The Physician of Revenge

12th of May, 2019 "Scalpel" Alex requested, stretching his hand to collect it. The operating room was lit and three assistants were with him. "Forceps" "Retractor" "Scissors" He was collecting them one after the other whenever the need called for it. He diverted his maximum attention to the surgery. It wasn't planned but it needed to be done to save the life of the appendix patient. "What's his blood pressure?" He asked as he was wrapping up the surgery. "Normal sir," the lady among them answered. "That's good! It was a successful surgery. Round it up and transfer him to the Intensive care unit after. Tell his guardian that he will recover within the next three days if nothing goes wrong" he instructed and glared at the clock. His eyes widened in shock and immediately removed his hairnet. "See you guys later" The operating room door opened and Alex ran out like he was being chased. He went to his office to have a change of clothes. He was sweating as he was changing clothes. How could he be late to his wedding? He has been planning that for the past few months. Alex rushed out of his office and went to the car garage. He hopped inside his car and drove off. His phone started ringing consecutively. It was Mirabel, his fiance that was calling him. "Where are you?" Was the first question that she asked. "On my way darling, something came up but I'll soon be there" he hurriedly answered. "It's our wedding day! Do you have to be late again? For goodness sake! We have less than thirty minutes to start the party! I've been waiting like forever. Well, get me another bouquet on your way here, I forgot mine at the dressing room" She requested then hung up the call Stepping on the accelerator, he started driving at the speed of one hundred meters per second till he arrived at a very big boutique. He parked his car and entered, going straight to meet the receptionist. "Hi. I'm Alex Maxwell. I have an appointment with Jerry" he introduced himself. The receptionist checked her personal computer for a few seconds, then gestured to him to follow her inside The man called Jerry was already waiting for him "You are late" he voiced out "An emergency surgery occurred and I needed to be there" Alex answered. Both guys shook hands before Jerry took him to the dressing room. His preferred suit has been chosen. He only needed to wear it and Jerry would style his hair It was his wedding day anyway, he needed to appear cuter than before. His phone wouldn't stop ringing. At that time, it wasn't Mirabel that was calling but her mother. "I'll be there soon, Mom," he replied over the phone. Well, he was used to calling his proposed mother-in-law, mom, which she also seemed to like. "Thank you" Alex appreciated Jerry when he was done. He did a good job of giving him a new appearance. "Your account details" he requested, transferring the service money to Jerry. On his way out, he branched at the bridal Section to pick a bouquet for his fiance as he requested. Alex Maxwell was a medical doctor at the city hospital. He wasn't rich nor was he poor, he was living on the average income that the hospital was paying him as he was a junior doctor and still studying some part-time courses to improve himself. He was born into a poor family in a small village but was determined and ended up in the city, as a medical doctor. Not only that, he was still paying up the loan that he used to buy his car. Checking himself again from the mirror, he was satisfied with his looks. He was going to drop the bachelorhood and embrace marriage that day. He had been anticipating the moment since he met Mirabel two years ago and it was like a dream coming through. He arrived at the wedding venue. To his utmost surprise, there were cars parked outside the wedding hall. Not only that, the marriage seemed to be more elaborate than he had planned. "But we only invited a few of our friends and family. I didn't have any family to invite except my uncle. Who are these people? Did Mirable invite them or change the Wedding venue and forget to inform me?" He thought as he walked closer to the hall. His mouth was opened in agape when he saw the Wedding decorations. He can't afford such a decoration. It must have been decorated by one of the best event decorators in the city. He stopped at the entrance of the halls, calling his bride-to-be again. With what he saw, he was sure that it wasn't their wedding. Miracle refused to pick up the call, likewise her mother Alex was still standing outside the hall, holding the bouquet when he sighted a wedding banner He didn't know when his legs moved closer to the banner. It was pictures of his wife and only uncle that were there, along with their names. The bouquet fell from his hand. He couldn't believe what he just saw. "No, this can't be true. Something must have been wrong with my eyes" he murmured, cleaning his eyes repeatedly with his white handkerchief, hoping he had sight issues but all wrong. The pictures were real, likewise the names. "Where did I go wrong? Mirable spent the night with me last night, planning this wedding together with me. My uncle also had dinner with us and gave us a heavy envelope as a wedding gift. Could this be planned all along? Am I hallucinating now? Why would my uncle marry my fiance and vice versa? He is old enough to be her father! His first son was just two years younger than Miracle!" He thought as tears accumulated on his eyes lashes, threatening to fall but he sniffed then back in He needed to check with his two eyes! It might not be his fiance! He was doubting and confusion was written all over his face. He went to enter the wedding hall but was stopped by a bouncer who was standing gallantly at the entrance. "Can I see your invitation card?" The bouncer asked. "Invitation?" Alex repeated the same thing, seeming to be lost with the word "invitation". "This wedding is strictly by invitation, I'll advise you to leave if you weren't invited" The man added. Staring at the hefty man that was standing opposite him, Alex knew he had no chance with him. Proving to be stubborn will earn him nothing but a beating. He only tried to take a glimpse at the inner side of the wedding hall through the opened window. "I, Mirable Dickson, accept to marry Josh Williams as my lawfully wedded husband…" He heard Mirable taking her marriage vows and that alone has answered his curiosity. Upon hearing that, he fell on his buttocks, still in astonishment. "Why would she plan a wedding with me and get married to my uncle?" He murmured, asking no one in particular as he was shocked. Then she saw Mira's mom walking outside the hall, with smirks noticeable on her lips "My daughter's ex-fiance" she called and his jaw fell in shock!
