“Rose!” I got snap out and saw Ken looking at me worriedly, I hugged him tight to comfort myself after I remembered how my patient dies in front of me. I wipe off my tears and looked at Ken. “Are you alright?” He ask in deep worry and so I nodded for an answer, I saw Brianna looking worried as well then
“Did I do something wrong Rose?” She asks as her eyes began to soak with tear, I pulled her close to me and carried her again “No you didn’t do anything wrong I replied to her. She smiled, she looks on the other way and saw something or someone “Jackson!” She screamed and hop off from my arm then run towards a guy who is about her age. The kid’s parent is holding him and seems they are leaving the park but
“Jackson lets play!” Brianna abducted the little guy
“Uhm Bree I guess they are going home” I told her while pulling her close to me
“Oh hi, are you her parents?” the mother asks me
“Well uh- “I got cut off as Ken wrapped his arm on my shoulders “Yes and I am her husband” He interrupted. I looked at him with a stern look and he just smiled at me
“Ahh is that so, you really look a very fine married couple” The mother complimented us and left with the little kid.
“Seriously?” I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at him
“What? She said we look a very fine couple” he chuckles, “Shut up” I elbowed him, and he started to laugh and tease me by pinching my cheeks.
Brianna played for too long at the park and visited to a restaurant and have our lunch. We have a stroll into the nearest boardwalk until sunset and that’s when Brianna fell into a sleep while I’m carrying her in my arms. We sent her back to the apartment and since its already evening, Ken and I started our date night, I don’t know where he will send me, but I am thrilled to know. The car stopped into a parking lot and now we are having a short hike and when we reached the top, I saw the whole city of Los Angeles,
“Where are we?” I ask
“underneath the Hollywood sign” He replied
“Are you serious?” I ask sternly. Then I saw a picnic mat on the ground with a small table with candles and 2 plates of miso carbonara udon and a glass of wine. A simple dinner date that I can appreciate, a fancy restaurant doesn’t make me impress, but a simple dish will do. We both squat on the ground
“Sorry but, this is the only dinner I ca afford- “
“Its perfect” I cut him off and he smiled at me, “Let’s eat” He said
Ken and I finished our food right after and look far into the view of the city and stargaze, he wrapped me between his chubby arms, and I snuggled my back on his chest while we are holding hands.
“This view is amazing” I said while smiling. “Why wont we tell some truth about ourselves?” I ask as I move away and look at him
“okay” He replied
“Let me go on first. It about what happened earlier” I said sternly, and I can tell that he is all ears on me. “The moment Brianna touched me, I remembered how my patient died a long time ago. That’s why I spaced out for a while” I said
“So, you still have that in your mind…”
“He was the first patient that died on from my hands” I looked down and take a deep breath, forcing myself not to cry again. It’s his turn to tell the truth but he take his sweater off and…
“Syringe scars?” I ask in curious after I saw a lot of syringe scars on his arms “Why?”
“I was sick when I was a kid and so, I got these scars. I know they might look awful but- “I shut his mouth and slowly run my fingers on his skin down to his chest. I can feel his heart beating weakly. This isn’t a normal heartbeat, but I wanted to know “Why is your heart beating so weak- “I got cut off as he suddenly lean forward and kissed me hard. At first, I was surprised, so I close my eyes and hugged him as my heart told me so. He and I spent the rest of the night together until we both drifted off to sleep.
The day after yesterday, I wake up and I’m in my room already. He isn’t around my room, I tried to look for him around the penthouse and he isn’t there neither. I looked at the clock and I realize that I’m almost last for work, but before I take my breakfast and take a bath, I left him a message asking (where are you) but until I got into the hospital I still haven’t got a response. Now I’m worried and frustrated, I can’t even finish the paperwork on my table after thinking so much about him. I called his Annica, but her phone is busy, so I left her a message instead. A sudden knock I heard from the door.
“Rose…” Stella called me from the door. “What’s wrong?” I ask
“Mrs. Betsy is here to see you” She whispered
I immediately stood up and walked outside, Stella lead me the way towards Mrs. Betsy and saw her standing right next to the hospital front desk.
“Why are you here again?” I asks her
“The patient makes up his mind”
I froze in surprise and I started to quiver, the patient makes up his mind already, but I haven’t made up mine yet. “The patient’s family ask you to perform his surgery” He added
“How would they know me? What’s the patient’s name?” I ask as things are starting to get suspicious, he hand me over the file and opens it. I am speechless, shaking and froze in an extreme surprise, my tears started to roll down into my chin as Mrs. Betsy says “The patient’s name is Kenji Wren Cyrus”
