Savior || The Resident

Chapter 26

Ashley POV

I stood outside watching as Bradley was getting preped for surgery.

"You're worried" Conrad said standing beside me.

"He's a good guy" I said . Devon came towards us. We turned around to see Bradley's parents

"Mr. And Mrs. Jenkins?" I asked. They looked worried at their son.

"Is he in pain?" His mother asked. "Uh, he's deeply sedated. He doesn't feel anything" Conrad said.

"Our son would never try to kill himself. I don't believe he did" Mrs. Jenkins weeped.

"We're still working on answering a lot of questions. But Bradley was a good and a dedicated member.." she cut Conrad off.

"You don't need to sugar-coat it. We know he was struggling. Bradley was always one of those kids who had to work twice as hard as everyone else" she said.

"But he would never......I mean.... Don't take this the wrong way." Mr. Jenkins spoke.

"We love our son. We wanted him to be happy, but he put a lot of pressure on himself"

"Wanted to be like his big sister. She's at the Cleveland clinic. A natural born doctor" Bradley's mother said.

"Maybe if we told Bradley how proud we are of him, no matter what" Mr. Jenkins looked at his wife. We all shared a look.

"He's a good person. He's got a good heart, you know?" His father started to cry. Devon held his hand.

"Trust me, we all know that" he said. "If Bradley ends up being okay, what happens to him? Is his career over?" She asked.

"Well, if it is, he'll be just fine. We'll...help him get through it" Mr. Jenkins said. They strolled Bradley to OR.

"D..Dr. Okafor?" Mrs. Jenkins called out.

"Promise us that he's gonna be okay" she asked. Mina looked at us.

"Surgeons don't make promises.....But I'll make an exception" she said. Me and Conrad gave her a nod.

They took Bradley to the OR. Hope everything ends good.

"The medical board doesn't make scheduling errors" I said.

"And Denise just blew me off. It was weird. And I think someone's following me" Nic said.

"What?" I asked. "There was this car waiting for me outside the board, to box me in. It freaked me out" she said.

"Okay, probably we should wait. Lane must be doing something. Just wait till our shift ends. I'll get Conrad and we'll come up with a game plan" I said. She nodded.

"Rumors travel fast around here" Lane came towards us. "Nic Nevin? On the grounds of Chastian. Ballsy"

"She came for Bradley" I said stiff. "No need to explain it to me. It's not like I'm gonna call security. Someone else might, but not me" she said.

Nic gave her a hard look. "So let them" she said. Lane walked away.

"That women is a venom" I said. "She's full of lies. Guess what, her name's not even Hunter. And she was kicked out of a hospital for the same thing she's doing here" Nic said.

"I'll let Conrad know. Call me if you want anything alright" o said. She nodded.
