Chapter 40

"Verine, is that you?" Mikaela's smiling face opened up to me, as soon as I entered the hospital. I noticed her skin. Is he black? It used to be white e. Maybe he went to the beach like this.
Smiled at her. "Michael, Hi!" I bet on him.
"We're beautiful ah!" he praised me.
He can "us" Just me!
Damn! You're boastful Verine! I'm just really telling the truth. I take better care of my skin now. Of course, I can't be a dermatologist and I have pimples and scars.
No one believes in my ability! Maybe I'll even question if you're a real doctor when you do that. I have to beautify myself before others so that they know I'm good at derma!
I surveyed the lobby of the hospital. Everything is still the same except from the new equipment and things around here. I miss it here. I barely walked a bit, just right to get a glimpse of doc bulge’s office.
"Dad checked you up?" its question.
I shook my head then smiled. His office is closed as before, maybe someone is talking inside? Is he now a new assistant?
Does he already have a girlfriend?
I can't imagine that another woman will be given a vibrator and dildo. Just thinking about it makes me sick, I don't want him to do that to someone other than me, I don't want him to kiss anyone, but me.
Damn it! Why am I thinking of him?
Probably!
You're boring!
"You've been gone for a while, ah, how are you? We were shocked to learn that you left. We really have no idea why and where you went," he said.
"I'm okay... Because it happened suddenly so I couldn't say goodbye." I replied.
"Oh no! It was rumored before that the doc was angry with you because you used him to be your chosen assistant, so you were fired. Then add that he saw you kissing a few days before you left. Of course I don't believe he was used. you doc ​​because I know you! Then the doc won't let me use it ... He's handsome! Clever too! "
Damn!
Why did the news spread like that when I left? I used doc ?! Who has no common sense to spread that ?! The news is wrong! Also taken! I live quietly in ilocos, I didn't even know that was how the news spread then!
"Unless you're like Kendall Jenner, doc might actually use it!" she added.
Damn!
I’m prettier than Mikaela but Kendall Jenner is prettier than me!
Somehow Mikaela also has a point to this. I backed away when it suddenly approached me. "I'm not into gossip, Verine, but what's the feeling of doc's kiss? It's like you're in heaven right away?" My cheek got hot.
Damn you Mikaela, what a question!
A smile spread across her mouth. It's not a smile anymore because it's a smile. "Hey! Blushing!" She teased.
Who wouldn't blush at his question ?! Lintek naman oh!
I just bowed in shame. "Come on, don't be ashamed of me! It's like I wasn't there when Malton gave you a flower!" she chuckled.
Damn! It seems that where else this conversation will go, the past can even be traced. I turned my wrist watch.
"Uh... Mikaela I'll be the first. It's nice to talk to you again." A goodbye, I smiled sparingly then walked towards my destination.
I'm sure Mikaela is not the only one I will see or meet here, this hospital is famous so all doctors or nurses in the Philippines here want to work.
The world is big and there is little chance that you will see something unexpected. Case in point, the world is small to someone like me who wants to avoid something.
Especially now, I came back here unaware that there was such chismis spreading about me.
Why is it that my head doctor is also suddenly, why can't he reassign me here? I haven’t even been there for over two months.
I was even gaining experience in a public hospital so that I could develop my skills and then I was immediately transferred to a private hospital.
I didn't say I can't hone this but because … Damn it! With so many private hospitals here!
'All right Verine, you're still good at assuming you don't want to come back here. You didn't want to, you immediately peeked at doc umbok's office! ' My brain promises.
Damn it, another one of my thoughts!
"Only Verine, Nurse and doctor can go to that place!" he shouted causing me to turn around.
A smile form on my lips. "I'm the new doctor from ilocos. My head doctor reassigned me here."
Her eyes widened, her mouth also slightly open. My smile widened even more when I saw his reaction.
Shocked ah. Isn't it obvious I can be a doctor? Even though I'm not as smart as others, I can do it. You see now and I'm a doctor.
She skips her way towards me. "Oh my god! Why didn't you tell me right away?" Most likely, you can afford chinika earlier.
"Uh..."
"Awful! That's why you're different, you used to be a doc's assistant, you were just doing ojt here, I was still ordering you before. You see, you're a doctor! I'm still a nurse!" He said laughing, staring at me. Based on the way he looked, he still couldn't believe it.
"Are you the dermatologist?" he asked. I nodded.
"Why, it's your thing! It's beautiful! You're fresh!" he then touched my cheek.
He didn't hold on for long. He gently slapped my shoulder. "Oh no! You and doc are the same thing now! You're both doctors! #Powercouple!" my cheeks warmed up again. Lintek naman! I'm glad he said that. I just laughed at that.
The smile on my lips slowly fades away when I saw the familiar bulge that I know.
He is walking cooly through the hallway, the sight of him passing through the hallway is the best scene that you can watch not until someone behind his back show and snake her hand around his arms. It's like his not shock of that sudden movement of her. He is unbothered, while she is smiling to him from ear to ear.
They quickly disappeared from my sight as I turned around. My chest suddenly tightened, my heart was also heating up. I can’t understand how it feels. Will I be angry? Annoying? Who will I be angry with? To doc bulge or to that woman? Then why should I be angry?
'Probably, because he's taking yours!' my brain promises.
Did he really become mine?
"Tsk." and Michael. I think it stayed in the place where they turned.
He is still handsome to this day! It's just more mature, even in the distance I can see his bulge!
He didn't notice that I was here, because the place was a bit far from where I was. And that woman! The thickness of the face! Are they that woman ?!
Damn! Why did I forget that that woman really wanted him back then!
What he said then automatically entered my mind. "You're beautiful but your brain is empty." your breasts are the flesh! A few years later, his chest still did not change! How, ata's brain is bigger than don!
Damn!
They probably are. That woman is smart, they matter.
"Don't pay attention to what you see, Suecyn is really like that. She's too clingy and sweet to the doc even though both doctors consider her." I turned to him because of what was said.
"I'm sad to know that only five of them have been admitted to the hospital. The rest of you have not been accepted ... If anyone else has treated other nurses badly, you have accepted them!" he said annoyed.
My forehead furrowed at what he said. "Especially Suecyn. She's screaming, crying, the nurse is embarrassed. But when you're in front of the doc, imagine what an angel! The peg can't break a plate!"
"That's really annoying! One day, he shouted at Myla to hit him. He will probably get hit especially since he blocked the road. Marking emergency, Myla is in a hurry because her patient has lost her wrist, she would have gone. and Doc. Diomedes, in case Suecyn doesn't want to fire him even though he apologizes. That's why, the patient died, because it was too late for the doc to arrive... "
I just stood there listening to him. I don’t think that’s the case with Suecyn’s attitude. Yes, I have experienced his contempt for me before but I accept that because he is emotional and he likes doc. I didn't know that even with other people he was like this.
"If Suecyn hadn't just acted like that, she might still be alive! She doesn't look like a doctor if she acted like that!" its neck is already red, as are its forehead and cheeks. It was as if his lungs were going to explode.
"Myla almost lost her job because of her! Alas, if that woman insulted me, she would be able to taste it! I respect her because she has a higher level because she is a doctor but she can't be underestimated! I'm still older than him, so he should be respectful somehow! "She yelled.
I silently looked at him "Good now you're here! There's a nice young doctor!" she chuckled. Mikaela quickly changed her emotions. Recently, he was almost on fire with anger.
"Spread the beauty and goodness in this hospital!" She said while spreading his arms in the air.
"I'm so artistic, then I'm also bad!" I laughed.
But he was right that I was beautiful!
"Yes but it's not like that! It's lacking in breast milk so that's it!"
"'All right, doc. I've bothered you todo. Welcome back to Monteclar Hospital!" he smiled promisingly.
I laughed and smiled at him. After talking to another dermatologist here at the hospital I went straight to my own office, I just introduced myself so I was quick. I am the youngest of us all and Courtney and Matias are only two years older than me. Then others are in their 30's or 40's.
I have a large office, unlike before which was small. Time passed quickly, it was already afternoon. I haven't had lunch before. After all, I have nothing to do, I will eat first.
Before I leave the office I first look at my total reflection in the mirror. I adjusted the medical gown. My cellphone vibrated so I took it out of my pocket.
"Verjy!" I quickly shook my head away from the cellphone. Strength of this woman's voice!
"How are you there?!" He shouted from the other line.
"It's okay. It's still the same here, nothing new." my answer. I turned around the office before finally leaving.
"We ?! Shuta, it's a pity I'm not there right now. It's important because I went there hihi," she giggled.
Why laugh at this laugh?
"You're also a doctor so I know you do a lot, so it's okay. Maybe tomorrow you'll be here because you also work here."
I put one hand in my pocket while I held my cellphone to the right.
"I've just been pricked here all morning. Shuta, it's a pity that I was sent here right now. There's no one else to inject. That's why I was called. Isn't there a grand greeting to you there?" tnong niya.
"Gaga! Why have a grand greeting? What, am I the owner of the hospital?" I laughed saying.
"I don't know..." he said.
"If you can't do anything, inject yourself with anesthesia without feeling any pain, so that you will be numb to him!" I hope so.
"If only Verine could, I might have done it before you even thought about it! It's so smooth! I don't know what's wrong with that guy! I'm beautiful but I'm not the type!" even if I don’t face it, I’m sure he’s pissed now.
It's just like Mariah, she said she saw a man staring at her who could read right away. Where did he see? In court, he accompanied his lawyer Tito there.
She just wasn't sure who the man was. He did not ask the name. It also seems to disappear as fast. That was their first and last meeting.
"That's just your job, you haven't done it well yet. Do you know how hard it is to have surgery huh? How hard it is to save a life in the emergency room? That's all thank you--"
My forehead furrowed when I heard the shout not far away. I was close to the hospital lobby. "That's your only job, and you can't even do it well! Do you even know how hard it is to perform a surgery? Do you know how fucking hard I did to save lives? Do you ?!"
The woman's finger was pointed
tall to the old man in front of him. The woman was wearing a medical gown. Her straight hair was exposed in the back.
It's turned away from me so I can't see you.
While the old man looks like he is part of the cleaning management of this hospital because of his blue jumpsuit, he is also holding a mop.
"Hey Verine! Are you listening to what I'm saying?" Mariah on the other line.
"Let's talk later, I'll just have a look," I replied to him.
"M-ma'am, your office is clean. I clean there every day. You can't clean it every hour, because that's what the management doc said." It's as if the old man's neck will break when you bend over.
Many also noticed that scene. There are others who are curious.
I even walked a little to see the woman. "That is your only way to say thank you to a doctor like me for saving millions of lives but you can't even do it! You can't fucking clean my office!" he shouted, that voice familiar.
If the old man could just bend his back so that he could bend down completely, he would do it.
I'm behind it. "So what now? I will do the cleaning myself? What's the use of that, you old fool ?!" he violently took the mop from the old man. Reluctant to give the old case he still got.
"I'm a fucking surgeon! My hands and medical gown should be neat and my office should always be clean! There's a lot of client going in and out of there! Not all of them are rich! There's some dirty and poor client too , like you! I don't even know why they got in here so much as you! "My head heats up, as well as my whole body at what he's saying.
I turned to the person watching. Even the other nurse just stared and did nothing. The guard was just watching. What is this, taping ?! Why didn't anyone take action to stop that scandalous doctor ?!
"Because you're old, you can't do the work here. It's useless!" my ears pricked up at what the woman said. He lifted the iron handle of the mop and was about to strike the old man with the mop.
I was hit hard by the side of the iron handle of the mop. I shook my head, I could feel the pain drawing up my armpit and arm.
I ignored that, I turned around. The old man looked at me. I saw the wet water coming from his eye on his cheek, it was already red. I felt even more annoyed with this doctor. I turned to him.
Damn!
He was just looking at me. He glared at me.
She raised her right eyebrow at me. "Look who's trying to be a hero now?"
"I heard that you transfer here. So it's true huh.But I have no time for you now. Move." he commanded.
He lifted the handle of the mop again. I quickly grabbed the one from him and dropped it on the floor. Stick that to the tiles. His eyes widened at what I did. Even the people were stunned.
"Really huh? Is he you're grandfather? What a loving granddaughter you are!" he said sarcastically.
"He's not doing anything bad to you so why would you hit him ?! You really shouldn't be cleaning the office all the time." I growled at her.
He turned to the old man behind me. "You see that, remember? This woman is the reason why you will be fired ..." her eyes shifted at me. "You gave me a reason to fire that old man!"
I felt the cold and trembling hand of the old man on my arm. "Daughter, I'm fine. Let go of Doc. K-it's really my fault. T-he's right, I should work hard. M-his work is heavier than s-mine. I'm really sorry doc. Don't fire me, I have a grandson to study with! "Begged the old man.
I can't believe this! This old man is begging and asking for patience, it is his fault! He even underestimated!
She smirked at me.
"Lo, you don't have to apologize. You didn't do anything. You just followed your boss's orders," I said.
"Daughter, I don't want to lose my job ..." he almost cried.
"You won't lose your job, lo." I assured him.
I won't let that happen!
"Let's see what your boss will do when I tell him that you didn't do what I told you to. I'm a fucking doctor! You have tiny little job and that is to clean for me, but you can't even do it as a thank you for saving lives of many patient here! "
I turned to Suecyn. "You claim to save lives yet you want to take away his job from him knowing that his life depended on it. You save lives but you want to finish his by firing him. You call yourself a doctor that treats every one. Saves everyone without knowing that you're the reason behind the grief and misery of a family. You are so full of yourself to the point that youre degrading everyone who’s not in the same level as you so you could be superior to them, because of that attitude of yours someone died. ”I pointed out while directly looking at her. I can see the veins on her neck through her fair skin, shes flashing red, fuming mad, I guess.
Her chest is going up and down. I can see through her eyes that she want to freaking kill me now but she can't, because all of the words I said, she knows it's true.
Sometimes we need to tell the truth and slap it to those people who are blind and unaware of their acts. She needs to realize that she's doing it wrong.
"Yes, you save lives as a doctor but as a person, I don't think so... You almost hit him, you should apologize to him but instead he did it even though he didn't do anything wrong. You want him fired so that anyone will be afraid to call you out. Not today, Suecyn, not tomorrow or ever again. ”I assured.
He stared at me intently and then ran away. "Verine!" I turned to the source of that voice.
"You're great! I told you so! You're the only one who can match that with Atityodang Suecyn!" she cheered.
The audience was shocked when a nurse shouted "the show is over!"
I turned to Grandpa, I knew what he was going to say right away so I preceded him. "Lo, you won't be fired from your job, if you'll be patient with that. It's because he didn't eat am when he was a baby, that's why." I said with a smile, as if things were a little easier.
"Suecyn, Sue-suego of the demon!" Mikaela was even angrier.
Damn! That thing! I just laughed at what he said.
It smiled at me. "Thank you, grandson. T-thank you so much!" then kissed me.
The warm hug it gave me. I feel like I'm his own daughter right now and his my parent. A parent that shows how thankful he is for his daughter's existence.
He pulley away from the hug. I gave him a genuine smile. I missed being hit on my side.
Damn! By the way, I was hit by a mop.
"Daughter, you were hit earlier, are you okay?" he asked worriedly. His eyes are looking worried. It's funny how this stranger cares a lot on the hit that I got while my parents really don't care about how I feel. I can't see them worried about me, maybe because the pain is not visible.
"Luckily for your parents, they have a child just like you," he said smiling.
I can't see them worried about me, maybe because the pain is not visible. It's inside me. But all of that is gone now. Im better now. I will not let my past experiences hold me back to who I am today. My body is in pain but my inside is not, I feel so proud, standing up for someone.
I turned to the man looking at us, not far from where we were.
Doctor with big bulge!
My eyes shifted to him. Our eyes met but it didn't last long. He look at the guy beside him, he mouthed something then they both walk towards his office.
My forehead furrowed, who could that be? I've only just seen that, before maybe a patient. But the handsome is not for making patients.
After what happened I went to grandpa gab's boss. He said he understands and he also knows Suecyn, so it's okay. Grandpa gab thanked me again.
I felt my tummy ache. I haven't eaten yet. I left the hospital first, because I want a stitch now, I missed it. We don't have much.
I already bought. I was about to die when the cellphone suddenly vibrated.
Damn it!
I click the answer button without looking at the caller. I already ate the kwek kwek in my mouth.
"Damn you Verjy! You won't believe!" Mariah.
"Okay." I replied. I'm hungry now, Mariah. Haha!
"I saw him! I saw him again!" she screamed.
I was just shaken. It really is this woman! I've been acting because of that man lately. Now he was almost crazy with joy because he saw it. How about talking to him?
