Waiting up late until his entire staff is dismissed for the day and then getting engrossed in examining his patients' files is one such habit of Dr.Angad, which always helped him in deriving quite constructive conclusions of certain complex cases. It was one such day and Dr. Angad Khanna found himself occupied with one of his patient's latest reports. Khushi Kumari Gupta"this patient's case has been quite inexplicable since the time she had been admitted into the hospital all those months ago.

She was admitted with a severe head injury and a few other little injuries on her body owing to the fact that she fell from a considerably dangerous height. She was then subjected to a very complicated brain surgery however the results haven't been much positive.

"I was almost turning around to avoid this discussion today if the smile on your face wouldn't have caught my attention. And now, I can only hope you have something to say that I'm gonna like for a change this time?" Arnav said sitting across Angad's desk.

Angad chuckled, while Arnav settled himself in his place opposite to him. "You are smart Arnav, we all know that, so let us just get directly into the point of concern?"
