Ep-7
"When you set the caged bird free, it doesn't fly away. Not because it loves you, but because it no longer loves itself"
Arin
*quickly gets off the car* Thanks
Arin
*hands over the money and calls over Wrex*
Arin
*strides to the receptionist*
Arin
Has pediatrician Wrex come to work yet?
Receptionist
You mean Mr Wrex Cowper?
Receptionist
(This woman.... I am certain I have seen her somewhere)
Receptionist
*sighs* you should be more concerned about why he hasn't left the hospital yet
Arin
He didn't go home yesterday?
Receptionist
Yes. He has been cooped up near the surgery ward since yesterday noon
Arin
(Now I can't even feel angry at him. I would have brought him some food if I knew he was overworking himself again)
Receptionist
I am afraid not. He has strictly asked for no interference unless it's a patient in critical condition
Arin
*pouts and whispers near her*
Arin
Even if I am THE Rin-chan?
Receptionist
Rin-chan? Wait a sec! You mean the influencer Rin?
Receptionist
(I knew I had seen her somewhere!)
Receptionist
(Although she looks way different in her messy and baggy outfit)
Receptionist
No I am afraid I have to respect the doctor's wish
Arin
Please! It's just one time! I swear it won't take long
Receptionist
(She is adorable. I shouldn't expect anything less from an influencer)
Receptionist
If you insist so much, let me call him
Receptionist
*calls Wrex* Dr Cowper your...
Wrex
*picks up call* Didn't I tell you not call me unless it's an emergency?
Arin
*whispers* "Patient zero"
Receptionist
(Huh?).....your patient zero has came for you
Wrex
Why didn't you call me before? It's not just an emergency, it's a whole damn catastrophe now!
Receptionist
Well you only said not to!
Arin
Well this means that I can go, right?
Receptionist
Wait- never mind. How does Dr Cowper even know her? He seems like the serious type and she's all bubbly
Arin
For a person who hasn't fell sick since years now, I know the layout of the place eerily well
Arin
*turns to the left* and now this is where he should be
Arin
*smiles* Come out! You know hiding won't soothe my anger
Wrex
*peeks out from the walls* I wasn't hiding. I was just....taking a stroll
Wrex
Come inside, the conversation you came for shouldn't be discussed outside
Arin
*follows him inside as he sits on his chair*
Arin
(He looks visibly tired. I don't want to push him, but I need answers. I am sure he has a hand in the mess that has been created)
Wrex
Why aren't you asking anything? I thought you would be all over me by now
Arin
If you know you should start already
Arin
*takes out an orange* I forget to call you for a day and you ruin your life like this?
Arin
What were you even doing, stuck up in the hospital?!
Wrex
One question at a time, please
Wrex
(She is asking about me first, I knew I was lucky when I found her *smirks*)
Wrex
And it's going to soon turn into "had"
Arin
*takes out an orange from her bag*
Arin
I see *starts peeling*
Wrex
He is a young boy. The bone marrow needed to cure his cancer was finally found but!
Arin
*peeks at him* I see where the story goes
Wrex
*hides his face in his palms* The Mayor's son took it for his lover. I have been fighting for it since a long time and yet at the very end!
Arin
*hands over the orange slices* Take one. You need them
Wrex
*grabs her hand and pulls her towards him*
Wrex
*encircles her waist* I need you more now. *Buries his head in her clothes*
Arin
*sighs and pats his head* Don't cry
Arin
You have been trying to save his life since day one. Your patient probably won't like to see his hero crying like this
Wrex
*sniffles against her* But I feel so hopeless now
Arin
(I can't pester him about answers now....he needs me way more than I need the "answers)
Reize
Come with me to the death anniversary
Emris
I don't even know who you are mourning, how ca-
Reize
Have I ever lost anyone but you?
