TOMKINS HOUSE'S FAMILY HOUSE ATTACKED BY UNKNOWN PEOPLES. LOUISA TOMKINS-THE HERITAGE OF TOMKINS HOUSE BECOME A VICTIM WITH THREE GUESTS OF HER HOUSE. TWO OF THEM DIED WITH SHOT WOUNDS AND ONE MINIMUM WOUNDED.
It's only been an hour since the terrible incident for Louisa happened, and there have been many news headlines that tell about the incident. And right now, Louisa's condition which can still be said is very weak in the hospital. She was still unconscious with bandages covering her head. The doctors and nurses have been trying since then to be able to provide maximum care, especially if there is a possibility that Louisa could experience minor trauma and concussion in the future, even though they all still don't know and are sure about what percentage rate this will happen to Louisa. In addition, the hospital felt overwhelmed by the number of reporters who came and tried to enter and dig up information about Louisa's current situation.
Meanwhile, Louisa is currently in the VVIP room on the fifth floor of the hospital. Which is indeed the fifth floor specifically for the VVIP room which is very rare to be visited by many people, and the quality of care is increasingly guaranteed. Louisa is seen still using oxygen aids, IVs and several other tools that are attached to her body. The atmosphere of the room is very quiet really feels eerie. And there was Uncle George who had been watching and monitoring Louisa's condition since forty-five minutes ago, along with the other doctors and nurses in the inpatient room.
“About when will she wake up? Why didn't she come to her senses as well?” Asked Mr. George for the umpteenth time to the thirty-six year old male doctor named Zack at this time.
"Mr. George, we're still evaluating it. It would be very difficult to be certain, moreover the head wound from being hit by a blunt object and the amount of smoke that Miss Louisa inhaled really affected her current consciousness. But there is a possibility that Miss Louisa will wake up in a few hours or tomorrow, and even then we must continue to monitor her condition regularly, " Explained Doctor Zack while writing several things regarding Louisa's condition in the file he currently has in his hands.
Mr. George fell silent again and began to shift his gaze to Louisa who was still lying helplessly on the nightstand. The look in his old eyes looked tired and worried. "Okay, Mr. George, I'll excuse myself. My team and I will be back here to check on Louisa's condition in the next thirty minutes. Besides that, the nurses will help Louisa later,” said Doctor Zack as he closed the health data he brought and displayed a thin smile on his lips.
"Thank you very much, Doctor," replied Mr. George with a mumble.
Then after that Doctor Zack stepped both feet away from Louisa's inpatient room there, leaving Mr. George was keeping Louisa there. Mr. George stepped slowly closer to the chair that was right next to Louisa's nightstand, and sat there. Mr. George seemed to be breathing slowly. "I'll take care of you, Louisa. So hurry up and wake up," muttered Mr. George with his right palm stretched out to gently pat Louisa's left palm there.

Louisa furrowed her brows in a slow motion and instantly regretted doing so, especially because of the pain that directly assaulted her. Her eyelids opened slowly and blinked several times due to the glare from the light directly above her. Louisa raised her right hand and realized that her right palm had an IV tube attached to it, then Louisa slowly lowered her hand again. She remained silent and began to look around her.
“Miss Louisa, how are you feeling right now? Do you have any complaints?” asked Doctor Zack who was beside her suddenly.
Louisa herself was a little surprised because Doctor Zack's voice was suddenly there. Then Louisa slowly took a deep breath, what's more, there was still an oxygen device attached. “I feel so weird… my head hurts and I feel dizzy. My breath also felt heavy and congested. What happened??” Louisa mumbled explaining with a frown on her forehead and her eyelids were slowly opening and closing several times.
“You were injured in the head from a blunt object and besides that you inhaled smoke which was quite dangerous. The smoke can make you feel sluggish and unconscious, but it also has toxins in it. But all that tense atmosphere is over now, you've gone through a critical period and now you're fine. I will call a nurse to be able to help you. In addition, my team and I suggest that you don't work too hard for the next week or two, this is done to be able to restore your condition. Then I'll excuse myself first, "explained Doctor Zack with a faint smile and walked away.
Louisa didn't respond, she just stayed silent with a hard and tense expression on her face. Her eyes began to look dreamy, remembering what happened to her some time ago. She remembered that there was smoke billowing from under her workspace door and the men hitting her hard on the head. Then after that she didn't remember at all. "Shit..." Louisa mumbled with her left palm raised to gently press her head which was still aching there.

Louisa turned her gaze straight to the door of her inpatient room, and saw Mr. George who came with some gifts in his hands. “Louisa, are you awake? Gosh, you really make me feel worried," said Mr. George, who immediately took his two feet with fast steps, approached Louisa's nightstand. And put the gifts in his hands on the sofa.
"Uncle is here?" asked Louisa in a tone that sounded disbelieving.
Mr. George was seen nodding his head in a slow motion. "Yeah, it's been a while. Since your condition is still very critical. Are you okay now? Has a nurse arrived yet?” asked Mr. George was there in a hurry while looking worried.
"I feel a little better. And yet, no nurses have come here yet. Maybe the nurse will come in a little while… it's just, I'm feeling thirsty right now,” answered Louisa explaining with her voice that sounded hoarse there.
And without another word, Mr. George immediately got up from his seat and helped Louisa to sit while taking a glass of mineral water. Meanwhile, Louisa slowly lowered the oxygen aid a bit to be able to drink. Mr. George carefully and slowly helped Louisa to drink. Soon, after feeling her thirst had disappeared, Louisa put the oxygen back on again. And followed by Mr. George who put the glass back on the small table beside the nightstand and helped Louisa to lie back down.
After successfully lying back on the nightstand, Louisa managed to hold her breath, which still felt very heavy and congested right there right now. She closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them. “Louisa, I feel really scared that this will happen again. So I thought, I will find a bodyguard to be able to look after and also help you now, "said Mr. George with his stern voice there.
Hearing this, Louisa immediately turned her head towards Mr. George with her eyes look disbelieving, while starting to shake his head a few times. “No… no Uncle. I really don't need a bodyguard. I can take care of myself, I can still find guards to guard the house... and... I don't want any bodyguards to follow me anywhere and anytime. I don't like the idea at all."
"No, Louisa. This is my decision, and you won't be able to refuse it. It was an absolute decision. I've already contacted any bodyguard agency I know, so I can find the right one for you later. And guards? In fact, two of your guards have died and the other has been injured. I'm not sure, if you can take care of yourself, Louisa. And of course you've seen the consequences. What if the same thing happened and you would experience a much worse condition later? I don't want to be bothered, Louisa, so just listen and go along."
Louisa was silent, slightly surprised to learn that two of her guards had died. And she will get a bodyguard, which she never thought she would have before. I don't want to have a bodyguard. Not if I didn't find it myself. But if I remember what happened earlier, I think what Uncle said is true, even though I'm forced to accept the bodyguards who will be around me after this. Moreover, it is Uncle's choice. However, I have to be careful about all these things. Louisa's mind spoke resignedly.
