After five days~

It has been five fucking days after that embarrassing incident, since then Lavender haven't spoken except for the conversations we had about work.

I shouldn't have told like that. God knows, what had gotten into me that day, whatever I did went wrong, I blurted out unnecessarily. It was a terrific day.

A knock was heard.

"Come in"
I shouted.

The door creaked open and Marshall walked in.

"Hi Ryle!"
He sat down infront of me.

"What are you doing here?"
I was somewhat surprised to see him here, in the hospital.

"Yeah, what you are not happy to see me?"
He raised his brow at me.

"It's not like that."

"Then how is it like?"
He looked at me with a grin.

"Why are you here  Marshall?"

"Why didn't you come for dinner that night?"

"Umm.."

"Yes?"
He asked.

"I had an emergency duty"
I replied back. Well, I didn't have any emergency duty, infact I left early.

"What kind of emergency? Drinking?"
He looked at me with concerned eyes.

"No, I didn't drink that day."

"Then why did you not visit? Trust me Ryle, I believe you."

"It's not about you trusting Marshall, its about others too."

His gaze was now softened, as his eyes looked at me with the same concern it had before, when he talked, laughed, joked when nothing had happened.

"Can you come home tonight?"

"I mean..."

"Not for dinner but then atleast a cup of coffee, we really wanted to talk with you."

"Umm...okay"
I was reluctant but by his voice it sounded kind of nice.

"Okay then see you. Bye!"
He left.

I was taken aback by him a little. This was the first time Marshall had paid me a visit by coming to my workplace after my divorce with Lily.

Sure we were bestfriends, but after that incident I detached myself from him. But today, it felt nice to speak to him, even if at first I was a little hesitant.

"Dr.Ryle"
I heard a panicked voice from outside calling out my name.

"Come in"

Gloria stepped in unsteady moves.

"Yes Gloria?"

"The patient of Cabin no.5 is not being able to inhale the oxygen. Please come fast."
She left my cabin running.

Good god, I was afraid of this! And this happened!

I got up from my seat and ran towards Cabin no.5.

"Ryle"
Lavender spoke and looked at me with her calm eyes as I entered.

"Yes"
I replied to her and glanced at the monitor the heart rate was fluctuating.

"Bring the defibrillator"
I ordered.
.
Okay, I did this earlier but someone beside was making me nervous by her face. Lavender, she looked pale and was looking terrified.
