My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 115

The patient's mother had been asking the same question over and over for the past few minutes. But it was understandable given what had happened. The young lady held her shivering mother in her arms. She felt helpless and pathetic seeing her mother like this.

The doctor that approached them this time looked more experienced than the one before. Why were there two doctors taking care of the patient? Did the situation get worse?

Rachel didn't have time to pay attention to the patient until she was finished with her other patients.

She swung by the ICU to check on the patient before she got off duty. They told her that the patient was in a stable condition now.

Rachel took a look at the medical record and prescription prepared by Kevin. When she spotted something, she furrowed her eyebrows.

As soon as Rachel left the ward, the young lady from earlier had bought some food from outside.

When she saw Rachel, she was a little surprised. "Hello, doctor," said the sweet young lady. She tried to put on a brave smile for Rachel.

Rachel put her hands in her pockets and nodded at her. She looked at the bags that girl was carrying. "Did you go to buy dinner?" ■d

The young lady nodded at Rachel and smiled sheepishly. "Have you eaten yet, doctor?"

"Not yet, I'm about to get off work," said Rachel. "I just checked on your sister, she's going to be fine."

Rachel saw how the young lady's mood changed. She even wept tears of joy. "Thank you so much, doctor!" she said as she wiped away her tears.

"You're welcome. Actually, I'm not her attending doctor."

The woman was confused and asked,

"Then who's my sister's attending doctor?"

"Your sister's attending doctor is Kevin Lin.

You should've met him before," answered Rachel.

"Oh, so he's the one in charge of my sister."

After saying goodbye to the woman, Rachel went back to her office. She decided to go to Kevin when she had time.

She had some problem with some prescribed medicine for the patient, and needed to discuss it with him.

He was the one in charge of the patient after all, not her.

The weather had been getting warmer lately as it was almost summer.

The twilight scenery of the Seaside Bridge was especially beautiful. From the bridge you could see a perfect view of the horizon where the sky and sea met in perfect harmony. The sunset dyed the ■d

heavens with a tinge of red and orange. It was a scenery that you would only see in oil paintings.

The scenery could have been perfect, if only there was no traffic jam, and it looked like it won't ease up anytime soon.

Summer had almost arrived. A cool breeze blew from the sea, and carried with it a faint salty smell that was oddly refreshing.

Jack rolled down his windows and saw a flock of birds gliding above the cars. He heard a woman's voice coming from the car next to his. "It's so beautiful!"

The roof of the car beside Jack's car slowly opened. There was a woman wearing a short top adorned by flowers. Her belly button was exposed. She raised her left hand and kept cheering. Her hair danced freely with the wind.

"Quick! Give me my camera, I want to take a picture of this!" she said to her companions.

Jack looked away. He had no interest in women like her, especially those with hairs dyed with crazy colors.

Jack had been stuck in traffic for half an hour already. He didn't know how much longer it would take until this traffic jam was over. He looked at the time and it was almost time for Rachel to get off work.

Jack decided to send her a message, in case he wouldn't be able to make it in time to pick her up.

But before he could've sent her a message, his phone rang. Rachel was calling him. "Where are you now?" she asked.

"I'm on the Seaside Bridge."

Rachel was a little surprised. "That's still pretty far from here. What happened?"

"I'm stuck in traffic. But the view here is majestic!" Jack glanced and the clouds and thought that Rachel might appreciate it. "Do you want to see it?"

Rachel was a little curious about the "majestic view" that made Jack so calm in a situation that usually pisses him off. "Sure, let's see it," she said as she was fiddling with her pen to distract her from the slow passing of time.

It seemed as though Jack wouldn't be able to make it in time. It would take him a little less than hour to get to the hospital from the Seaside Bridge.

"Hang on," Jack snickered He hung up and began taking pictures.

He tried his best to capture the scenic view where birds could be seen gliding across the horizon. Their silhouettes painted the now orange sky, and the sun had almost set. Jack smiled at the beautiful scenery before him. "Rachel is going to love this," he muttered.

After a while, a message popped up, and a picture appeared on Rachel's phone.

She clicked on the photo and saw what Jack had sent her.

Her eyes widened. She saw the rosy clouds that littered across the orange sky. There were birds roving towards the setting sun. And the sea...it was ■d

nothing short of majestic.

Jack sent her another message. It read, "So, what do you think? I told you it was majestic."

Jack acted like he was showing off a precious gem that he found inside a cave. Rachel could almost imagine his animated expression, and it did not suit him well.

She couldn't hold back herself from bursting into laughter when she read his message.
