Angel of Light [English Version] (Completed)

Chapter 6: I'll not give up on you

- Clarke was all Lexa could say as she sat there in shock and surprise, and cursing herself internally for feeling that her legs were shaking too much for her to stand up.

- Do not worry, I know where the door is - Clarke said as she turned for the door.

- Do not leave! Please, Clarke, do not go... I know it's not a comfortable situation, but what has happened between us does not have to interfere with your consultation with me - Lexa said as she finally stood up and approached Clarke but respected her space.

- I'm sorry Dr. Woods. But I do not want you to consult my case, despite your good professional references, I honestly do not think I can continue treating this situation as if you were just a doctor and I was your patient. Have good morning - Clarke said without turning her face or body to where Lexa was standing next to her as she fumbled with the door handle and opened it before the Doctor could insist that she stay.

Lexa froze, with no words or reason to make Clarke stay so she could treat her. She cursed herself, mentally telling herself that she could not act in such a stupidly weak and unprofessional way. Despite what had happened between her and Clarke, and what was still clearly happening between them, the young blonde was a patient of her's now, and she wanted to help her to regain her sight and she would do anything to make her see reason.

But noticing Clarke's clear discomfort, she did not want to push her into staying. She had to let her go for the time being, but she would study her case and give her some time to calm down, then she would try to get her to return to complete the consultation and that examinations and tests could be carried out on Clarke to see what her chances of regaining sight were.

Clarke felt that her legs were trembling as she left Lexa's office. She was so stunned as she walked straight past the secretary's desk on her way back to the elevator.

Echo watched shocked as Clarke walked by her desk, she did not understand what had happened in Lexa's office. Normally the consultation with Dr. Woods lasted between 15 minutes to half an hour, and her boss usually asked for coffee or tea for her patients, and at the end of the consultation, she sent them back to her to arrange the next appointment along with any tests that Dr. Woods requested.

Dr. Woods consultation with Miss Griffin had lasted no more than five minutes and she had not stopped at the secretary's desk to arrange her next appointment. Echo tried to understand what had happened, but it took her a while to react to the unusual situation, and by the time she stood up and tried to talk to the patient, Clarke was in the elevator, and the doors were closing.

Echo immediately turned away from the elevator and walked with elegance to the office of Dr. Woods, to make sure that everything was alright with her boss.

She gently knocked three times on the door and upon hearing Lexa tell her to come in, she entered the office closing the door behind her.

- Sorry, Doctor, but Miss Griffin walked by my desk without arranging her next appointment with you and any tests you might want her to undergo ...did something happen? Echo asked the Doctor, who was sitting in her chair behind her long desk, her eyes focused on a patient's medical history.

- Echo, I want you to find out as much information as possible about Miss Griffin that you can and give it to me as soon as possible. I want her medical history since she was born. And tell me, did she make the consultation with me herself?

- Ermmm... I do not remember, but I will find out immediately if you want me to and of course, I will get Clarke's medical history as well. - Echo answered instantly, but still a little surprised and confused, since her question had not been answered. She stared at her boss, who had given her orders without even looking at her.
