78 Chapter 78: Triplets little adventure (1/2)
In the hospital lobby.
The triplets crawled their way inside while their eyes were on alert looking at the nurses and guards around.
Thankfully, the lobby doesn't have any patient while the guards and nurses are busy running back and forth.
They hide behind the chairs and waited for the elevator to open, but the three elevators are not opening.
Alexa's patience is running out, she turned to Ethan and whistle to get his attention, when the boy looked at her, she pointed a finger to the direction of the fire exit and parted her lips to speak silently.
”We should take the fire exit”she muttered silently but their distance was being blocked by Leo which made it hard for Ethan to read her lips.
”I don't understand you,” Ethan said back silently.
Alexa wrinkled her face and took a pen and a paper from her pink sling bag and wrote;
”FIRE EXIT”
When the two boys read it. They looked at the fire exit and nodded.
Ethan and Alexa peep their head to look at the guards while Leo was staring at the beautiful nurse sitting behind the reception area.
Alexa flattened her face when she finds out the Leo was not concentrating, she crawled to his direction and pinched his arm.
”Concentrate” then she pushed his body to follow Ethan.
They were the hospital for one reason, and that is to visit their uncle Ken.
When they closed the fire exit door the three cheered and ran upstairs.
”Ethan, where's Uncle Ken's room?” Alexa asked while catching her breath. They have reached the third floor and she's already tired.
”It's on the seventh floor” Ethan replied and removed the sweat from his glass.
Alexa put a hand on her chest and bent her body, she wiped her sweat and turned to her brothers with teary eyes.
”Can you carry me? I can't walk anymore” she spoke in between her breathing.
The two boys paled, there are still four more floors left and if they will carry Alexa it will slow them down and probably kill them.
”Leo carry Lexi”Ethan ordered in an authoritative tone.
Leo scratches his head and crinkled his nose in protest.
”Can't you do it?” he asked.
Ethan cleared his throat and put both hands on his hips.
”I am the oldest here, you need to listen to me” he made his voice deep to show his authority.
Leo stomped his feet but squatted on the floor. When Alexa wrapped her hand around his neck, he got up and balanced his body.
Leo grunted in every step he made while sweat stream down on his face like a river.
When they reached the fifth floor, Leo slumped his body on the floor and hastily remove Alexa hand around his neck.
”Can you walk now? I will die if I continue” he spoke in between his breathing.
Alexa nodded and helped clean Leo's pants after the dust stick on it.
”Ok, two more floors” Ethan spoke in a cheered voice.
The three giggled and continue with their journey.
When they reached the seventh floor. Their faces went poker. The whole floor was cold and dark, Alexa wrapped both of her hands to her brother's arm while her skin crawled.
”Wait. What is this place?” Alexa spoke in a shivering voice.
”Wait let me check one of the rooms” Ethan removed Alexa's hand and entered one of the room.When he came out, the two noticed his face, it was whiter than the sheet of paper.
”What happened? Is uncle Ken inside?” Leo asked.
Ethan looked at them with terror in his eyes.
