23 Story of Nikki Lindsey

CHAPTER 23: SHIPPING THEM!

Wearing a hospital robe, Jasmine escorted Nikki toward Doctor Yonah's clinic. They knock on the door before entering inside.

"I will just wait here, Miss," Jasmine said and stood outside. 

Now her heart was pounding loudly. She looks around the clinic, but there's no one there. Isn't that supposed a secretary should be here receiving patients?

She glances at the door on the right side. She wonders if Dr. Yonah is inside with a patient. Then she will wait and sit—

There are noises from the office until she hears a woman's argument and a male voice. She worries if Doctor Yonah is alright. Should she barge in? She is tempted to rush to the door when it opens, and a man steps outside, whose back faces her, and remains to argue with the female doctor, yelling in a language she doesn't understand.

She felt too awkward arriving in such a situation. She looked away and pretended to hear nothing. The man turned around.

"Nikki!?" 

"Hi, Doctor Ryan..." she greeted shyly.

Gosh! She wants to giggle at how the male doctor is stunned after seeing her and witnessing the scene. But she has no courage to tell Doctor Ryan that, no worries! She understood nothing and heard nothing! Then patted Doctor Ryan's back and convinced him she was just a walking mannequin wearing Mainland City Hospital's beautiful robe popping out in the middle of this clinic like a mushroom.

Jeez... what excuse is that? It is lousy.

"Erm... are you feeling alright now?" Ben asked her afterward.

"Um, yes. I was better, um, thank you."

"You are very welcome, Nikki." Doctor Ben pushes a smile.

Her gaze was back and forth between Doctor Ben and Doctor Yonah. She smells something, a lover's quarrel! She wishes to understand their language, to gossip. But it is just a secret; she will keep it to herself. She was just very intrigued.

Hmm... so there is a secret romance here. Her fan girl's heart has switched on! She was squealing inside as she wanted to ship Doctor Ben and Doctor Yonah.

"Nikki?"

"Huh? Oh, right! I have an appointment with Doctor Yonah," she replied hurriedly and blushed from the thought she had played on her head. Unintentionally, she smiled teasingly.

"Yes, correct. Can you wait for a minute, Miss Lindsey? I'll prepare the room," said the female doctor who, striding to another door, went inside.

"Sure, no worries, Doctor Yonah!" She could feel the tension between both the doctors, so she didn't know what to say further.

"I will head out now, Nikki. Later, I will do my visit to your mother."

"Thank you, Doctor Ryan," she bowed.

The male doctor had left, and Doctor Yonah was inside her office, so she invited herself to take a seat.

Doctor Ben and Doctor Yonah. The female doctor has a cute but beautiful face. Her long-sharp nose perfectly paired with her heart-shaped lips. Her big round brown eyes with thick eyelashes give her a seductive aura. They were a perfect match. Both tall and good-looking beings? They could produce beautiful kids!

She can't get over the fangirling effect even though she's now seated on the bed, and Doctor Yonah was sitting across her while typing something on her pad.

"Sorry about that earlier," the female doctor apologize.

"Hm? Oh, I understand nothing," she replied quickly. She was like a little girl, innocently conversing with the doctor, eagerly listening to any words that came out of her mouth.

Doctor Yonah peeped from reading her medical results. "Are you curious to know?"

"Huh? Oh, a little!" she replied honestly. 

Dang. This is not a question and answer about her checkup anymore.

"Ben's parents and my parents have been good friends since college. Before we are even born, our parents arranged our marriage already."

"Oh..." is she allowed to comment? She zippered her mouth but was curious to hear further.

"I could see that you are eager to know."

She smiled and nodded. 

"I rejected."

"What?" her jaw dropped. Has Doctor Ben been rejected? That's a big what, actually.

Well, in fairness, of beauty like Doctor Yonah, who looks outstanding and very independent. Her overwhelming aura is hard to resist, and a weak man does not deserve to stand on her side. But she believes Doctor Ben is a perfect match for her.

"He's a jerk! He's a bad drunk bastard, professor! He is the stupid human being I ever knew!"

"....." It seems Doctor Yonah has a terrible history with Doctor Ben. She heard rumors that Doctor Ben, indeed, was not an excellent drink partner. He never drinks with other people, but with his close friends only because he is a mess.

"Nikki, don't be a fool and intimidated by his smile. He is a bastard jerk!"

She blinks five times to process the scene playing in her head. Is Doctor Yonah holding a grudge toward Doctor Ben?

"He's a womanizer! He's stupid, ....."

There are many cussing and rants Doctor Yonah has been mentioning, and she tried to process them all. She's now worried that she will smash the gadget in her hand.

She tried to picture two different Doctor Ben on top of her head. One is a divine image of him. A wide gentle smile appeared on his face, while the other one is a--

But she cannot picture a nasty doctor Ben in her head.

"Listen to me, Nikki. Don't fall from his charm!"

"Erm, Doctor Ben has been our patron for longer."

"Patron?" she glared at her with a suspicious expression.

"Oh! We have a noodle soup store, and he often drops by with his friends when they are studying Junior High and Seniors."

"Hmm... really?"

She nodded with a big smile.

"How much do you know about him back then?"

"Hum? Err, not much. Don't worry, Doctor Ben; I will root for you! I was a kid back then," she more sounded like pushing Doctor Ben to this female doctor who has a grudge against him., and 

Now she ponders; she was like everyone's little sister, and everyone was her big brother. She just realized that there are too many men she trusts and no one from her suitors. She accepts because they aren't fantastic like these men.

"You like Ben, huh?"

"Erm, he was like a big brother to me, and he treats all the females close to him well."

"Is that so?"

"Hum!" Her evil fangirl has come alive. She sniggers silently.

Somehow, it relaxed her. Earlier, she was on the verge of crying before she stepped outside the bathroom. But gossiping with Doctor Yonah eases her troubled heart.

"However, he has a hidden imprudence! I hated it when he visited our province! He always makes fun of me!"

Another set of cussing Doctor Yonah rants in front of her. It was more like; she was listening to Doctor Ben and Doctor Yonah's secret love story.

They said, the more you hate, the more you love…

Their story must be like; I hate you, but I love you… or maybe Doctor Ben cannot confess his true feelings to Doctor Yonah; that is why all he does instead be to trick her with foolishness. It sounds that way. Now the teasing smile and her evil fangirls conscience have planned something.
