Chapter 56 I Lost Out On Jasmine
Outside the waiting room the following morning, it was a little crowded.
Mr and Mrs Trevor were sitting on the rows of chairs outside the operating room. Nicole and Hailey sat with them.
Mrs Trevor placed her head in her palms as she lowered her head, muttering silent prayers. Her husband sat close to her, his eyes were shut as he rested his head on the wall.
The tension between them was palpable, everyone was eaten by anxiety as they waited.
Nicole stood up from the chair and walked down the long corridor,silently praying, her cheeks started to get wet with her tears as she prayed for a safe surgery.
Meanwhile, Kingsley was inside Doctor Williams’ office. He sat on the couch, staring at the piles of photos on the desk.
Raymond was standing close to the door as he watched Kingsley stare like a moron. He didn’t say a word. Raymond tried as much as possible to be invincible knowing Kingsley must be passing through a tough time.
Kingsley’s eyes remained glued on Jasmine’s photos, he had asked for photos of her in the surgery room.
His eyes were cold as he stared at Jasmine who was seemingly sleeping soundly on the bed, her hair was covered. Just her pale face that a bright light was focusing on.
Kingsley bit his thumb, each moment of wait felt like a thousand knives piercing him. The surgery started a few hours ago at exactly 10 Am, it was noon and Doctor Williams had not yet dialed his number.
He didn’t want to sit in the lobby with her family and friends, he just wanted to be far from there.
