The Day My Love Flew Away (Justice Series #2)

Kabanata 32

""Dra. Zarate, the board is waiting for you in the conference room." Naputol ang tingin ko nang magsalita ang nurse na lumapit sa akin. Napatingin ako sa doon sa babaeng hindi pamilyar sa akin bago ako tumalikod at naglakad sa ibang direksiyon.

Hindi ako mapakali habang nasa conference ako. I keep on glancing on my phone, it just doesn't sit right. Something's wrong and I can feel it.

"Dr. Zarate,"

I am gripping on my pen tightly and my forehead creased. I bit my lip and held my head.

"Doctora Zarate," Nagulat ako dahil doon ay napa-angat ako ng tingin.

"Are you all right? Doc?" Magsasalita na sana ako pero nagvibrate yung cellphone ko.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave... Kailangan ako sa ICU," I said and hurriedly picked up my white coat and rushed out the conference room.

Bumagal ang lakad ko nang makita ko sila jac sa labas ng ICU at kausap ang doctor na nag-asikaso muna roon. I saw how Jac hit the wall in frustration, bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko pero nilakasan ko ang loob ko at agad na lumapit roon.

"Dra. Zarate, we couldn't save the patient." It was like a bomb that has exploded right in front of my face.

I gulped and ran inside the ICU. No, I won't let that happen... sinabi ko sa sarili ko na hindi ko hahayaan na mawalan uli si Jac ng taong malapit sa kaniya.

When I entered the ICU, may paisa-isa pang tibok ang kaniyang puso.

"Charge to 200 joules," I said.

"Clear,"

Dalawang beses ko itong ginawa dahil hindi pa rin nagiging stable ang tibok ng puso niya and when I looked at the machine, he's heartbeat was now going to normal. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag.

I looked outside the window and saw the three of them hugging each other. Napangiti ako nang bahagya... You did well, Raszea. After checking his vitals, I went out the room.

"We've check his vital signs and we'll just wait until he wakes up from coma. But all in addition he's stable now." I said said in a formal tone. I went near to the girl that I think it's Ryland's girlfriend, the sister of Dr. Quizon, I tapped her shoulder. Pagkatapos ay lumipat ang tingin ko kay Jac.

He was staring at me. "Thank you for saving my cousin." He said to me, gumaan ang loob ko at tumango.

"We'll monitor him from time to time. Call us if something happens. You're free to go inside now. Excuse me," I said before turning my back on them.

Nasa kalagitnaan ako nang paglalakad nang may tumawag sa pangalan ko. I immediately froze and astounded on the way he called my name.

"Raszea, are you busy? Can we talk?"

I looked back slowly and shookt my head. "I have time," I said and glanced at my watch. Tumango siya, nauna akong naglakad at sinundan naman niya ako. I walked to the garden and he followed me there. Walang masiyadong tao, I sat down the bench but he remained standing in front of me.

"I just like to say thank to you," he said. Feeling uneasy, I stood up to match his eyes even though I should lift my head so I can see his eyes.
