DOCTORS: Ivan Dashwood

Chapter 17

He dumped the documents he's holding on his desk.

"What?"

I stared at my assistant in disbelief.

"Sir, gusto siyang kasuhan ng mga magulang ng bata. They believed that he became careless and rushed while doing the surgery causing their son's death just so he can attend a party. When he heard of he lawsuit , he caused a commotion at the burial  "

I massaged my forehead hearing his report.
Why the fuck am I getting unlucky today!
First , I cannot even call Adi since this afternoon and now this?

"Why the heck would Dr. Gonzales do that?!"

"I don't have any idea Sir"

"That brazen shithead. He dared to defy my orders, then good for him"

"What should we do then, Sir"

"Do? We are not gonna do anything, he deserved it anyway"

I took my phone, It rang this time but she isn't picking up.
Heck! What's wrong with her? Why is she not answering her phone.

"Sir, about the event..."

I stood up and reached out for my coat.
Looks like I dont have a choice.

"I'm not going, I have something to do tonight"

I cut him off and headed out of my office.

"Have a good night sir"

After a few rings, he answered his phone.

"Zion, I wan't my phone back dipshit"

He laughed  at me.

"No can do brother"

"It's something urgent, I badly want it back dude"

He sighed.
"We'll both get into trouble when mom finds out about this"

"C'mon, no one will know. I just need someone's assistance —"

"You mean help?"

I rolled my eyes as I reached the ground floor.

"Asshole just give it back. I wont do anything rash this time"

"Okay, I'll send it over"

Kanina pa ako nakatitig sa kawalan. Kating kati na ang kamay kong tawagan si Ivan, pero tuwing naiisip ko ang maaring mangyari pinanghihinaan ako ng loob. I'm staying at JL's house, temporarily. Ang sabi nila papa at mama, kapag nasiguro na nila nahuli na ang buong miyembro ng Mafia na iyo ay saka lang uli ako makaka alis dito.

Napalingon ako sa pintuan ng pumasok si JL.

"Oy inumin mo na daw gatas mo"

Inilapag niya isang baso ng gatas sa table.
Umilaw nanaman ang cellphone ko.
He's calling again..

"Hindi mo ba sasagutin?"

Agad ko itong dinampot at ibinulsa.
"Kelan kapa naging usisero JL?"

Tumawa lang siya. "Tsk, kung talagang ayaw mong makausap siya edi sana pinatay mo ang telepono mo para hindi ka niya matawagan."

Huminga ako ng malalim.
"That's the only way I can assure myself na okay lang siya, na okay lang sila"

"By what? Calling you pero hindi mo sinasagot? Mas nag aalala lang sila sayo Adrianne"

hinawakan niya ang mga kamay ko.
"Makinig ka. After 18 and a half year, naka hanap ka uli ng mga taong nagpapasaya at mag papasaya sayo. You found your guy, you cant just cut them off, you cant just stop seeing them, talking to them and being with them just because of that freaking Mafia. It's been so long Adrianne, dont deprive yourself the happiness you deserve"
