The silence in the room made me realise the weight of the situation I was in.
Blinking back tears, I had to be strong.
"Mom, you've got to make it. It's just you and me now, I don't know what I'd do if you left me. I'd do anything to make you better, get you the best of everything. I promise."
The fact that she couldn't hear me broke my heart.

"You know what mom?, You have to hurry and get better so we can leave and get away from that stupid arrogant doctor. Can you believe the crap that comes out of his mouth? But I have to say he's quite good, but I still don't like him."

And there I began to vent all my worries and frustration on my comatose mother, hoping my voice could bring her back.

"When I meant giving you some time with your mother, I didn't mean you should gossip about me you know."
I stilled at the sound of his voice. Calm down Asia.

"By the way thanks for the compliment. I know I'm good but hearing it from you makes it better,with your high standards and all", his voice sounded nonchalant, but I knew deeply he was amused.

"Does your head hurt?", I blurted out. That could be the only reason he'd want to provoke me. Or at least that's what I thought.

The look on his face made me burst out in laughter. He looked so confused and a bit constipated. I glanced at him again and more laughter spewed from my mouth.

"Beautiful", I heard him mutter. I stopped my fest and turned, "what is?" "Your laugh", he replied, "its beautiful".
I couldn't stop my cheeks from changing colour. That comment was so random, don't blame me.
"I'm glad I could make you laugh, but I need to prep your mother for her first surgery"

As if the nurses could sense my mood, they came in and began wheeling my mother out. I managed to catch a glimpse of her before she was sent down the hallway into the theatre.

I stopped him before he could walk out, "Dr. Reynolds", at the sound of his name he turned, "please save her, I'm begging you." I didn't mind how desperate I sounded, though I hated his guts, he was my only hope now.

"I'll do all I can Ms. Evans", and with that he to walked away, leaving me standing alone in the room.
