Chapter 20 : Disgusting Rat
*Amelia*
"How have you been, Amelia?" Dr. Sullivan asked me once we were settled in my office.
I sighed, and my shoulders sagged.
"It's been chaotic," I admitted. "I've spent so much time working that I'm not sure who I am outside of the courthouse."
Dr. Sullivan gave me a sympathetic look and nodded his head in understanding.
"It's the same way in medicine. The good cases are easy, but the bad cases stick with you and change who you are," he said, patting my hand comfortingly. "But I have faith in you, Amelia. You're smart and courageous, and you have integrity that many in law lose. You'll come out ahead in the end"
He then leaned forward, his blue eyes twinkling with excitement as he said, "Now, let me look over the medical notes for this suit you're working on. You said they're trying to say the accident at work wasn't responsible for the permanent nerve damage?"
I nodded, and he began reviewing the notes. After a few minutes, he looked up at me with a frown.
