THE CHURCH GIRL

Chapter 20

*****NAOMI'S POV****

*****
It had been three days and I hadn't had any drama and when I say any drama I mean no Samantha because after her little brouhaha with Julia, she hadn't talked to me or anyone who I know even her doctor, and then Devon, after our little encounter that day outside Jazzy's room, I hadn't run into him yet. So I could possibly say my day was going exceptionally great.

I walked over to the hospital reception and handed Gina some files of patients in my field who needed alarm bells in their rooms. She looked at me as if I was supposed to be somewhere but missed my way.

"Are you lost or something Naomi?', she asked.

"No why?", I also asked back in confusion.

"Because you were supposed to be in a conference meeting half an hour ago, why are you still here?",she asked still confused.

I stared at her in a shock state,"Because no one told me about a meeting. I have been in my office and attending to patients all day. Who was supposed to confirm that meeting with me?".

"Wait let me check", she scrolled over her tab and a few seconds later, she raised her eyebrows in annoyance,"Samantha".

"You gotta be kidding, which floor?", I asked hurriedly.

"Second floor, the new conference room, far end of the hall, door to your right", I thanked Gina and run over to the elevator. I got to the second floor in a few minutes and jogged to the conference room. I used my key card to open the door and voila, it barged open only to face a room full of doctors and some men and women in suits and modest dresses. I whispered sorry for the interruption and sat down when Samantha eyed me from her seat. I only shook my head pitifully in disgust.

"Doctor Abel", one of our head doctors called me out,"we have been waiting for your arrival to this meeting for an hour now, how come you just got in?".

"Uhmm...I was...attending to a few patients in my field, sorry I'm late", I said turning to Samantha who looked a little grateful that I didn't rat her out and then turned ice cold on me again.

"Don't worry, this meeting is in your honour anyway", another one of our head doctors said joyfully. I just nodded in confusion and relaxed.

"So Doctor Abel,...."a head started.

"Please, Naomi will be just fine", I wasn't really accustomed to my surname yet eventhough is from birth. The doctor nodded and continued,"Naomi then. We all understand your commitment to this hospital and your current history with it therefore faces here doesn't look too new to you except these two gentlemen and these ladies", I whispered a yes and a nod,"Great. Well we would like for you to breath us on your recent research about this ailing illness which has surfaced entirely concerning a recent life saving risk surgery you had performed".

I controlled my anger and got up,"Well first of all I would like to make this slight error right, this little accident, isn't an illness or disease. It us a natural occurrence which can happen to anyone, mostly children", I cleared the air which gained a few pleasing smiles from the new faces and some doctors.

"So how does this accident happen?", a head doctor asked.

"Eerr...I still haven't found a name for it yet since none of my researches shows one. Is a very safe tissue attached to the nervous breaks in the body which hardly breaks off except if is induced with severe shock as a witness gaze to something horrific being witness with the eyes. Any chance of the eyes witnessing something uncontrollable or the body inducing something powerful, it affects that part of the nervous wires which quickly descends to the tissue making it break in tiny potions and high normally could heal itself but that is when you are in a coma". I explained calmly.
