Chapter-1

I just clocked out from an 18-hour shift, ready to go home for some much-deserved rest and to some quality time with my fun music and bubble bath.

Just imagining my relaxing bubble bath makes me sigh. I have been working overtime these past few weeks because the ER is full and we are quite understaffed at the moment and as a result haven’t had much of a quality time for myself.

MC: - Yeah by now you guys must have realized that I am a doctor by profession.

So, let me introduce myself to you guys,

I’m Senara Knight and I’m 25 years old and I work in the ER of a prestigious hospital. I'm an ‘if we vibe we vibe’ kind of person and also, I have been told that I'm like an old soul, difficult to form close bonds with me and as a result quite boring to converse with. But I would like to think I'm not boring, though I can't really tell for sure because what you think you are is actually quite different for other people. So that might be true too. (* shrugs*)

It was difficult to accept but I have learned to embrace that part of myself. (*dramatic sigh). Anyways I'm a proud introvert and a full-time hard-working doctor so there’s that. And...

Author- Well let me just cut you there. I'll do the honours of introducing you to our readers. So, shoo, move along.

MC- fine! (grumpy). I'll see you guys later. Love you 💙

Author-(uff!) Let me give you guys a piece of brief information about our female lead.

Name- Senara Knight.

Age-25 years.

Occupation- Freshly graduated from med school 2 years back and now working in Iaso hospital as an ER.

Blood type- O positive.

Personality- Ambivert well mostly leaning towards introversion, hardworking, stubborn sometimes, strong-willed, kind, sometimes unpredictable.

Family and relationship- Oldest daughter in a family of five and single as pringle, since forever.

Others- Has a cold face and her introverted personality make it a dangerous combination that causes people wary to approach her. But surprisingly good with interpersonal relationship with patients.

So, let’s now get back to the story~

“Dr. Knight, the chief has called you to visit his office.”, said the intern. There it goes my hope and chances of taking a relaxing bubble bath. The only time the chief had called me these past few days is to tell me to cover another shift.

Usually, I wouldn’t be bothered by all this extra shift but lately, I have been feeling burned out especially these past few weeks, and I was hoping for some time to feel relaxed and to get back to my work lair feeling better.

Well with an idea of why the chief has called, I walk towards his office.

*knock knock*

“Come in.”, said the chief.

I enter saying, “Please tell me it’s not to cover an extra shift. I have been working crazy hours and burning myself out for the past few weeks.”

“I’m sorry, you know how it is over here. It’s been crazy the last few weeks and we are understaffed at the moment. So, I would like it if you could cover this shift too. I have informed the higher-ups about the under-staff issue. So, I am hoping the issue will be resolved within sometime.”, said the chief looking burned out himself.

The chief was a kind-hearted old man who treats his staff like family. He has taken care of my well-being from the moment I have joined and has helped me out on a lot of things. He is like a father figure to us staff. He is strict and professional at his job and at the same time he is kind and loving. His hard work, enthusiasm, and love for his job has kept the department running all these years. He has been working extra hours these past weeks with us to make up for the under-staff issue.

Anyway, I had already decided to stay back and work the extra hour.

“I will even order dinner from that restaurant you like. So, would you like to stay back?”, said the chief thinking that I hadn’t decided.

“Well, it’s quite tempting.” Acting like I was thinking quite hard about it and then said-

“Ok fine I’ll stay back.”.

He looked relieved after hearing my words.

After a quick chat, I get back to my work and go about rounds to check up on my patients.

In the midst of my work, we receive a call from the ambulance staff saying an emergency case is on the way to our ER gate. We start preparing for the admission of the patient. When suddenly the doors open, signalling an emergency.

I make my way towards the patient.

He looks familiar and some of our staff look quite surprised and shocked at the scene. I was quite surprised by their reaction but pushed that thought aside.

Then without wasting time, I shout the drill snapping them out of shock, and start treating the patient.
