Frozen Heart

Chapter 5: Smell of Lavender

As I drove to the hospital, my thoughts were filled with last night's events. It wasn't my job to be on the ER duty anyway, I hope no events happen tonight I don't want any trouble. I just want these two month to pass by peacefully. I was checking in when I saw John running towards me. Agh! I don't want any taunts to begin my night shift with. I looked at him and I turned around while walking towards the changing room. 

"LUNA... Hold up."

I kept walking...

"Stop... Are you scared? Or you just woke up on the wrong side of bed today."

"Scared of you? In your dreams. Get to the point. SIR!"

"Your patient from last night created a fuss," he whispered in my ear. "He got checked in to the VIP section. You are the doctor he requested. Is there anything that you would like to tell me?"

"No John! You must not do this to me. You know how I am in that floor, it's like I am tortured when I'm there. You need to help me."

He smirked. "You know I am enjoying. This way you will learn how to behave around people on that floor. What is the big deal? You get to enjoy the restaurant upstairs. And you can even enjoy the privilege of meeting celebrities. One is assigned to you". He stopped and then he continued. "The Korean. Yes I was told. You thought I won't figure it out. I knew it when I saw him and when I heard Mel it was confirmed."

I started walking towards the elevator. I pressed my temple with my fingers. I looked at John, he was smirking.  

"You know John, I hope you have a very peaceful shift and it's very QUIET in the ER tonight." 

The elevator came, I got inside. I pressed the 6th floor button."Now why would you say that on a Friday night?"

"It will be a full moon too" as the elevator door closed. 

I started laughing when I got to the 6th floor. I have to bear these stupid people tonight. I went to the office Lily came running.

"You're one of the luckiest persons alive. You get to treat Ryan. I am the second luckiest who get to take his vitals and see his handsome face every hour."

"Lily how am i the luckiest one? You get to see him every hour." I taunted while smiling.

"Oh you don't know he requested to be treated by you."

I rolled my eyes. It's because Taylor told me about them and didn't want anyone else to know. But I think everyone knows about this.

"Lily, how many people know about this? Have you taken his vitals?"

She started giving me the report.

I knocked at the door as I entered the room.

Taylor was pouring water in the glass, and he was sitting in a slight upright position.

"Hi, how are you doing today? I see you have managed to sit.... I heard you requested to be treated by me." I turned to Taylor and asked.

Ryan answered. "I take things seriously when it comes to my identity. Not everyone is allowed to know about me."

"You're sounding like you will dispose me off when I am no use to you." I walked closer to him, "I need to hear your heart and lungs. If you can lean forward a little bit." I put on my stethoscope And I went behind while Taylor helped him leaned forward he let out a cry. "I am sorry, your rib is hurting I know but I won't take long. Take a deep breath for me please." His lungs sounded fine, but his heartbeat was slow. "Can you lay down for me please, I need to listen to your heart." I listened as he loosened his gown from the top so i have access to his chest. He was staring at my face. It made me uncomfortable.
