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.
Ashley anxiously approached Mr Manchester's bedroom, she wondered what he wanted to talk to her about. Today was her first day at the hospital, she knew he'd obviously want to hear the gist about how her day went and how she managed to cope with the new environment.Her relationship with her grandfather was the best amongst all of his other grandchildren. Ashley was glad about that, she really wanted to do things to win his heart and let him love her the most. Not because of the inheritance, but because she wanted to secure a space in the family.She was treated as if she didn't belong there, her step siblings didn't even like her. If not for Lily, she wouldn't have felt welcomed into the family. Ashley tried not to think about it that much, she decided to focus on her work and making grandpa proud of her.Ashley knocked on the door and shortly, she got a response to come in. She did, and to her greatest surprise, Mr Manchester was laying on his bed looking very pale. Just earlier tha
The door of the huge luxurious bedroom was pushed open by Ashley, and the moment she went inside, Ashley pulled off her coat and hung it on the stand She took off her heel. Her legs hurt so much. Ashley dropped her handbags and she finally proceeded towards the bed to rest. She's had a long day at the hospital. Ashley slowly massaged her legs, she thought about checking the spa during the weekend to get a better body massage. It had been quite a long time since she had one. Trying to catch up with the activities of the hospital, since she had just been transferred from the states wasn't easy for her. There were so many patients to attend to and documents to sort out.Ashley had more and more patients flock around her office today wanting to see her for either one consultation or the other. After what they've seen her do, they now believe that she was some messiah sent from heaven to heal the sick.Ashley had a bath prepared for her which she soaked herself in, it was winter and the
Ashley hadn't exited the hallway, she was almost seen by Justin when he turned. She tried to hide and she ended up twisting her foot and hurting herself. She wanted to yell but something covered her mouth.It seemed like someone's hands. The same hands pulled her into a corner, pinning her on the wall and leaning his face bear hers, the man used his body to block Justin's view and he was unable to see Ashley.Justin saw the couple, he hissed and passed. It wasn't his concern at all. The man in front of Ashley was the most handsome she'd ever seen, his body build was out of the world. He was huge and talk with a fine face, thick eyebrows, thin lips and sharp jawline. A Greek god.If he wasn't putting on a lab coat, Ashley would've mistaken him for a model. But the man in front of her seemed to be a doctor in the hospital.Ashley wanted to thank him for saving her but realization dawned on her. How did he know who she was running from and why did he save her? To make things all worse,
