Don't Leave Me #3 *WattpadIndiaAwards*

Chapter 28

*Palak Pov*

I sighed, staring at him while he is trying his best to act as if he is handling some important call, whereas I know he is just trying to stall as much time as he can.

"Done?" I asked when he finally cut the call before moving towards the place I am sitting.

"I will get another call soon." He replied scrolling on his phone.

"You already extended your therapy for fifteen minutes and now we stayed here for another fifteen minutes. How much more time do you want to give him before we can step in?" I asked, leaning back while checking the time hoping we are not troubling my doctor.

"It's not his mistake. The meeting extended unexpectedly and as his brother, I want to wait for him." He shook his head while explaining as if he is talking about something I will never understand.

"I can go alone, you know." I pointed out holding my bag.

Can I? No! I already know the answer to it without waiting for a second to even pass. Every time we come for a check up it scares the hell out of me to step inside. I fear what if this time I will end up hearing a bad news.

I always hold my breath until we step out of that room. I accept the fact that I am a coward to not be able to do all this alone without the presence of someone.

It's not like I just want these people, but anyone would be fine. At the same time I didn't ask them to come with me and I didn't object to them.

"He is here!" I came out of my thoughts hearing James voice and turned to see that person running towards us while apologizing to everyone he is bumping on the way.

"How did it go?" James asked while I stood up trying to calm my nerves to walk inside the room.

"Because of your reference points it went well and we signed the deal." He replied while following behind me along with James.

They continued to talk about business while I continued to ignore them. Every time they meet either at their home or here, they just talk about business.

One or other time I pick up a word, but the maximum I just ignore because of my blank mind towards any matters related to the company and mainly because of my Dad's persistence to make me join that world.

I paused for a second before entering the doctor's cabin and plastered a polite smile on my face while greeting her and she greeted back warmly unlike me.

"You both are here again together? Baby is very lucky to have such doting father and uncle." She commented looking at them.

"I know you dote on your baby more than anyone." She added looking at me when a frown appeared on my face.

I was not frowning for her dialogue, but just remembering the fact that as I already wrote his name on the records that day, she just took in the news the same way. But what if the marriage news spreads? And it will because of their connection with this hospital.

What am I even worrying about when I should worry about something else? I shook my head while waiting for her to get me into the room for the scan.

She did as if listening to my mind and I closed my eyes while lying on the table waiting for the scan but immediately opened feeling someone holding my hand.

I turned to see his face while he is staring at our hands. I wanted to open my mouth to ask him what is he doing here, but when she applied the gel I tightened my hold on his without my conscience.

"I found you very nervous today. Is anything wrong, Dr. Palak?" she asked making me turn away from his face.

"No! Everything is normal like very normal." I replied, frowning and she chuckled hearing my reply.
