The Mask Guy
Chapter fifty-two(52)
Scaring moment
Days turned into week and weeks turned into months.
It was exactly three months that cassy had been in the hospital.
Fred had spend so much money on the oxygen and drip .though the drip lasted for a few days, the oxygen mask was still placed on cassy .
Fred knelt beside cassy carressing her palm and murmuring sounds into. Her ear as it has become a part of him to this every day and for the last three months he has never missed it for a day .
The doctor walked into the ward
“Mr fred I knew I will find you in here “ the doctor said after standing quietly for a few seconds
Fred looked towards the door then saw the doctor
“ when did you come in” fred asked as her was so lost and focus on cassy that he didn't even know when the door opened .
“ just now. I will like to speak to you in my office “ the doctor said
“Alright just give me few minutes” fred said
“ I will be waiting “ the doctor said then left
“ I will be back before you even feel my absence “ fred said then kissed cassy on her cheek before walking out .
“ please sit “ the doctor said
Fred did as he was told wondering what the doctor was about to tell him.
“ I won't waste much of your time so I will just go straight to the reason I called you” the doctor said taking a deep and long breath before continuing
“ today makes it three whole months that miss Cassandra was brought here and ever since, she hasn't been responding to treatment. She isn't breathing and you have wasted a whole lot of money on her oxygen mask yet she isn't showing any sign of ever waking up “the doctor said
“ are you insinuating that my cassy is dead “ fred asked standing to his feet .
“Am sorry mr fred but that seems to be the case
Fred made to walk out but, suddenly he rush towards the doctor furiously holding him by the collar
“What did you just say” he asked as if he didn't hear in the first place
“ am...... am......... “the doctor said stuttered as he became lost of words due to how scared he was at the way fred held on his collar .
Raymond was just at fred's place .
Lying on one of the couch with his back while his chest was upwards .
Two months ago fred pleaded with him to get his stuffs and start staying with him .
And after few days of fred consistently pleading with him, he had compassion seeing how broken fred was so he traveled to his place, picked every of his belonging then wrote a resignation letter at his work place and after submitting, he relocated to Mexico and to fred's house .
And ever since then, he has been the one running Refinement modeling Agency along with fred's assistant Philip. He was always occupied but today he felt so lonely as it was weekend and he had no where to go to .
He thought of going to the police station but he already called an officer from there who told him what was going on and how the case was going. Mr Paul would have face punished a long time ago but fred wanted cassy to be present and now that she wasn't awake the case was on hold .
“Let me pay cassy and fred a visit “ he said standing to his feet.
After changing into a jeans pant and a t-shirt, he took one of the car key then went out.
At the hospital, he pulled over at the parking lot then walked into the building.
He walked into cassy's ward then saw a nurse wiping cassy's body with a wet towel
“Where is mr fred “ ray inquired when he didn't see fred .
“ he is in the doctor's office “ the nurse answered .
Raymond walked to the doctor's office and on opening the door, he saw fred holding the doctor by the collar .
“Fred what are you doing let him go” ray said rushing toward fred and the doctor
“ hey bro let him go” ray pleaded removing fred’s hands from the doctor's collar
“He is crazy” the doctor said .
“Who is crazy” fred asked rushing towards him but Ray quickly held him then pleaded with him to go outside while he speak with the doctor.
“I will be in cassy's ward “ he said to ray
“ don't you ever think of saying such trash “ fred warned the doctor before walking out .
Immediately fred shut the door behind him, the doctor took a deep breath .
“What did you tell him that angered him so much “ ray asked sitting down
“I called him here to talk about miss Cassandra
She has been lifeless for the past three months and there is no hope of her ever waking up “ the doctor said
“Oh..... I see what infuriated fred that much “ray said folding his hands on his chest .
“Mr Fred has spent so much money and am afraid to say this miss Cassandra might never wake considering her state right now “ the doctor said
“ So what are you trying to say “ ray asked
“ I will advise we talk off the oxygen mask because she is already dead “ the doctor said
“Have you told fred about removing the oxygen mask” Raymond asked
“No “ the doctor said .
“I thought as much when I saw how lifeless she looked but it's going to take a look of time to convince fred “ Raymond said
“ I know but he has to agree because miss Cassandra don't look like she will ever wake even in the next three years “ the doctor said
“I will get back to you because I understand that you are just trying to help save money “ ray said
“Spending money to save a love one is okay but spending money on a love one who will never wake up is a waste because he or she won't wake yet money will be wasted “ the doctor said
Raymond took a deep breath and said
“ thank you so much doctor I will get back to you “ before walking out.
Though the doctor expected such attitude but he didn't thought of the possibility that fred would want to strangle him just because he was doing his job.
Raymond walked out of the doctor's office then went to cassy's ward when he didn't find fred As at the reception room.
“Cassy it's time to wake up am so scared everyone including the doctor that is supposed to make sure you are save has given up but I we won't cassy .I won't give up on you” ray hear fred’s voice followed by a sob .
“Why is fred so unlucky ever since they were in high school, fred has always lost whoever he loves and this has continued till date who did he wrong “ ray asked himself as a tear escaped from his eyes.
Wiping off the tears, Raymond held the door knot then opened the door after deliberating on opening the door or not for some seconds .
