NOT A BURDEN

CHAPTER 1 🌺

The fluorescent lights hummed softly above, casting a sterile, white glow over the room. 19 years old Young methilde, but, with a brain of five. with her wide, curious eyes and innocent demeanor, sat swinging her legs off the edge of the examination table. She was there for her routine check-up , but her mind was miles away, spinning with thoughts of the book she'd just read about far-olf lands and brave explorers. She hugged her stuffed bunny close, her only companion on these doctor visits that always made her feel nervous. It always happened with her Whenever she visits him.

------------

Dr. Mark walked in with his usual, overly cheerful smile. He was a middle aged man, his eyes hidden behind wire-rimmed glasses that always seemed to glint unnervingly in the light. "Hello, methilde," he said, drawing out her name like it was some kind of mystery he needed to solve.

She looked up, her grip on the bunny tightening, though she didn't know why. "Hi. Doctor Mark," she replied, her voice small but polite.

"Now, you're growing so quickly, aren't you?" His voice was a little too sugary, like when someone tries too hard to be nice. He placed a hand on her shoulder, squeezing just a little too long before letting go. Methilde squirmed, but she pushed the feeling away

The doctor's questions kept coming, personal ones she'd never thought about before. Each one felt strange, probing in a way that made her feel more exposed. He looked at her too intently his gaze heavy, studying her every movement. Methilde's heart raced, confusion clouding her childish mind. She looked toward the door, wishing her father would walk in any second.

Instead, Dr. Mark locked the door.

"What are you doing" methilde said while her grip on the bunny more tightened "Doctor please open the door this time she said a little Lauder while getting scared."Hey sweetie, just shut your mouth and let me check up on you, ok be easy with me and I'll go really gentle on you I promise Dr.Mark said in his Lower disgusting voice which scares the hell out of methilde.

Methilde's getting more afraid and trying her best not to make any noise; As the Doctor said,or he will hurt her.

"Just let me do it"........... " Doctor mark", methilde's father cut him in between the words.

A wave of relief washed over methilde and she quickly made her way towards her father and hug him like there's no tomorrow.

"What happened my child, tell daddy, what happened why are you scared." her father ask in worry.

"Oh Mr. Johnathan, you know her. It always happens, nothings new she always gets scared of injections, medicine and all, anyways what were you saying. Doctor mark said to convince Mr. Johnathan, Angrily gazing at methilde while telling her not to open her mouth Infront of her father.

"Umm, yeah; actually I want a favour from your hospital and in return of this, I will give them a hefty amount of money."

"Oh ok what is the favour you want our hospital to do Mr.Johnathan. "Dr.Mark asked in a very curious voice.

JOHNATHAN'S POV

"I want to admit my daughter in your hospital for a day. As I have a very important business meeting in Japan; and my wife's also busy with her business partner."

I told him my problem and waited for him to answer, I thought that he will refuse my request right Infront of my face because my daughter is not easy to handle but what he said next that really amused me.

"Mr. Johnathan you don't need to request.and don't worry about her, methilde will be safe here, moreover hospitals are the safest place, and I personally will take care of her."

DR. MARK'S POV

As I noticed Mr. Johnathan is looking at me with a doubtful gaze so I immediately covered up.

" I mean if it is really important meeting, then I will stay with methilde and try to conduct one more therapy session with her so it will be great "

"thank you so much doctor;And methilde darling, thanks your doctor for doing this act of kindness with us." Mr. Jonathan said while methilde was shaking with fear and I kind of enjoy to see her all terrified and scared of me ;but I have to be careful with this silly girl until his father leaves the place.

"UH, MR. JONATHAN you have to fulfil the formalities of the hospital to get the room

So Iam calling the receptionist; you go and get the details"

"No,no daddy don't leave your princess here iam not gonna stay here please daddy no,no

Mr. Johnathan said while trying to made her understand.

Or I will never be succeed to fulfil my desire.

"Methilde my child why are you troubling your father,Iam your doctor so don't worry I will also. give you a very big chocolate,ok my sweetheart; now come and sit here on this chair like a good girl that you are; come here " I told her while showing her my raging eyes
