Operation

The maid who left Samantha's room went towards Asher's room. She knocked on the door and the answer was as she expected.

"Come in"

"Master"

"How is she behaving?"

"Nothing wrong for now but she is quite comfortable here Master"

"Well, why wouldn't she? She has the backing of Old master Hall"

"Master, so do you still plan on observing her?"

"Hm. Continue to observe her"

After his answer, the maid went outside and closed the door. She went towards the kitchen and started doing her work.

It was midnight. Everyone was sleeping while a ring ringed on Samantha's phone. Reluctantly Samantha opened her eyes and looked at the white caller id which made her feel like he was seeing the sun. She lifted the call and in a very sleepy voice said, "Hello?"

But the other person on the call was anxious and tensed and said, "Sam! There is an emergency in the hospital. You must come here as soon as possible"

"What? Today is not my duty and isn't Doc Feliz on duty today?"

"Doc Feliz's elder sister is in labour so he took a leave today. The patient is in critical condition. I know we can't change the operators but this is an emergency so you have to operate."

Samantha was now fully up "Alright, I'll be at the hospital in twenty minutes" and cut the call.

Samantha got ready and drove the car to the hospital.

But she never knew that someone was watching her go. Asher said, "Hm, She is going outside in the middle of the night? What is she up to?"

"Boss, do you want me to follow her?" Came the voice of another man. He was not the butler but the personal assistant of Asher, Albert.

"It's fine. We thought not to intervene in each other's lives. Even if she goes to meet a man, that's none of my concern."

"But Boss….. Madam is your wife"

"In the name. She is my wife in name. She was used as a trade object and I have no intention of loving or having an actual marital affair with her."

At Ablecare Hospitals, everyone was busy, some were taking care of the patients, some were looking at the patients, some were settling the disputes with the patients and somewhere in the emergency ward. Samantha went towards the cardiac operating room. She told the nurses, "Prepare for the operation in fifteen minutes."

After saying she went toward her room and wore her blue scrub. She took her gloves and mask and went towards the operating room. She stood in front of the operating room, took a deep breath and then went inside.

The operation lasted for many hours. The family of the patient was outside praying, anxious about what is about to happen. They only wanted their precious son to live. One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours and finally Samantha came outside after removing her gloves and her mask.

As soon as she came outside, the family surrounded her and started asking about the condition of the patient. Samantha smiled and replied, "Don't worry. Everything is alright. The operation was successful." The family breathed a sigh of relief. "He is going through a critical period. We need to keep him in observation for sex hours" she added.

"Will he be like he was, happy and cheerful?" his mother questioned with tears in her eyes.

"He may be. If not it's fine. There is a lot of time. You guys can stay with him and cheer him up till he becomes his old self."

"Will he survive?" his father who is still in shock that his son was alive asked

"The operation was a success and there is a ninety per cent chance. So please don't worry about it."

"Thank you, doctor, thank you for saving my son. I can't thank you enough" his father thanked Samantha with tears rolling from his eyes

"We are just doing our job," said Samantha as she gave a friendly smile.

After finishing the formalities, Samantha went towards her office and fell on the white sofa in her office.

"Ha! Finally, I have finished this! It's already five in the morning. Maybe I'm going to sleep here now. I'm too lazy to drive back. This place is better than going home. I can at least have a good amount of sleep."

But after some time, that means when the office hours are about to start, someone Samantha's door. Samantha woke up due to the knock and said, "Come in"

It was Cindy. "Hey, I've got these documents that you have to sign," she said in a playful voice.

Samantha got up from the sofa and went towards the desk where there was a computer, a keyboard, a mouse and many documents and said, "I got it. Put it on the desk. I'll sign them after having a cup of coffee."

"You are drinking coffee on an empty stomach again! It won't be good if you continue this habit" Cindy angrily said.

"It's alright. I have a gastroenterologist to take care of my stomach anyway", she said and winked.

"Though I can treat your stomach disorders, you have to be careful. Haven't you heard this? 'Prevention is better than cure.' you have to take care of yourself."

"Alright, alright I get it but why is it you who delivered the documents?"

"Haha, I snatched it from Maria. She was having her breakfast when the director asked her to send you these files. I was coming to you anyway so I thought I would bring them here."

Samantha yawned and said, "Hey, can I have my coffee now?"

"Uh-huh, not yet. First, eat this" and Cindy gives a cover to Samantha which is supposed to contain breakfast.

Samantha took the cover and saw there were pancakes inside and exclaimed, "Pancakes! How did you know that I haven't eaten?" opening the box of pancakes and savouring the taste of them

"My pretty baby, you are a workaholic. You put your patients' lives before your health. I know you very well. Eat it and then you can have your coffee half an hour later."

"Yes Ma'am!"

"Haven't you slept lately?"
