Hope and Love, Hope in Love (Completed)

Chapter 2

You must be pitying me by now. I would, too if I were you. Just look how bad I've been through. But there's hope, right?

--

Knocks on my door broke off my stare into space.

My doctor entered with a guy behind him.

He smiled at me. "How are you feeling?"

I didn't answer him. I closed my eyes, instead.

"Until when are you gonna be like this?"

I heard him sigh.

"You gotta move on, okay?"

Move on, your face.

As if I didn't know that everyone was still talking behind me, even other patients.

"Austin... are you sure you can handle her?"

That Austin must be my new nurse. After two months, a nurse chose to take care of me. Does that make sense?

"Yes, Dr."

I opened my eyes when I heard the sound of the door opening and shutting.

"Hi."

My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I heard his voice.

I looked in his direction. "Why are you still here?"

"Your doctor told me to look after you. 24/7."

My eyes turned big, mouth agape with incredulity.

"What did you just say?"

"I said..." He smiled. "You may sleep now. You take your medicine when you wake up. Is that okay?"

"I don't need anti-depressants." I said firmly.

"I don't need money but I still have to work."

Unbelievable.

I glanced at him. "How could you say that in this kind of situation? I look weak, but do I look poor?"

"See? You didn't get what I mean and judged my statement inappropriately."

"Taking anti-depressant, which makes me sleep after I sleep? I want to change my nurse already."

He didn't answer or do anything.

I scorned. "So, how should I judge your statement then?"
