'Anna scolded Evan'

Anna was sitting on the sofa inside Ethan's ward, patiently waiting for the latter's brother. Her fingers were tapping on the table beside her, there was a pin drop silence inside the ward. Anna was tired because of her yesterday's trek, she needs rest.

Anna leaned her head on the sofa and closed her eyes, Ethan saw this and instructed the nurse to make no movements; it was oblivious to everyone that she was tired yet came here. Suddenly, the ward door opened and Ethan saw Jeffrey entering; he signaled him to be quiet. But Anna was light sleeper; a slight movement is enough to wake her up much what a door opening.

She pressed the space between her brows and stood up, she looked at the new face and asked. "You're the patient's brother?" uncertainty was clear in her voice.

Jeffrey shook her head and said politely. "Dr Anna, you can trust me and; can tell me about his condition." He sounded calm and gave out a friendly smile.

Anna returned the smile asked. "May I know your name please?"

"Jeffrey Han." He answered.

"your relationship with patient?" Anna asked again.

"Well, his elder brother is my friend cum boss; Ethan is like my younger brother too." He was still smiling at Anna.

"So, if we were to have another important surgery on Ethan, will you be signing the hospital permission related documents? As he is like YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER too." Anna's tone was no longer amiable, but sharp and cold.

Jeffrey instantly answered. "NO." but then realized something and tried to explain. "Actually, Dr Ann.…." Anna cut him off in middle and said. "Then, please don't go claiming everyone as your kin; and waste other's time." She sat back, leaned her head and once again closed her eyes. She was too tired to repeat it again when Ethan's elder brother will come.

Jeffrey was stunned by Anna, he wanted to refute her statement but nothing came as a potential reply to him. He looked towards Ethan who shook his head disappointingly at him. Jeffrey was now speechless by the situation. So, he too sat on the stool near Ethan and waited for Evan.

.....

Half hour later,

Evan entered inside Ethan's ward, he looked towards his brother's bed and saw him shaking his head to him. He frowned and looked towards the direction Ethan was pointing at, he was shocked and went still.

Anna heard the movements and saw a handsome man standing in front of her, she can deduce with the resemblance in features of this man and Ethan. He was the older brother of Ethan, Anna felt it's a pity to lash on such a beauty, but her professionalism came in between reminding her about the situation.

Anna asked him. "Introduce yourself." Her words were indifferent.

Evan came out of his shock after hearing Anna, and hurriedly replied. "Evan Wright, 25 years old; Head of World Wide Group. Have a big nice family; one sibling, my net worth is ….." he was halfway interrupted by Anna.

"Do you think I'm playing your matchmaker here, who needs your net worth info. is it too hot outside, Do you need water, hmm?" she was amused and confused by his long intro of himself. And handed him a glass of water from the table.

Ethan and Jeffrey laughed out loud in amusement, Anna looked at them and bit her lower lip to stop laughing but a smile slipped from it. Even the hospital staff present started chuckling in a low voice.

Evan saw the people around him laughing and realized his stupidity and the mess he made out of himself. He has embarrassed himself in front of her; when he saw Anna biting her lip to control her giggles, he reminded of the feeling of her lips from that time; he suddenly had an urge to kiss her.

He was shocked by his sudden thought and came out of stupor and glared at his brother and staff to stop them. The atmosphere calmed down in an instant and everyone turned silent except Anna.

He realized that Anna didn't seem to remember him; he stared intensely at her, but she looked at him as if staring at a stranger. He remembered about the dysfunction of lights inside his suit room; he released a breath he didn't know he was holding. He was suddenly in a good mood but his fantasy shattered by her.

Anna asked him again. "Introduce your relationship with the patient here?" she regained her composure and was serious now, everyone felt that and turned towards Evan.

Evan too calmed himself and spoke. "Patient's biological elder brother, Evan Wright." He has a serious look on his face too.

"Very well then, without wasting time tell me; do you personally checked the medicines prescribed to your brother and consulted about them with the Doctor." Anna's voice was low and ice cold.

Everyone present there felt the temperature went down around them, they eagerly watched both of them with anxious expressions.

Evan wondered what went wrong and shook his head at Anna and said. "No, I was attending a call from a company director because of an important project." He answered truthfully.

Anna asked him. "After the call, did you ask or told any doctor about his respective allergic reactions towards some medical drugs?... or did you check his medicines after his complaint about dizziness and pain?" her questions were straight forward and on the point.

Evan felt himself at loss by her questions and said in a low voice. "No, I asked my assistant to check on him."

Anna's patience ran out with his answer and she scolded him outright there. "Didn't you call yourself most responsible brother and us doctors unqualified and irresponsible? Then, should we learn to be responsible just like you? I will dare not try; my profession is way critical to allow me do such RESPONSIBLE works." She was glaring at him.

"You could have given me a note or message while leaving, I didn't get any!!!" Evan has no particular memory for such incident.

Anna laughed in anger. "My fault, huh? Nurse Flora, I would like you to give Mr. Wright an idea about his mistake." She signaled the nurse.

Evan was trying hard to remember, but nothing worked. Nurse Flora came ahead and said. "Mr. Wright, I gave you a paper sheet when you received a call from some Mr. Hale. You threw the sheet directly in the dustbin and asked us to leave the room."

Evan remembered the time, and felt he was truly at fault. He dared not see into eyes of Anna who was glaring at him. He suddenly remembered that he hasn't asked about her from start to end but was getting verbal lashing from her.
