(Author's POV)
"A cursed child ~ Ill fated ~ A bane," the old lady named Elizabeth Cooper kept on mumbling despite Tucker holding her.
The nurse came inside Tucker's office frantically and panted while saying, "As soon ... *huff* as I was …... *huff* trying to .... give her medicine ... *huff*, she ran off."
"Give me the injection," Tucker said in a reprimanding tone while holding his wife. He was suppressing his anger as well as helplessness.
The nurse gave him the injection, her hands were shaking, which Tucker roughly grabbed and injected his wife.
Slowly but gradually, Elizabeth's foul words reduced as she inhaled and exhaled heavily. Soon, the medicine kicked in and she lost consciousness.
Myra was scared. Her eyes were red and teary by old lady's sudden outburst. It had triggered some of those memories which she wanted to escape. The time she spent in the orphanage. It was like a gruesome cursed in her life, a childhood trauma, which she wanted to cope up with completely.
