Dr. Valentino (18+)

Farewell - 3

"Olivia Sanders, 26 years of age, 5'6, 133 lbs..."

The lady's eyes did a one-over of me, hoping I grasped each word that left her lips.

I managed to strain a smile, urging her to go on, and at each growing second, she would pat her platinum blonde hair, tilting her head to the left, then scribble something onto the paper in her hands.

Loren was already growing impatient standing beside me, wanting so bad to make her exit from the hospital grounds. According to her, I had a home filled with people awaiting my arrival.

I had no idea whatever Loren had set up, but I prayed for my sanity it wasn't one which would have me even battered than I already was.

"How long would it take to have her checked out?" Loren was sure to voice her impatience, soon earning her a 'look' from the lady serving at the front desk, who was clearly pissed at the smashing lady who had walked in here, commanding the attention of everyone, merely by her presence.

Only a girl like Loren could do that.

"You'd be returning every Thursdays during the week for a complete checkup, to know how far you're going with the treatment..." The woman paused, flipping onto another page, and skimming the writings, she managed to bring her gaze on me.

"You'll most certainly be attended to by the Doctor, Miss Sanders..." She flashed a grin.

"So you need not worry, you'll be fine in no time"

I was barely concerned with however long it would take me recovering, what really was on my mind, was the name I found scribbled stop that file.

"Doctor Valentino" I read the name yet again, placed in the tab of my assigned Doctor, and that was when I found myself scooting closer to Nurse Roseling.

Perhaps the lady had taken notice of the look of apprehension held in my gaze, for in a second, I watched her brows pull into a furrow.

I paused, wondering what to do of such focus which had now been placed solely on me.

On one side, Loren stood, watching as I was at war with the words held on my lips, and on the other end, Nurse Roseling stayed, keeping a keen eye on me.

"Ma'am.." I began.

"Can I request a change of Doctor?"

I watched the lady's face scrunch at once, a frown now taking her face.

"And why might that be?" She questioned.

I hesitated, having a glance at Loren.

"I think it be best" I uttered.

"Dr. Valentino is known to be one of the best here, I believe it would be just perfect having him tend to you, Miss Sanders" Nurse Roseling who I was pretty sure was already worked up at this point uttered firmly, daring me to go against her yet again.

But as I will go on saying, it was no mistake Loren had been sent to me, for in every situation I knew not how to handle, she was certain to step up.

"Excuse you..." She jumped in at once.

"If your patient requests a change of Doctor, then you should see to that at once" She spoke.

"And perhaps you lot should check yourselves as to why your patients are requesting for transfers, rather than choosing to exchange words with them...We'll be here, Thursday. Good day!"

And that was how my friend had grabbed me by the hands, dragging me out of the halls, while those intrusive gazes were sure to linger on our departing figures.
