Chapter 3 Two

CHAPTER 02

"I'm Kristine Camille Villarreal, your new senior doctor," he introduced himself to them but he still looked at the girl with a bad look.

His colleagues bowed in greeting to the new senior doctor and if Doctor Zian hadn't gently patted him, he probably wouldn't have bowed as they did in greeting.

"Okay, I heard from the Executive director there is an intern here. Who is it?" asked the new senior doctor and looked at them one by one.

He smiled and raised his right hand. "It's me."

His gaze turned to her and she saw his slight smirk before nodding. "So it was you? I just hope you don't give me a headache, I want an intern who has skills inside and outside the operating room, is that clear?" he looked at him seriously, he looked even scarier than their former senior doctor. But that didn't make him afraid.

He was about to answer when a nurse rushed inside. "Doctors are needed in the ER, there are patients who just arrived because of an accident," the nurse hurriedly explained.

He scratched his own head before looking back at the new senior doctor.

"Let's go," said Doctor Zian and ran first with Doctor Jase and Doctor Cyril followed by the nurse leaving their department to go to the ER.

The two of them were left inside. "What are you looking at? You should follow them," said the senior doctor.

"Then how about you Miss Senior Doctor Thief? Aren't you going to follow?" smiling but the sarcasm in Russel's voice was melodious.

Both of his senior doctor's eyebrows met. "Miss Senior Doctor Thief? Thief?"

He smiled more. "Exactly!" he exclaimed with a wide grin forming on his lips. "You stole my coffee."

His senior doctor looked at him quizzically. "I paid, so that means I didn't steal."

He frowned and looked away before secretly mimicking what his senior doctor said.

"Are you saying something?" he asked her, she immediately faced him and smiled widely before shaking her head.

"Nothing," he answered with a grimace.

...

They went to the ER AT THE SAME TIME, they encountered a scenario where the nurses and doctors were getting confused because of the number of patients.

Krist looked at the next intern. He frowned when he saw that he seemed confused while looking at the patients.

He flicked two fingers in the air opposite the face of Russel, his intern.

"You okay, intern?" he asked causing her to look at him he noticed that she stared at him for a moment before both eyebrows met.

"Stop calling me intern, my name is Russel." he said with emphasis on the last word he just shrugged his shoulders because of what he said.

He walked towards a patient lying in a hospital bed, he could feel Russel following him that he just let.

She did check the patient, he had many wounds but immediately noticed the abundant blood dripping from his stomach. He looked at the patient, he was moaning and crying softly, he looked around and everyone was busy except for the person next to him who was staring at the bloody patient with rolling eyes.

He shook his head before ripping off the patient's clothes so that he could see a large cut on the side of his stomach. He heard the strong intake of breath from the neighbor causing him to look at him.

"What are you asking us to do there? Take action, get things. Hurry up!" he couldn't help but raise his voice but even so Russel didn't move, he remained dumbfounded and looked at the patient who was going to lose consciousness at any moment because of the amount of blood he was losing.

There are many happy minutes if he waits for her to come back to her senses so that she herself leaves to get things to be taken, she runs back with the things to use.

He put on the same surgical gloves and took them to use, he looked at Russel and his eyes were fixed on him.

"I'm going to kick you out of the hospital if you don't help me here," there was a threat in his voice while still giving her an evil look.

He blinked as he looked at her before taking a step closer to her. He turned his attention back to the patient and began treating him.

He couldn't help but be annoyed with his companion, he didn't act much, he couldn't follow his orders because he was confused and confused. She can't believe this guy, is he really a doctor who took this course?

When he finished treating the patient just in time and a nurse came, he told her to take care of the patient and after that he removed both surgical gloves before pulling Russel out of the ER, he ignored the new doctor colleague who came up to them to ask him something, he continued to pull Russel out while holding him by the wrist.

They stopped not far outside the ER and confronted her. His eyes were sharp. "Did you really take the course to be a doctor?" he asked curiously, full of sarcasm.

And finally he came back to his trance, he looked at her. "Yes."

"By the way, why didn't you agree? I need your help but look what you did? You just stared at me a while ago? It's your last year as an intern right? So what did you just do?" he grabbed his waist while still looking at Russel.

He looked away from her, just wow! This is her first day here, but this is what dawned on her? His blood boils for people like this who want to be doctors.

"Now look at me and answer me." he looked at her and didn't take his eyes off until she looked back at him. She thought this guy has something, because of what the Executive Director said, but she thought differently, she thought he was good, but it turned out to be the opposite.

"I can't." faint but enough for Krist to hear. Both of his eyebrows met while looking at it because of what Russel said.

"What?"

"I want to be a doctor but I can't." he said softly before he turned his gaze to Krist.

He was dumbfounded by what he heard, he couldn't understand it.

"No matter how much I want to be a doctor, I can't do it, I always try but I always fail." Russel added to the first statement. Krist saw a strange emotion pass through Russel's eyes but it also disappeared immediately.

"And why?" none of his own questions.

Russel took a deep breath and gave a small smile that ended in a grimace before scratching the back of his head. "I'm kinda scared of blood, I'm not totally scared but I'm scared when I see a lot of blood coming out of people. And also I'm scared to hold a scalpel, I want to be a good doctor."

He stared at it for a moment before speaking. "Then don't continue your study of medicine. Just take another profession," he knew what he said was wrong but that was what came out of his mouth and there was nothing he could do. He doesn't want to take back what he said, he doesn't want to encourage the male intern in his dream if he can't do the thing he dreams of.

"Why are you so harsh?" He asked her in a low voice, she just raised an eyebrow and frowned at the white coat she was wearing.

"I'm just telling the truth. I don't like people who force something they want without being able to find a way to achieve it. As your senior, I have an authority to tell this to you." he looked at it carefully.

"If you really want to become a good doctor, learn on how to face your fear. You can do something, you're just a coward. If you want this profession, fight for it," he added and tapped her on the shoulder before finally leaving her to back in the ER, he has more patients to attend to.

...

It was noon and he had just finished going through the ward to take care of the new and some patients, he went there immediately after he treated the patients in the ER earlier.

A few doctors were left there to observe the patients. He went through the ward to check on the patients who were still unconscious, they were the patients of the last senior doctor.

He tied his slightly curly hair before finally leaving the ward. He fanned himself with his hand, he was hot because of hunger. That's how he is, when he's hungry, everyone sympathizes and he's relieved, and most of all, his pressure increases every time he's hungry.

He was about to go to the ground floor when the male intern blocked his path. He raised an eyebrow at her but she just smiled at him.

"What?" he asked gruffly.

"Shall we have lunch together?" she smiled at him making him frown. Earlier the male intern's face couldn't be painted but here he is now smiling broadly at him and inviting him to lunch?

"We're not close," he replied curtly before passing her and she quickly followed him.

"Wait, let's go together. It's my treat." it chased after him.

"For what?" he asked again.

"For giving me a motivation?" He answered her questioningly, stopping her from walking.

"What?" he asked with a smile.

"For giving me a motivation to face my fear," he repeated what he said. He answered with a shrug of his shoulders, as he remembers he didn't encourage him because he did the opposite.

This guy is incredible!

She just let him come with her, well she's happy that someone will give her lunch. His money cannot be reduced.

They brought the lunch they bought to the department to eat there, the doctor colleagues were not there, they were probably in the cafeteria eating.

The two of them had just met but here they were eating lunch together, at first they were both silent while eating but when Russel spoke that's when the silence between the two of them disappeared.

"Have you been here long? You just transferred to our department, right? Did you also know me?" it asked him one after the other.

He nodded before taking a drink of water. "Yeah, I've been four years here. And yes, I know you. An intern who was scared to a lot of blood and an intern who was scared to hold a scalpel," he said continuously and without a brake before looking back to eat.

"You really so harsh to me," he continued as if hurt by what he said. "But I don't want to be afraid of that kind of thing, I told you, I really want to become a doctor. I guess it's in our race, but that's the only thing I'm afraid of a lot of blood and I'm afraid to hold a scalpel," it's a long litany and there is a hint of hidden sadness in the voice.

Krist was a kind of a person who observes. He is always observant, quietly observant and he can read a person quickly, he is not a Psychiatrist but he is still a doctor, and one of his characteristics as a doctor is to observe a person. And in a short time he immediately met Russel, he was a pleasant person but he knew there was something different about him.

...

Russel was biting his lip as he looked at Doctor Zian and Doctor Cyril who were preventing the injured man from calming down because of the broken blow that hit him while Doctor Jase was preventing the injured man's wife from attacking her husband to slap and hurt him.

"What the hell Russel, help me here to calm it down," Doctor Jase whispered to him weakly but with interest as he restrained the Lady.

The two doctors were unable to treat the patient because of his wife's desire to hurt his own wife.

"You're a very gay man, that's what you should be!" The lady yelled at her husband who was sitting on the hospital bed, Russel could clearly see the fear in the man's eyes as he looked at his wife who, if Doctor Jase had not stopped her, would probably have rushed.

He grimaced and scratched his own eyebrows before smiling and approaching Doctor Jase and the Lady he was holding.

"Ma'am-!" the rest of what he was going to say was cut off when the lady tweaked him. "Ouch!" he moaned softly.

"I told you to let me go, I'm going to hit that man!" The Lady is still holding her hair and she is trying to remove the Lady's hand from her hair, Doctor Jase is already pulling the Lady so that she can't twist her.

Some nurses are looking at them even the patients lying in the ER, some are even wincing. It's getting messy and the reason is these two couples who even made it all the way to the hospital.

"Aishhhh!" he was trying to remove the Lady's grip on him.

"Call the guards," he heard Doctor Zian order.

He feels that at any moment his hair will fall out, what is his fault and why is this happening to him? Why does he have to be the one to catch the lady's anger? He's just waiting.

What a beautiful opening for the morning.

...

Krist is BEAUTIFUL awake, she is smiling but her face is grumpy, she walks with full of confidence but her poise was ruined when she entered the ER.

The four doctors rushed to him while separating the woman and the man. The smile on her lips disappeared as she looked at the two doctors who were holding a wounded man while on the other side, a doctor was holding back the lady who was adjusting the other doctor - an intern.

"What's happening here?!" he asked in a loud and scary voice, both eyebrows meeting as he looked at the rioting crowd.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, even the Lady's teasing of Russel stopped, everyone was quiet because of her arrival and speech.

"What's going on here?" he asked firmly and firmly.

Because of what happened, Russel removed the lady's hand from her hair and stood up straight, she even stroked her own bum and slightly opened her mouth and looked at him before blinking and smiling, she ignored him and looked at him. only the patient before being approached.
