Once the last piece of food was platted gathering up and placing them on a serving tray. The sound of vibrating noise disturbed her and she noticed a message from Warren it was short and to the point that it was clear to end it.
"We just need to make sure everything follows through. I know you're not liking this as much as I am because in the past the souls we collected weren't that deeply involved with,"
Randolph said staring directly into the doctor's eyes. It was then Mandy had appeared. Max had moved away from Randolph's side and sat up in the chair as she placed the meal in front of them both before sitting down.
"I just can't deal with this whole pandemic, being stuck indoors just to protect my dying husband's life I feel like a prisoner here,"
Mandy grabbed the napkin and dabbed her eyes. She hoped her make up hadn't been smudged.
"Mandy everyone is in the same position until there is a cure or a vaccine that can do something. We can't do much then try to save who we can, a lot of people going to die sadly. Just protect yourself and Randolph''
Max looked at the meal in front of him feeling his stomach grumbling. At the same time the emotions felt in the room were weighing on him; he saw too many people die in his time as a doctor. A lot of the time nothing could be done about it at all. It felt like a burden to him, a weight he has to try to let go of. He was no miracle maker. Randolph was still his mind elsewhere.
"I'll take my payment and leave. You take it easy Randolph,"
Maxence said flatly though Randolph stared at him, he planned to abruptly leave though he reached out and grabbed Maxence hand and held it in his.
Randolph looked at him cradling his hand which made Maxence feel something stir inside himself. Randolph placed Maxence's hand against his lips and kissed his fingers. What came next had somehow calmed the doctor down.
"I honestly don't get how you're such a pillar of strength in these trying times, I'm grateful you take care of Randolph the best you can, though I question your methods doctor,"
Mandy's emphasis on the last words did strike Max hard; it made him feel unsettled clearly and was sarcastic.
Randolph also noticed how his wife's tone has changed, it was clear something wasn't quite right now. This wasn't a pleasant dinner conversation anymore.
"My methods... what do you mean? I do my job well, you don't understand what I have to deal with every single day. Long hours of delivering news to loved ones about their sick or dying family members. I rarely get a chance to take a break and relax,"
Max's eyes narrowed behind his spectacles which were dewy from the rain he came in from.
He proceeded to take them off and give them a quick wipe hoping to make his visionless obscure. Max's dark brown curly locks hung limp and dripped a little onto his jacket. Randolph gazed at them like they were the most beautiful thing in the room.
