Episode 37

“Elias,” Iris called and he turned around with a smile. “Yes,” he answered.
“Who was that?” Iris asked. “Who was who?” Elias questioned back.
“Weren’t you talking to someone just now?” She asked stretching her neck with the hope of getting a glimpse of the person.
“Are you looking for someone?” Elias asked. “I thought you were talking to someone just now,” she muttered and squeeze her face in confusion trying to remember if what she saw was right.
“What are you talking about? It was just me, why are you outside anyway?” Elias asked trying to change the topic.
“You looked uneasy when you left so I thought something came up,” she answered. “I’m fine let’s head back inside,” he said and held her wrist, they walked back to the ward with Iris starting at the back.
She was sure she saw him talking to someone but she is just too confused right now to say if that is really what happened.
“Hi guys, sorry we left,” Elias apologized, only Mrs. Drake and the twins were in the ward, Nicole dropped by earlier but they would not let her see the kids so she left.
“Mom,” Elias called, he had the intention of apologizing to Mrs. Drake before he received the slip of paper and when he did he had to left.
“You don’t have to… You don’t have to explain, I know you didn’t mean to, and whatever your reason was for leaving it was genuine. I’m just happy you are back,” she said amidst tears.
“You don’t have to cry, doing that is making me feel guilty,” he stated and hugged her. “Thank you for coming back,” Mrs. Drake appreciated hugging him back.
Iris smiled as she watched them in that position, she was happy her mom was the understanding type.
‘Aren’t I lucky to have wonderful people around me?’ Iris thought. “When you are done with the drama Diana wants to eat,” Draco said and Iris drew out the basket that was under the table.
“I will make you tea,” Iris told her. “I don’t want you to make it for me,” Diana blurted and Iris stopped, the smile on her fave vanished.
Why can’t they just accept her? What happened was in the past and she is a changed person, if only those two will stop pestering her already.
“Why?” Iris found herself asking. “We don’t get along, I see no reason why I should let you touch my meal or anything related to me,” Diana replied.
Elias who had already disengaged from the hug watched her unbelievably. “What are you talking about Diana? Why are you speaking in that tone to Iris?” Elias queried.
“What tone should I speak to her?” Diana questioned back. “Why are you like this? Why can’t you accept Iris no matter how hard she tries to prove to you that she is a changed person! What more do you want?!” Elias snapped.
“Changed person? Did she tell you her crimes for you to conclude that she is changed?” Diana questioned.
“I am not having this conversation with you,” he replied and took the flask and cup from Iris. “Thanks but I will have to do this,” he said and she nodded.
She doesn’t give a dmn if those two accept her or not, as long as her fiancee accepts and loves her that is all that matters.
Elias gave the tea to Diana after he was done making it. “Use your medicine after this,” he ordered.
“You shouldn’t have come back,” Diana uttered in a hurt and angry voice, she took the tea from him and intentionally emptied the cup despite knowing she was going to feel pain later.
Elias just watched her with his mouth opened, she took the drugs with the warm water Draco provided.
“Where is my watch?” Diana asked checking her hand. “I can’t find mine either,” Draco replied.
“Did you take our watch?” Diana questioned. “What if I did?” He replied with a question.
“You are unbelievable,” Diana scoffed. “You can’t take others’ stuff without their permission,” Diana scolded him, he watched her speechlessly.
“Diana,” Mrs. Drake called when she knew he was hurt by her words. “I’ll just rest,” she concluded and slept, she was not asleep but her eyes were closed.
“I’ll take a stroll, it is suffocating in here,” Draco said and left the room too. “Your siblings…” Iris tried to say but Elias cut her short.
“It’s fine,” he replied and sat on the chair Draco was sitting on. His mind drifted to the short conversation he had with Romina, she begged him to fulfill his promise of helping her mother.
“I don’t want to abandon my family, not again,” that was his reply to her. “You don’t have to, I kidnapped you them because I don’t trust you…” She trailed off
“But now you do?” He asked and she nodded. “You can just come as a regular doctor, please save my mom,” she pleaded but couldn’t get a reply when Iris walked toward them
Draco was strolling in the hospital when he jumped into someone, he winced in pain and rubbed his forehead, the person was standing in the way.
“It is not proper to stand in the way you know!” He snapped and raised his head to see Romina smiling at her.
“Aunt Romina!” Draco squealed and hugged her. “Someone miss me,” Romina teased and pat his back.
“Of course, you left yesterday without saying goodbye. I thought Elias scolded you,” he uttered innocently.
“Why will you think that?” Romina asked and squatted to reach his height. “He took our watches and he had this scary serious expression on when he left the ward with you. He returned alone which means you must have left because he scolded you for giving us wristwatches,” he explained.
“You are smart but that isn’t what happened, I left because I had something to do,” she replied.
“Is that so, what brings you here today?” Draco asked. “I came to see a friend,” she replied.
“Is your friend sick?” Draco asked. “No,” Romina replied.
“He or she must work as a doctor then,” he muttered and Romina pay his hair. “Let’s talk about you, why are you roaming around the hospital?” Romina inquired.
“The room was suffocating,” he replied. “Who was it?” Romina asked and he started at her with a confused expression. “I know you fought with someone, was it your brother or is it Diana?” Romina asked.
“It’s Elias,” he replied and sighed, Romina chuckled and held his hand. “Take a walk with me,” she requested and he walked beside her.
Draco explained everything to her not leaving a detail, Romina made sure she listened what he needed was to pour out all his pain.
“You are going to listen to me, won’t you Draco?” Romina asked. “Yes,” he replied immediately.
“Iris Is like a big sister you know and it Is wrong to hate your big sister,” she was cut short by Draco. “Iris will never be my sister!” He spat and Romina chuckled, she pats his hair gently calming him down.
“I know you despise her gut but tell me, how will you feel if you found out I did something bad?” She asked
“I will forgive you as long as you promised not to do it again,” he replied. “Why don’t you give Iris the same chance?” She asked.
“We did but she repeated the action,” he replied. “Did you tell her you forgave her?” Romina asked.
“No,” he replied. “If only…”
“She didn’t ask for it,” Draco interrupted her. “She didn’t ask for forgiveness, she felt no remorse for what she did,” he stated.
“If Elias hurt you and didn’t ask for forgiveness, will you hate him?” Romina asked. “Elias won’t hurt me,” he replied.
“How can you be so sure?” She asked. “I don’t know, I can just feel it,” he replied.
“You need to forgive Iris, she made a mistake and if you don’t learn from history it repeats itself,” Romina said.
“Iris is bad at learning,” he joked and she chuckled. “Why are you trying so hard to make Iris look good?” He asked after the short laughter.
“Maybe I have seen another side of her, the side your brother fell in love with,” she replied. “What are we going to get from being nice to her?” Draco asked.
“I’m going to build you a robot that looks exactly like a human,” she replied. “Are you making a promise?” Draco asked.
“Yes,” she replied and he raised his little finger. “Pinky promise?” He asked and she interlock her finger with his and their thumb met.
“Pinky promise,” she replied and he hugged her. “I’m going to ask Iris to haunt you down if you don’t keep your promise,” he threatened.
“She is not a predator,” Romina scolded. “Yes,” he replied and someone called him.
“Draco!” He turned around and beamed a smile as he saw Nicole.
“That….., girl I have seen her somewhere,” Romina mumbled as she watched her walk towards them.
