Chapter 6: 6. The more you try to run away, the more closer it gets to you
CHAPTER 6 : THE MORE YOU TRY TO RUN AWAY, THE MORE CLOSER IT GETS TO YOU
But the sight that greeted her was definitely not what she could have expected even in the worst of her dreams.
Alexander Laurent, lying lifelessly, covered in blood, on a stretcher which was pushed by three men who were bleeding as well.
He was nowhere near the menacing psycho from her past, but looked like a simple young man who was severely ill and needed care.
'What exactly happened? Alexander usually has the best of security, almost a dozen men covering him from all sides. Why only Tyler, Lance and Mason are there with him? Nothing like this happened in my last life but-
Wait… it's been a month now. He was supposed to attend a highly confidential business meeting today and take less security along with him, but I had tried to run away and he had cancelled his meeting while forcing me back to his house and stayed with me all day. Later it was found that the meeting was a trap and somehow his entire household was thankful for me.. but in this life I didn't stop him.. and.. and this.. this happened?' Eleanora was standing frozen in her place, blurring all the shoutings and threats by Alexander's men in the background.
"Dr. Rosenheim.. Dr. Rosenheim!!"
Suddenly Eleanora jerked violently before turning to the nurse who was calling her for the past one minute.
"The chairman is not picking up and Dr. Blackwood is nowhere to be seen. We have no other surgeon at the moment and these people would cause a ruckus by the time we can-" the sister was still speaking when Tyler, one of Alexander's men pointed his gun at Eleanora.
"She called you doctor right?!!" Tyler asked as Lance threw a stretcher with a loud metallic sound echoing in the background, scarring everyone away.
"Treat him right now! Or else I'll kill you!!" Tyler shouted again while loading his gun, clearly intending on following his words.
"I.. I am-" Eleanora couldn't even utter any statement properly when the man placed the gun directly over her forehead, making her go silent.
'I don't.. I can not treat this person who ruined my entire life… no, I will never touch-
But isn't he suffering because of me? If I would have stopped him.. he could have-
Wait wait wait, what are you saying Ellie! THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT. He was almost killed for his own deeds..
But I can not leave him dying.. no matter how psychotic he has been or whatever bad times he made me face.. but being a doctor it's my responsibility to treat him.. after all he was at least there with me always-' Eleanora couldn't even properly sort her thoughts when there was more instrument breaking and metal cracking voice in background.
"Treat him or I'll kill you-"
"I WILL TREAT HIM!!!" Suddenly Eleanora shouted, louder than anything else in the room, making everyone go silent.
"Dr. Rosenheim, the hospital management won't-" the sister was still speaking when Eleanora cut her off.
"Prepare the operation theatre and shift this patient." Eleanora said before walking back to the doctor's room blankly, not quite understanding what she was doing.
*HALF HOUR LATER*
The OT Lamp was the only lighting source in the dark operation theatre. Stench of blood infiltrated the room while Eleanora, in her blue scrubs, could be seen concentrating at the muscle layer she was suturing.
"Cut." She said which was followed by a low sound of scissors cutting the suture material.
"Ughhh" Alexander grunted in his semiconscious state.
She took a few more stitches before tying the final knot as her mind played a scene from her past, when she was initially forced to live with Alexander.
She had been starving herself for almost a day, protesting against Alexander for her freedom when he entered the room with a tray filled with various food items and two-three different beverages.
When Eleanora remained persistent on not having the food, Alexander drank from her juice glass. Initially Eleanora felt a little bad as she truly was hungry but similarly stubborn enough to not eat anything. But when Alexander started drinking the juice, she was truly disappointed, only to be shocked again.
As what Alexander did next was pull Leanora towards him and suddenly kiss her, his tongue fighting her mouth and all her waste struggles before he won over her while he pushed all the juice down her throat.
'You should have told me that you like it this way, I would have done this sooner!' He had said with a smirk while watching her pale expression.
Thus when he took the next sip, Eleanora was already drinking from the second glass, not wanting to even touch that psycho again.
'Throw tantrums as much as you want. But don't hurt yourself in the process.' He had said.
"Cut." Eleanora repeated, coming out of her past scenario, her sharp voice a contrast against the dark silent operation room in midst of the monitor beeps as a bead of sweat trickled down her forehead.
And with that she was done closing the third wound on Alexander's body.
The assistant surgeon covered those sutures properly while Eleanora removed her gloves and removed her operation gown.
"Keep him on IV fluids and monitor his vitals." Eleanora ordered before opening the doors of the operation theatre where Tyler, Lance and Mason could be seen talking seriously to a woman who looked way younger than her actual age, while a young man in an all black outfit was listening along the sidelines intently.
"It was all pre planned madam-" Lance was explaining when they saw Eleanora coming out of the operation.
"How is my son? Is he alright? Is his condition critical? He is safe right? Answer me!!" Madam Irelyn held Eleanora by her collar when she wasn't replying to her.
Of course, how could Eleanora forget this woman who hated her for bewitching her son, but ultimately gave in and even accepted her in the end for her son's sake. But no matter how well she behaved later, her earlier sharp words and hateful comments were something that Eleanora wouldn't be able to forget even in this life.
"We have tended to all his wounds. The patient had lost a lot of blood and had three severe injuries on his abdomen which have been treated-'' Eleanora was still speaking when Irelyn left her collars.
"Thank god-" She was speaking when this time Eleanora cut her off.
"But.." Eleanora paused.
"But what Doctor?" The young man in black, Evander Laurent who was Alexander's younger brother asked.
