Nathan came out of his room, heading to the gym, when his cellphone rang. He saw the caller ID and smiled before answering it.
"Missing me already," he said, expecting a playful response.
But instead, Mia's sobbing voice came from the other end, and Nathan's expression changed to concern.
"Mia, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" he asked, but the sobbing increased, and he panicked.
"Please tell me what's wrong," he persisted, his voice filled with worry.
The call got disconnected, and Nathan panicked. "Mia!" he called out, quickly calling her number again. However, she wasn't picking up.
He quickly checked her tracker on his phone and saw that her location was at the hospital. "Gosh!" he exclaimed, rushing back to his room to get his car keys.
As he rushed out of the room, his family saw his haste.
"Nathan, wait!" his mother called out, but he was already gone, rushing out of the house without stopping to explain.
Some minutes later, Nathan drove crazily into the hospital, ran out of the car, and went inside, still checking his tracker. When he got to the receptionist desk, he was about to speak when suddenly his eyes caught sight of a familiar figure resting against the wall.
Mia had blood stains on her shirt and hand, and her eyes were swollen from excess tears. Nathan panicked and rushed to her.
"Mia," he called out, and Mia raised her face to him. "Nat!" she sobbed, rushing into his arms.
"What's going on? Why are you at the hospital? What happened?" Nathan asked curiously, pulling away from her as he caressed her face.
"Please talk to me," he urged.
"Na... Naomi," Mia sobbed.
"What about her?"
Earlier that day, Naomi and Mia had come out of the house, going to the market to get some food items.
"Alright, you two be back soon," Mr. Daniel said.
"Okay, Dad," they replied and walked away, chatting together.
About a minute later, after buying the food stuff, they were heading back home, chatting, when they came to the main road and waited along with some people for the traffic to turn red.
After waiting for a minute, it turned red, and everyone started walking through as the vehicles came to a stop. A pregnant lady was walking behind them slowly, and Naomi and Mia moved towards her, supporting her while holding her hands.
The lady smiled at them as they crossed the line, and then her scarf flew off from her neck. Mia rushed to get it, but unfortunately, a truck coming with full speed because of brake failure caught Naomi's attention.
"Mia!" she called out, and Naomi quickly saw the truck. She rushed to push Mia off, but unfortunately, the truck picked her up instead, making her roll over.
Everyone who saw the ghastly accident was in deep shock. Mia's eyes widened in horror as she saw Naomi's lifeless body on the ground with blood gushing out from her head and hand.
She was too shocked to scream. The truck driver was not spared either; before they rushed to him, he died on the spot.
Mia gathered herself and rushed to Naomi on the ground, trying to wake her up. She pulled her into her arms, tears streaming down her eyes.
Soon, an ambulance came to the scene and took the victims away. Mia followed as well, her heart heavy with grief and worry.
Nathan's eyes widened in horror as Mia told him what had happened to Naomi. He pulled her into a tight hug, trying to console her as she sobbed uncontrollably.
"Will Naomi be okay? Nothing is going to happen to her, right?" Mia asked, her voice trembling with fear as she clung to Nathan.
"Nothing will happen to her," Nathan said, his voice soft and reassuring as he stroked her hair.
Back at the palace, Alex woke up with a start, his eyes scanning the room frantically for Naomi. He had made him sleep earlier to ease his fear, but now he was nowhere to be found.
"Naomi," Alex called out, as he threw off the covers and stood up. But he suddenly groaned in pain, clutching his chest as a sharp sting pierced his heart.
Meanwhile, at the living room, the decorations sparkled, and the aroma of delicious food wafted through the air. But Mrs. Ruth's usual smile was replaced with a worried frown as she bustled around the kitchen.
Alex managed to drag himself out of his room, his face pale and drawn. His family turned to him, concern etched on their faces.
"Son, are you okay?" Queen Lala asked, rushing to his side as she helped him to the couch.
"Alex," Diva called out, her voice filled with worry.
"Are you okay, son?" King Luke asked.
"I'm just feeling a sting in my heart," He said, his voice weak as he clutched his chest.
"Do you want to see a doctor?" Queen Lala asked, her hand on his forehead.
"No, I'll be fine," Alex said, trying to reassure them.
As he dialed Naomi's number, his hands shook slightly. It rang, but there was no answer.
At the hospital, Nathan and Mia waited anxiously for news about Naomi's condition. Naomi's phone continued to vibrate with incoming calls.
"Alex is calling," Mia said.
"Don't answer it. Alex will lose it if he finds out,"
"What should I do?" Mia asked, looking at Nathan with tears in her eyes.
"Turn it off," Nathan said, his voice gentle but firm.
"I need to call Dad and inform him of the situation".She sniffs and Nathan nodded.
Back at the palace, Alex's worry deepened as Naomi's number went straight to voicemail. His family exchanged concerned glances.
"Did any of you see Naomi leave?" Alex asked.
"No, we were so busy. No one knows when she left," Queen Lala replied.
"I'll go freshen up". Alex stood up to leave, his legs wobbled beneath him. Diva and her mother rushed to his side, holding him steady.
"Alex, are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" King Luke asked, his voice filled with concern.
"I'm fine," Alex insisted, but his eyes betrayed his worry.
Back at the hospital, Mr. Daniel arrived, his face etched with worry. They were still waiting for the doctor, and just then, he emerged, sweat beading on his forehead. They rushed to him, their faces filled with anxiety.
"Doctor, how is my child doing?" Mr. Daniel asked, his voice trembling.
"Is my sister okay?" Mia asked, sniffing back tears.
"Everyone, calm down," the doctor said gently. "We're trying our best to save her. Right now, she needs blood."
"You can use mine," Mia said immediately.
"The patient is O positive," the doctor replied.
"She can't use mine. Does that mean she'll die?" Mia panicked, her eyes wide with fear.
"Don't say that. She won't die," Nathan said, trying to reassure her as he turned to Mr. Daniels.
"Uncle, what about you?" Nathan asked.
"She can't use mine," Mr. Daniels replied. "The only person's blood she can use is her mother."
"Her mother? Can't we call her?" Nathan asked urgently.
"We don't have much time," the doctor interjected.
"Let me call her," He said, taking out his phone and dialing Elena's number.
Everyone waited anxiously, their hearts heavy with worry.
Another hour passed, and Elena rushed into the hospital like a madwoman after being informed of what had happened. She hurried to follow the doctor to the office with everyone waiting behind.
After some minutes, she came out with the doctor, her face streaked with tears, and the doctor's expression somber.
"What happened?" Mr. Daniels asked, confusion on his face.
"I'm sorry, she can't donate blood to the patient," the doctor said, and everyone was taken aback.
"Why?" Mia and Nathan asked in unison.
"She's a cancer patient, and it would affect the patient," the doctor explained, and everyone was stunned by the sudden revelation.
Elena sobbed bitterly, her body shaking with grief.
"What do we do? We can't let Naomi die!" Mia yelled, frustration and desperation evident in her voice.
Everyone was in a state of confusion, unsure of what to do next.
"Alex," Nathan spoke up suddenly, Everyone turned to him. "I remember, Alex is O positive," Nathan said, and for a moment, relief washed over everyone's faces.
