Threads of Fate

"Dra. Gale, we already conducted separate investigation regarding the case of Mr. Castillo but the bereaved family still wants to push through the case filed against you" the UCCG head of surgery stated as I sat across him inside his office. No it can't be. My license as a doctor is what we are talking about here! "It was clearly stated that there is no medical malpractice happen during the operation. Why can't they accept that the patient's body has reach its limit. For godsake, Mr Castillo was already 83 yrs old and sick!" I frustratingly answered almost shouting. I am Christine Galellei Hermosa, a neurosurgeon at United Clinic el Corporal Group or UCCG. I have been practicing neurosurgery for 2 years now and not sure to count more that I am about to lose my license because I was dedicated to save lives. How f*cking ironic! "I'm sorry Dra. but so to speak, in behalf of you, we already talked to one of the country's best lawyer to help with the case, he drafted a contract for you to sign" Dr. Mendrez sympathetically said as he laid the contract and pen in front of me. "You can read the contract and suggest if-" "No need Dr. Mendrez. My license is the top of my concern here" I interjected as I signed the contract. The thoughts of losing my license refrain me from thinking the possibilities of my current action. "Anyway, your lawyer will be here anytime soon. You can discuss with him regarding the proceedings" he added I nodded still in thoughts why this license is important to me. Too important. I sacrifice a lot to reach where I am now. I sarcifice... My thoughts were interrupted together with my whole system shut down when the door of Dr. Menrez's office flew open as a man in three piece black suit enters, clean cut hair and no longer a mullet cut, still the same aristocrat proud nose, now with strong mature facial features than the cute yet snobby face before, and most importantly, those expressive greyish green eyes turned to be the coldest... Him. "He's here. Dra. Hermosa, he is Atty. Acetyl Draven Leviste. Your lawyer" My lawyer. Yeah. Him. I sacrificed.... him.
