is this a dream or what? So, she is your wife?" He quickly ran to them as they approached the car.

"Get out of my way, you this troublesome man. You claimed to be the father of my daughter not too long ago, now you know my wife? Disappear right now before I call the police

. I don't have your time..."

"Please hold on, I know her. Her mum was brought to my hospital last week when she had an accident, I was the one that treated her. Isn't her mum Mrs Edwards? I am a medical doctor. Please what happened to her?"

"Really?" David asked now helpless. He really needs the help of a medical personnel right now. "Please check her, please."

"Let her lie," Michael ordered.

They placed her on the rear seat of her husband's car. Michael felt her pulse...

"Quick! It's an emergency! Follow me right away."

They both entered their cars and sped to Fountain hospital.

Roseline was immediately wheeled into the emergency room. Her pulse was getting weaker. Doctor Michael did all he could to save her...

AT THE HOSPITAL RECEPTION AREA

David waited impatiently for the doctor. He kept praying that God should revive his wife. "Let her not die Lord," he prayed. He walked around the reception room, then sat down when he grew tired.

Memories of Rose came rushing back at him. He remembered the day he proposed to her, how they had both struggled when he was doing meagre jobs to cater for the family. Rose, was the kind of woman that endured with her husband. There was never a time she ran to her parents for help. She believed they could work things out together. She supported her husband with her salary. They had both managed through thick and thin before God elevated David and expanded his business...

"Jesus, have mercy.

. Rose must not die. Please Lord, she is all I have,  I promise to be there for her from now. I will try to be a better husband..."

He picked his phone and sent a short SMS to Pastor Daniel.
"My wife is in the emergency room in the hospital, please we need your prayers."

He sighed as he checked the time again.

Few minutes later, the doctor walked into the reception room. He moved slowly to where David sat. David quickly stood up and asked after his wife's condition.
The doctor sighed, then replied

"I don't know how it happened but I discovered she drank some toxic chemicals, probably some disinfectants. It has really affected her internal organs... He paused and sighed again, he was sweating despite the cool atmosphere.

"Talk to me doctor," David replied running out of patience.

"I am really sorry sir, we lost her."

"You lost who? Nooooooooo!" David screamed. "Roseline cannot die. I am finished!"
