The Vet Of A Bachelor

🐶 Chapter Two 🐱

"Doctor (Last Name) speaking."

"Hello Doctor (Last Name), this is Jumin Han, Elizabeth the third's owner." I heard a man say through the phone. "Hello Mr. Han, what seems to be the problem?" I asked looking back at Kathy. "I demand you give Elizabeth the third x-rays." My brows furrowed at the demand. "Any particular reason why?" I asked as I walked over to the cabinets to get out some bandages. "My assistant informed me that Elizabeth had started limping, I simply wish to make sure it's nothing serious." He said and I looked back at Kathy who was standing next to Elizabeth. "Alrighty sir I'll have a referral sent to our Radiology Department right away but I really need to hang up so I can have a look at Elizabeth's paw, okay?" I asked bringing out some rubber gloves. "Thank you, please have my assistant call me as soon as you are finished." He said before hanging up.

I handed the woman her phone before handing Kathy a set of gloves. "Okay Kathy you need to hold her still so I could check out her paw." I said pulling my gloves over my hand. "And I assume your Mr. Han's assistant?" I asked the woman who nodded. "Yes, I'm Jaehee Kang." She said reaching out a hand. "(Name) (Last Name)." I said as I shook her hand. "Okay miss Kang I'm giving you a choice here, you can either stay in the room and risk getting scratched or you can step outside." I said as Kathy gently picked up Elizabeth. "I would leave but I doubt Mr. Han would be happy with that." She said looking over at Elizabeth. "Then I suggest you stay put." I said smiling slightly before walking over to Kathy.

"I'm so sorry about your arm, I've never seen Elizabeth the third act so...so out of character." I laughed as the woman, whose name learned was Jaehee, apologized for the hundredth time. "It's totally fine, with my line of work it's easy to say that I've suffered far worse." I laughed as I wrote down Elizabeth's prescription. "Now if Mr. Han has any questions about the medication tell him to call Natasha in pharmaceuticals anytime of the day." I said handing Jaehee the prescription as we walked out of the Radiology Department. "I will tell him." Jaehee said taking a sleeping Elizabeth in one of our courtesy kennel.

We had to put the poor cat to sleep halfway through the X-Ray's because she attacked both myself and the lab technician because we kept touching her injured paw, but as I said to Jaehee it comes with the job.

"Doctor?"

I looked back at Jaehee who was looking at one of our framed photo's. It was a photo of me and my father standing in front of one of our rescue sanctuaries. "Yes?" I asked putting my prescription pad into my folder. "You work for the Paws, Gulls and Feathers animal sanctuaries?" She asked and I chuckled. "No actually, I founded the animal rescue programs and use half of the money we make in our hospitals to donate to our rescue sanctuaries and other charities." I said with a smile. "You do, well I must say that's incredibly noble of you." She said and I smiled. "Thank you but I'm afraid I have to get going." I said as I watched the janitor make his way down the hall. "It's almost time to close up the radiology department." I said as I started walking down the hall while shoving my folder into my bag. "I understand, thank you very much for taking the X-Rays." She said looking down at my arm. "And I'll have Mr. Han contact you about your arm." She said and I shook my head. "Don't bother, like I said I've had much worse, it just comes with my job." I said opening the door leading to the of the hospital. "It was nice talking with you Ms. Kang but I really need to return to my office." I said jabbing a thumb back at my door. "Okay, have a good evening Doctor (Name)." She said as she started walking towards the lobby. I turned around and started walking to my office, reaching a hand into my coat to retrieve my key.

"Oh Doctor (Name), I've been looking for you everywhere!"

I had just put the key in the lock when I heard a voice call out so I stopped and looked back to see standing behind me. "Yes Valarie?" I asked taking the key out of the lock. "You have another charity dinner and auction tonight." She said handing me my invitation. "What? I thought that was next week?" I said taking the ticket and checking the date. "No next week is the Save the Reefs dinner, today is the Wildlife Alliance charity dinner and auction." She said looking down at my schedule. "Okay, I still have my emergency charity outfit?" I asked shoving my key back into my lock. "Yes ma'am, I'll give you twenty minutes to get ready before I call your driver." She said as I opened my door. "That sound great Valarie, thank you." I said stepping into my office and closing the door. I sighed, dropping my bag on the floor beside me as I leaned against the door.

"I guess it's another rubber chicken dinner tonight Leela." I mumbled as I felt something tug at my pant leg. I looked down at the small who I named Leela and picked her up, placing her on my shoulder. "Now, how did you get out of your ?" I asked looking at the cage bought for her. I laughed as Leela simply slapped her paw against my chest. "Okay okay, I'll worry about that later, for now I need you to stay in the cage while I get ready for the dinner tonight okay?" I said picking her up off my shoulder and walking over to her cage.

I opened the cage door a bit more and put Leela on the pillow on the bottom of it before locking the cage up and walking over to my cabinet. I pushed aside my man lab coats and grabbed hold of my .

Now as unusual as it is, having an emergency outfit comes in handy. Especially when your life is as busy as mine and you spend most of your time at events like the one's I'm about to attend.

"Doctor? Are you ready?" I heard Valerie as as she knocked on my door. I walked over to where Leela, happily was climbing a rope in the cage I had bought for her. "Come on Leela, we need to go." I said opening the cage. I held out my arm for Leela who happily climbed on and settled herself on my shoulder as I heard Valerie bang on my door more.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!"
