The Reason: Ch 10

Ch 10

Linda: Ya, I think you should.

Ron smiled: Sorry.

Linda: It’s okay.

Ron got up.

Ron: Leila, look what you’ve done.

Leila: Linda doesn’t mind. Right Linda?

Linda simply smiled.

Ron: Leila, so dinner tonight at your place?

Leila: yup!

Ron: I’ll be there.

Leila: You better be. Okay, I got to go now before my brother yells at me.

Ron: I’ll see you later then?

Leila: Of Course. Bye! (Blows him a kiss)

Ron pretended to catch that kiss and brought it to his heart.

Leila walked away laughing.

Linda: You two seem close.

Ron: Like I told you, we’ve known each other since forever.

Linda: Okay then. (Rolls her eyes)

Ron: Fine, but I’m just saying there’s nothing between us right now.

Linda: There could be.

Ron: Then there could be something between us. (Pointing to Linda)

Linda started blushing: It’s not the same.

Ron moved in closer and whispered in her ear: You never know.

She felt him whisper into her ears. She felt butterflies in her stomach. Was she starting to like him?

Linda: I think we should get going now.

Ron looking at his watch: O ya, I almost forgot.

They left the cafeteria and went to the ER.

Tavia: Ron, 11 people were sent in due to food poisoning.

Ron: I’m on it. Linda let’s get to work.

Tavia loved watching Ron work. He was always so serious and professional making him very attractive. Even when he would yell at her to get things like the anesthetics she didn’t mind cause she knew that the man of her dreams cared for everyone.

Tavia was still standing there daydreaming.

Ron: Tavia! Tavia! Hello?

Tavia: What?

Ron: I’ve been calling your name for a while now and finally you respond.

Tavia: Sorry.

Ron: Save your sorries and daydreaming for later. Right now I need you to go out there and get the information of the patients.

Tavia: o…ok

Ron: GO! Right now, the best way to treat her is with lavage. The poison is too strong to just rehydrate her.

Sammul: Are you sure?

Ron: It’s either this or give her medication but with her condition medication won’t do.

Sammul: All right.

Ron: You take care of that. I think I should go and check out the others.


Tavia: Okay, we’ve identified 10 out of the 11 patients.

Ron: How bout number 11?

Tavia: Well, we didn’t find any identification on her.

Ron: None?

Tavia: Ya.

Ron: That’s okay. Let’s just focus on helping them now.

Tavia: Ok.

She admired his righteousness and his determination, if only he was hers.

Claire: Are you going to ask him out?

Tavia: We got work to do and all you can think about is this?

Claire: Of course! You’re my closest friend and I would love to see you end up with the man of your dreams.

Tavia: Well we’ll discuss this later; right now there are 11 people who need our help.

Claire: ok fine. But after we’re done, you know what to do.

Tavia nodded and went to help Myolie in the other examination room.

Myolie: Did you check the temperature of the patient?

Tavia: His temperature was 36.5ºC, blood pressure was 120 over 70.

Myolie: Okay. So everything is normal. Does he have any history of hypertension or anything?

Tavia: No.

Myolie: Allergies?

Tavia: In his records it says he’s allergic to penicillin.

Myolie: Ok. He’s just suffering from minor food poisoning. We just need to put fluid back into his body and we’ll keep him overnight just in case.

Tavia: Ok.
At last all of the patients were treated.

As Ron took the elevator back to his office Linda followed behind him.

Ron: Did you like it?

Linda: Like what?

Ron: The thrill of saving lives.

Linda: You can’t like saving people. It’s almost like saying you like seeing them suffer so you could help.

Ron started laughing: I was just teasing. You don’t need to take it so seriously. It’s not like we’re downstairs. Just relax.

Linda: You’re like two different people. When you’re downstairs, you’re as cold and professional as can be. But now, you’re just joking around like nothing happened.

Ron: When I was in university, my professor told me to never put my true feelings into what I do. Cause if I do, it would just hurt a lot more.

Linda: So, that’s why you’re like that.

Ron: If you want to get to know me just ask.

Linda: What?

Ron: I’m joking! (He started to laugh)
