It was past six in the evening. The cool breeze had just started flowing so smoothly making the trees dance with the slow pace rhythmic music of the wind. People of all ages were on a walk with some of them bringing their pets while others had earphones plugged in. People were walking jogging and exercising in the nearby park.
Everything was going alright until when a few people gathered around and the policeman had stopped all the vehicles at their respective places.
There was a man in his late 50s struggling to breathe with his hands clenched to his chest in the driver's seat of his black 'Range Rover'.
"Call the ambulance"
"What happened"
"Give him water" people started yelling.
And this one girl was wearing her sweatpants and a baggy hoodie who excused herself from the people towering that struggling man and moved towards him to take a look at him.
"First get him out of the car " she stated.
"And why should we obey you? Who do you think of yourself? " a man yelled giving her a doubtful look.
"Yes, who are you?" another guy said and people started gossiping about her among themselves.
"I am a Doctor from 'Jordan city Hospital'. If you get him out, I could try my best to help him. "she responded in assurance.
"That's a top hospital. " "How can we believe her?" "Is that even true?" came more voices from around.
"Shut up everyone and instead of speaking nonsense just help her. The man is already dying ", the policeman shouted making everyone stand like a statue.
A few men rushed to get that man out of his car who was severely panting. The man blinked his eyes a few times trying to adapt himself to the ongoing situation.
The girl went near him and asked if he could speak something about his condition. But when the man shook his head displaying a no, she examined him for a quite few seconds and finally said "He might have myocardial infarction. And I hope it's mild." she said worriedly and pulled her mobile phone from her sweatpants and called someone. She asked the dialed person to bring an ambulance immediately to her said address. She unbuttoned his shirt a little helping him to breathe normally.
Sooner not more than 2 minutes have passed and the ambulance had finally arrived with terrific sounds making people move and providing enough space for the driver to park his van. Two men dressed in their white uniforms helped the struggling man shift his half-conscious body in the movable bed provided with wheels at the four corners and took him inside the van with the doctor girl following behind. The road stayed busy for a while with people speaking about the previous situation and the vehicles created heavy traffic with banging horns ripping everyone's eardrums.

JORDAN CITY HOSPITAL
The ambulance arrived and soon the man was taken into the Intensive Care Unit.
After about 15 minutes, he was finally shifted to a separate room. It was nothing serious, he just had a mild heart attack due to stress.
"Eva!" the person who realized her name being called turned around to see the chief doctor approaching in her direction.
"yes, Doctor" she replied with a smile.
"Eva, Why are you here again? You just got your duty finished like before 2 hours. Do you know this man or you liked staying in hospital more?", Mr. Jonathan also known as the chief doctor asked her in curiosity.
"No actually it was just that I happened to be there when he had an attack in the middle of the road, so I brought him here, sir" she replied with a sigh.
"Well! He would have been lucky because he was helped by an angel. Anyways you look great today" he said.
She was wearing the same sweatpants and hoodie with an additional white coat making her look adorable. She didn't mind though.
She just rolled her eyes playfully earning a teasing smile from the chief doctor.
"You will be attending to this patient and don't forget to inform his family, I have surgery to attend", he said with a wink and waved her goodbye.
She sighed and her legs reached the office counter where the patient's belongings had been kept. She searched for the patient's mobile phone which was found in his pant pockets.
"Eva, what are you doing here?" a woman in her early 30s at the counter asked trying to help her out.
"Ms. Rosy, where is the patient's mobile phone who just had a mild heart attack?" she asked her.
"Oh! it's here" Rosy said giving a Samsung galaxy note mobile phone in her hands.
"Thanks," Eva said with a smile and switched the mobile phone on which was thankfully unlocked. She searched the contacts list to figure out something about his family. But there was only one person in his contacts list who was saved as 'My Son'. She dialed for his son and waited for the call to be picked up. There was no response from the other side. She dialed again and again and finally, she felt relieved when the call was answered only to regret it later.
"Dad, can't you understand I am busy now? What is your problem? I have important things to attend. ", the man shouted harshly with a deep voice from the other side.
Gulping nervously at the intensity of the voice, Eva replied," Excuse me, sir, this is Jordan City Hospital".
"What? Where is my dad and who are you? I swear if something happens to him I will fucking kill you all" he roared from the other side.
"Hello, mister you don't have to shout like this. Your father just had a mild heart attack and everything is fine now. He is unconscious and hopefully, he will be awakened in an hour. If you care, instead of shouting you may help your dad." she said sternly. While speaking she heard the man panting heavily probably running somewhere taken aback about the news and she also heard some car engine coming to it's life.
She remained calm when he was continuously shouting 'Move you bastard' 'Go and die somewhere else'. It was clear that he hadn't listened to any of her words. She decided to hang up but didn't when he started shouting at her again.
"You better take care of my dad or else I will burn your fucking hospital" he growled.
"It all happened due to stress and I guess you are the stress to your dad" she mumbled to herself but unfortunately he heard what she said.
"Fucking bullshit!! How dare you speak something like that, you bitch!! Who the hell do you think you are!! Who are you to speak badly about our relationship? I will fucking end you " he growled before hanging up the call.
She was shocked for a moment thinking about the man who was shouting without any reason. 'How dare he call me bitch. Even my parents have never said any harsh words to me. What does he think of himself? How could he just say something about ending my life? And just how could he swear at me? How can someone be this rude?' she mumbled to herself in frustration. 'I Don't wanna waste my energy and stress myself out thinking about that punk' she thought to herself and decided to check on her patient.
