CHAPTER THIRTEEN

I WAS on my way to the cosmetic surgeon, alone as I wished and Kelvin was on a weekend trip with his girlfriend. Apparently, he took my advice and things were well again between he and his girlfriend. When I saw a sign with the hospital name on it, I found a space to park my car. I went through the entrance and walked towards the receptionist, she looked up from the computer and welcomed me with a bright smile. I talked to her about my visit and she gave me some pamphlets to study while I waited in a waiting area for the specialist.

The hospital looked identical to the last one I saw. White walls, the choking smell of disinfectant in the air and a solemn look on people's faces as they waited around. I waited for nearly an hour before I was told to go into the doctor's office. I closed the door behind me and saw the doctor washing his hands at a nearby sink.
