second that they wouldn’t get a match and that Angel could actually die. What were they going to do?
As everyone stood around trying to wrap their minds arou nd what was happening, two people came running down the hall towards Angel’s room screaming, “We’ve got it! We’ve got it! We’ve got a match!” The door to Angel’s room immediately opened and they rushed inside.
The hospital staff and all of Angel’s friends and family started clapping, cheering, and screaming for joy. Jason and Vicky just stood there stunned.
“Jason, what just happened? Did they say they have a match?”
Jason picked Vicky up and spent her around kissing her hard on the lips before finally answering her. “Yes, baby. They’ve got a match for Angel.”
After about fifteen minutes, Dr. Franks came out of Angel’s room “Ms. Martin?”
Jason released Vicky from his arms as they both made their way through everyone to talk to him. “Yes, yes, I’m right here. What’s going on? How is she? Can I see her?”
Everybody stood around with abated breath waiting to hear the news.
“If you haven’t figured it out yet, through some miracle we were able to get a blood match for Angel. We are in the process of completing the blood transfusion now. However, I need you to know that this doesn’t by any means mean that Angel is out of the woods but it does mean she has a fighting chance.”
They listened intently to everything D r. Franks had to say. “Angel has a long road ahead of her and the next 24-48 hours are going to be critical but….we’ve got a real chance. I’ve got to get back inside. We’re prepping her for surgery.”
Chapter 23
Dr. Franks went back into Angel’s hospital room to continue working on her. Now, instead of everyone being blanketed by the feelings of death those feelings were now replaced with feelings of hope and life. The relief was so palpable and the jubilation was so contagious. Everyone just started hugging each other. Even Alicia Carter and she didn’t know a soul except for her husband’s mistress. That was probably why no one noticed when Ryan stepped off of the elevator. No one except Alicia. When she saw him she called out “Ryan!”
Suddenly the room went very quiet and all eyes turned into the direction that Alicia called. Ryan walked over towards her. He bent to kiss her on the temple but she turned her head and hissed at him “Where have you been? I’ve been trying to get in touch with you all day.” After that, everything seemed to move in slow motion. Before Ryan could say anything Jason walked over to him and punched him in his face. Ryan fell to the floor knocked out cold. For just a few moments everyone stood around stunned. Everyone except for the reporter who’d followed Ryan Carter up to Angel’s floor. He captured everything on video with his iPhone.
Some of the medical staff rushed to Ryan’s side to make sure he was alright. Alicia didn’t bother to help. She just watched the scene unfold before her. Ryan began to come to while being helped to his feet and Jason was ready and waiting.
“Get up you bastard!” Jason couldn’t wait for Ryan to get his bearings so that he could beat him like he deserved. Franklin and Vicky made their way over to Jason to make sure he didn’t kill Ryan. Franklin could only imagine how Jason felt knowing that scumbag literally held life and death in his hands….with his own child no less. Yet, he couldn’t allow Jason to hurt him or got to jail. His family needed him to be strong for them as they got through this next critical stage.
Ryan got to his feet and cleared his head “What the hell? Alicia what are you doing here? And ...Why the hell did you hit me? I don’t even know you.”
Jason was ready to charge him again but Franklin held him back. Mr. Rutherford Sr. tried to get control of the situation. “This is not a conversation that I
