Chapter Thirteen

Almost crossing paths

As soon as I got to the hospital, I instantly went to the nurses’ station. Jaime called me an hour before and told me that he saw Betty enter the premises of our hospital at the capital. She was with two persons older than her and they were bringing bags with them. Our conversation did not go well because he suddenly hung up and I could not contact him anymore. I promptly drove here and hoped that by chance, I could see her today.

            “Excuse me,” I faced the nurse at the front desk. She was writing something when I came.

            “Sir Maisen!” She almost screamed. The other nurses blushed as soon as they saw me in front of them. I remembered the nurse who I talked to. I asked her before to go on a date with me but my Dad knew it and he banned me for a week here. Before, I kept using my manly charms to them, but now, I spontaneously stood civilized in front of them. Not as someone who would ask them to go out, but someone who would soon run the the De La Feunte Medical Group.

            “Could you please check the names of the checked-in patients? And all the patients who are listed for check-ups and consultations,” I said pointing at the computer. It was the main system of the hospital. All the other information and data gathered on the individual computers all over the hospital were transmitted there. But she just stared at me, almost drooling. Two other nurses came and they stood beside me, just staring at me also. I frustratedly sighed and asked myself to be patient as I called there attention back. “Excuse me!” 

            “Sir!”she responded almost unwarily. Then all the other nurses were like characters in a movie which was paused then played. “I’m sorry, but will you please repeat what you said?”

            “Is there a patient here named Betty? Kindly check what room she’s into now and who’s her assigned doctor,” I said as I uncontrollably tapped my fingers to the desk.

            “What’s her surname, Sir? It will be easier to check if there’s a surname,” she noted.

            “I’m not sure what her surname is. Just… just check all the Bettys here. Do it in less than five minutes.” I took a step away then came back. “And hand me a hard copy of all the names, room numbers and assigned doctor.” She just stared at me again. “Hurry!”

            “Ah— Y-Yes Sir!” She faced the monitor and hurriedly tapped her fingers on the keyboard. I could not calm on my seat. I flipped and threw and tapped my phone as I waited for the results to come. “Done, Sir!” I almost jumped towards her when I saw her raised a piece of bondpaper in her hand. I took a look at it and found out that there were just three women with the name Betty in the hospital at the moment.

            “Thank you!” I said then hurried my way to find Betty. But before I could even run away, the nurse called me.

            “Sir Maisen! Sir!”

            “What?” I asked in a high tone.

            She just bit half of her lower lip and in an almost whispering voice, “You’re so hot, Sir.”

            “Thank you, but I’m already taken.” Then I ran away from all the temptation that could block my way. There was a more important thing that I must do— to find Betty, to be her and to never let her go. I could not just let this pass by. I needed to  hasten.
