Chapter 17

"If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk, then crawl. But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." - Martin Luther King Jr
_________________________________ 
It's been two weeks since they went to Arche's father's company, and Nicole and Haru just found out that another building will be built for the hospice. Mr. Harrison will also be sponsoring the hospice.
"Haru, why aren't you dressed yet?" Nicole asked Haru when she saw that it hadn't been fixed yet by herself. 
"I will not go to the hospice Nicole, I will go to Bicol. I will visit my mother," Haru said.
Nicole noticed that Haru was not being told something. Nicole suddenly remembered that these past few days, Haru always felt a headache and dizziness, and sometimes she saw her vomiting, but when she asked about it, Haru always said that she was tired, lacking sleep, and it wasn't digested what she ate, but Nicole felt to herself that something was wrong but she ignored it.
"All right, be careful. I'll go ahead. Next time I'll be with you when you visit again in Bicol." she said to Haru, but Haru nodded. When Nicole arrived at the hospice, Arche immediately asked Nicole. 
"Where's Haru, Nicole?"
"Didn't she say goodbye to you? She's going to the province."
"No, why didn't tell me?" Arche asked in astonishment.
"Maybe it's because she misses aunt Emma so much. So that she wasn't telling you that she was going to Bicol, but I'm sure when she gets there, she'll call you right away." She said to Arche.
"Love!" Nicole looked at the person who screamed and there she saw Jasper just arriving. When he approached Nicole, Nicole slapped him on the shoulder because of her boyfriend's shouting.
"You're embarrassing!"
"What's embarrassing? I'm just shouting how much I love you," Jasper said with a laugh. Nicole kicked her boyfriend and everyone laughed.
"We'll leave first because we're going to the hospital to visit my grandma. Will you come with us, Arche?" Jasper asked his friend.
"No, I'll visit grandma Amelia next time." He said, so Nicole and Jasper waved at them and continued to leave the hospice.
"Do you think grandma is okay?" Jasper asked Nicole.
Jasper grandmother was taken to the hospital because she suddenly fell down yesterday.
"Your grandma will be fine, love." She would reassure him. An hour ago, they arrived at the hospital. They immediately went to their Amelia's room.
"Grandma Amelia!" Jasper cheerfully called his grandma.
"Is she okay, mom?" He asked her mother. 
"Yes, son, your grandma is already fine. She just needs to rest."
"You heard that, granny. You need to rest." Jasper said, but his grandma ignored him.
"Where's the good boy? Aren't you with him?" The old woman asked Jasper 
"You're looking for someone. Aren't you still satisfied with me as your very handsome grandson?" Jasper jokes here. Nicole and Jasper's mother laugh at what they see because the old woman threw at Jasper a book that she was holding.
"Get out of here, Jasper. Arche is the one I want to see."
"Granny, you're hurting my feelings." 
"Stop this Jasper, aren't you going to hospice?"
"No mom, we just went here to say hello to Grandma, but I regret why I came here... Grandma!!" Jasper shouted again because his granny threw something at him again.
"Take care of my granny, mom. We're leaving. I will come back here later, mom." Jasper said and he left the room because his grandma was going to throw something again at him. Nicole said goodbye and followed Jasper.
"I can pay as much as I can! Even if it's a million! I need to talk to Doctor Ramirez now!"
Jasper and Nicole stopped walking because they saw a woman making trouble at the nurse station, and almost everyone here was already watching her.
"Ma'am, Doctor Ramirez is not here. He leaves early, so please come back tomorrow."
"I don't need those papers because they won't cure my illness. All I need is Doc Ramirez! I need to talk to him! I need to talk to him, right now!"
Jasper and Nicole were shocked because they saw the lady tearing the papers they were holding and sat on the floor while she was crying while the nurses supported her and tried to calm her. 
"I need to talk to him, I'm begging you. I need to talk to him!" 
Jasper and Nicole decided to leave but they were surprised when suddenly the people and the nurse shouted and only one name was clearly heard by Nicole that made her nervous.
"Ms. Haru! Help! Call Doctor Ramirez and tell him it is an emergency, something has happened to Haru Sandoval." Without hesitation, Nicole ran to where they were. And here she cried because of what she saw. Because the woman lying on the stretcher now is Haru.
"H-Haru," Nicole's difficult speak. Nicole followed where the nurses would take Haru, but when they entered a room, the nurses stopped them. Nicole did nothing. She would not stop crying, Jasper hugged Nicole tightly. 
"Jasper, what happened to her, it's Haru ... it's Haru, it's Haru,  jasper." She repeated saying. 
"Shhhh... She's fine, okay? She'll be fine. Nothing bad will happen to her."
"I thought she was in the province. She said she was going to the province, but why is she here? Why?" She asked Jasper again, even though she knew she couldn't get an answer from here.
"Where is Ms. Sandoval now?"
"Doc, we took her to the emergency room." They looked at the doctor who hurried to where Haru entered. Nicole blocked it before it could get inside.
"What happened to her? Will she be okay, Doc?"
"I need to check the patient first. I'll  talk to you later." The doctor said and hurriedly entered the emergency room.
Nicole didn't know what was going on. At first, she knew that Haru hadn't told her anything. Nicole blames herself. If she had accompanied Haru, she would have known what happened to her.
"Drink it first. Don't think too much, I know she's fine," said Jasper, and he gave Nicole a bottle of water.
"I hope so ... I hope she's fine Jasper because I don't know what I'll do if something bad happens to her. I didn't know what I did If I let her live simply in the province, and if I hadn't messed up there, she would have been fine and she wasn't here." Nicole said and she deeply breathe.
