Chapter 2 strange doctor

Mrs. Edgar blinked her eyes open on the hospital bed, her two little kids rushed to her as they've been waiting expectantly for her to wake up.

Mom, how are you feeling now? Raynell asked. Mrs. Edgar looked at her twins and tears rolled down her cheeks. Mom, come on stop it, Raymond said. Where is your father? They looked at each other and back at her, we don't know his whereabout, They both answered bitterly.

Mom, just forget about him and get better, Raymond said. Yes my dear, I will. Then a nurse passed by and spotted them conversing, oh, Mrs Edgar, you are up! Let me call the doctor she said and left immediately.

Placing her hands on the twins heads, she said, kids, I'm sorry for giving you a father like this... I'm really sorry, it wasn't my fault, she added tearfully. The twins looked at each other seriously and Raymond was going to open his mouth to say something when they heard the doctor come in with the nurse behind him.

Hey, Mrs Edgar, how are you feeling now? Better, thank you doctor she replied. I am Bernie, the doctor said. Call me Beenie. Bernie? Mrs Edgar said thoughtfully, ok thanks doctor Bernie. Well, I have been trying to reach your husband but to no avail. There is something important to discuss with him and besides who hurt you like this? The doctor asked.

Uhmm.... Mrs Edgar stuttered, actually I .... I ... fe.... I fell, she lies. You fell? The doctor asked surprisingly. There was too much of bruises on your body, that's too much and also..... The doctor stopped the statement and signal to the nurse to take the kids outside. He watched the nurse take them out and he continues, were you aware you're pregnant?

Yes, I am doctor. Well..... How can I reach your husband? The doctor asked. I don't think you can see him now doctor, he is busy lately. Oh..... I see, l guess I will have to tell you then. Take this, the doctor stretched a file to her and she collected it. The doctor kept looking at her in pity and admiration as she go through the paper.

She carefully went through the paper inside and tears rolled down her cheeks. I'm sorry Mrs Edgar, the doctor said. I ... I .. I lost my baby, she cries out the more, covering her mouth with her palm, she sniffs. Doctor, I lost my baby, she cries. I'm sorry, the doctor kept repeating. Mr.s Edgar kept crying. That's why I wanted to see your husband, how can we reach him? Besides, I want to know the person that made you this way, the doctor said with anger.

I can't believe this is a mere falling, how can falling give you bruises like this?! Tell me the truth Mrs. Edgar, the cops will take care of it. No no no ... Mrs. Edgar yelled, do not call the cops doctor. Why? Was it your husband? He did this to you didn't he? Edgar Linton, you are an animal, the doctor yelled. Mrs. Edgar was shocked as to why the doctor is taking things personal.

Do you know my husband? She asked. Realizing he is over reacting, the doctor calm down and said, perhaps I do. You are getting better now but we still have to make sure you are very well before discharging you. By tomorrow morning, we will carry out another test to make sure you are perfectly fine. Take some rest, I will be back, the doctor added and left immediately.

Edgar Linton, where are you? Mrs Edgar asked softly. She got lost in thought and didn't know when her kids emterd, mom! They both called and she snapped out of her thought.

The doctor on the other hand on reaching his office, punched his desk hardly while loosing the tie on his neck. Edgar Linton, you are a bastard? He yells as his whole face turned red with anger. I am going to make you pay for this and all you've done to me. Closed to tears, he said, she can't even recognize me, she can't recognize me Edgar, what have you done?! He yelled.

A nurse rushed in, what is wrong Dr Bernie? I heard your voice while passing by. Nothing, he said and dismissed the nurse in haste. The shocked nurse walked out of his office hurriedly. He then comport his look back to normal and smiles, I'm going to make you pay Linton, you will pay more than enough, I promise.
