Jena, the nurse, was confused. Looking at her friend, she asked, Do you know him?Ah, I don’t, she said, but then quickly added, However, that’s for what I am here. Her gaze shifted briefly to look at Delyth, pressing the same excited smile with which she had earlier entered the room.What are you saying, Lucy? As far as I know, we don’t have any Dr. Clark here.Lucy grinned and pulled a brochure out of her pocket. True we don’t have him here, but we will soon. He is cWe don’t have him here, but soon he will be coming and we will get to see and meet him, Lucy said before pulling out a brochure from her pocket. Here, see this. He is Jason Clark, the legendary one in the field of medicine. He is said to be the youngest doctor to excel in two branches of medicine —orthopedics and neurosurgery. He had travelled all over the world, performing surgeries that others deemed impossible. Our hospital has invited him and he has finally accepted the request.Jena was about to take the brochure to check, but before she could, Delyth grabbed it off Lucy’s hands.Miss, you can’t take it like that, Lucy frowned, not understanding the woman’s behavior. This is our hospital’s internal conference and any outsiders are not allowed, including the patients. Saying that, she was about to take back the brochure, but Jena, the former nurse stopped her.Then she turned to Delyth and said softly. Ms. Ember, I know you are anxious about your surgery but trust me, you are in the safe hands of Dr. Walter. He will help you. And, as for Dr. Clark, even if he is visiting our hospital, he will be here just for a conference. We can’t reach him out and request you. It will be against our hospital policies and also beyond our powers. She then stepped forward and took the brochure off her hands.Delyth glanced at her, ready to make a request, but the nurse didn’t give her a chance. Handing the brochure back to her friend, she said, Ms. Ember, I was initially here for your medicines. she peeled the tablets out and handed them to her before giving her the glass of water. Please have it. As you can see, I need to be somewhere else too.Delyth didn’t say anything anymore. Acting all quiet, she just took the medicines and swallowed them down. Thank you, she muttered, her voice barely above the whisper.When the nurse saw her like that, she felt sympathy but there was truly nothing she could do. Hence not saying more, she decided to leave. Okay, Ms. Ember, you can rest now. We will leave first. If you need anything, you can ring the bell.With that, the two nurses turned to leave. Walking to the door, they were about to step out when Lucy turned to look at Delyth once. She looked pitiful which made her ask Jena. Hey, what’s wrong with her?Shh … Jena shushed her quickly and grabbing her hand pulled her out so that their voice remained just to them. She is the patient I was talking about. Dr. Walter came here for her and her surgery is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. She was just a little anxious. She is a dancer but even after the surgery, she won’t be able to dance. So, she is kind of sympathetic. She wanted to dance again.Weird, Lucu said. I didn’t feel she was pitiful, instead she looked malicious. Her gaze just now at Dr. Clark was so weird as if she was ready to threaten him for something.What are talking about? Jena said in a chiding tone. She just wanted Dr. Clark to treat her legs. Maybe because he treated someone she knew and recovery was good, so —Bullshit! Lucy interrupted. Do you think Dr. Clark will perform any surgery like that? I heard getting his appointment is really difficult. Not everyone can reach him. He comes from the legendary Clark family, the one whose every generation is known to be famous in the field of medicine.Jena nodded. I understand. But you know patients do get anxious about something. Being the nurses, we can’t act harshly with them. And anyway, didn’t you see, she understood.Lucy wasn’t convinced. I don’t think so. I just felt …weird around her. But anyway, if it’s what you are saying then it’s good. She then paused and turned with the previous excitement By the way did you even see his picture on the brochure? He is so so handsome. I don’t know how are we going to survive his looks tomorrow.Jena chuckled, shaking her head at Lucy’s sudden excitement as they walked away. Don’t worry we will take our time to treat our eyes with the supreme looks.While back in the room, just after the two nurses left, the expression shifted back to the dark shade —one that was full of pure evilness. Ryan, why are you so biased towards Arwen? If you wanted to abandon me, shouldn’t at least have tried to abandon me with some dignity. Or do you just want to satisfy Arwen by making her trample on me?Her fingers curled in a fist as she shook her head with determination clear in her gaze. No, I won’t let you do that. I won’t let you decide things for me according to your advantage. I won’t let you make any amends that will guide you back to Arwen. If I can’t have you, I won’t let Arwen have you as well. Her gaze then darted to her legs. Reaching, she gripped tight, but no matter how hard she pressed, she felt nothing. Her legs felt like they weren’t there. And about my legs, they will be getting back as before. If Arwen could help her legs and dance again. So can I? I won’t fall back in front of her. Never.
