Impervious Treasure (Azcona Cousins #2)

Chapter 40

This is the last chapter of Impervious Treasure and the postlude will be posted after this. I hope you find bliss and comfort in this story. I just want to address something: we shouldn't judge someone on how they love a person. The definition of love in this world is subjective but I am not saying that minors should engage into intimate relationships, please resist the temptation. Also, Raquel Azcona's rude behavior towards Clair Emrie in ch 34 was not a professional approach. When you're confronting someone, please do it in a private place. Plus, I want to emphasize that there's a rule or law that individuals who are only 16 or 17 have to secure a consent form before marrying, as per the Family Court Judge of the New Zealand Government requests. Ramsis was already 19 (almost turning 20) when they got married. The marriage is voidable (if both parties decided to void it) since it is illegal to get married when drunk, but again, this is fictional (the wedding ceremony was not really for them).  I want to thank all of you for supporting me. To those people who are continuously voting, commenting, and recommending my stories, thank you so much! Please don't get tired of me and don't hesitate to correct my errors :> You may visit this page for the story guide: https://holyhoely.carrd.co/  Maraming salamat sa inyo! See you in the next story or maybe in the new series!

"Bakit hindi mo dinala si Ramsis?"

Iyon agad ang pambungad na paninita sa akin ni Mira.

I fixed my coat. Mamaya ay magpapalit na rin ng scrub suit dahil may pending akong surgery ngayong umaga. The dog is in critical condition. Maagang tumawag sa akin si Mira para paalalahanan ako na may emergency.

The owner of the dog was already crying when I stepped inside the clinic. Mabuti naman ata naagapan na agad ni Mira at siya na rin ang nakipag-usap sa babae dahil makapal at diretso ang accent niya. I can only communicate with the universal language.

"He's still sleeping when I left," I replied. "Nagluto naman ako ng pagkain sa kanya at nag-iwan rin ako ng pera kung aalis man siya."

Dumiretso na ako sa aking office. I disinfected my whole body for our both safety. Nagpalit ako ng scrub suit. I tied my hair in a high bun, siniguro kong walang tikwas na buhok ang makakatakas sa pagtali ko ng buhok. I went out of my office wearing a mask. Pumasok agad ako sa operating room para gawin na ang procedure.

Ginawa ko lahat ng makakaya ko para sagipin ang aso. In this kind of critical time, my mind is getting so distracted. Hindi ko matanggal sa sarili ang kaba pero sinisikap ko namang maging kalmado pa rin.

The dog is supported by a ventilator machine. I fixed the brightness of the surgical lighting and checked my interns and nurses with me. They gave me a simple nod indicating that they're ready for the surgery proper.

I also checked the IV pump. Sa buong procedure ay kasama ko si Mira. I only relaxed when I sensed that the surgery was a success.

"Cautery," I said. Nilahad ko ang aking palad para tanggapin ang tool. I'll use it to close the wound made by the scalpel's blade.

It took us fours to finish this. I let out a long exhale.

It was tiring indeed... but nothing equates the fulfillment that I am feeling.

I helped the nurses incharge in sterilizing the tools we used. Si Mira na ang umasikaso para iparating sa owner na stable na ang kanyang alagang aso.

"Ang galing mo, Doc," nagulat ako sa biglang puri sa akin ng intern ko. Kalalabas ko lang ng restroom dahil nagpalit ako ng damit.

"You also did well earlier," I smiled.

Pabiro niya akong hinampas. "Wala na nga halos kaming ginawa, Doc. You were very precise with your moves during the procedure. Talagang kalkulado mo na ang mga dapat gawin."
