Her Cure

The beginning

{3 march}

Patient number 35 hasn't been doing so well..
patient 43 is feeling worse and worse..
patient 13 is close to their last days..

what went wrong i wonder, it's honestly confusing, i thought i was doing a good job?
whatever, I'll keep on trying.

i was in the garden, playing with one of the sweet childen, his smile always made me feel better after a long day, especially when everything has been going so bad..today was different thought.
after i was done playing with the child i brought him to bed, i tucked him in, his room was very dirty, so as he layed down i decided to give the room a quick fix. i found myself in front one of the walls of the room, near the window. a red marker on the ground, and some badly written words with a few drawn arrows that pointed to the window. "mommy, i miss you" "daddy, where are you?" "please come back" "im tired mommy, it's been 5 months, please mommy" "why aren't you here? you promised"
i took a deep breath, turned around to see a crying face staring at me
"miss jones.. when is mommy coming back? i miss her.."
I didn't know what to say at that moment. i wish i could have said something to make him smile, to see his face filled with joy, but instead, all i said was "she'll be back soon, dear"
and left.

Mr Pierson came in as always to bring a few toys, he seemed the only one who cared about the children? im not quite sure though. one thing i know for sure is that he'd spend a lot of time with them, but everytime i went to check the room later the child was asleep and their room was a mess. they were probably playing..

Freddy Riley Harvard Law, that's what he wants to be called, although no one ever actually calls him that. He came to visit me like always, he would always bring me out for some tea , some of the nurses kept calling me lucky for it. but for what exactly? They said he was such a charming man but i honestly never felt that way, he is rather weird.
"Miss Lydia, how are you doing today?"
"Oh, Mr Riley, what a surprise to see you here again. Would you rather quit calling me Ly- that. I've told you my name is Emily."
"Oh but why? I just don't get it! Lydia is such a beautiful name~ Embrace it!.. anyways, i am here to tell you something important."
he suddenly got all serious, which made me both confused and weirded out.
"what is it?" i asked.
"Look, i noticed there have been a few.. actually, a lot of people who are feeling worse day by day, so i decided to invite another nurse into the asylum. actually, a psychologist. i think we might need one, specifically for the child in room 33."
"really? i mean.. that's a good thing but you should have asked for permission first!"
"It's fine don't worry, be thankful I didn't do other things."
"Whatever, when are they coming?"
"Tomorrow. She's bringing her patient- husband with her."
"patient..husband?? isn't that.. wrong?"
"i suppose, but it's not like we can do much about it. Ly-.. Emily, just behave, she's an extremely good doctor, this will be our chance to finally have a more stable hospital."

a psychologist? .. a husband?.. well.. that's very unusual. i wonder what the hell Freddy was thinking.
