Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

455 Rendering someone speechless

Akira popped a tablet and rested on the sofa and Vikram sat next to her, holding her hand the whole time.

Unable to see the cringeworthy scene anymore, Dr. Nelson got up and texted Raymond about everything happened and that was happening, to which Raymond replied.

"And that's why I need you more than ever to stay next to her. The dance floor will open soon." - Raymond

"No need to worry. Your girl is sitting in one corner of the couch with stomach pain. Did you forget that part?" - Dr. Nelson

"Ah... I know she is a smart one. Always has an escape route well planned ahead." - Raymond

"But given that she has to join the discussion next, she will stop her stomach ache drama soon. Then you need to help her out." - Raymond

"Sure thing." - Dr. Nelson

After finishing texting, Dr. Nelson went to Dr. Oshana and called her for a quick chat.

"Anything from Sebastian?"

"Nopes. Neither he nor his men have contacted me."

"Whatever. Now take these tablets, in case they call you."

Saying that Dr. Nelson took out a small pill jar containing paracetamol tablets in them, but with fake medicine name on top of it.

"So, you trust me now?"

Saying that Dr. Oshana looked at Dr. Nelson.

"Regarding what?"

"Regarding Raymond's life, his memory? Don't you think I can swap medicines anywhere? Don't you think I could have already given the prescription to Sebastian and his men would already have procured the medicine?"

Hearing her words, for a moment Dr. Nelson felt that he will lose his cool, but then he gathered himself and said,

"You put a cut in my hand, and you threatened to kill her. But she still came to your place to make amends with you. Becasue deep down she felt bad for you. Even though you had done so many hideous and heinous things to her, she still thought that you have been gravely wronged and that whatever you did was under the circumstances."

"That woman right there, sitting on the couch, came to your place even though you had threatened to kill her, becasue she believed in you. And becasue she does, so do I."

"And I guess you also believe that you are not that person Dr. Oshana. Else you would not have called me. But still, if you want to prove all of us wrong then go ahead. Be our guest."

Saying that Dr. Nelson placed the medicine container in her hand and turned to walk away.

But before he could take a step forward, Dr. Oshana asked,

"Is that why you like her? Becasue she sees the good in people? That's all? What is so great in her that I do not possess?"

Exhaling a deep gush of air, Dr. Nelson tuned back to face Oshana and said,

"Let's not go in that direction Dr. Oshana, becasue you can never understand what I feel for her. I guess it's the problem of your generation for whom the definition of any human feeling is very restricted."

"What do you mean? What is this our generation? You were clearly smitten by her the moment she entered. I dare you to say no to that."

Dr. Nelson chuckled and said,

"There... Right there you proved my point again. Just becasue something is beautiful and you want to admire it, doesn't mean that I want to own it."

"Answer me in yes or no Dr. Nelson. Were you or were you not smitten with her?"

Taking a deep breath Dr. Nelson said,

"Yes, I was."

Dr. Oshana scoffed and said,

"And there goes all your righteousness into the drain."

Dr. Nelson smiled and said,

"I wasn't done talking, Dr. Oshana."

"What more is there to tell after your blatant confession of your feelings for her?"

"I said yes, I was smitten. But that was becasue she looked really elegant and gorgeous. Even you won't say no to that. But my eyes only admire her. It doesn't have lust or desire in them."

"I hope I have made myself clear now."

Saying that Dr. Nelson walked away after rendering Dr. Oshana all speechless.
