Chapter 165: Dr. Velma Zeitler (2/2)
Edward is currently on his way back to Faraday University, he's sitting in his car while leisurely smoking his cigarette.
After helping Kyran and Ryze train, and dealing with Rex's request he is finally able to go back to his house in sector 3E.
He looks exhausted because of the past days, the task Rex gave is not that easy for him to complete as his body felt drained.
Edward looks at the street full of people with an absent expression, he seems to be daydreaming.
It seems that he got a lot of things on his mind based on his absent expression, Edward inhales his smoke while slowly blowing it.
HONK!!
Edward turns the steering wheel to the side in shock, he almost hit a car from the opposite side.
'That's dangerous', he thought as he steady his car again.
His daydream almost makes him crash but it looks like it doesn't bother him, an Awakened will not easily die because of a car crash anymore.
After steadying the car,
Edward seems to make up his mind about something, he takes a sharp right making the cars behind him honk angrily.
The car speed through the street as Edward stepped on the gas.
After about three hours of driving, Edward arrives at a place but the place is not Faraday University where he is supposed to go back.
The place in front of him looks like a hospital but it's quite small.
It even looks more similar to a drugstore rather than a hospital, the place is located in an alley with a traditional building around it.
Edward went out of his car before he heads inside.
”Hi, Can I help you?”, the receptionist said after Edward approach her.
Hearing this, Edward takes out his wallet before he takes a receipt from it, ”I already make an appointment with...Doctor Velma Zeitler”
He then handed the receipt to the receptionist before the receptionist look at her.
After reading the receipt, the receptionist checks on the computer in front of her and said, ”Doctor Velma will be available in a moment, please wait there”
Edward then takes a seat in the waiting place before he plays with his phone.
There are many weird people in this place,
Just after a couple of minutes of waiting, Edward already saw a person that is fuming in anger, a person that is crying, and even a person that looks blank.
He's waiting in the waiting place with an old man on his side.
The old man looks frail and weak with completely grey hair, he's very skinny that Edward thought that the old man might not be able to walk properly.
It's completely different compared to an old Awakened, An old Awakened doesn't look old at all except for their wrinkled skin and grey hair.
Aside from that, an old Awakened can still be standing straight and not frail at all.
Some researchers even stated that an Awakened have a prolonged lifespan, some even manage to live past their hundred while still brimming with power.
But the oldest Awakened only manage to reach 115 years, it's still too early to set it at a cap.
”Young man, why are you here?”, the old man said making Edward looks at the old man in surprise, it's because his voice is so croaky and hoarse.
Edward turns his head away from his phone and said, ”I have a pretty rough life”
”Huh!”, the old man scoffs.
He then said, ”You're still young and you already need to go to this kind of place, If you're sick then it's understandable but all people have a rough life not just only you”
”Listen, life is too short for you to spend time in this place”, the old man added.
But just after he said that the old man got called by the receptionist telling him that his doctor is ready to meet him.
Hearing this, the old man bids goodbye to Edward and left.
After the old man left, Edward plays with his phone again while he mumbles, ”I'm not sick on the outside. But if you were to be put in my place, you will already commit suicide”
Edward plays with his phone again,
While he's playing, a woman wearing a white coat walks past him with a tray in her hand.
She then suddenly slipped making the tray fall to the ground,
CLANG!
Right after the clanging sound was heard,
Edward suddenly stands up and gripped the metallic seat in front of him, he then ripped the metallic seat in front of him before he jumped to the corner of the room.
The woman wearing a white coat was surprised when she saw Edward jumped to the side.
All of the people look at Edward with weird gazes, they saw Edward gripped the remains of the metallic seat in his hand with heavy breaths.
He looks left and right in panic before he suddenly snapped out of it.
Clang!
Edward dropped the metallic remains from the metallic seat he ripped before, he looks around before he sits back on his seat in embarrassment.
The people look at Edward weirdly, but then Edward's name is called by the receptionist.
He went to Doctor Velma's room after getting called, he's guided by the receptionist all the way to the room.
Dr. Velma's room is located on the back, it's silent here and refreshing with all the pots filled with flowers and trees.
Edward knocks on the door before he went inside.
”Sir Edward right? please come in and take a seat”, Dr. Velma said while signaling Edward to sit on the seat opposite of her.
Edward excuse himself and sit on the seat.
Dr. Velma is a woman in her thirties with beautiful brown skin, her black hair is tied in a ponytail, and she's wearing casual clothes with a flower pattern.
Her smile is giving a positive vibe just by looking at it.
After Edward sits, Dr.Velma then said, ”I'm surprised you make an appointment with me so soon, I told you that the next session will be next month. What makes you come here?”
”It becomes worse, I...I don't know what to do”, Edward said stutteringly.
Hearing this, Dr. Velma frowns with a look of concern, ”Tell me about it”
