New Phase 6
After Mr. Louis Bailey declined his invitation to join him at the training that morning, he made up his mind to check on him after the training. When he got to Louis’s door, the security man informed him that he had visitors.
“May I know who the visitors are?”
The doctor who knew that he was not the outgoing type asked as he looked around and saw Mr. Field's car which he was not familiar with. Then, the chef, who was hanging around after Louis asked him to leave, informed.
“One of them is his brother.”
The understanding that Louis and his brother were under the same roof made him to push the door open and got in. He was expecting to see a battlefield, but he was dumbstruck with what he saw. Denise, who recognized him, greeted with a burdened heart.
“Hello Dr. Quain. I am happy that you are here.”
The doctor walked hastily to them while responding to his greeting.
“Hello, Mr. Bailey. I am pleased to see you.”
Now, Mr. Fields had taken his seat, while Louis looked up from Denise chest to see the doctor. He tried to release himself from Denise when the doctor got closer. Then, Denise allowed him as he looked at the doctor with a scary face.
“What is the matter with you, Mr. Bailey?”
Denise, who had returned to his seat, and Mr. Fields looked at Mr. Louis Bailey to hear his response. But he smiled dryly and said.
“Nothing. I’m alright.”
The doctor examined him critically and noticed fingerprints on his cheek and looked at Mr. Denise Bailey, whose look showed that he was responsible for the fingerprints. He looked back at Mr. Louis Bailey and asked.
“Are you sure you are alright?”
“I am all right, doctor. Can we move over to the dining table for breakfast?”
Meanwhile, the doctor took his seat and Denise introduced.
“Dr. Quain, meet Mr. Nicholas Fields, a movie Director and Producer and my Godfather.”
The doctor gave him a second look and remarked as he stretched out his right hand to him for a handshake.
“I may miss the look, but I cannot miss the name. Nice to meet you, Mr. Fields. You are doing great in the entertainment industry.”
“It is my pleasure, Dr. Quain.”
Mr. Denise Bailey proceeded with the introduction.
“Godfather, Dr. Quain, is the Medical Director of our Sevenoaks Branch.”
“It is a pleasure meeting you, doctor.”
Now, Denise stood up and announced.
“Gentlemen, let’s move to the dining table before the meal gets cold.”
They stood up and began to move to the dining table, while Denise waited for Louis to get up, and he followed behind. He sat beside him and served him his meal before he served himself. Dr. Quain had never been perplexed as he was that day in his life. He served himself, and they ate silently while Denise kept observing Louis, who was picking his food and urged.
“Eat, you need it.”
Louis, who had not said any word to him since he, came obeyed and continued with his meal. The doctor, who was not starving, busied himself with his cup of tea and watched the brotherly love that Denise was showing his brother.
‘But why the fingerprints on his cheeks? Was there a fight?’
The doctor wondered as he sat quietly and observed them. Then Denise turned to the doctor and asked.
“Dr. Quain. Do you think I should take him along with me?”
The doctor, who did not have to think twice to get the response, replied.
“No. Mr. Bailey. I don’t think it's necessary.”
He looked at his brother and then looked at the doctor and said.
“If you think so, doctor. Please take care of him. If there is anything that needs my attention, please, do let me know.”
“It is all right. He will be fine.”
Now, Mr. Louis Bailey, who could not comprehend the degree of love which his family members had for him, spoke to him for the first time.
“I am sorry, big brother. I wronged you. Please bear with me.”
Mr. Denise Bailey looked at his innocent face and teased.
“Who would not bear with a last born?”
They laughed and Louis laughed too. They continued to eat their food while Denise added more
Food to his plate. Louis looked at the food and revolted.
“It is too much.”
“I know. But you need it. You have emaciated too much.”
He ate as much as he could and pushed the plate aside.
“Thank you, big brother. I am done.”
“You have tried.”
Thereafter, Denise dragged the plate of food to himself and emptied it. Now, Mr. Fields and Dr. Quain were done with their meal, too. Then, Mr. Louis Bailey’s phone rang, which attracted the attention of others, and they looked in his direction. He peeped at his phone, picked it and informed Denise who was looking at him.
“It is Father.”
Now, Dr. Quain and Mr. Fields got off the dining table and returned to the parlor, leaving the siblings behind. Louis spoke and Denise waited eagerly to speak with his parents.
“Hello, father. I am delighted to hear from you again.”
“How are you, Louis?”
“I’m fine, dad. How is mom?”
“Your mom is fine. I hope you are good?”
“Yes, father. I have a full house.”
He looked at Denise, who was smiling happily.
“When did you start making friends that attracted many people to your house?”
“Not so, father. Denise and Mr. Fields came in this morning and Dr. Quain is around too.”
Mr. Arthur Bailey could not express how he felt. His first question came out of fear, as the discussion he had with Dr. Quain a few days ago hit him like a tornado.
“I hope there is no problem?”
“Not at all. Speak with Denise.”
“Hi. Father. How are you?”
“Denise, is anything the matter?”
“No problem, father. We came to check on him.”
“Wow! That is very thoughtful of you. How is your wife?”
“My wife is fine. How is mom?”
“Your mom is fine. Speak with her.”
“Denise, thank you for checking on your brother.”
“You are welcome, mom. How are you?”
“I am fine. Let me speak with Louis.”
“All right mom.”
After the phone conversation, they joined Dr. Quain and Mr. Fields, who were chatting heartily.
“Thank you for the meal, Louis.”
Mr. Fields and Dr. Quain appreciated.
“You are welcome. Thank you for honoring me with your presence.”
Then, Mr. Fields looked at him and expressed his happiness over his mood.
“I am glad that you have regained your happiness. Keep it up and remember that your family is everything.”
“I appreciate, Mr. Fields. I will always remember your advice.”
Denise looked at him and announced as he set to stand up.
“I have noticed that you are all right. We will be on our way.”
Now, he stood up and Mr. Fields stood, too. Louis stood up too and gave Denise a hug before he proceeded to give Mr. Fields a hug too.
“I appreciate your visit.”
Denise and Mr. Fields gave Dr. Quain a hug simultaneously before they walked to the garage. Mr. Fields got into the car while Denise gave Louis a parting look, and he initiated another hug. When he released him, Louis looked into his eyes and assured him.
“Thank you for your love. I will keep in touch.”
“It is all right. Take good care of yourself. Dr. Quain, do not hesitate to give me a call if there is any issue.”
“You can count on me.”
“All right. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Now, Denise joined Mr. Fields in the car, and they drove off. They returned to the parlor after they left. Nevertheless, Dr. Quain, who could not take his eyes off Mr. Louis Bailey, took his seat on the couch and Louis did the same. He waited for him to say something, but he was mute. Incidentally, the intimacy he shared with the doctor had developed into a relationship that was beyond staff and boss, or doctor and patient relationship. He was beginning to see him as a son or brother.
“Who hit your cheeks?”
Dr. Quain asked bluntly when he waited for him to speak, and he kept mute.
“My brother.”
He responded. Dr. Quain could not help but laugh, and Louis chuckled. He could not imagine that the no-nonsense young Chief Executive Officer could accept such treatment from anyone. He went further to ask.
“What was his reason for doing that?”
“He said I disappointed him on his wedding day and instead of apologizing, I behaved as though nothing happened and when he gave me a call, I ignored it.”
“Did you ignore his call?”
“Yes.”
“That is bad. Why did you not hit him back?”
“If I hit him back, he will hit me again.”
Now, the two of them were laughing heartily, and the doctor was relieved of the stress he experienced when he got to know that Mr. Denise Bailey was in his house. Then, he asked.
