Poppy's Extraordinary Playlist

Chapter 3

- I'm glad you finally came back - Doctor said, looking at Poppy suggestively.

She tried to smile widely and look like she's really sorry.

- I made many decisions in the heat of the moment and I really regret most of it - Poppy said honestly. - I'm sorry...

- Ok, ok, I get it - The doctor interrupted her. - We really need to talk about the results of your research.

Poppy's smile dropped on the floor with a crash.

- It's not bad - She said and Poppy breathed a sigh of relief. - You have a little embryo of the tumor in your brain. We can easily cut it in operation. No problem. You'll take some medicines after that for a month and You'll forget about the tumor.

The doctor almost smiled being happy for that easy way to problem-solution. But Poppy was really nervous about the operation. She gulped so loud thinking about it.

- Is it... Hurt? - Poppy asked shyly.

- No, we'll fall you asleep and desensitize you - She said dispassionately, doing something on her computer.

Poppy took a deep breath. She knew she shouldn't have run of her problems and she mustn't have delayed the operation. But she was really scared. She decided to ask Creek if he could company her.

And then she realized that she left Creek yesterday without a word of explanation and didn't see him for a long while. A really long while. She had to find him and apologize.

- So... - Poppy tried to calm herself down during asking this question. - How fast should I go to the operation?

The doctor looked at her thinking.

- Can you go today?

- Today?? - Poppy asked nervously.

- Yes, I think we can do it today evening or only next Saturday - She said splitting her hands. - The sooner the better I think.

Poppy took another big deep breath, preparing herself for this decision.

- Ok - She forced herself to say that. - Let's do it tonight.

The doctor smiled and wrote something on the computer.

- Should I... - Poppy was afraid of an answer to this question. - Should I stay in the hospital till the operation?

- No, I think it's not necessary - Doctor said and Poppy was relieved once again. - You have to come here two hours before, we have to prepare you for the operation, but until that you can leave the hospital. You can also bring with you some company to make your spirit up before cutting the tumor.

Poppy was really uplifted. She put her hand on her heart feeling big relief.

- Thank you so much - She said gratefulness.

- Eh, just leave my cabinet right now. There are so many patients sitting in the hall - She answered still looking at the computer and waving a hand toward Poppy.

Poppy laughed and thanked once again leaving the cabinet. She had to find Creek until the operation, but first, she wanted to visit her dad. From yesterday she felt like she wanted to visit him every day. They needed it.

She went into his room. Cause if he was retired King he got his own hospital room, but it made him more lonely. Poppy didn't want to tell the whole Village that their lovely King Peppy was dying in the hospital but maybe if she'd do, he would be less forlorn. Trolls would want to visit him every day, so... Why not? But it'd make him more tired, maybe he really needed rest right now.
