"Get the scalpels, nurse Shane!"
"We are losing him! Check his blood pressure and make sure to pump the blood according to the time I told you!"
"Doctor Lisa, he is dropping!"
The theater was thrown into a frenzy as the doctors battled to save the life of the little boy who had a car accident. It took them more than three hours before they could revive him and finish the operation successfully.
"Damn! Such a tricky surgery! I am so famished I could eat a horse!" Lisa said, slumping down in her office chair.
She had to dodge the anxious looking parent of the boy who wanted to bombard her with questions. She needed to rest.
Shutting her eyes, she ran her hand through her golden wavy hair which she tied in a ponytail. She had discarded her operation gown so she could take a quick nap before going to the canteen to grab a bite.
Lisa brought out her purse to check the money left in it and she sighed, knowing that was the last money left with her. She was thinking if she should ask for an advance so she won't go broke all through the month.
"So much for this month! I wonder if Derrick had found a job already," she murmured to herself.
As she was thinking of what to do, a nurse came running to her office, looking anxious.
" Doctor Lisa! You are needed in the theater room! It's a critical condition!"
" Critical condition? What happened?"
" A little boy and his father were involved in an accident and the boy suffered a head injury. He needs an operation as soon as possible," The nurse said.
" Alright, I will be there. Get the necessary equipment ready," Lisa said, standing up quickly.
Although she was tired, saving a life supersedes everything. She picked up her coat and rushed out of the office to the surgery room.
Lisa and the other doctors were in the surgery room for more than two hours trying their best. Finally, they were through with the surgery and the lights to the operation room went off.
If words could describe tiredness, then the name Lisa would be the perfect description. She was damn tired and hungry! All she wanted to do was rush to her office to freshen up and then go to the canteen for a late night snack.
"Lisa, are you okay?" A male nurse asked, looking at her frustrated expression.
"Try not eating for fourteen hours amidst several hours of performing operations, then I am sure you will get the answer, Joe. Dammit! I am on the verge of breaking down!" She said, rolling her eyes.
Doctor Joe chuckled at her words before patting her shoulders," That's why you have me, sweetheart. I got a takeout in your office. So just freshen up and eat."
Lisa looked at him gratefully and she would have embraced him if she wasn't all sweaty." I owe you one, Joe"
Joe just smiled and turned around to leave. Lisa also decided to go to her office, luckily, there were no dramatic relatives of the person around.
But just as she turned around to leave, her eyes locked on a fierce looking pair of hazel eyes that seemed to bore through her. She scanned the person before her and noticed he had the most attractive features of the male species she had ever come across.
The perfect cheekbones and the face of a beauty god that could be mistaken for a Greek god. Amidst the plasters and bandages on him, he still looked dominant and cold.
There was something familiar about him that she just can't picture.
"My son… how is he?" His icy voice brought her back to reality.
"Your son?" Lisa asked, confused.
