A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

After a while, the door of the emergency room burst open and the doctor walked out.

Emily stopped the doctor and asked immediately, "Doctor, how is she doing?"

"The patient was injected with a particular kind of drug. Her body was too weak to work off all the toxins and she had an overdose. Anyone exposed to this drug would witness a severe addiction, so she should receive an abstinence treatment later on..." answered the doctor.

"What? That liquid contained a drug?"

Emily was shocked. Her eyes were staring at nothing and her mind was wandering away from that place. She had a cold thrill on her back as she recalled all the things that happened.

Tina had tried to injected Emily with that highly addictive drug. It was unbelievable. What if Emily hadn't stopped her? What if it was Emily now lying on the hospital bed completely drugged without even knowing how dangerous the drug was? That was awful!

At that moment, the Tao family, Debby and Andrew rushed into the hospital. Their reaction was the same as Emily's as they talked with the doctor, "What? Drug?" Bess was overwhelmed by that news. She was up to faint away, but then she grabbed the doctor by the arm and asked, "Doctor, can you be a little more specific? How is my daughter now? What are you doing to her?"

The doctor just repeated himself, "The patient was under treatment now and then she would have to go in rehab."

"How did it happen? My Tina would never touch any drug!" With this said, Bess burst in tears and let herself fell down on the floor.

"This..." The doctor pointed at Emily and said, "This lady brought the patient to the hospital. You can ask her what happened exactly."

Everyone turned to Emily, anxious to have some answers.

Emily gathered her thoughts and told them the whole story. When she finished, a moment of silence followed.

Debby was the first one taking the word, "Emily, are you seriously saying that Tina was going to drug you, but she injected that crap in her arm by mistake?"
