104 Patient File NPD (1/2)

Zunnie had been getting better day after day and she was becoming tired of the white hospital walls and the scent. She desperately wanted to return to the outside world.

So much that every day Dr. Sean came for her usual examination, she whined and pestered him about discharging her like a little child begging their parents for a puppy. Even though she had agreed when Alex told her to not be stubborn and listen to Dr. Sean, she had to try her luck. Maybe one day he would get tired of her asking and just let her go home.

”Dr. Sean are you not tired of having me here. I think its time I return to civilization. You know, my job, the fresh air. I'm feeling fine today. When am I going to be discharged?”

His response was always the same... ”Mrs. Zi, we have to keep you until you're fully recovered. It's not safe to send you out to civilization yet. Don't worry you be going home soon.”

But it was two weeks after she had woken up, and yet still, she spent every day in that same white room, surrounded by beeping machines.

Zunnie frowned as she flipped through the updated patient files her secretary had dropped off earlier in the week. She had been busy reading through them when she heard a soft knock on the door. Fearing it was Alex, she hurriedly hid the files beneath her pillow and picked up the book next to her, pretending to be engrossed in reading it.

Seeing that the person did not immediately enter, she shouted out;

”Come in...”

The last person she had anticipated walked in holding a bouquet of her favorite flowers. She had a bright smile on her face as she walked into the room.

”My, you have gotten better. Sorry, it took me a while to visit, I was shooting in Italy. How are you Mrs bai?” Her tone sent chills down Zunnie's spine. Her hand holding the book tightened as she forced a smile to reply.

”Natalia it sure has been long since I last set my eye on you. You really did not have to come to see me, to look like a million bucks to others. I know how conniving you are. Also, please don't patronize me, we're not that close.”

”Tut-tut, don't be so harsh. Too bad whoever did this was not successful. I could have the one standing beside Alex grieving your unfortunate and tragic death.” Natalia replied coldly.

”You're still hung up on Alex? The time you spent away I really thought you taken that time to move on and accept reality. Who would have guessed you were missing in action because you were plotting my death.”

”You have no right to accuse me. I had nothing to do with your accident. You know if I wanted you dead you would be. Plus, I would never hurt my darling Alex. Putting the man, I'm fond of in danger because I want you out of the picture is quite absurd; don't you think?” Talia sneered.
