A trip to the hospital

"Yes, I am Hui Yee. What? My sister is involved in an accident and is at the Changi Hospital?" I cried with teardrops streaming down my cheeks.

I also felt a lump in my throat. I recalled how kind my sister, Sin Yee, was towards me. How she gave in to me all the time. I closed all the windows as quickly as I could and rushed out of the house. I did not take my car's key as I did not want to drive in such a state of mind.My face was puffy and swollen from all the crying. I took a cab to the hospital. I pulled out a ten dollar note and passed it to the driver asking him to keep the change.

I took the lift up to the tenth floor and walked to ward twenty-eight. My mind was filled with anxiety. The person who spoke to me about Sin Yee's condition.As soon as I stepped into the ward, I spotted Sin Yee instantly as I recognised the way she was laying down. Fortunately, she was conscious and had mild injury to her arm and leg. I heaved a sigh of relief. I started asking her what had happened to her.

"I was crossing the road when the green man lit up, when a motorcycle ignored my presence and hit me..." Sin Yee answered with an unhappy look on her face.

Just then a policeman walked into the ward towards our direction. I guessed that he wanted to take statements. I was indeed right. He asked Sin Yee several questions .

When the policeman was about to leave, I noticed that there were many people in the ward. Many had broken their arms and legs. Some of them looked like they are recovering. I also saw a doctor attending to a patient. I realised that I was so concerned about my sister that I was not aware of the surroundings. At that moment the police bade us goodbye.

Three hours later, at five o'clock, I bade goodbye to my sister and left the hospital . I felt relieved and kept on thanking God that that accident did not cause a life to be lost. My eyes were not puffy or sore anymore. I vowed that I will be careful in whatever I do. I definitely do not want to hit someone while driving.
