Chapter 6

1208 Words
Laura almost took half a day of cleaning the whole floor of the manor, yet her duty didn’t end there, however. The moment she took a seat on the single couch to rest, Drake happened to call for her. She hasn’t even taken a rest from labor, yet there seems to be another one going on. “Laura, the boss has called for your presence in his office.” She was too exhausted to give him her response. Instead, she went straight to the office, ignoring Drake. In fact, she was already worn out from all the single chore she had done. Well, she wasn’t used to it in the first place, her body was surprised by such an order from the boss! Still, despite all her internal complaints, she would still need to follow him. Now, she’s finally inside the boss’ office, instantly drying up the sweats sticking on her skin as the cold air splashed her body. “I heard you called for me, Mr. Adamson.” Wearily, she spoke. She was nailed beside the door with her stiff body. Adam was found waiting for her on a single couch with his chin leaned on his palm with the look of boredom in his face. As soon as his eyes met the woman, though, his lids suddenly expanded in an instant with his feet getting up on the floor. “It’s your time to do your duty as a doctor now, Doctora,” He remarked as he stepped closer to the doctor whose face briefly distorted upon hearing him. There’s no way he’s making her do the check-up when she has just finished cleaning! Argh! Is this what he meant?! To have her as his fvcking pet?! So, he can do whatever he wants to her?! He’s such a merciless bastard!—oh, he already is since then. This man isn’t an ordinary person after all. Laura subtly glared at him for a second. She was careful with him not to notice it. Then, she sharply breathed out, before showing a smile on her face. “Finally. I’m doing what my father sold me for.” She remarked, causing a frown on the face of the boss. Seeing that, she couldn’t help pushing the lump down her throat. She should’ve just let those thoughts inside her head! Before things get worse here, Laura then quickly headed to the left wing where the medical equipment was already prepared for her. She grabbed the stethoscope, sphygmomanometer, convex mirror reflectors, otoscope, eye drop, ophthalmoscope, etc. from the long table. “Please, have a seat, Mr. Adamson.” Laura invited him to sit back on the single couch on which he had just left. Adam’s face darkened with his slightly narrowed eyes gazed at the woman standing beside the couch. With his hands inserted in both pockets of his pants, Adam paced his way toward the couch without leaving his gaze on the woman. “Before we begin, I would like to know your medical background, Mr. Adamson.” Laura carefully spoke, as she wore the stethoscope around her neck. Instead of getting a response from this man, though, Adam suddenly let out a soft chuckle, “Are you tricking me now, Doctor?” he muttered, having Laura subtly click her tongue. Damn, he caught her! She could’ve gotten a clue of his illness! She could’ve escaped from this shithole easily! But f**k! Laura breathed in, arising a smile on her face next. This time, she should be really careful. She should think things through before going into her scheme! “Of course, not, Mr. Adamson.” She reasoned. A second after, she moved to his front, so she could begin the general check-up. “Then, allow me to perform a basic check-up on you, Sir.” She spoke, and leaned in closer to the face of the man to check on his eyes. As her gaze fixated on his ocean blue eyes, she couldn’t help somehow admiring how beautiful they actually looked like. It was as though her eyes had just captured an actual ocean. This was the closest distance she had with him, and she was positive that she had finally got a clear sight of his eyes. “Would you like to take a photo of me, Doctor?” Adam teased, having Laura instantly brush her gazes away from his eyes, and pay her attention to the equipment on the center table instead. Panicking, she grabbed the eye drop and the ophthalmoscope. Subtly shaking, Laura returned in front of him, who was chuckling at her. To shake off the awkward she was having, Laura cleared her throat, and spoke, “Stay still for a second, Sir.” Trying hard to be unfazed, Laura touched his forehead with her fingers dilating his eyelids. She then dropped the moist from the eye drop on his eyes next. Shaking, Laura lifted up her hand with the ophthalmoscope to aim on his eyes. But she couldn’t get a clear sight of the interior of his ocean eyes when her hand with the equipment was terribly shaking! ‘f**k!’ she wanted to curse out loud, but she can’t! All of a sudden, her breath stopped momentarily when a hand suddenly supported her elbow. Blinking twice, Laura looked into his eyes, only to notice a playful smile on his face. She needs to finish this up right away! Laura heaved another sharp breath without the man noticing. She closed her eyes for a second to gain some courage and strength to do her duty. When she felt satisfied, she opened her eyes again with her brain only fixated to her duty. Finally, she managed to check up on his eyes! She can finally move away from him—momentarily. “Eyes are well.” She spoke, then proceeded to check on his mouth. “Please, open your mouth for a second, Sir.” She uttered, which the man complied with his eyes never leaving her. Laura checked on his teeth, and she couldn’t help taking a huge gulp when his four canines straight up caught her attention because of how well-shaped and sharp they were! She proceeded to check up on his mouth, but nothing out of the ordinary arose. Teeth, gums, tongue, and upper palate are all healthy. She continued checking his ears, but it yielded the same result. Now, she has to check on his heartbeat. Laura inserted the earpiece of the stethoscope and leaned closer to him once more. “Heart rate is normal.” Laura straightened her back as her eyes laid down on the man who has been gazing on her for quite some time while being checked up on. “I would need to check on your blood, urine, and bowel, Mr. Adamson.” Laura remarked with dedication clear on her voice. She grabbed the container for the urine and bowel and handed them to him. Adam just nodded at her like an obedient kid with his lips raised. Laura stared at him with brows slightly creased. The moment she learns about the result of those specimens… it’s just a matter of a second for her to take advantage of that result and escape from this hell!
