Love At First Sight

Meeting You Again

Two months later, after feeling queasy and dizzy, Catherine made the decision to go to the hospital. Catherine lost consciousness after only a few minutes of arriving at the hospital. Fortunately, one of the nurses noticed her and rushed Catherine to the emergency room. Doctor Douglas was on duty at the time, and he was the one who conducted Catherine's physical examination. He was surprised when he saw her. " This woman seemed familiar to me; where had I met her? Oh, yes, if I am not mistaken, she is the one I am looking for. Am I dreaming or what? He patted his face to make sure he was not dreaming. He was only surprised when Dr. Paul walked into the room. How is the patient doing, Doctor Douglas? She is fine, Paul; all of her vital signs are normal. Let us wait until she wakes up. Perhaps it was a side effect of being pregnant. Oh I see, okay Douglas, I'll go out first. Some patients are waiting for me outside. Go ahead Doc. Paul, I will go out later. After a minute, Catherine woke up. She noticed that she was in a room unfamiliar to her.

Where am I? Until she realized that she was in the hospital. How are you ma'am? You are here in the emergency room. One of the nurses brought you here. By the way, what's your name? Doctor Douglas asked her. I'm Catherine, I felt dizzy, so I came here for consultation. " Can you tell me what my condition was, Doc? " You don't have to worry ma'am, what did you feel was a side effect of your pregnancy? " What? that can not be a doc ," Catherine said, and her tears begin to flow. She didn't recognize Doctor Douglas because he was wearing a mask, but Douglas knew it was her. “ Ma'am, are you not happy that you are now pregnant? Why did you not ask your husband to accompany you here? Catherine did not respond to doctor Douglas immediately, she took a deep breath before she talked to Doctor Douglas. I don't have a husband and I don't have a boyfriend either. I'm still studying how this could happen to me, Douglas suddenly thought and asked her. Catherine, can you tell me your school name? Have you finished your internship? I studied at Columbia University and took my internship at Marriott hotel doc. Douglas' chest beats faster; she is indeed the girl he was with at the hotel. He needs to find a way to get close and get to know each other well. Catherine, my duty is over now. Where do you live? I can take you there, Douglas offered to her. No need Doc. I can go home alone. I know you're tired, so don't bother anymore. I just want to thank you for assisting me. Can I go home now? Yes Catherine, but please allow me to take you home. I want to make sure that you will go home safe. Catherine didn't refuse, and he just nodded to him. Douglas was very happy because he had found the woman he loved even though they had only met once. Catherine felt nauseous, so she got out of bed to go to the comfort room. Doctor Douglas immediately followed to assist her. After going out of the comfort room, Douglas spoke to her. Catherine, you need to rest first. Wait for me for a moment. I'll just take the vitamins you need. Yes, Doc Catherine answered. After a few minutes, Douglas returned holding her medicine. “ Let's go, Catherine, follow me to the parking area where I parked my car. Catherine was a little nervous getting into Douglas' car. Why did she trust him right away? What if he was a bad person? He looked at Douglas, who was driving. Why was he still wearing a mask when he was not inside the hospital? She asked herself. Doc, we're here to stop there. I'm renting that building with pitch-colored paint. If you're not in a hurry, maybe you can have a coffee before you leave. Douglas hesitated. What if she recognized me? He asked himself, but in the end he decided to go down to his car and follow her inside the house. While Catherine was heating the coffee, Douglas was waiting in the living room. He noticed the picture of Catherine in a frame, wearing a pink gown. Her dress suited her beauty and the necklace she was wearing grabbed his attention. That's what she left at the hotel. He stood up and approached the photo. He looked closely at the necklace and saw that there was no difference to the one he turned over to the hotel staff. Douglas was suddenly surprised when Catherine spoke behind him. Doc. Your coffee is here. Doctor Douglas returned to where he was sitting. Thanks, he has no choice but to remove his face mask. If you don't mind, can I ask you something, Catherine? Okay, what do you want to ask Doc.? Just call me Douglas. You've told me before that you have no husband or a boyfriend, but how did you get pregnant? Catherine couldn't speak and just looked at him. She could not tell the truth. Douglas took a sip of his coffee and talked again. It's okay Catherine, you don't have to answer my question. I'm sorry if I offended you. I also want to ask you a question, Douglas: have we met before? Your face looks familiar to me? Even your voice sounds familiar too? Douglas approached her and took hold of her hands. I am sorry, but I have to tell you this: your right we previously met at Marriott's hotel, and I apologize for what happened. Catherine was shocked and couldn't believe that she was facing that guy again. He immediately withdrew his hand that Douglas was holding. Do not touch me, Douglas; you made my life miserable. What will happen to me now that I am pregnant? How can I tell my parents about what happened to me? She exclaimed to Douglas. I'm sorry Catherine, please do not worry so much, I will take responsibility for what I have done. Please, calm down. Worrying excessively can interfere with your pregnancy. Trust me, I was looking and searching for you the following morning, but the hotel staff had no information about you. Admittedly, I fell in love with you the moment I laid eyes on you. That is why I was unable to restrain myself that night. Catherine was perplexed by her feelings. She admits she likes Doctor Douglas too, but she was concerned about her studies and her parents. She is the eldest of them, and their parents expected her to complete her education. Please talk to me, Catherine, and give me a chance to prove how much I love you. Stop it Douglas, please leave me alone right now. Okay, Catherine, I am leaving now, but please take care of yourself and remember to take your vitamins. This is my calling card. You can call me if you need some assistance. I will be back as soon to visit you. Douglas got up and walked away from Catherine, who remained silent and never spoke again.
