Chapter - 53 - Angel of death

"Am I speaking to Dr. Gianna Williams.?" came an attractive male voice through the phone. Rick lifted an eyebrow and thought, 'Another man? Why are only men calling her?' Rick looked at the confused face of Gianna and realized she didn't know the man who was talking to her.

"Yes, speaking." "Good evening Dr. Gianna. I am Sergeant Mason. We talked about an accident patient yesterday evening in the hospital lobby." Gianna remembered the police officer and replied, "Yes Sergeant, I remember. Are there any issues?"

"There would have been issues, if not you. Your tip saved a life. We found the assaulters and they are behind the bars now." said Mason. Rick was a bit annoyed because Mason was clearly flirting with Gianna. Only a man can understand another man so he was sure Mason was clearly trying to woo Gianna.

"Oh! That's great. Good work Sergeant!" Gianna said indifferently while applying the cream on Rick's cut. Rick looked at her and wondered what was going on in Gianna's mind. "Thank you, Dr. Gianna. You have a beautiful name." Gianna didn't respond to his compliment and Rick was jumping over the moon seeing her reaction.

On the other hand, Mason didn't expect that Gianna wouldn't respond to his compliment but still continued, "Actually I am in the lobby right now, can we have a cup of coffee?" Rick didn't like the man at all and felt like smashing his head.

"Thank you Sergeant but I am not at the hospital right now. If there is nothing else, good night." said Gianna and signaled Rick to hang up. Rick was stunned the way she wanted to hang up on him and quickly hung up before Mason could say something. Rick smirked and thought, 'Mason you want to have a cup of coffee with Gianna? Hahaha Not possible because I am having coffee with her!!!'

Gianna completed bandaging the cut and stood up to clean the mess when Rick asked, "What are you going to cook for dinner?" Gianna scoffed at him and walked away. Rick was shocked because he didn't know why she scoffed at him! He put his t-shirt back and texted Derrick. Rick: Those men were here. I'm safe. Derrick: Thank God! I will text later after making necessary arrangements.

Gianna's phone started to ring again and Rick peeked at her phone and saw a name 'Victor', 'Another man!!!' thought Rick as he saw Gianna attend the call. He was disappointed because he couldn't hear their conversation and strained his ears to listen to the conversation but to no avail.

"Dr.G, I have sent you a CT scan. Can you take a look at it?" asked Victor. "Hold on, let me have a look." said Gianna as she put the call in speaker mode and switched to her chatting app to take a look at the CT scan. She looked at it for a few moments and said, "What is your observation?" "A intracranial hemorrhage is seen on the left side of the brain," said Victor. Rick was happy when Gianna put the call on speaker and came to know that Victor was one of her juniors.

"Do you want the patient dead?" asked Gianna coldly in a raised voice. Rick and Victor were equally shocked by her sudden outburst of anger. "Don't you see anything on the right side?" asked Gianna through her gritted teeth. Rick thought, 'I can clearly sense a different vibe coming from her. What is it? Is she the angel of death? Oh my!! It's okay, she's still an angel.'

"It's an epidural bleeding, Dr.G!" exclaimed Victor. "Yes. Start the surgery within 20 minutes because the patient is 58 years old, so every minute counts. Tell Ralph to assist you and report to me after the surgery." said Gianna in a calm voice. Victor responded and hung up the call. Gianna took another look at the scan before opening the news app.

"You are the youngest neurosurgeon of Ascania!!!" exclaimed Rick looking at his phone. "Dr. Gianna Williams working in the most reputed hospital Silver Crest. Impressive! I feel honored to get treated by such a renowned surgeon!" said Rick looking at her with a twinkle in his eyes.

Gianna couldn't do anything to stop him from finding out about her details so she looked at him and said nonchalantly, "Honored? You should also feel guilty because of the free treatment." Rick smiled and asked, "I don't know why but I want to stay indebted to you." Gianna smirked and said, "I often do charity work." Rick let out a laugh and asked, "Aren't you curious to know about me?"

"No." said Gianna without even hesitating for a second. Rick was clearly taken aback by her attitude and muttered under his breath, "She talks to all the men out there but is not curious about such a handsome and well built man! What kind of woman is she?!" Rick gave a side glance and switched on the television.

Rick tuned the channel to an ongoing boxing match. Gianna slowly lifted her head and joined Rick to watch the match silently. "Do you like boxing?" asked Rick when he saw a twinkle in Gianna's eyes when she watched the match. "Don't ask me anything because I am not going to answer you." Rick nodded and continued to watch the match.

Meanwhile, the group of men in black suits, who were completely exhausted, gathered on the streets and reported their findings. The group's search was futile in the end and were extremely annoyed by Rick's disappearance.

The leader informed Mr. Ellerbrock about their search and also how two of their men met Dr. Gianna in one of the apartments. Mr. Ellerbrock was not happy about the result but didn't want to burden his men who worked hard for so long, so he told them to end the search and rest for the night.
