186 Not In My Sickbed (2/2)
When Dr. Aijohn returned to his office later,Mr. C was already waiting for him.
”How about it now,Mr. C? ”He asked seriously.
”I just can't make any excuse. ”
”Then,tell the truth. ”
”I want them to grieve only in my wake and not in my sickbed. ”
Dr. Aijohn slumped into the couch. This was such a great weight he had to bear. Much heavier than the problems he faced with the fire outbreak and typhoon threats.
”Just please give me the remaining products. I willlive until our supply lasts. ”
”Mr. C,our product is just a human discovery. More than anything else,God is still the Mighty Healer and the Greatest Physician. We will pray that He will makethese remaining bottles as channel for your complete healing. ”
”But then Mr. C,a certain author quoted that success is the union of both human effort and Divine power,so you need to comply the basic requirements we ourselves set towards our patients. And one of it is rest... ”
”I know. ” He said,pondering about it.

Anthon picked up his things and walked slowly to his car. It was already five in the afternoon and he was going home. As he pulled out on a private parking lot,a red car obstructed the driveway. He waited for ten minutes,15 minutes... but still there was no movement.
He got outand walked towards the red car. The woman on the driver seat,instantly opened the window.
”Sir Rodriguez,I'm sorry. I don't know about troubleshooting and the engine just won't start. ” The woman was already on the verge of tears.
”Miss Pizarra? ” Anthon recognized her as one of the engineers employed in their construction project.
”Just please call me Anna. ” She smiled at him, though a teardrop had escaped from her eyes.
Anthon was startled. Anna... of all the names....
He sighed.He instantly missed her.
”Sir Rodriguez? ” Anthon was brought back to his senses.
”Call me Anthon, as well. Now,can you please come down so I could check it? ”
”Sure. ” Anna got down and moved to the rear seat.
While Anthon was checking on something,Anna began talking.
”Sir Anthon, what will you do during our two - week break?Are you going home or sign the two - year contract extension? ”
Anthon glanced at her. ”I will still think about it.How about you? ”
”I'll take the two - week break at home then come back here. ” Anna replied.
”From where are you? ” Anthon never went into any conversation with a woman,especially a colleague.
”Cebu. ”
Anthon gave her a quick glance then pushed a button and the engine was restarted.
Anna's eyes lit up when she realized how fast did he solve the trouble.
Anthon got out from the driver seat and waited for Anna to slid out.
She was not stunning butcaptivating, a type of beauty that intensified as you look closer and longer.Those soft - spoken eyes werebeautiful and alluring.Just like Jia's...
