It's All About Ciara

"To be honest with you, you are not helping matters. You're making this more complicated than it already seems. How do I come in when you two won't stop arguing like kids?" Doctor Escobar raged. He just can't stay calm and watch George speak to him in that manner when the person he should be mad at is Kelly. 

"Okay. I apologize for whatever I must have said wrong," George finally took the responsibility upon himself after seeing how devastated Doctor Escobar had become. That kind of rage might affect George's healing process because Doctor Escobar might be too distracted to even proceed with the treatment.

"All I am saying is, I need you around me more than anyone else. As we speak, you are the most important person in my life," George added.

Seeing how emotional George was becoming, Kelly forced himself into their conversation as he volunteered, "I guess I should go fetch Dexter. I made a mistake kicking him out. I shouldn't have done that,"

Looking around, George asked. "You talking to me or someone else in this ward? You need to be more specific next time to avoid such mixed up like this,"

"Is this supposed to be a joke? Are you now making fun of me in the presence of the doctor? For crying out loud, we are both grown men. Can't we stay united for a second? Is that too much to ask?" Kelly frowned. He thought bringing up the suggestion would help embrace peace. Unfortunately for him, he just worsened the situation.

"I see where you're headed with this, and I won't let that happen. Don't worry about going to get Dexter. I am sure your daughter is doing an impressive job already," George responded and took his eyes off Kelly immediately. 

His major focus was Doctor Escobar. At that point, Kelly never mattered to him anymore.

"My daughter is doing a good Job? Under normal circumstances, I would have believed you. But guess what? My daughter isn't here at the moment. What does that tell you?"

"Nothing, Kelly. 

Absolutely nothing," George fired back at Kelly, gnashing his teeth. 

"This was all your fault, Kelly. If you hadn't kicked my son away like a piece of trash, we wouldn't have found ourselves in this complicated situation. Suddenly, you want to make it right? Damn you, Kelly. It's too late," George raked.

 The veins around his neck region popped out after the outrageous, causing him to cough. 

They all thought it was a joke until George kept coughing for minutes without a pause. 

"Hold on, are you okay?" Kelly rushed to meet George regardless of their little misunderstanding.

"Don't just stand there and look. Fucking do something about this," Kelly charged Doctor Escobar, who was confused about his next move despite having his thermometer hang around his neck. 

"Stay calm and let me think," he warded Kelly off and asked him to leave the ward.

"This is nothing but a mad joke. It can't be possible. Do you expect me to abandon my friend in a time like this?" Kelly argued. He was adamant to leave. 

"You're still not getting it, are you? 

I'm not asking you to abandon your friend. Would you rather stay and distract me, or you leave so I can save his life?" Doctor Escobar asked an important question that left Kelly thinking about his life. 

"Kelly, please do listen to the doctor. 

We don't have to argue over this," George pleaded with Kelly. The cough had stopped. However, he was still having some difficulty breathing properly. 

"You heard your friend, didn't you? 

What are you still waiting for?" Doctor Escobar took a jibe at Kelly to fuel the anger. 

Walking out of the ward, Kelly walked back to Doctor Escobar in slow motion and said. "If anything bad happens to my Friend, you will be held accountable. Just do a clean Job," Kelly walked outside afterward. 

"I apologize for what my friend did. 

I am pretty sure he didn't mean it," George pleaded. 

"Apologize?" Doctor Escobar laughed. 

"I don't see any reason you should do that. Come on, what Kelly did was remarkable. It's rare to see friends like that. You should count yourself lucky for having him in your life," Doctor Escobar concluded with a smile that seemed forced. 

"Thank you! 

Can we proceed now? 

I am afraid I might die in the next couple of minutes," George teased and they both laughed over it. 

"That son of a bitch. 

I was patiently waiting for him to say shit about me," Kelly groaned from outside after eavesdropping on their conversation. He might have exited the ward, but his soul was still with George. 

If Doctor Escobar hadn't kicked him out, he would have stayed back to witness George being treated. 

"I need to go find my daughter. 

She hasn't shown up yet. 

I don't trust Dexter around her. 

What if he hurts her?" Kelly thought out loud. Since he has been prohibited from entering the ward, he figured this was the best time to go find Ciara. 

"Please don't hurt me 

I don't want to die," Ciara cried. 

She wasn't able to figure out who was behind her. Neither was she brave enough to turn around and satisfy her curiosity. 

"What are you talking about? 

No one's hurting you,"

The person laughed. The voice sounded like Dexter's 

"Is that you?" 

Ciara asked. 

Slowly, she turned her head around. 

"Hell no. What did you just do? 

You almost scared the living daylight out of me," Ciara freaked out like a ten-year-old after discovering that it was Dexter all along. 

While Ciara frowned upon such a stunt, Dexter finds it quite hilarious as he mocked Ciara with wicked laughter. 

He has fun playing the fast one on Ciara. 

"I finally found you two. 

What's going on here?"

Kelly emerged from nowhere like a ghost to create tension in the minds of Ciara and Dexter. They couldn't tell if he witnessed everything that happened or if he just showed up.
