Can you mend my broken heart?

He had thousands of questions running inside of his head. In fact a million. And there was one person whom he knew could give her the answers. So he drove away as fast as he could.

Reaching the reception he gave his name card to the receptionist and asked her directly to go and give to Dr. Nelson.

"I am sorry sir, but we really have no empty slots."

"Just give that name card to him and he will understand."

She hesitated at first but as she remembered that for him he had cleared his schedule earlier, so sending that it would be urgent she went in and gave him the card. 

"Where is he?"

"he is waiting at the reception."

"Ok send him after two minutes."

Saying that Dr. Nelson picked up his phone, but before he could call Akira and inform her about the recent development, Raymond barged in.

"I am sorry Dr. Nelson, but this is urgent."

Leaving the phone that he had picked up, he sat back on his seat and said,

"What is the urgent matter, Mr. Raymond? Was it so pressing that you couldn't even have an appointment?"

"If I could have then I would have right?"

Saying that Raymond sat in front of Dr. Nelson and then kept his report file on top of his desk.

"Explain this to me. You told that you wanted these reports for yourself, yet you sent those to Dr. Oshana. May I know why?"

Dr. Nelson looked at those files and racked his brain to find a suitable answer to give under this situation but unfortunately, he wasn't able to.

"She told me that you have already discussed everything with her but somehow I have some doubts about it. I know that you haven't done anything illegal here, so you have nothing to hide or fear. But I just want my answers."

Dr. Nelson looked at his phone all desperately and seeing that Raymond moved it away.

"I will ask you simple questions. Basic Yes or No. I don't want any answer other than that. Am I clear on that?"

"Raymond you are not understanding the situation here. Just let me explain."

"Just answer my questions. I do not have the luxury of time right now."

"Is this report correct?"

"Yes"

"Nothing tampered with the results?"

"Yes"

Raymond breathed a sigh of relief and then opened the page containing his predictive analysis.

"You conducted this test again. Did you know that something was wrong with my results earlier?"

Dr. Nelson sat silent for a moment and then said,

"Yes"

Raymond was shocked for a moment and then asked,

"Was it because of some error in the procedure followed by Dr. Oshana earlier while conducting the tests?"

"No"

"So she had given me the wrong reports and you knew about it?"

"Yes"

"When did you get to know about it? Recently?"

"Yes"

"Are you working for my dad?"

"No, Raymond. Don't have any wrong assumptions here."

"Are you working for Akira?"

Dr. Nelson felt like there was a lump in his throat. He looked at Raymond and he could see that he was mad, raging mad.

"I can explain everything to you, Raymond."

"I will repeat again. Are you working for Akira?"

"Yes"

.

.

That was the answer that Raymond was scared of the most. Not because Akira went behind his back to do so. But because of the fact that he was scared that if she messed with the wrong party by doing all this.

"Did she threaten Dr. Oshana to go back to Nebraska?"

"That I am not sure, but there is a possibility that her men would have done that for her."

Raymond sank in his seat and pinched the space between his brows.

"Who did Dr. Oshana work for?"

Dr. Nelson wanted to avoid this question at any cost. He didn't want him to know that his own father was behind all this because he knew that it would be devastating for him. So taking a deep breath he thought for a while and took his chances,

"She did all this to get you, Raymond. Love has its own twisted ways of working. You of all the people should be aware of that." 

Hearing his words, Raymond calmed down a bit, because a part of him didn't want to hear about one stab in his back by his own father. Then looking at Dr. Nelson he said,

"I am sorry for my outburst earlier. It was too much information for me to handle in a day. But I am really really thankful to you for figuring all this out. I can't even tell you how indebted I feel right now to you. You may not know but it's like you have given me a new life."

"I did not."

"What do you mean?"

"She did."
