The Choice

Chapter 20

I was sitting beside his bed waiting for him to wake up. It took so much of time that I did not realize that I was already sleeping.
It was 13:10 when I felt a tap on my shoulder, Will woke up. I checked the room to see if anyone else was there and then I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"You scared me."

"I am sorry. So why did I faint during the most epic time ?"

"Well there is a medical reason.I have to page Dr. Medicus and Dr.Ross."

 I said blushing, I had replayed the kiss more than a hundred times. I texted them and was waiting for them to come. He got up slightly giving his back support.

"So you were here up all the time?"

"Yes, all the time."

Dr.Ross and  Dr. Medicus knocked at the door and Will looked up and signalled them to come in. I moved away from the bed and took his file and said,

"Stage 2 Malignant tumor in the frontal lobe. "

Dr Ross cam forward and said," The tumor is in your frontal lobe so we cannot do an operation but we can have a transplant. So we want to your name to be put in the list of the organ receivers?'

"Okay sure. Anything to keep me alive.I have just got an amazing girlfriend and I don't want to die now."

"Sure, we will try our best to keep your amazing girlfriend happy, but you should know the risk, the tumor is above the hypothalamus and the operation might lead to the optic nerve damage and you may lose your eyesight or kill the dream box and make you gorked or might damage the area that makes you you." said Dr. Medicus.

"I will take all the risks."

"Okay then we will put you up on the list. Dr.Grey change the IV and IL3." commanded Dr.Ross and left the room.

"So that is what I am? Your girlfriend?" 

"Yes you are. Did I do the correct thing by agreeing to the transplant?"

"I cannot tell you that,it supposed to be your decision."

"I am not asking you as my girlfriend but also as doctor."

"Okay fine as your doctor,yes you do the right thing by choosing the transplant and as your girlfriend, I will always support your decision."

"Fine." Will said smiling 

"Now you will be feeling a wave  of sleep don't resist it an fall asleep."

"What about you?"

"I will be here when you wake up."

Will smiled and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I walked away from the room and walked past the storage closet and I heard a person sobbing. I went inside and saw Julia crying.

"What happened?"

"Can I trust you?"

"Don't be an idiot, obviously you can trust me ."

"Okay, I am pregnant."

"Wow that is am amazing news Julius must be so happy."

"He is but I am not you know me Hayley surgery is my life and I....."

"So you want to abort?"

"Yes but Julius has left home and I was supposed to abort the baby yesterday but I couldn't do it knowing that Julius will never come back home."

"Oh god Julia, just go ahead and tell me."

"I can't he does not even look at me. Can you go and do this please you are very good at this."

"But me...?"

"Please Hayley."

"Okay fine."

"I will be waiting here go ahead."

I sighed and walked out of the room and took the tab up an saw Dr. Julius, an anesthesiologist. His operation at OR5 just got over.

I walked to the the OR5.

"Heyy Julius."

"Heyy Hayley."

"Can we speak somewhere private?"

"Okay sure.''

We walked till the conference room.

"Did Julia abort?Is it about that?" Julius asked

"Yes it is. But just listen to me and don't speak.

"She didn't have the abortion. She wants to and she can't do it because of you,because she loves you and instead of loving her, you're punishing her for what?for being the woman you fell in love with?"

"This is none of your business."

I took a deep breathe and continued, "Do you know what will happen if Julia has a kid that she doesn't want? It will almost kill her.Trying to pretend that she loves a kid almost as much as she loves surgery. And it will almost kill your kid. Do you what it's like to be raised by someone who didn't want you? I do. To know that you stood in the way of your mother's career? I do. I was raised by a Julia, my mother was a Julia and as the child she didn't want, I am telling you,don't do this to her. Because she is kind and she cares and she won't make it. The guilt of resenting her own kid will eat her alive."

Saying that I , I left the room and walked up to the elevator and to Will's room,and sat on the chair.
