His Mafia Heiress

Stranger's call

CHAPTER 32

— Anika —

After a quick lunch, I rushed buying some formal clothes, even though I know I will be using scrub suits most of the time, still I want to wear formal clothes when I’m at the office or at the meeting or just checking some patient’s.

Isaac drop me first before he went to his office again, which I don’t even know where in this world is that.

“Doc, this is the patient for operation at 2:30” One of the resident doctor said handing me the patient’s data.

“Thank you. I will prepare.” I said as I sit on the chair.

I check on my watch and 20 minutes before 2 so I went to the locker to change into scrub suit.

We proceed in the operating room together with my team. I spot a male doctor going into the operating room also.

“So you are the great Dr. Anika Scott everyone is murmuring about here in my hospital.” He said which makes me confuse. I look at his name plate, S. Tan was written on it.

“So I assumed you are Mr. Tan’s heir. How I wish you inherit also his greatness.” I said then left him, I heard my team chuckle.

“We’re not yet done” I heard him shout which makes me laugh a little. Brat! I said to myself.

I fix my hair and wear my cup and face-mask, I wash my hands before I enter the operating room. Someone help me put my gown and pass me the gloves. This operation will just be quick since this is just a heart transplant.

“Scalpel” I said raising my right hand waiting the scalpel to be hand over.

I look at the doctor who was my partner for this operation, I suddenly raised my brow knowing who he is.

“Nice to see you here.” I said to get his attention.

“This patient is important so I need to make sure he will be alive after this operation.” He said which makes me chuckle.

“Okay” I just said and then shrugs.

“Watch and learn” I added before deepening the scalpel into the patient’s body.

I saw him in awe and his eyes widen when he saw no blood coming from the body while I cut it. Yes! That’s one of the reason why they call me the great Dr. Anika I said to myself.

We continued with our professional attitude after all what we are doing is a matter of life and death.

“Are we good?” He asked holding the heart to be transferred into the patient’s body.

“Yes” I said then nod at him

“I will now place the new heart.” He said while doing it carefully.

I started sewing the major blood vessels to the patient’s new heart.

After 2 hours of cutting, sewing and pumping we are finally good for wrap up. Another almost an hour passed and we are good, the patient is ready to be transfer to his private room.

I finally removed my gloves and throw it at the trash bag. Someone helped me removed my gown and cup, I immediately wash my hands followed by Dr. Stephen. We keep still until we went out of the room.

“Is my husband okay? A woman who might be at the age of 40’s crying rushed to us when we stepped out of the room.

I look at Stephen first and he smiled at me signaling me that I can be the one to talk to them.

“The patient is fine, he will be transferred to his private room in a while. Please just wait for him there.” I said confidently to them.

“Thank you Doc.” They said looking at me and Stephen

“It’s our job” Stephen said then we walks pass through them.

We almost jumped which shock while walking when Buck, Earl and Blake come out of near. Making a huge distance between Stephen and I. I almost forget I have these three big guys everywhere I go.

I just heard Stephen chuckles and I just shake my head in annoyance. He walks fast pace and the three walks behind me and at my side. I headed towards the canteen to get some coffee.

I went to the locker to take a quick shower and change my clothes since my shift was about to finish, my shift is special since my lover was such a powerful one that I can work only on a limited hours. I used a blue jeans and a black shirt and my black high heeled. I returned to the office to pack my things.

“I’ll be going now, just text me if you need anything.” I said to the team while putting some stuffs on my bag.

I was about to carry my bag when my phone rings, I answered it immediately since I thought it was hospital related things.

“Yes hello” I said on the line.

“You don’t know him very well, you must leave now before he does something to you.” A man in deep tone said on the other line which creeps me.

“Excuse me?” The only thing I said which replied no more, I look at my phone and the other line hang up already.

I dialed the number again but it was too late, number not in use already. My heart pace faster, his words scribbled on my mind.

“Are you fine Doc?” Elena asked which grabs me to reality.

“Yes” I finally said.

I walk out of the room followed by the three, Isaac was not there to fetch me so Buck drive. I was still on those words. Who was that man? Why did he call me? And what does he mean by that? Those are just some of the questions keep running on my mind. I want to have answers to those questions but how? I keep silent until we reached the house. I headed to my our room to think, think of what to do to put myself at peace. I have to do something, or Am I just bothering myself? Why would I listen to someone whom I don't even knew or see. Does what am I thinking makes sense? But what question pop up my mind. 

Do I really know Isaac?
