Chapter 13: Strange Patient
In the park's royal hospital, Paisley sat inside the dean's office waiting for him. She had came in and heard that he was in the lab working on developing a new medicine.
She glanced around and saw the books lined on the shelves in the office, with the air filled with the scent of herbs, it was true that he obviously had an obsession for medicine.
She picked up her phone in the room, deciding to send a message to Nyx. She hadn't heard from him ever since and was somehow curious about what her sister was secretly up to recently. Suddenly the door was pushed open and she instinctively turned her head in the direction.
He came in knowing well that someone was in the office, one of the nurses had told him he had an appointed visitor in his office. Without looking, he took of his lab coat and hanged it on the coat hanger on the wall.
"Take a seat". He said before seating down while she stood up from the couch in the office and made herself comfortable on the chair opposite him like being in an interview.
"Your grandfather recommend you to work in this hospital." he said flipping through the document on the desk which was obviously her curriculum vitae which he had already reviewed before.
"I decided it myself, he just helped me contact you". She replied still watching him as he continued flipping through the document before finally shutting it and raising his head to look at who was talking.
"New here aren't you?" he asked seeing the unfamiliar face and sensing the strange scent.
"Yes." she replied before continuing, "I actually arrived last week, I'm applying here to work while I spend the free time I have here"
He looked at her, her casual expression showing her confidence. She seemed more like what old Drake had described to him. He however didn't want to waste time so he finalized the interview.
"Ok, you'll work as a Surgeon here." he said to her making her raise an eyebrow in surprise.
"Really fast" she said with the quick surprise in her mind. The supposed interview hadn't last more than ten minutes. She was aware her grandfather would convince him but still, she had thought he would make it harder due to his rumored strict behavior.
" I'll believe the Old man's words and see how you'd cope in the theater. Just remember the surgeries here are a little bit severe sometimes than those in the human realm.
Paisley smiled nodding her head gently. "Understood."
"Since you'll begin today, there's a patient who needs surgery. Ward 64 on the second floor" he said as he handed her a card to open the ward door. "In a minute." he said again picking the telephone to call someone in.
Soon had the call been made when a nurse on navy blue uniform walked in and stopping at the desk.
"Get the team ready for Mrs Stone to perform surgery for the patient in ward 64". He said with a cool expression while picking up other arranged documents to work on.
Meanwhile, the nurse hearing the ward number shrugged in fear giving Paisley a strange feeling. She looked up at him, an uneasiness rushing flowing through her nerves as she stepped closer.
"Umm sir, you mean ward sixty four on the second floor." she asked.
Logan however didn't flinch nor look up but rather kept working with the document. "How many wards numbered sixty four do we have in this hospital". He replied sternly while she inhaled deeply.
"Okay sir" the nurse finally replied before turning to Paisley. "Miss please follow me". She said turning around leaving the office.
Paisley stood up bowing to Logan before following the nurse outside. The nurse led her to a place where she would put on her protective clothes. Meanwhile the nurse also went to call the other surgeons and nurses which would be assisting her in the theater.
"What!!! The dean wants someone to treat the patient in ward sixty four, is he sending her to her death". The two other doctors exclaimed hearing what the nurse said.
"He's serious about it. You two would just have to go on with it, she's in the changing room, I think the dean wants to test her skills, I heard she's the granddaughter of the Packs Old beta." the nurse said.
The female doctor sighed while the male doctor opened hos mouth about to speak but instantly couldn't find any words to describe the actions of their strict boss.
"Lets go Liam, we might not get out of the ward in the next two hours or we might just run out in five minutes". Rylee said as she made her way to meet the new doctor in the changing room.
"Get everything ready". Liam said to the nurse who instantly nodded before he left. The nurse took a deep breath shaking away the nervousness and fear. This was very complicated and risky, only the Almighty knew if this new doctor would be able to successfully perform the surgery on the half mad patient in ward sixty four.
Meanwhile, Paisley was just putting on her gloves when Rylee walked into the female changing room. Rylee immediately sighted the lady with her hair tied in a bun putting on hand gloves. From her angle of perspective this new doctor was extremely beautiful with fair skin and incredible facial features and a nice figure, she smiled thinking how those men in the hospital would react with seeing such a beauty everyday. It's somewhat not too good if her first surgery in the hospital was a fail, though everyone knows how hard it is with the patient in wars sixty four.
"Hi I'm Rylee" she said as she came closer to Paisley extending her hand for a handshake.
Paisley turned to look at her, the girls eyes were fixed on her with a smile, she immediately guessed that the girl before her was the assistant surgeon who would work with her in the theater.
"Paisley Stone" she replied as she accepted the hand shake with a smile.
Hearing the surname Stone, Rylee immediately found it strange that the old Beta was holding the surname Drake while her's was stone.
"You're the new surgeon right?". Rylee asked with a hint of excitement noticeable in her tone.
"Yeah. I just reassumed today, hope we can work more together in the future". Paisley nicely said exhibiting courtesy.
"Yeah. Can I call you sis, you look so much like an elder sister". Rylee said.
Paisley was shocked by the sudden question, but at the same time couldn't resist the pleading expression from Rylee.
"Okay, that's fine if you want. " Paisley replied before continuing. "Do you know much about the patient in ward sixty four?" she asked.
"Of course, everyone in the hospital knows about him." Rylee replied as she put on her protective theater clothes, covering her hair with the hair net before continuing. " he seems to jave one of the rarest case. However we're quite surprised that the dean asked you to perform tje surgery."
Paisley's eyes twitched, no wonder the nurse had acted strange when the dean asked her to perform the surgery, seemed like this patient had a very rare and severe case.
"What's the case?" she asked as she made a move leaving the dressing room with Rylee.
"Seems to have A.N.M.S" Rylee replied.
Paisley paused as she heard the name of the disease. She turned to her again
"Just get me the chart first ".
