Old Friend (2)

"Ah, such a talented family." Frank lamented.

If he hadn't forced his son go through medical school, there was no way that the guy would have achieved much on his own.

Knock Knock

Both Frank and Mark stiffened as they heard the knock on the door.

"Doctor Frank, here are the x-ray's." Fiona announced as she opened the door.

"Thank you dear."

Mark felt his palms get sweaty as he looked at the large envelope which contained his fate. There was a large part of him that didn't want to see the results, yet he had come too far now.

Even Frank began to shake as he opened up the envelope, using his fingers to gently pull out the x-ray.

As he walked up to the light board, his shaking hands almost dropped the picture.

He gathered himself before clipping the x-ray on and turning the light on.

Mark suddenly put his head in his hands, not having the ability to look. He prayed inwardly, hoping that a miracle had befallen him.
