Chapter 4 The flirty nurse

Episode 4

Jocelyn closed her eyes again then opened them. She stared up at the smiling face in front of her and frowned slightly. "Where's my mom?" She mumbled.

"Oh. She's.....I think she's gone home to get you dinner."

"And Adam? Where is he? Did he followed me here?" Jocelyn asked as though Eddie knew who Adam was.

But Eddie cooperated and shook his head negatively since he didn't see any guy around her since she was brought in. "No. I haven't seen any guy around." He replied and noticed how relieved Jocelyn looked.

"I'm not dead?" Jocelyn asked stupidly.

Eddie chuckled and shook his head again. "No. You are not dead because you are talking to me."

"What happened? I took so much of that pill. How come I'm still alive?"

Eddie was amazed to hear she actually did that to herself. "Why did you hurt yourself? Why would a beautiful angel like you wanna kill herself?"

Jocelyn stared at him, noticing the lovely and soft tune he spoke with.

There was concern in his eyes and voice. Jocelyn rolled her eyes weakly and looked away wondering who the hell he is.

She stared back at him and realised he was still looking at her with that heart fluttering smile. "You are staring." Jocelyn mumbled.

"Yeah. At the pretty face that has refused to answer my question." Eddie replied and sat beside her on the bed.

Jocelyn tried to move but couldn't. Her stomach hurt so badly she felt like crying. "Can you get up...? You are making me feel uncomfortable." She mumbled.

Eddie chuckled and did as she said. " Okay. Just being concerned. It's nothing more than that. I will be going now.

The nurse will attend to you later. Is there anything you would like to eat?" Eddie asked and Jocelyn shook her head even before he finished his statement.

"Oh....okay. By the way....I'm Eddie. Eddie Wayne." Eddie said with a cute smile.

Jocelyn only nodded and looked away. She wanted him to leave badly.

Eddie shrugged when he waited and heard nothing from her. Still smiling, he left the room.

Jocelyn sighed softly, relaxing back in her bed.

So, she's still alive?

Jocelyn asked herself. The door opened and her mother walked in slowly.

She stood in front of the door, looking so hurt and guilty. "You were gonna leave me all alone in this world, Jocelyn?" Angeline asked as tears rushed down her face.

Jocelyn rolled her eyes. "It's what you want mom so far you keep pressuring me to marry that lunatic."

Angeline rushed towards her daughter. She hugged her head to her chest, rubbing her hands on her back. "I'm sorry my angel. I never knew you hated him that much."

"I constantly told you I don't like him! How else should I show you if not like this?" Jocelyn asked.

"You could have died!"

"Yeah. That was the plan." Jocelyn mumbled.

"Oh God. Thank God for that miracle of a doctor who brought you back to life. What would I have done!" Angeline wept.

Jocelyn looked at her mom. "You mean that guy that just left here? Is he a doctor?"

"Yeah. He was actually gonna take the day off but stayed back to treat you himself. He's such a professional Jocelyn. He saved your life with the help of God."

Jocelyn blinked rapidly and closed her eyes in regret. She was so rude to him few minutes ago.

"What's wrong dear? Are you still feeling pains in your tummy?"

"Of course!" Jocelyn snapped and angrily turned her back on her mom, pretending to sleep.

"I brought you something to eat. Your favourite custard pie." Angeline said sweetly from behind.

Jocelyn was quiet. She only closed her eyes and all she could see was the cute face of the supposed doctor.

Eddie sat in his office, observing a file.

Suddenly he stopped and looked up then stared into space, picturing that pretty face from moments ago.

His new patient. His bride patient. He couldn't stop thinking about why she wanted to kill herself on her wedding day.

"It must be something serious." Eddie said out loud.

The door suddenly opened and Rihanna came in, smiling. "Eddie....."

Eddie frowned a little. "Don't barge in on me like that again, Rihanna."

"I'm sorry doc. I thought you never mind."

"It's disrespectful of you." Eddie added and moved forward in his chair. "What's wrong?"

Rihanna sat down, purposely raising her skirt high.

Eddie noticed all her laps were naked then stared at her face. "What are you doing?"

"What? I'm just sitting down." Rihanna replied.

"If you are trying to seduce me then forget about it because it's not gonna work."

Rihanna's face fell. "I'm not doing anything wrong. I just wanted to congratulate you for putting so much effort in saving that bride. I feel so much pity for her."

"I've always put my best in saving all my patient. That bride is not different."

Rihanna rolled her eyes. "You know very well what I'm talking about, Eddie. You even cancelled your day off because of her."

"Alright. I accept your praises. Can you let me be now? I've got a lot to do."

Rihanna smiled and stood up. Slowly she walked to Eddie's side and stood beside him.

She bent and pecked him on the cheek and giggled before leaving the office.

Eddie sighed and relaxed back as soon as Rihanna left. He was getting sick and tired of all her flirtatious moves.
