"I’ll be there right away. It’s okay Shane. We’ll talk later."
 
        "Do you want me to call, Bette?"

        "No, I’ll call her." Tina knew that Bette would be in total panic if it was Shane who would call her.

        Shane and Alice waited in the lounge for the doctors. It’s been over an hour since they arrived in the hospital but there’s no sign of Tyler nor the doctors.

    "Shane, where is she?" Bette came in, panting.

    "She’s still inside. We haven’t heard from the doctors yet." Shane said but wasn’t able to look at Bette directly. She was so scared to see Bette’s face knowing that she wouldn’t like what she’ll see. Bette arrived first since the gallery is just a few minutes drive to the hospital.

    Alice stood and approached Bette. She knew that she has to say something. "Bette, I’m really sorry. I was preparing food and when I came back to the living room, I saw her on the floor. I’m really sorry. If only I had known."

    "It’s okay, Al. We expect these things to happen. It’s just that it’s still hard to accept her condition and so hard to try living each day knowing that something might happen to her while we’re away."

    "Bette," Tyler’s doctor approached them. Still sweaty from the room where Tyler was admitted.

    "Dr. Wilson. How is she?"

    "She’s still unconscious but we already applied proper medication for her. She is being brought to her room now. She’s gonna be fine now. But I need to talk to you in private," Bette looked at the doctor with fears in her eyes. She didn’t know why she suddenly felt shivers down her spine but she knew that at that moment she would need one person to be beside her.

    "Can we wait for my partner?" Just as Bette asked Dr. Wilson, Tina came in running.

    "Bette! Where is she? Is she okay?"

    "She’s already in the room. They just brought her there. Dr. Wilson needs to talk to us, though, " Bette turned to face Alice and Shane, "would you mind going to Ty’s room? Just be there and make sure she sees someone when she wakes up."
