The Look In His Eyes: Dr. Ronald's Secret

Dr. Ronald was a 22-year-old gentleman. He had blue eyes and raven black hair. He had a perfect body and was very handsome. In fact, every female in the hospital admired him not just for his good looks but also due to his outstanding skills as a doctor.

His background was mysterious but Pearl had heard some of the nurses say that he came from an affluent family. All in all, he was every woman's dream man, all except for Pearl. Pearl didn't like socializing much and mostly kept to herself, so the female nurses hardly associated themselves with her. She felt sad about their attitude towards her but gradually got used to it. She was a beauty but that shouldn't be the reason why they should treat her coldly. She would rather not befriend them at all.

Knock!

Knock!

"Come in" Pearl walked in. Dr. Ronald had a pleasant voice but Pearl was not the least bit attracted to it. She greeted him politely with a smile. He could be considered as her only friend in this hospital. Dr. Ronald had been helpful to her especially during her internship period. She couldn't fathom his friendliness towards her but she was grateful for it. "Oh it's you. Please have a seat." Dr. Ronald diverted his attention from his work upon realizing whom had come in.

Pearl declined softly and made him aware of the purpose of her visit. "The patient in VIP Room 1 has woken up. His blood pressure is back to normal and his temperature is normal as well." She concluded in one breath. She looked up, only to find Ronald staring at her. His gaze was too profound; somewhat like someone staring at his beloved. "Dr. Ronald, you can check on him now."

Her statement brought him out of his daze. He readjusted his emotions so that Pearl wouldn't notice anything. But he was a bit too late for that. He noticed her frowning slightly; hence he explained himself. "I was thinking about someone. I apologize for my lack of concentration." Ronald said, trying to cover up his embarrassment. Pearl found his actions quite funny but to prevent further embarrassment on his part, she nodded to prove that she wasn't bothered at all.

"So he's in love with someone" She thought in amusement.
