After Brandy had caught up talking with her mother and brother at the hospital, or she was trying to do so anyway?
That was when the doctor had arrived.
His name was Dr Fidelis Quadeezi (Roger Bart) and he was Argentinian. He had been working here for twenty years, and he was almost sixty now.
He had some files on a clipboard and he had just come back from attending to an elderly patient who had just tragically passed away a few minutes ago due to tuberculosis.
"Dr Quadeezi."
He had looked over at Brandy blankly, wondering what he was going to say to her.
"Apparently they only have 27 days or less left to live?"
He nodded.
"Why 27?"
"That's what it said when we calculated everything. The machine never lies. But don't look too down on yourself. They could end up surviving although I'm afraid to say that the possibilities of that isn't very high."
Brandy didn't say anything.
Dr Quadeezi had realised what he had just told her had probably offended her, therefore wanting to make things right with her.
"Brandy..." he had told her, sitting down right next to her on the radiator, as there wasn't a chair there for some reason.
"If you think positively then positive things will happen."
"What if they miss Christmas though? And New Years? Then what? I mean I have Shanae's family, but that's about it right now.
He didn't say anything to that.
Except from the fact that he was going to keep both of them in his prayers, so therefore she should have done the same thing.
"And if the prayers don't work? Then what?"
"If you keep thinking like that, then they won't."
When someone had died, it was because God was finished with them, the devil had taken over them, aka suicide and self harm etc.
Brandy just sighed, saying thank you to Dr Quadeezi for what he had done, then heading out to head back to university.
And as she had suspected?
Esther and Vishavané didn't even care to show up. She was angrily reminiscing about the conversation she had had with them back at university before she had left to go to to hospital anyway.
"Tell you what- we have a free lesson right now. We'll follow you to the hospital."
"We can't..." Vishavané added. "Not right now anyway. But we can always do so later."
Esther Marie wanted to know why Vishavané and her couldn't have just followed Brandy now, although Vishavané just stared at her.
For a long long time.
Then Esther had remembered the answer.
They couldn't have told Brandy though.
It was kind of embarrassing.
"Oh yeah-- we can't go now but we'll come later.. for sure!" Esther Marie had remembered.
"OK, but if you guys are lying to me, or if you don't show up at the end then I'll become very annoyed at you and I mean it."
