MORNING VISIT

Lycia's night shift ended this morning, and she was finally able to go home to rest her tired body.

Not many patients came to the emergency room last night, and she couldn't complain that she was very exhausted this morning. Nonetheless, she knew that it was still best for her to rest when she had time.

Taking off her white coat, she then prepared to go home so her aching back could quickly meet the soft bed in her room.

She was very grateful that she was living alone in an apartment not far from the hospital now. At least, when she could finally reach her residence, she wouldn't have to listen to her parents nagging about her being forever single.

At least once a week she would visit her parents' house, and that meant, once a week she had to receive a lecture from her parents about her quiet life without a partner.

However, Lycia was just trying to listen to the scolding without absorbing it and keeping it in her heart. She would die young if she thought too much about how she should get married when she didn't even have a boyfriend right now.

Sighing in misery, Lycia was walking down the corridor when she suddenly remembered something. The thing she just remembered caused her to stop in her tracks, and she looked confused for a moment.

"I guess I have to meet someone before I go home," she muttered to herself after serious consideration.

It wasn't mandatory for her to meet that person, but she had something to discuss with the person that caused her to change the direction of her feet in the end.

She had decided to put off her plans to return home soon so she could rest immediately, and her feet finally stopped once more when she arrived in front of one of the closed wooden doors in the hospital.

Attached to the polished door was a plaque with two lines written on it.

Dr. Breyno Collins

Neurologist

She did want to see the doctor, and even if it was still quite early, she knew that the doctor was in his room because he was a very dedicated doctor who always came very early for his morning shift.

Having said that, Lycia didn't hesitate as she raised her hand to knock on the wooden door. After hearing a familiar voice allowing her in, she immediately turned the doorknob before pulling the door open.

The door opened, revealing a male doctor sitting behind his desk. Closing the door once more, Lycia smiled when she saw the young doctor busy with the newspaper in his hands.

"You'd better fill your stomach with breakfast before filling your mind with news from the newspapers, doctor," Lycia spoke to the doctor in a teasing tone as she brought her feet to the doctor's desk, and she sat across from the doctor when the doctor finally took his eyes off the newspaper.

"Oh! It's Dr. Henderson who becomes my first visitor today!" Exclaimed the male doctor enthusiastically as he neatly folded the newspaper and placed it on the table again.

The pair of yellow eyes focused on the female doctor, and Lycia burst out laughing when she saw how the doctor behaved like an obedient child in the face of his beloved teacher.

Breyno was her senior at college, and he was three years older than her. Therefore, he was also her senior at the hospital.

Their relationship was good. As a junior, Lycia often sought advice from Breyno, and as a senior, the man was willing to share whatever he knew with his junior.

And that was the reason why Lycia had decided to postpone her perfect schedule to sleep at home soon this morning. That was because she had something to discuss with her senior.

"I just finished my night shift, doctor. And I had an interesting patient last night. That's why I wanted to see you today," Lycia got straight to the point because she didn't want to delay her perfect schedule any longer.

"Oh?" The senior doctor responded. "What kind of interesting patient managed to bring this beautiful doctor into my room this morning?"

Lycia laughed when she heard how the male doctor was joking. "I'm not sure if you will know him, but my patient is famous actor Davel Clayton."

Even she didn't know the actor, and Lycia didn't have high expectations that a busy doctor like Breyno would know about the actor.

"Davel Clayton?" The male doctor asked with a frown before once again bringing his hands to unfold the newspaper on the table. "You mean, this one?" He continued as he pointed his finger at one of the newspaper pages.

Lycia focused her hazel eyes on the page, then she gasped, "So, he's really famous."

Breyno finally laughed at the girl's reaction. "It was you who didn't know about him before he came to your door last night, right?"

Lycia wasn't planning to lie because she indeed knew nothing about Davel Clayton until last night. Now when she saw how big the headline in the newspaper was about the actor who had just won an award, she had to admit that she was no different than a caveman.

"You're right, doctor. I didn't know anything about him before he came to the emergency room last night," the black-haired doctor admitted defeat. "And that's the reason why I rushed to see you this morning, doctor. There's something wrong with him, and I want you to check on him."

Breyno furrowed his brows when he heard Lycia's words, and the female doctor decided to give a brief explanation of Davel's situation. The male doctor looked confused, but he then agreed with the female doctor to give the patient a morning visit earlier than scheduled.

And that was when Lycia finally entered Davel's VIP ward again, but this time, she brought her senior with her.

"Good morning, Mr. Clayton. I visited you this morning to introduce you to the doctor who will be in charge of you during your stay in this hospital."
