“That was so unprofessional of you, Dr Wright!” Dr Cullen angrily yelled.
“I’m sorry.” Kimberly nervously apologized.
“Sorry? You’re sorry? We almost lost a patient because of your negligence!”
Kimberly was aware of the fact that she made a terrible mistake back there in the operating room. If they hadn’t struggled to get her full attention back on the surgery, she would have lost her patient, which has never happened before.
“I know I made a mistake and I’m sorry, but I still saved the patient’s life. That’s what matters.” She tried to defend herself as she was already in tears because she hated being yelled at.
“Are you even listening to yourself?.. I never expected such from you.” Dr Cullen said, his voice heavy with disappointment causing Kimberly to feel even worse.<
“Roy?!” Kimberly gasped as she stared in shock at her mate. Her mind was playing tricks on her, she concluded, shutting her eyes once again.'This is another hallucination, Kim. Don’t get your hopes up' she internally said to herself, getting herself prepared for another round of disappointment.She opened her eyes once more, and to her greatest surprise, Roy was still there, just inches away from her.“Kimberly” he called, oh so gently, bringing tears to her eyes.‘Could this be real?’ she wondered, slowly stretching out her arm, in attempt to touch him.She flinched away when her fingers lightly touched his arm, not wanting to believe that this is real.It took her a few seconds to actually believe that it was indeed real, and the minute she accepted it, she engulfed him in a tight hug, with uncontrollable tears rol
Kimberly’s breath hitched at the sight of her father.“Can you explain to me, what is going on here?” Mr. Wright asked with a raised eyebrow, staring directly at his daughter who was a nervous wreck.Wasn’t he supposed to be asleep? Kimberly’s subconscious asked, still finding it difficult to answer her dad’s question. She opened her mouth to say something but no words could come out.'You can do this, Kim. Just tell him the truth. Besides, he knows about their kind, so it should be easy.' She encouraged herself, finally picking up the courage to speak.“Dad, um. I-I, um. This is Roy, my m-mate.”'Way to go, Kim. That was quite courageous.' She mentally face palmed.Mr. Wright couldn’t believe what he just heard. He could feel his heart shattering into a million pieces from Kimberly’s r
“Hey Dad. Good morning.”Kimberly greeted her dad while making pancakes for breakfast, as he walked into the kitchen.“Morning sweetie.” her dad replied, giving her a kiss on her cheek before sitting on one of the breakfast stools.“Here you go.” Kimberly said, placing a plate of pancakes, bacon and fried eggs with a cup of coffee before him.“Thanks love.” he thanked her then began eating.Minutes later, she joined him with her own breakfast.Kimberly stole glances at her dad while they ate in silence. Her dad was her world, he was her everything and the only family she has after the death of her mom. Actually, she never had the opportunity to meet her mom in person because she died after giving birth to her, so the only memory she has of her mom and the only way she knew what her mom looked like were through t
Kimberly was walking through the hallway of the hospital, heading for the director's office when she heard someone call her name.“Dr. Wright, Dr. Wright !” Kimberly turned around and saw a nurse running towards her.“I’m so sorry to bother you.” The nurse said, panting heavily making Kimberly wonder how long she had been running.“Hold on, take a deep breath and tell me what’s wrong.” Kimberly said to the nurse, who nodded and did as she was told before speaking up once more.“I only wanted to give you the medical report of the patient in room 406, you asked me to prepare.”“Oh that, thanks.” Kimberly replied when the nurse was done with her explanation. The nurse handed her the medical report before Kimberly resumed on her way to the director’s office.She arr
Kimberly was literally exhausted by the time her shift was over but what kept her going was the fact that Ian was returning that day and she was the one to go pick him up from the Naval Base which was an hour and a half's drive from the hospital.Staring at the letter of leave of absence in her hands, she couldn’t help but smile to herself. She would have her fiancé all to herself for the next two weeks, without having to worry about anything as regards to her work. Just the thought of having her fiancé back after more than half a year of being apart made her smile grow wider. She felt like squealing like a teenager but held herself back so she doesn’t attract some unwanted attention to herself.She decided not to waste any more time daydreaming about Ian and tidy her desk since her shift was already over and she had a long drive ahead of her. Once she was done tidying her desk, she left her off
Kimberly felt goosebumps all over her body as she drove into the Naval Base. She was really nervous about seeing Ian after such a long time. She couldn’t help but wonder if he has lost weight, she prays he’s well and okay.After spending twenty minutes looking for a spot to park her car in an already full parking lot, Kimberly luckily found a spot and parked her car.Coming out of her car, Kimberly couldn’t help but stare at the families who had already reunited and we’re heading back home.She could see the genuine happiness radiating from the soldiers and their loved ones. She sight brought tears to her eyes. She quickly tore her eyes away from the scene, wiping a stray tear from her face. She locked the door to her car and headed for the harbor where the ship was, as she didn’t want to keep her fiancé waiting.On getting to the harbor, Kimberly squeezed
“Home sweet home!” Ian breathed as Kimberly parked in the driveway after gulping down the rest of his coke.He got out of the car, taking in his surrounding once again after being away for so long.Kimberly climbed out of the car and was about going to the trunk to get Ian’s suitcase when she noticed his outstretched arms. He was standing in front of the car, waiting patiently for her. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.“What about your suitcase?” she asked, not entirely sure if he wanted her to take his hand at the moment.“We can get that later.” he replied with a wide smile.Kimberly couldn’t help but smile back, his smile was contagious.She quickly interlaced their fingers as they walked to the porch. She unlocked the door and they went in.“I had the whole plac
Kimberly stared at her lover as he was fast asleep. He looked so peaceful and handsome. Her eyes lingered on his slightly parted lips, she felt the urge to kiss him, but refrained herself because she didn’t want to wake him up as he must probably be tired after the long journey.She carefully removed his hand from her waist and quietly got out of bed, making sure not to cause any noise.She got into the closet and picked out another underwear, since Ian ripped the one she was previously wearing. Smiling at the memory, she took one of Ian’s t-shirt and wore it, then wrapped her hair up in messy bun before quietly walking out of the room.Kimberly walked into the kitchen and sat on an island stool, thinking of what to make for lunch. She knew she needed to think fast because Ian wasn’t an heavy sleeper, so he’d soon be up.After some minutes of thinking and going through a cookery book
