Abigail and her friends entered into hospital’s center area, their eyes were searching for the way they have to go, reading each plate outside the door Abigail’s eyes fall on the reception desk where a young girl was talking on a call.

She nudged Chloe and walked slowly to the receptionist, girl smiled at her and asked for a few minutes using her fingers, Abigail nods to her and her eyes wandered at her surrounding.

The city hospital was built on a large area and has all updated equipment, they work hard to maintain their services and make sure their patient left the hospital healthy and satisfied.

“Hello, how may I help you?” getting free from the call, the girl asked her in a sweet and soft voice.

“Yes please, today is my first day here as a doctor and I don’t know where I have to report. Can you guide me” Kimberly and Chloe were at vending machine picking chips and chocolates for them to eat later.

“Oh sure” the girl called another girl and ask her to take them to the office of the manager.

Thanking her Abigail and her friends followed the girl, who seems like a chatter box and has done almost sort of an interview of all three by the time they reach at front of the office door, the girls closed their eyes in joy.

“Okay, here is the office, have a nice day girls” bidding bye to them she went away.

“Thank God” placing her hand on her forehead and another on his back Kimberly took a relaxed breath.

“Shall we go inside?” Chloe asked them her eyes on both one by one.

“Yup, let’s go” and they entered into manager’s office confidently.

Charlotte was sitting on the chair near the bed, an old man was laying on the bed, coughing after every minute and she offer a glass of water to him to fade the coughing but he denies it every time.

“Raphael you should drink water, look at yourself how badly you are coughing” Charlotte grabbed his wrinkled hand in her soft hands.

“We all miss her she is gone from this world but is and always will be alive in our hearts” Charlotte’s words formed tears in his eyes which flowed from the corner going all way in his ears.

“Adele” Raphael whispered but charlotte listened due to the closeness and quietness in the room.

Charlotte wiped the tears that were rolling down from her cheeks when Nicholas and Marco stepped into the room, they glanced at their father, sadness filled in their eyes.

“How is he now?” Nicholas asked his mother and sat in a bed near Raphael’s foot.

“The day Adele died in that accident your father is not fine. His condition is getting worse.” Charlotte blubbers.

“No mom please control yourself, if you will get sick who will look after this house and business” Marco clasped her hand.

“I am tired, since her death, I am controlling myself, showing everyone, I am stronger but inside it is eating me, I am dying” she rests her head on Marco’s shoulder crying.

There was no change in Raphael’s position, he was listening to their conversation, and their grief, however, he never responds to them and his condition is since that accident news he heard.

Nicholas and Marco exchange looks and Marco signaled him to go ahead, clearing his throat Nicholas called her,

“Mom, we are thinking of changing a doctor for him, might be the doctor is not doing his job properly” Charlotte listened to him.

“Do you have any doctor?” she asked.

“Yeah, city hospital had offered me some doctors service we can look into them and can select whom we found better” Charlotte’s gaze was on her husband, she felt helpless at this moment, nonetheless she agreed to their suggestion and give them go ahead.

Both brothers stood from the bed kissed their father on his forehead and left the room leaving Charlotte with her husband.
