Chapter 44

Part 1 - Sick Old Bastard

...

After sitting properly on my seat, my eyes couldn't help but roam around the Doctor's room to observe things.

There wasn't much personalization in the room's furniture, just a normal average-looking Doctor's room. Well, other than the small picture frame sitting on the desk.

Maybe it was a pic of the Doctor and her old parents, but I wasn't really sure of it.

Is this Doctor really Sis Lin's colleague? Well... Sis Lin said so earlier.. no use in thinking about strange things to kill time, I guess.

Since I couldn't really stand up and roam around the room as if I owned the place, I just kept sitting down next to Sis Lin and tried to find something else that would pique my interest.

What am I doing not ogling the hot woman in her sexy dress next to me? Well, I certainly don't want her friend to examine me while I have a hard-on!

...

Even after waiting for some time now, the Doctor still didn't arrive.

Has she gone somewhere for some other errand or something? If that's the case, then it better be urgent. I mean, it's just the two of us in the room for a while now. And.. my patience has been running thin for a long time now.

My eyes kept staring at Sis Lin's legs in the sneakiest way possible while still trying to appear to be focusing on something else. Sis Lin was also busy browsing her phone, looking completely oblivious to my actions, which in turn made my desires flare even further, making me want to peek even more!

While I was slowly realizing myself to be a lost cause against Sis Lin, amidst such a strange and amorous atmosphere, the door to the room suddenly opened. Anticipating the arrival of the doctor, both Sis Lin and I turned to look toward the incoming person.

"Good! I arrived just in time. Hey, Doctor Lindie. It's been a while, hasn't it?"

A rough-sounding voice came from the direction of the just-opened door, as following the receptionist from before, a dandy-looking middle-aged man with a long grey beard and mustache, wearing a Doctor's coat loudly entered the room.

W-What? What's going on here?! Why the heck is that old man screaming around in the Doctor's room?! And where is that female Doctor friend of Sis Lin that we booked the appointment for?

As I looked at Sis Lin with a questioning look, Sis Lin looked very shocked as she didn't appear to be too happy with this man's sudden intrusion.

No matter how crazy and outlandishly ridiculous my thinking might be, there is no way in hell that this is the guy that Sis Lin dressed up for. Nope. No chance at all.

Sis Lin seemed to not be able to handle herself with her usual composure, as she stood up and spoke to the old man in a little quivering voice,

"D-Doctor Grey? Why are you here? I mean, this is Doctor Stacy's examination room, right? Why did you.. suddenly come here...?"

The dandy old man didn't seem to be affected much by Sis Lin's piercing gaze, as he walked on and sat down at the Doctor's seat and adjusted his clothes and hair once before he replied to Sis Lin,

"Ahahahaha! Well, what could we do? Apparently, some urgent personal things troubled the poor lady doctor so suddenly that she had to attend to those things immediately at all costs."

"Well, what do you know? She didn't even inform the Medical Officer about everything in detail before she ran off on her own. We had to scramble around a lot to not offend our awaiting patients. It was serious trouble, I tell you."

"It was also the Medical Officer's request for me to personally take over her appointments for today. Can't really refuse a superior now, can we?"

Sis Lin had a clearly doubtful look on her face as she quietly stared at the old man for a while before she asked him,

"However... I clearly remember that the nurse mentioned the Doctor to be on her usual rounds in the Patient's Wards. How did she suddenly disappear before attending us when she was clearly on her way here?"

The dandy old man looked so stunned by Sis Lin's comments that even his face paled for a moment. After grumbling about something to himself for a bit, he then turned to stare at the room's ceiling for a while, before he turned back to Sis Lin.

"Hmm.. that's interesting. Well, maybe that nurse that you talked to made some error in her statement. It's not really surprising, right? I mean, being a Doctor yourself, you know how stressed out the nurses could really be. The stressful factors and the number of variables that they deal with are often on a completely different level from ours, you know?"

"Anyways! Enough about that careless nurse... R-Right! What brought you here today? Is something wrong with your body? Or maybe.. the illness is too private?"

"Don't worry! You can trust me, I tell you. You know how much I care about you, right? Then.. do you want me to examine you right away?"

I don't like this old man. I can't say for sure with my limited experience, but his eyes are the most disgusting ones that I have seen yet. He must have thought that we wouldn't notice, but I could tell that he kept trying to sneak glances at Sis Lin's bossom. Not only that, his face looked very self-pleased with himself as his lips eventually turned to form a lecherous smile.

And while such a stupid smile hung on his face, the old bastard even had the galls to ignore my presence all this time, as if I didn't even exist here at all.

This sick bastard!

Sis Lin looked to be visibly disturbed and very uncomfortable being trapped here with the old man.

Thankfully I am still here. Otherwise, who knows what this old bastard might have done to Sis Lin? Although he had tried to cover his intentions with flowery words, I could still tell that deep inside, he was a very calculating and remorseless human being.

Since he had dared to target my Sis Lin like this, I decided to stand up to his verbal assaults.

"Doctor.. it's me who needed the treatment, not Sis Lin. She is just here to accompany me for this appointment. If you would like to do anything, then please arrange a Medical Certificate for my college absence."

"We don't have much time today, so it has to be prepared as soon as possible. We were hoping to get Doctor Stacy's help for this but, as you said before, she isn't available at the moment. Would you be able to have it prepared instead?"

Upon hearing me speak, the old man finally turned to look at me. Unfortunately, it wasn't as a Doctor checking his patient, but as an appraiser judging an item's worth.

His gaze moved up and down my body several times, which finally ended up staying on my chest area instead.

This guy..

His antics are really making me mad!

Part 2 - Old Wounds

...

Just as I was wondering if I should really punch the old man's stupid face, his eyes soon lost interest as he put on a very disappointed expression on his face and spoke to Sis Lin,

"Haah... and here I thought that you actually needed me here for yourself, Lindie. Oh well, what could we all do about that anyways? Hmm, the certificate.. isn't really a big issue at all. Let's see.. I can have it done within an hour, so it's not that difficult actually..."

"Nonetheless! How have you been so far.. my dear? Honestly now, tell me that you miss those days that we spent together, right~?"

"Ah! T-That's right. You.. haven't started dating anyone again, right? I tell you, the young ones nowadays just don't have the spirit in them anymore. Just five minutes players they all are, I tell you. I am certainly not like that, alright? I am actually still as healthy and fit as a stud!"

Sis Lin's condition seemed to deteriorate further and further as we kept on spending our time in the room. It was pretty obvious how much she was avoiding communicating with that guy since she hadn't replied to a single one of his words yet.

While I kept trying to hold back my own murderous intentions, Sis Lin suddenly stood up, grabbed her purse, and started to walk away towards the door by herself.

Not wanting to spend any more time with this old goober, I quickly stood up from the chair, left the dandy old man behind, and started to follow behind the escaping Sis Lin's figure.

She kept walking further and further with swift steps until I finally grabbed her wrist by force and stopped her as I asked,

"What happened, Sis Lin? Is it because of that old doctor? Did that guy do something bad to you before? I know for sure that he wasn't the Doctor that you wanted me to visit today, right? Don't worry. He's not around anymore. You can tell me about it later if you want to, but right now, please calm down first. It's alright now.. I'm here for you."

Sis Lin seemed to be badly shaken by her experience earlier as she kept her eyes closed while I held her arms gently. Then, all of a sudden, Sis Lin hugged me so tightly that it became a little difficult to breathe for me.

Why was that the case? Well.. our boobs were pressed against each other very strongly, so the amount of chest expansion during the inhaling of oxygen became a little difficult.

Also, scientifically speaking... Sis Lin's a hot woman, dammit!

And since we were in such close proximity to each other, her sweet body odor immediately overwhelmed my senses as I began to enjoy the hug even more.

Oh God, she is smelling too nice...

It was good that the mood wasn't so casual at the moment, otherwise.. who knows what might have happened.

Upon hearing my words, Sis Lin took several deep breaths, as the tightening around our chest became even tighter. Sis Lin, however, didn't seem to be troubled by it. On the contrary, she began to finally gain a little composure, as she began to slowly speak next to my ears,

"I-I'm sorry.. for earlier, Carene. That man... he used to be my supervisor some time ago. It was at a hospital where I interned in during my graduate study. That man had a very bad reputation amongst the staff of that hospital due to his various immoral relationships with the married nurses, often against their will. It was said that he had even put his hands on several of his unconscious patients while examining them. I don't know how he got away with doing all of that, but he wasn't someone that I wanted to be around at all."

"One day though.. my luck seemed to have run out, as he began to target even me. By then I was certain that there was some truth to those accusations since a few of my friends ended up becoming his sex friends. Things became worse when those friends of mine began to convince me to try having that kind of relationship with him as well."

"I was cautious against him since the very beginning of the internship though, hence I repeatedly escaped his pursuit. Unable to bear with his consistent schemes, I ended up leaving that hospital earlier than scheduled and joined another hospital for the internship."

"That man though didn't change at all. He kept trying to follow me using various excuses and even used his relationship with his other colleagues to visit me occasionally. Until I safely graduated and left that city, it felt like he was always around me."

Sis Lin had spoken so much without taking a break that I needed full concentration to not miss anything crucial. I knew that she was opening up her heart to me and laying bare those recently re-opened wounds from her past.

I remember that I myself suffered at the hands of a few bullies before when I was in school and those experiences certainly had left their mark behind with time.

However.. Sis Lin's case seemed to be way more serious and extremely traumatic when compared to mine. Honestly, I cannot even begin to imagine how much she must have suffered under such a severe and inhumane environment.

After catching a few more breaths, Sis continued to speak further,

"You were right when you said that he wasn't the Doctor that I meant for you to see. I really don't know what he did to my friend, but that man.. is just a predator in human skin. You did well earlier to not reveal your real health issues in front of him."

"His treatment would have been no use anyways. Also, I cannot put you in the hands of such a deviant myself at all. Don't worry, I will definitely find a much better Doctor for you, Carene."

Although Sis Lin had calmed down a lot, there was a noticeable fatigue in her voice that seemed to reflect how mentally drained she had become by then.

Knowing how much she genuinely cared about me, a strange warmth seemed to spread out from my chest. I tried to pull back my waist a bit to prevent any raging stiffness underneath to be noticed by Sis Lin and continued to pat my hands across her back to relieve her of the exorbitant amount of stress that she had accumulated.

I am a bad, bad woman. What am I getting so happy over? Sis Lin didn't mean anything special by her words. She just cares about my well-being.

Yeah. T-That's all there is to it. Don't overthink, Carene.

I soon relinquished those bad thoughts in my head rather easily, since my concern for her had easily overpowered any lustful ideas within my mind.
