Confused Boyfriend

**

Bella didn’t call her sister, Melinda -Paulina’s mom that night because it was late already – 9:00pm. Assuming she did, she would surely be asleep… and the call would have disrupted her sound sleep and the bad news would also disrupt her mind and memories. And she would rush down to Wintry – Coker’s Avenue from Kartella.

Bella had passed the night at the hospital after speaking a little with Paulina and watched her sleep. Her voice, she sounds okay and she doesn’t look ill at all but the problem is; What d’ hell is wrong with her?

She called Mrs Brown the next morning, told her about it and the hospital Paulina’s was brought to. Without being there with her (Mrs Brown), Bella already knew how she felt.

In the next hour, Mrs Brown arrived at the hospital.

“Let’s go see the doctor. He said wants to see you” Bella said to her.

“Are you sure Paulina is fine? ” She asked again when she saw her daughter sleeping.

“Yeah, she is still asleep” Paulina’s aunt assured her.

Then they left the ward together and walked to the doctor’s office.

“Morning sir” They simultaneously greeted.

“Doctor John” He corrected.

“I’m Mrs Brown, I’m the mother of the patient in ward 123” Paulina’s mom briefly introduced herself.

“Oh, welcome. Have your seat” He beckoned them.

“Are you sure you want me to talk about it with her here? ” The doctor asked Mrs Brown, peering through his glasses.

“Why not. She is my sister! ” Mrs Brown told him.

“Well yes I know. A case happened a week away. A murderer disguised as a patient’s uncle. So that’s the reason why I was a bit strict about disclosing the health of your daughter to her. I’m sorry” He apologized.

“OK, I understand you have a reason ” Bella said.

“Please Doctor John, can you please go ahead and tell me what’s happening to my child? ” Mrs Brown panicked instead.

“As you can see, she is okay and fine” The Doctor said.

“Yeah, you said just for now” Bella interrupted him.

“What did you mean by that? ” Paulina’s mom asked him.

“The ailment will re-occur and it might worsen the whole situation. May I ask a question? Did she undergo any form of surgery?” He asked.

Paulina’s Mom and her aunt turned to look at eachother, speechless to say the least.. thinking of saying the truth or not.

“I mean, the tests, my eyes and my instinct do not deceive me. Did she undergo a cosmetic or plastic surgery that involves her face? ” She asked.

“Her… Her whole body” Mrs Brown stammered.

“Yes, she has undergone a plastic surgery” She told the doctor.

“Oh my Goodness” The man exclaimed.

“I am a medical doctor, my field doesn’t involve or related with plastic or cosmetic surgeries and I have no idea about it but I must say this, The surgeon must be a quack one” Doctor John said.

“Uh? ” Bella exclaimed.

“Ok, Ok Please Doctor John, please stop beating around the bush and tell me what’s wrong with Paulina? Tell me what to do! ” Mrs Brown said already with teary eyes.

“Her respiratory system, I’m talking about her nose! ” He said.

“What happened to her nose?” They asked simultaneously.

“Being a fake one is not the problem but who ever did the surgery didn’t do it well… That’s why she couldn’t breathe for a while and if nothing is done, she may not be able to breathe forever. You know what it means”

“Never! No! This can’t be happening”

“But it is, instead of sitting here and thinking it’s all a dream. Something must be done! I would have loved to help since it’s my Job to save lives but this problem is not related to my field” He said.

“Doctor, Doctor John, you need to understand something you don’t seem to, that girl initial look was so unbearable to people and she became a mocking toy” Bella tried to explain…

“I know. That’s the only reason that makes people go for cosmetic and plastic surgery. What I’m trying to say is that, The Plastic surgery she did was not successful”

“But he said it was” Mrs Brown argued.

“He said So? But it’s not” He said.

“Melinda, we’ve got to sue that man! ” Bella suggested.

Paulina’s mom maidian name is Melinda.

“Well, I don’t think It is possible to. It wasn’t a compulsory treatment, it was a voluntary one. Had it been Medical Doctors like me made such a mistake then there is every right to Jail us but for the plastic surgeons, No way. It was your decision” He concluded.

And they heaved a very heavy sigh.

– Terrified and confused on what exactly to do.

“When did the surgery take place? ” He asked them.

“18 days ago” Mrs Brown answered immediately.

“Before it’s get too late, you’ve got to hurry up. Return to wherever the surgery took place” He told them.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

They nodded and stood up to leave when the door was flung and two nurses rushed in.

“Doctor John! The patient at ward 123” They screamed.

“Emergency!!”

“What? ?” They all flinched.

The doctor hurriedly put on his white coat and rushed out of the office with the two nurses along with him.

Bella and Mrs Brown were not permitted to come into the ward even with the way they were weeping and pleading.
