Working overnight

There was an accident in one of the junctions in the city and the hospital was full with patients streaming in. The ER was full and Evelyn, Jeff and other doctors had to help out. They were understaffed with the number of critically injured patents swarming in.

Evelyn and Jeff plus other surgeons did all the important surgeries that required emergency operation.

It was tough with the rush.

The other doctors helped out with other patients. Some of the patients that were slightly injured were treated and discharged to go home. The rest were treated and booked in to different wards.

For the whole night, Evelyn was busy to even get a look on her phone. There were calls from her father, mother in law as well as Martin.

The whole night, she was busy and got a chance to rest at dawn at the resting area in the hospital. She slept for two hours then went home to change. How she had missed working in the hospital. One of the reason she quit back then was because she wanted to give her husband all her time. It was hard to work as a doctor and have her family. She had let to let go one.

Now, coming back to work, she found her purpose of life again. When at the hospital, she feel peaceful and fulfilled but the thought of going back home traumatize her. She feels suffocated and lonely. That feeling of not wanting to go home overwhelm her. The nearer she got to her home the stuffier she felt. It was like heading into a dark chilly home with no warmth nor laughter. Like a witches castle covered in darkness

"This is crazy. Thomas, can you please drive to El Luna" she didn't want to step in her place knowing fully well it reminds her of a lot of things. Each day, she found it hard to stay there. She was thinking of buying a small house or an apartment at the city center somewhere near her work place as soon as the divorce is over. She wanted to live her life as a doctor and not get involve with politics anymore

"Okay ma'am"

In her suite, she didn't rest just thinking of the patients trickling in since the accident. She changed and went back to work. Just like last night they were busy dealing with other cases as well as trying to settle those with artificial injuries to go home.

While in one of her rounds in the evening, a nurse came looking for her. Martin was there to see her. He wasn't alone, he came with reporters. He was all smiles and happy showing the hospital and how busy the doctors work to save the lives of people.

He was busy showing around talking about giving healthcare as a priority is important. He saw her and pointed out to her "There she is…"

The reporters swarm at her with questions. Unlike she was before, she did not smile at them but rather looked at Martin in disapproval, "What is the meaning of this? Do you think this is the right place to play games? I don't like it when I get distracted from my work. Kindly show yourselves out.

"Darling, this is an impromptu visit. Even I was ambushed at the office." Martin pulled at her from the side and whispered on her ear.

" If you want an exclusive interview you have to schedule a meeting first. You are getting on our way of work. We have a lot to do today and patients are still streaming in. Kindly respect our work and give as space. Thank you" she didn't like to be so rude or unapproachable with the reporters but she was so pissed off. Indeed they were busy and she had a minor surgery to take care of in few minutes.

When it came to her work, she was so passionate and nothing could come between her and the work. Even Martin knew that. Whatever game he was playing only he knew about

" As you can see, healthcare is so important that my wife dedicated her life and health to it. She didn't even come home last night working here and still she has to go back to work. That's why, I said we need to improve on getting more staff and improving on the medical facilities. This way the doctors could have time to enjoy with their families. If you would excuse me, I will have a word with my wife. Thank you for today" He bowed slightly to them and walked away with her

Looking as cold as ever, they went to her new office thanks to a special someone. Here she could work as well as rest when she needs one instead of going to the resting lounge, "What's the meaning of this? Is this a new strategy to say I am neglecting you and spending my time at the hospital?' she could not take it and rose her voice. Martin just smiled and sat down

"Not at all darling. It's just a way of showing people why some marriages end due to too much work." He really was playing a game. He realized his wife had made up her mind and there was no turning back. He was not going to let her go without a fight. At least until he gets what he wants

Laughing out loud, Evelyn could not contain her amusement, "you really are showing your true colors. A scam of a person. Do you really want to turn this on me? Do you also think I will stay back and watch you take me down and tramp on me?" this time she got exactly what he meant. If she continue to file for a divorce, he was going to ruin her reputation and uphold his. This way, it could be seen she failed to keep her marriage

"That's not all. It seem you are pretty close to one doctor Jeff. Look at this" he threw pictures from his pocket on the desk. It was the same photos taken at the party, "It seem you are prepared to take me down. Go ahead I don't care."

"If you could come and endorse me among the elites this Friday we could talk about this and settle amicably. Unless you want to be seen as unfaithful woman to the public"
