Previously on Hamerton; Natalie confronts Paula in the bathroom and their rough encounter leads to collateral damage. Mrs. Bradley is through with interrogation with the police, due to the death of Simon and she feels bad because Natalie kept her in the dark concerning her experience with Simon.

Continue;

Ingrid sat on a waiting bench with Cheryl and Fred, the next morning at 6am. They waited anxiously for Natalie to be discharged and hear news about Paula.

They were both admitted in the school clinic and Natalie had minor injuries compared to Paula.

Ingrid rose when she saw Natalie appearing from the corridor leading to the waiting room.

Natalie limped on one foot and groped on the wall for support. Before Ingrid walked forward, nurse May, who was at the receptionist’s desk, dashed to Natalie to receive her.

“Are you doing alright?” The nurse asked.

“I will be fine.” Natalie replied shortly. She could not get over what she may have done to Paula.

“Natalie.” Ingrid called, approaching them.

The nurse parted from them and Ingrid hugged her friend. “I was so worried.”

Natalie hugged Ingrid back, strongly. She needed the support of a friend so much.

Ingrid drew back and checked her friend. “How are you doing? Are you doing alright? Do you need anything?”

“Yes.” Natalie replied. “I want to know if Paula’s alive.”

Ingrid frowned. “What? After what she did to you?”

“Ingrid, nothing is deserving the loss of someone’s life. Please, tell me how Paula is.”

“Natalie?”

Natalie looked behind Ingrid and noticed Cheryl and her camera man for the first time. She smiled at them. “Hi.”

“Sorry for what happened to you.” Cheryl added on behalf of her and Fred.

“Thank you Cheryl. Now, can anyone tell me what happened to Paula?” She asked before a new group of the St. Ann Marie students entered the clinic from the open swing doors in front of them.

 Lucie, who also escaped prison, led the group and frowned when she saw Natalie. “You! You are a murder! How could you do that to my friend?” she growled.

Natalie gulped. Paula died?? She took in a deep breath and told Lucie. “I had no intention of killing your friend. She came to the bathroom to attack me.” She defended herself.

Lucy’s face folded with rage. “You are a liar!” she shouted.

“Okay. Stop it! All of you.” Nurse May ordered, standing behind the reception desk. “Nobody’s dead, alright?”

Natalie sighed with relief.

“But, still. She deserves to be jailed for trying to kill her.” Lucie insisted.

Ingrid stepped in front of Natalie, getting mad at Lucie. “Don’t you even feel ashamed of yourself when you say that? Everybody knows how you and Paula, murdered Natalie’s friend in Berlin during the international competitions. Natalie wasn't bold enough to be witness to the hearing against you but, if it wasn't for that, you two would be rotting in prison for what you did.”

Lucie was silent, biting her lower lip in anger.

Just then Dr. Gamaliel arrived the waiting room from the corridor and greeted with amazement, the fisty atmosphere.

Natalie turned to him. “Doctor, how is Paula doing?”

“So, now you are acting like you care.” Lucie reckoned rudely.

The doctor glanced at Lucie and looked back at Natalie. “She is out of danger.” He begun and Natalie sighed with relief. “For now.” He added, breaking Natalie’s spirit.

“What is going to happen to her doctor? She hit her head pretty bad.” Lucie asked.

The doctor turned to her. “She has to be transferred to a referral hospital in London. I will talk to Madam Sue now.”

“Amh, can we get coverage on what happened, doctor?” Cheryl asked, as Fred raised the camera he had, recording the doctor.

The doctor took a moment to decide then replied. “Okay. Wait here till I get back from the director’s office.”

“Can we see her?” Lucie asked on behalf of her friends who escorted her.

“Yes of course but, one by one.” He agreed and turned to the nurse. “Nurse May, please escort her to emergency ward.

“Yes doctor.” The nurse said and requested the French girls to follow her.

The doctor left and Cheryl and her camera man turned to Natalie.

“Natalie, can we interview you?” Cheryl asked.

“I am so tired Cheryl.” Natalie whined. She was in no mood of publicity.

“But, Natalie? You are the President and a lot has been going on around campus since yesterday. Everybody thinks that you tried to get back at Paula for the murder of your friend by killing her.” Cheryl informed.

Natalie’s mouth dropped open with shock. “But, I never meant to harm her. She hit me with a heavy pipe. She was going to render me cripple if I hadn't tried anything. I don’t know what else I could have done to defend myself.”

“So, you pushed her to the sink.” Cheryl concluded.

Natalie frowned. “No! How can you say that? I didn't push her.” She cried feeling indignant. “I tried to keep her from hitting me. She hit her head on the sink. That’s what happened.”

Fred directed the camera toward Natalie. “That’s what Hamerton needs to know.” 

What happened next? Stay tuned to find out!
