Grace started to clutch her chest while she was sleeping in the couch. Her sweats are dripping down from her forehead down to her cheeks. Her tears are slowly building up on her eyes while she's sleeping.


"D-Don't," She shakes her head like a crazy mad woman while she is laying down. "D-Don't touch me!" A loud thunder roar in their place. She suddenly woke up.


———


I feel my tears, and sweat. I immediately wiped it with my clothes and hurriedly opened the door. Before I got there, Joshua greeted me.



"Hey, what happened you're so pale," He was about to hold my hand but I swayed it away. What's wrong with me?



"D-Don't,"



"Grace... What are you talking about—" He tried to hold my hand again but I suddenly grabbed a vase and threw it near in his place.



"D-Don't! P-Please don't..." I suddenly put my palms on my ears. I can't explain what I feel. He looked at me confused. He walked near me, and he raised his hands. I closed my eyes because I thought he was going to hurt me.



"Grace... Calm down," He hugged me. "It's just an ugly nightmare, calm down honey I'm here," I just leaned my head on his shoulder and cry silently.



"Just, cry, It will hurt if you keep crying silently," That time when I realized that Joshua is the one who's in front of me. I suddenly realized what I was doing.



"I-I'm sorry," He kissed my neck while I'm crying on his chest. How can I deserve a man like him. "No need to say sorry, I'm honored to love you grace,"



"I'm sorry," He kept patting my back and kept giving me a compliment and he kept saying I'm his strong girl.



"I won't leave you alone again, I'm sorry,"



"D-Don't leave me... " I kept wailing on his chest. He is already soaked by my tears. I'm so lucky to have this man.



"I won't," It seems that his caressing my head can make the anger I feel now go away. I just dreamed about my uncle touching me again.



I'm so scared to death.



He stopped hugging me and he cupped my cheeks to kiss my lips. I was about to bite my nails but he held my hand. "Stop biting your nails, it's becoming your habit,"



"I'm sorry," I looked down and I saw the small pieces of crystals made from the vase I broke earlier. I think I'm biting my nails not as a hobby. But because of my anxiety.



His touches still remain in my mind. My uncle ruined everything. Every time when someone is gonna touch me without my permission I feel like someone is gonna touch me like he does again.



After Joshua calmed me down. He said goodbye to me because he needed to rest. Because tomorrow at five in the morning he has an operation. I don't want to be a burden on him.



I cleaned my room and wiped my face. I never wear make-up because I'm scared if someone will notice me. Especially my uncle.



Every time I remember his appearance, all my memories come back from the beginning. Even my mom didn't believe in me because he is a manipulative asshole.



"Stop crying grace, this is not cool at all," I told myself. I tore the tissues I was holding and violently threw them in the trash.



I came out of my office and I see that people are making a mess in the Emergency Room. They all moved away from the patient. Even the doctor who was holding me walked away.



I approached them to check what was happening. I gasped when I saw one of the richest man living in Singapore was critically injured especially his chest.



I was looking around and no one wanted to attend to him. "Doctor, what are you doing? Why are you not doing your work?"



"No, I won't do it, He is an elite, If he died in my hands, I cannot guarantee my life anymore." He shook his head and walked away.



I saw Jeonghan's girlfriend looking frustrated. "Damn it!" she threw the stethoscope she was holding on the floor she was about to walk but I blocked her.



"What!? Go away!"



"Do. Your. Work. I thought you were a doctor and I'm just a mere nurse?" I raised my brow while looking down at her.



"Yes. I'm a doctor but I don't want to treat him! What does he get?" My eyes widened when I heard her reasons. I grabbed her hair and dragged her to the middle of the crowd. "Ah! Aouch! Don't fuc—"



"This, Doctor of yours. Is so useless!" I let her hair go. And she fixed it right away. She looked at me and she tried to slap me again.



"I told you I was taller than you," her head can't even reach my forehead. "Shut the fuck up you cheater!"



"W-What?"



"You! Fucking cheater! Do you want me to spell C H E A T E" My anger is ranging that's why I slapped her cheeks hard. She held her cheeks while looking at me her eyes were full of anger and I don't care.



"Jeonghan and you really are. Trash." The smirk grew in my lips.



And I saw the patient dying of breathing. I saw my friends on the side who were also afraid to come closer as I pushed the patient's bed alone to the operating room.



"G-Grace! W-What are you doing! That's dangerous!" Hoshi gripped my arms. "You. Might lose everything grace, even your license please don't do this," I violently removed his hold on me.




"So, what do you want me to do? Watch him die! Fuck this hospital! Everything is useless! How can you call yourselves a fucking doctor if you can't save lives?!"



"If you don't want it, I'll do it"



"You just stand there while people die?! How long will you be stupid? People wake up! This is isn't about people's ranking anymore!"




Annoyed, Seungkwan came to me and pushed the patient's bed. "Even though I hate this decision of yours," He sighed in a frustrated manner. "Aish!"



Woozi showed me his hands and he is already wearing his PPE, "Doctor, I'm ready, and well sanitized, let's do this,"



I looked at Hoshi and he is also wearing his gloves already. "I might die tomorrow grace, But I won't leave you in your journey, let's go and lead the operation, doctora."
