Yearning For The Badboy Mafia’s Love

The doctor approach us in the waiting room where we’ve been sitting for about fifteen minutes. He smiled and shake Chase’s hand and Chase shake him back.

“I didn’t expect you to come. What happened? She collapse again?” The doctor asked and Chase nodded.

I stare at the doctor in confusion, how did he know that I once collapsed? Does that mean that Chase have been talking to him about me behind my back.

The doctor turn to look at me and smile, “You must be Calista.”

“Yes I am. Good day Doctor” I told him and shake his straighted hand.

He nodded and led the way, Chase didn’t follow us, he just sit in the VIP waiting room pressing his phone.

I walked into the Doctor’s office and he assigned me to sit down.

“How are you feeling today Miss Calista?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Uhmm… Fine?” I told him in question tone , he nodded and walk to me with a flash light, he made me look up to the ceiling while he look me in the eyes with the flashlight which was almost blinding me.

Then he walk back to sit down and write something down on a file before turning and focusing on me again.

“I have conducted a test on you some days ago when you once caught fever….” He said.

And I recall it but i didn’t remember seeing a doctor walk in. The day I had skip taking a ride with Tyrell and had got drinched with water, I’ve catch fever in the process.

I just nodded.

“Before I tell you about what came out of the test Miss, I’ll like to ask you quick question and I’ll like you to be truthful..”

He said to me and I just nodded again as I just stare at him curiously. Why is acting like it’s a serious thing?

“What?”

“Have you been involved in any sort of accident before? Both when you’re little or now you’re an adult?”

“No I have not…” I told him truthfully.

He nodded and opened a white file different from the file he had opened earlier.

“We think you’re suffering from Acute heart failure ”

I widened my eyes and stare at him feeling shocked , and then I felt a sharp pain on my chest , I held my chest and wince in pain.

“Are you okay?” He asked and stood up in an attempt to walk to me.

“No, I’m fine. Don’t worry.. what do you mean Acute heart failure?” I asked him as I try to calm myself down.

“Acute heart failure is a sudden, life-threatening condition in which the heart is unable to do its job. The heart is still beating, but it cannot deliver enough oxygen to meet the body’s needs. This condition requires emergency medical care.” He explained to me.

I suddenly feel pale like someone who had just seen a ghost. I’m suffering from Heart failure and it’s life threatening, does that mean I’m going to die anytime soon?

“That’s the reason why you sometimes feel a sharp pain on your chest and lose conscious after” he continued and I don’t even feel like I’m hearing what he’s saying.

“Does that mean, I’m going to die?” I asked him after some second of silence.

He smiled. “I don’t think your Boss, Chase will ever let that happen. You don’t have to worry Miss, we’ll just like to conduct some more tests on you before we can prescribe medications to you.”

I sigh and touch my head as I noticed I have caught fever again. I’m just not used to taking in shocking words.

“Does Chase know about this?” I asked him and he nodded.

Without another word, I look away and just faced the ground. Since when did the heart failure started? As far as I know I have never been in pain or lose conscious while I was in my parents home.

“What tests are needed?”

“Electrocardiogram (EKG) to record and assess the heart’s electrical activity.”

“Chest X-ray to check for fluid build-up in the heart or lungs.”

“Echocardiogram to show heart movement and blood flow.”

“Angiography or heart catheterization to examine the heart’s blood vessels.”

“You may also need lab tests that include: BNP (biomarker) blood test to check for hormones that occur when pressures change inside the heart and Basic metabolic panel which shows signs of kidney or thyroid issues” he listed and before he even finish I was already feeling sick.

“All these tests? That’s like a lot of money for each test. I don’t have such money, I’m just paying off for my father’s debt and I’m not even working”

The doctor laugh at me for a while before he shake his head negatively. “Just focus on recovering better. Your Boss already paid for everything” he said and I nodded.

“Please meet the nurse outside so she can take your blood and then come back after a week for the result and your medicine”

“Thank you” I greeted him and stood up walking out of the office.

Just as he said, there’s a nurse waiting for me outside his office. She flashed me a smile and buckle on me to follow her which I did without hesitation.

Chase packed the car outside a restaurant and got down. I was lost in thought that I didn’t notice him get down until he walk over to my side and open the door for me.

“Get down” he said calmly.

I looked up at him first and nodded then walk down.

We both walked into the restaurant and Chase stopped at the counter. I just stood beside him but I wasn’t myself. I feel so weak and sick that I felt the need to vomit.

“What do you want to eat?” He asked me.

“Uhmm….. Pancakes and pineapple juice” I said and he nodded and turn to the waiter saying exactly the same thing I had just told him.

“Put it in something that can make it stay hot till we’re home” he said to the waiter who said yes sir to him before walking to get the order.

We entered the car again and I shut the door, Chase got in and drop the bag containing our order on the back seat. He didn’t start the car immediately, he stare at me.

“Are you Okay?” He asked me and I gave him a weak smile and nodded.

“Yes”

“Your face doesn’t say what you just said now. Is it because of what the doctor said to you ?” He asked calmly.

I swear Chase looks extra cute when he’s caring for me. I nodded and he sigh and led back on the car seat.

“You don’t have to worry. Focus on getting better , we’ll go get your medicines in a week time Okay?”

I nodded. “Is this why you stopped me from going to school? You didn’t register me for online class because you think I’ll run away but because you know I’m sick?”

He seems to be taken aback by my question but then he nodded.

“Yes. It’s not safe for you to stay in a crowdy place. I think the online class is much better till you recover fully” he told me and I just smile.

“Thank you Chase…”

He didn’t say another word as he just started the car engine and drive out of the restaurant parking lot.

I led back on the seat and stare out of the window. It’s starting to rain already and night is fast approaching.

I turn over to look at Chase whose eyes was focused on the road , He’s just too adorable and seeing him caring for me this much makes me want to fall in love with him.

But I can’t, I can’t fall in love with the person I’m serving, I’ll only end up getting hurt if he didn’t return the love I have for him. My eyes shift to his lips and I swallowed.

Maybe he isn’t as bad as he acts , he isn’t as bad as I might have believe he is. Chase actually care but maybe it’s because of what he’s into, he’s not allowed to be kind too often.

I smiled, now I believe what Rowan told me when he said he isn’t as bad as he might look.

“Stop staring” he said suddenly and I looked away embarrassed.

This is the second time he had caught me looking at him and it’s embarrassing. I smiled and stare out of the window once again.

It have started raining heavily and I’m feeling cold, I folded my hand beneath my breast and led my back on the seat feeling sleepy.

Chase suddenly stopped the car and removed his jacket. He handed it to me and start the car again.

“Put it on and don’t catch cold, no one will take care of you if you do”

Literally, I found myself smiling as I collected the jacket from him. Once again, his eyes was on the road as he acted like he isn’t the one that just handed his jacket to me.

“Thank You” I told him and put the jacket on then led back on the seat and shut my eyes.
