Adventurous Love

Chapter 6

"Please save her. I don't think I can live without her." He sobbed with his hands on his face while Damien looked at him helplessly.

He never knew how to console someone.

He could only place a hand on the man's shoulder and pat him trying to offer some comfort.

"We are doing all we could."

"If I could interrupt sir, Mr Bean the head surgeon said looking at the pathetic  crying man. Mr Damien is the best in this field.I believe and trust in his capabilities.You wife would be okay. And your babies too."

His eyes turned wide. "You could save my children too?"

This time I was the one to answer him. I shot him a small smile. "I found a way to save both your wife and the twins.However, it's very risky. We must remove the babies in ten minutes and close up your wife or she wouldn't be able to survive it. We have the best surgeons here at the highland and I can assure you that it will go well."

The man stopped crying and looked at me with hope. "Thank you sir. I can't say how much I'm grateful."

I smiled a little at him and stood up, ready to head out

The head doctor addressed the man about the time of the surgery while I made my way to the patient's ward.

I stood just outside the transparent glass and looked at the pale figure that had machines stuck to her on all sides.

My heart squeezed a little at how she was fighting for her life and that of her babies.

When they had called me to inform me of this case, I was momentarily  afraid I wouldn't be able to save her. A flood of memories washed over me making me weak in my knees. 

However, while I was looking at her files and scans I noticed I could do something that would save her life and that of her child's. No amount of words could describe my happiness at that time. 

Mr Damien? Mr Damien?

I snapped out of la-la land and looked over at the figure calling my attention. It was the head doctor.

"I've briefed him of everything as you said."

I nodded my head. "Gather all the doctors that will be working with me and meet me at the conference room in 5 minutes."

"Yes sir. He said and left.

5 minutes later,I made my way to the conference room but my phone ringing stopped me midway. 

"Mr Damien here." I said after picking it up

A pitched voice came through "Damien! I've missed you baby. Where are you?"

"I'm busy." I said abruptly and cut off the line.

I have no time for her bratty nature.

"Good day everyone."They all turned towards me. The male with with signs of respect on their faces and the females with lusty eyes. I wouldn't blame them. I'm just too handsome.

"I think we all know why we are gathered here today. They all nodded their replies. For a week we would work,strategize and plan the surgery. Any questions?" 

A woman in my far right with blonde locks and glasses on raised her hands.

"What's the percentage of this surgery being successful?"She said while batting her eyelashes.

I eyed her carefully. "If you want to catch my attention, don't do so by asking foolish questions while we are in this dire situation."She gasped loudly and her cheeks turned an angry red. 

I glared at her and rose from my seat. "Meeting closed."

"We will converge her tomorrow to start our discussions and preparations. Remember. This is a very delicate case. We can't risk any mistakes."

Clarissa. Pov.

I sang loudly "my heart will go on by Celine Dion"while taking my bath. It has always been a habit of mine to sing and dance while showering and this is one damn good day so I'm in an exceptionally good mood. I have to thank my sister later. Hmm... Speaking of her, I haven't talked to her since yesterday. I was worried for her condition.

I turned the warm water off and made my way to the closet. My eyes drift to the table watch and I almost screamed. It's almost time for Jordan to come pick me up. I hurriedly put on a long sleeved yellow shirt with skin tight Blue Jeans. I left my hair on my shoulders and put on some light makeup. While putting on my shoes I heard the knock on my door. Making my way downstairs I gripped hold of my purse,sunglasses and a lip balm.

"Hey Jordan! How are you doing?" 

He looked chipper than last time. "I'm okay ma'am. Are u ready to go?"

I laughed at the title. "You can just call me Cassy." 

He smiled too. "OK Cassy."

The right to the town was quiet as we breezed by the roads. It was sunny today but it gave up a happy feeling. Jordan said we were to visit the bakery today.

We finally pulled there. He brought me in.The place was cozy and carried off a warm feeling. A woman with brown hair and kind eyes came towards us. "Hey Jordan. Are u here for your regular?" Jordan smirked and shook his head. 

He turned towards me. "I brought in the latest traveller."

"Cassy,this is Mary. Mary,this is Cassy."

The woman Mary, gave her a warm smile and we were ursered to a table.

The menu was placed on the table and Cassy proceeded in checking it. It add mouth watering titles. I decided to have chocolate bread with icing and coconut sprinkles alongside with orange juice.

Jordan ordered his and they made small chat with while waiting for the order to arrive.

Jordan is a cheerful guy but I can't help but ask him what he was worried about the  other day. 

He frowned. "It's nothing of utmost importance."

"You know. I continue smiling playfully,when you share your problems with someone it lessens

the pain."

He suddenly turned angry "I'll prefer if u stopped questioning me."

Instead of me to be offended, I was the more curious but I decided to drop the matter.

To say my meal was delicious was an understatement, it was heaven!!

When it was time to pay Jordan beat me to it.

"Why did u do that?"I questioned him slightly irritated

"The agency has given me enough money to make do for whatsoever you want to buy.You don't have to pay for anything. I huffed and made my way to the passenger seat.

He got in and continued talking. "I'm sure you enjoyed that. If you're  looking for a place for snacks. That is just the place."

I grumbled and demanded where to next.

"The super market. "

The day went past us in a blur. Jordan took me to the supermarket. I brought some things for myself, my sister and my adorable nieces and nephews,then we visited the town,the centre of the island where there was a waterfall that looked so magnificent, and finally we walked by the parks admiring people walking by and the scene itself. I was so exhausted. 

By the time I got home it was already late.
