Chapter 32
Dinam
On the go, we finally agreed, Muse and I, to go ti the office of the doctor who supports the health of her father. He is a respectable doctor whom I knew when I was still in my clinic. He had been recommended to me by Mr. Hawam and I had nothing to complain about. On the contrary, he is like a mentor to me, giving me noble advices. It is therefore without hesitation that I thought of recruiting him as the Director of my hospital when I finished building it. He does a good job. We arrive in his office where he receives us.
"Doctor, everything is fine. Doctor Euniel is going to donate his blood." Muse hurries to him, looking impatient.
"Is he the same blood type?" The doctor asks looking at me. I nod my head and answer him
"Yes doctor, I am blood type O-."
"Did you get it doctor? So, can we proceed with the blood transfusion now?" Muse intervenes impatiently.
"Be less in a hurry young lady! We are certainly going to take Dr. Euniel's blood from him, however we cannot transfuse it to your father without however carrying out analyzes on this blood." The doctor replies to Muse who seems annoyed by this procedure. So she retorts by wrinkling her face
"But doctor, why all these procedures? Why don't we proceed directly to the blood transfusion? What if my father's condition worsens while you waste time?"
The doctor, still with the same calm air we found, replies to Muse.
"My daughter, having blood tests done before transfusing it to the patient is for the interest of the latter. And all the times that a doctor would like to perform the blood transfusion without having performed tests on the blood will be transfused, stop immediately. Because the blood can have STIs or STDs. These are diseases that are contained in the blood and will be transmitted to the patient if they are not detected first. So you see that instead of to improve the patient's condition, a blood transfusion that is badly done and under the influence of impatience can aggravate the situation of this patient." The doctor explains these health precautions to Muse at length and length, and then she seems to understand.
"Don't worry, your father will be fine. Besides, these analyzes will be done as soon as possible. It's just in case the blood has big irregularities that it can drag on."
"Okay doctor!" Muse responds by becoming calmer. I go to the laboratory where my blood is taken and subjected to analysis. I return later to find Muse sitting anxiously in the doctor's office.
I take her out of the doctor's office and take her to the restaurant.
"I'm not hungry Euniel." She stammers as we enter through the front door of the restaurant. You only have to see her weakened look to realize that she hasn't had anything in her mouth since the morning. So I retort, leaving him no choice but to come and eat.
"I know you're not hungry. But I'm not asking you to eat to satisfy a hunger, But rather to gain strength and give energy to your body. Should I remind you that you are nurse and as such you must have enough strength to watch over your father?"
Seeing that I was right, Muse has no choice but to capitulate and follow me to the restaurant.
"Okay, you're right."
Arrived on the spot, we order to eat. I try to relax Muse as best I can so that she's less sad. I don't like to see her pretty face be broken down, despite going through difficult circumstances. I know that the analyzes will not take long, because I regularly check my health and less than a week, I had to do a general check-up of my health. This is what every normally constituted human being is supposed to do in order to detect possible diseases. Because they say, a healthy man is a sick person who does not know it. I therefore take care of my health, while eating healthy foods so that my body must be healthy. Above all, I don't forget to exercise regularly to maintain my form. After we're done eating, I drive Muse into the doctor's office to ask about the progress of my blood tests and if the blood transfusion can already take place.
So we go to Doctor Maurice's office. Without any form of protocol, Muse grows impatient, hastily questioning him.
"So doctor, who revealed the blood work?"
"You come on time, I just received the results of the blood analysis. Everything is fine, we can proceed with the blood transfusion without further delay." The doctor responds by getting up from his seat.
"Wait in the waiting room, your is in good hands. All you can do is just pray." The doctor continues to say while leaving his office. Muse and I follow behind.
I take Muse to the waiting room. She is very worried and I understand her well. Luckily I stayed with her poor thing! She told me that her mother and her sister came back to come back later. Although the doctor had also asked her to go home to rest and come back, Muse did not want to leave the hospital.
"So, have you been able to see your father since he's been admitted here?" I ask him once we've taken our seats in the waiting room.
"No, he's in a coma according to what the doctor told me."
"You'll see, he'll be fine!" I tell him in a reassuring tone.
"Thank you Euniel! But you'd better go take care of your patients. You've already spent half the day by my side. You can leave, I'll manage on my own."
"No young lady, there's no way I'm leaving you alone in your condition. Anyway, I only had two patients to follow all day. It doesn't matter that I see them later Anyway, I've already texted my secretary to postpone all my psychology sessions for the day."
"What about your fiancée then? She'll be jealous, and what's more, you asked her to wait for you in your office." Muse replica.
"Don't worry about her, she will surely understand."
Since I came in the morning, I immediately understood that Muse would need me. So I had asked my secretary to postpone all my appointments and all my meetings for that day for tomorrow. I'm not going to lie, seeing Muse so sad and affected by her father's condition breaks my heart a lot. That's why I don't want to leave her alone. Falling on her this morning had one of those effects on me. I was dying to hold her in my arms, to wipe away all those tears that beaded her delicate cheeks. She became even more beautiful. I can notice that she has grown in maturity, by her look and her demeanor. She is no longer the frightened and traumatized little girl of yesteryear. However, time has in no way diminished its beauty. On the contrary, she has become even more beautiful and elegant, both in her gestures and in her way of speaking. Looks like a woman born into the upper class.
After two hours of waiting without any news from Mr. Hawam, the doctor finally comes to us. Muse and I instinctively get up at the same time.
"So Doctor..." We speak in unison.
"Everything went very well." Answers the doctor smiling. I hear Muse sigh in relief and her face lights up like a light that has just been turned on. That smile my God! I'm just glued to his face, like a doe being swept away by streams of water. As if the whole room had been then only in darkness, this smile has the effect of the light which shines in the darkness. I can no longer detach myself from his lips. How I missed that girl then, whose smile makes me lose my head. I was in awe, carried body, soul and spirit to Muse, when I heard the doctor's voice bring me back to earth.
"Doctor Euniel, I need to talk to you." He tells me in a deep voice.
"Me? Here now?" I respond looking surprised.
"Yes my boy." He replies with the same seriousness in his voice.
"And me doctor, can I go and see how my father is doing?" Muse intervenes while I'm wondering what the doctor wants to talk to me about.
"Yes young lady, he has just been installed in a room. You can see that he asked after you when he woke up."
Muse rushes to see her father, so I follow Doctor Maurice in his office. We walk along in silence the will that leads to his office. Once installed in his office, Doctor Maurice asks me, taking a very serious look
"Are you related to Mr. Hawam?"
