Celia Wiley, an innocent young girl who's willing to do anything to save her father. But what will happen when she crosses paths with the devil himself? Will she be able to resist his charm or something unexpected will happen?
She was squatting in the hospital lobby. Her hands were clasped like she was praying and her eyes were closed.
She felt that someone is standing in front of her so she opened her eyes to see a tall man with a cute smile on his face. Celia rubbed her eyes to have a clearer vision.
It was a doctor, maybe in his early thirties. His blue eyes were full of comfort. He said : "Are you miss Celia Wiley?"
Celia nodded without saying a word.
He leaned over and extended his hand to her with a gentle smile on his face.
Nathan : I am doctor Nathan Charles, please come with me to my office.
For no specific reason she followed him without saying a word, Celia is walking behind him staring at his sharp jawline and wide shoulders.
He opened the door and held it back so she can enter. He pointed to the chair like he was saying please have a seat. That cute smile never left his face. He approached his desk and sat behind it.
Nathan : Please relax, your dad is fine now.
Celia : Please tell me what happened there!
Nathan : Miss Wiley, I know you are aware that your father has cancer-
Before finishing his sentence, Celia interrupted him with a high voice tone.
Celia : HAS?! What do you mean by "HAS"?! My dad had cancer and he beat it three years ago.
Nathan tried to lower his voice tone to calm her a bit and said: "Miss Wiley, he didn't beat cancer. I checked his medical records. He stopped the treatment a year ago and since then he's taking only painkillers."
Celia : No no no! He told me that he recovered. He told me that there's no more pain, no more chemo!
She said it with a bleeding heart. Celia couldn't hold her tears anymore. Nathan took a deep breath looking at her. It's not like he hasn't see this before but this time is different. This time is about a girl who already lost her mother in cancer too.
Nathan : Miss Wiley please calm down so we can talk about the next steps.
Celia closed her eyes, leaned back to the chair and took a deep breath then said:
Celia : Doctor please tell me the truth. Is he going to be fine or not?
Nathan: To be honest, his condition is complicated, he is going to be fully recovered if he continues his treatment but he stopped it right at the end. I can't guarantee what will happen next but I can assure you that the earlier he starts the treatment the better are the chances to save him.
Celia interrupted him with a strong "Yes! go for it, start the treatment right away!"
"What do I have to do?" She added.
Nathan : Miss Wiley, the reason why your dad stopped the treatment was the inability of paying for the treatment charges. Are you sure you can afford them?
Celia : Doctor, I would sell my life for my father. Please start the treatment and I will take care of that.
Nathan : Okay please check in the accounting department for all the required documents.
He looked her in the eyes giving her a smile filled with hope and said with a comfortable tone: "He is going to be fine."
Celia tried to smile back to him but the thought of loosing her only family left, didn't help.
She looked at the floor and swallowed nervously thinking about a way to acquire more money.
Nathan : Miss Wiley.
His voice brought her back to the reality.
She looked back at him startled.
Celia : wha-! Yes doctor?!
"Are you okay?" He said it with concern.
Celia : Yeah, yeah I am totally fine. I must go now, thank you doctor.
"Take care of yourself." He added.
She exited the room and went to the restroom, crying her eyes out. While her left hand was resting on the sink and the other was covering her mouth, she thought to herself how life is treating her and what she did to deserve such a punishment.
She remembered the pain that she had when her mother died so she wiped her tears, washed her face, looked at herself in the mirror and said : "I am not gonna loose again. Not this time! I will work my ass off to save my father!"
