Chapter 72: Assistant
Yera went for her routine rounds to check her inpatients. She entered the private room of Ms. Terry Lim, one of the patients she had operated on recently. Inside the room was her granddaughter which she recalled had the name Rizie. The head nurse gave her the patient’s chart then she checked Mrs. Lim thoroughly as she gave further instructions both to the nurse and the guardian.
Rizie smiled at her with admiration and said, "Dr. Song, our family owes you a lot... I heard from the nurses that you’re looking for an assistant. Can I apply for that position?"
Rizie knew she was overqualified for the position, but she wanted to get close to Dr. Song for some unknown reason. Her gut feeling told her that everyone in her family would be safe if she worked at a hospital with Dr. Deyna Song. She had heard a lot about her, and moreover, Rizie could tell that Dr. Song was a kind person.
"Oh, that’s so nice of you, Rizie, but I think you are overqualified for that position," said Yera, smiling. She knew about Rizie because she was Keira’s sister-in-law so it was given that the latter had good qualifications.
"It’s okay, Dr. Song, I would like to do it anyway. I may have a good degree, but I don’t know what I should pursue in life yet. I have nothing to do besides helping my family around the house, and I’m quite bored with it. So, I really would like to try this out."
It was true. Rizie wanted to become a model first, but she decided that she did not like it after a month of trying. Just like her twin brother Josh, she graduated from a prestigious business school, but helping her brother with their family business had also bored her.
Her sister would often scold her for being such a fickle-minded person because she kept changing her mind about what she liked or wanted. She could not keep her interest alive in anything for more than a month.
Then she remembered about the handkerchief, so she asked, "Dr. Song, do you perhaps know a doctor here, whose name is Rui Dee?"
"Oh yes, he’s one of our best psychiatrists..." Answered Yera. The two women’s chat was interrupted by a man entering the room. He was wearing the same eyeglasses as the man who had given her the handkerchief.
