Frank was removed from the medical trolley, and he was placed on the orthopedic position table and all the equipment that would be needed were placed on the surgical table.
The equipment like defibrillators, oxygen concentrators, sterilizer machine, suction machine, anesthesia machine, operation table, and light were at their disposal to ensure that the surgical procedures to be performed on Frank Hawking are conducted safely. They know who Frank was and that's why Dr. Alik decide for operation without following any procedure required for a patient to be taken to theater.
Both Dr. Alik and Dr. Maya walked into the changing room to put on safety boots and attires before walking in the theater.
"Dr. Alik, are you using anesthesia on him? He had passed out," Dr. Maya inquired.
"I had to, but it won't be that strong, beside the operation will take one hour or forty-five minutes," Dr. Alik replied.
Maya sighed as she followed him to the teacher, she was the one going to be handing him the equipment needed.
Audrey went to the balcony and called the Hawking. She informed them that Frank has been brought to the hospital, and he was not doing well, withing ten minutes, two black jeeps pulled over in the hospital parking lot. Everything in the hospital come to a stand still as the Hawking drew their attention as they walked into the hospital.
Audrey walked out of the building hurriedly to meet them at the reception.
"Good day Aunt, good day Uncle," Audrey greeted them.
"Oh Audrey you called us, what's wrong with Frank you said he is in a crucial condition," Mrs. Hawking stated.
"Yes, Aunt, I just found out that Frank was bitten by a snake…" Audrey replied.
"What? Wh…what do you mean he was bitten by a snake?" Mr. Hawking asked.
"Where is my son? Where is he?" Mrs. Hawking asked, as her chest heaved up and down, and started walking into the hospital.
"He is in theater now," Audrey replied as she followed her to the runway that leads to the theater. Other medical practitioner gawked at them, they all knew who they were, they.
"How did that happen?, my son went for hiking in the morning with his friends. In fact, he came to the logistic company told me he was going for hiking," Mr. Hawking said as he walked in the hallway with Audrey and his wife.
"Uncle, you let him go alone for hiking? You could have asked me to accompany him," Audrey said.
"No, I didn't intend to disturb your schedule and besides he was in the company of Teddy, Warren, and Marcus. He said it was men's hiking, which I allowed him to go," Mr. Hawking stated.
"I had no idea about that, I thought he was in the company with you. Where did they go for hiking?" Mrs. Hawking asked.
"Ngong forest," Mr. Hawking replied.
"What?" Both Audrey and Mrs. Hawking exclaimed.
They wanted to curse out, but they saw a banner with a sign of silence. They were two rooms away from the theater. Furthermore, they sealed their mouths and tiptoed to the theater.
"Is my son out of theater?" Mr. Hawking asked the doctor who was standing at the door that Lead to the theater.
"No, sir, Ma'am. The operation is still going on. It might take one hour," he replied.
"What is his condition?" Mrs. Hawking asked.
"I can't communicate now, Sir, until the surgical procedure is done. Please, I will advise you to wait in the VIP lounge if you don't mind," he advised with a bow.
Mr. Hawking nodded and took his wife by hand as they walked away from the theater. He knew how the person looks like when he is in the theater. Mr. Hawking wanted to avoid the screamed from his wife, if she had spotted her son laying on the operating table with all the oxygen machines fixed on the nostrils.
Frank Hawking is the only son to Mr. and Mrs. Hawking.
Audrey led the way to the VIP lounge. She had to behave with respect around soon to be in-laws.
Audrey opened the door to the lounge and held the door as the Mr. and Mrs. Hawking walked in.
"Uncle, did you say that Frank went hiking with his friends?" Audrey asked.
"Yeah why? You are so forgetful."
"No, I just want to know if Frank is here, where are his friends. I haven't seen them since Frank was brought in here," Audrey said.
"Are you certain, dear?" Mrs. Hawking asked.
"Yes, I haven't seen them, Aunt," Audrey replied.
Mrs. Hawking passed her husband a glare.
"What?" he murmured.
He fished out his cellphone and dialed a number.
"Who are you calling?" Mrs. Hawking asked.
"I am calling Teddy, he is frank's best friend."
"Hello Teddy, where are you?" Mr. Hawking asked.
"Hello Mr. Hawking, I have been trying to reach you to no success. Frank…frank was bitten by a snake, we just rushed him to Hepburn hospital," Teddy replied.
"Where are you?" Mr. Hawking asked.
"I am in the Hepburn hospital with Warren and Marcus. We had some bruises on our hands and legs. Our wounds are being dressed."
"When you are done, find me in the VIP lounge of the hospital," Mr. Hawking ordered.
"Huh? You are already here? How is Frank? The doctor took him from us," Teddy asked.
"He is in theater," Mr. Hawking replied, then ended the call.
He turned and looked at his wife. "Their wounds are being dressed, they will be here when they are done."
