Ashley twirled on her chair as she went through a recovering patient’s file. She was pleased with herself at how fast the patient was recovering from surgery.It was one of the things she loved about herself, the fact that each and everyone of her patients always recovered healthily.She was distracted at the sudden intrusion caused by Chase as he stood in front of her, two cups of coffee in hand and a broad smile across his face.“Scalding expresso for the lady and creamy with ice for me,” he said, placing Ashley’s coffee on the table for her.Ashley made a face of disgust as Chase revealed he was drinking cold coffee!“Surely there should be some sort of punishment for drinking something as awful as that,” she retorted, taking her hot coffee and having a sip.Ashley hummed in satisfaction as it tasted exactly how she liked her coffee.“You’re welcome,” Chase said smugly with a smirk on his face.“Okay? What are you still doing here?” Ashley questioned.“Having a conversation with a
Ashley had woken up earlier than usual but she couldn’t bring herself to get up from the bed as she stared at the ceiling in her room.She was tired and lacking sleep but somehow, sleep wouldn’t come. Each day Ashley woke up in her grand room, she couldn’t always believe it.Sometimes it felt like she was in a dream and soon everything would end but when she gets up and begins to get ready for work, she realizes it’s all real.Ashley sighed deeply as she closed her eyes.In all this, she wished she could remember her parents. Her grandfather had offered to show her a family album which had pictures of her parents but Ashely wasn’t sure if she was ready to see them yet.Knowing that they had died in a horrible way always made her cry.“Not today Ashley. You have patients to attend to,” Ashley said aloud to herself as she blinked away the tears in her eyes.As always, after she was done getting ready and having breakfast alone at the dining area, Ashley went to her grandfather to see hi
If there was anything Alex considered himself to be, it wasn’t being a dumbass like his sister Cassandra. He kept staring at the numerous reports that’s been filed against her annoymously. Most of which were about verbal abuse. If a thing like this ever got to get out from the hospital to the ears of their grandfather or even the press, their grandfather wouldn’t think twice in kicking her out of the will.Why couldn’t she understand that?She was lucky he was the one handling this report and not Ashley. “Please be quick Alex. I don’t have all day,” Cassandra said shabbily as she walked into his ofifce.He tried his best not to lose his cool as he threw the numerous files of complaint at her.“Here. Read them,” he gritted out.“What’s this?” Cassandra asked, looking through them.“They’ve been numerous complain about you Cassandra. What the hell is your problem? It’s like you’re working overtime to make sure that Ashley girl gets everything. Is that what you want?” He growled out at
Immediately the young nurse left Ashley's office, Cassandra, who was standing right outside the office pulled her into a corner“Have you given them to her to sign?” Cassandra asked the nurse.The nurse nodded and handed the files over to her. “Yes”.Cassandra smirked as she took the file, walking back to her office.Meanwhile Ashley was preparing to get into surgery. She was done reading the file of the patient and all that was left was for her partner doctor chose to show up.“Why isn’t he here yet?” She asked one of the nurses who shrugged her shoulders.“I need someone to go get Doctor Chase,” she said to the nurse.“What sort of doctor doesn’t know the time of his surgery?” She breathed out disgusted that chase wasn’t putting a patient first.Just then Chase walked into the theatre.“I’m sorry. Can we begin?” He asked.Ashley looked him over in a disgusted manner. “Did you read the file of the patient? Are you even ready for this surgery?” She scolded, not caring about the other
Mr Manchester was still in his sick bed that morning, and a doctor had come to give him some medications and examined his health Incase of any dangers or improvements. Alexander and Cassandra arrived in his bedroom after a few minutes, they met the doctor attending to him. Alex was the first to take his seat before Cassandra did. From the looks on the doctor's face, Mr Manchester seemed to have been improving in his health. “Grandpa, how do you feel?” Alexander asked, although he wasn't expecting Mr Manchester to respond because of how weak he looked but the old man did reply to him.“Alex, child. I'm fine..” he said, Cassandra moved closer to him and held his hands tight. She put on a sympathetic look on her face and said. “Grandpa, please recover soon. We miss you at the company” she said to him.Mr Manchester smiled a bit. “The hospital and our company have been left in your hands. I expect you all to join forces together and work on it” he said.It wasn't what Cassandra was aimi
It was yet another morning and when Ashley woke up, she realized that she had slept in Mr Manchester's bedroom. Later during the previous night, she had returned to check on his health and Ashley decided to stay with him for a while. She didn't expect to fall asleep while sitting near him.Ashley stood up and left the bedroom quietly. Hector had always complained that Mr Manchester barely slept at night. But she noticed that he didn't even wake up while he was asleep.Did his keeping of late night have to do with him being alone in the bedroom? Maybe he wanted someone to stay with him in bed, that was why he never slept. And when she decided to stay with him, he successfully fell asleep until that moment.Ashley returned back to her bedroom, she stretched her back on her way there. She had slept in a wrong position overnight and it affected her badly. Ashley reached her bedroom, and just as she placed her hand on the knob in order to open the door, she heard someone call out her name.
