chapter 02 :
we took the main road leading to Portland's hospital , Frank was driving fast and it was making my stomach worse , i was gagging in my mouth holding the urge to vomit in his car
i couldn't hold my tongue as he gazed at me worried
"can you slow down the speed ,i m vomiting in my mouth "
he beamed showing his white teeth "even in a sick pale skin you amaze me with your sense of humour"
i frowned groaning as the pain in my stomach furiously shifted into my pelvis area giving me a blood rush and a fever
"i was not kidding frank ! "
he swallowed looking at me and at the road , i v mever been this sick before ,it's irritating and i have two weeks before my finals .... i should be studing right now not dealing with this bactrea invading my body
closing me eyes i could sense my pulse druming in my ears yes hyperventilation , i can revise in my own head like that i will forbid the pain and gain some time
akhh focus ,focus Ana what are the symptomes of heperaldosteronism ? comon Ana you can't forget that
i knocked so much in my mind ,i feel so dizzy and i can't think of anaything but pain , that theory is certainly deep shit nothing real
i mean how can you dscard such a pain with sored throat ... the car stoped and i got out as fast as my legs could make it , i opened my eyes and scaned the area ,what an irony ....
i was supposed to come here after two weeks after graduating to work here not being this ill ... anyway i just o ll get better ;i need to get better !
i entered the emergency loby with frank holding me by the arms and tryingto sootg me with his words
"it's ok Anie you'll get better and finish your exams then you'll come here to this bat cave and work all the nights and days ..... are you sure you want to finish your studies to do ... this ! "
a giggle leaved my mouth through my heavy gasps and licked my dry lips ; we reached the reception desk , i blinked two time trying to get rid of the fog suroundingbmy sight
behind the marbeled desk sat a girl with glossy red hair cut just at the line of her neck ,she was wearing big fashion glasses under her green eyes escorted all with a white baby skin , Frank hissed at her way
"she needs to see a doctor ,she's very sick !"
his voice was contrasting his calm cool personality ,the wory was so palpable on it
i looked over his shoulders where a white coat hunged , i tried to lower my face and fix the face but nausea got into my throat riping all my sense of conscious and like that i couldn't see anything .... nothing is claiming my vision nor my acoustic abilities , i felt my body pressing on soft coton sheets
my ears are now litteraly capable of desiphering some voices ,the voice of Frank two others i couldn't recognize a women's and a mal's tone
"give her an Iv and some oxygen now ! "
"what is her name ?? nurse ... nurse what is her name ??"
the mal's voice is allarming me and making the shiver run through my body ,i articulated some words
"Ana .... it's Anastasia Steele...."
i felt his breathing tickeling my neck and warming the cold parts of my glacial organism ,i felt his sthetoscope striping my chest ,his fingertips messing with my bra to insert the sthetoscop in the right places , yes mitral ,tricuspid,aortic,pulmonary ... the areas of the main auscultations
"she needs that Iv now her pressur is decreasing ... get that men out of the room now "
ohh that men ! he's talking about Frank , the voice of this doctor is warm and allarming ,husky and eager ... it's all the contradictions you can make
"miss Anastasia ... can you hold my hand ?"
his palm is brushing my fingertips, i hold it with some force because i know that's the negative response the patient should make to be named conscious ... right medic crap ; his smooth skin tiggled in mu palm and it felt so good
"good , now can you open your eyes ? "
"i m trying to open them yeh "
