Chapter 432 - The Answer Is NO
Dr. Nelson heard her question but preferred to stay silent. So Dr. Oshana asked again,
"What is going to happen in 2-3 days?"
"What are you guys planning?"
But they both stayed tight-lipped about it.
So she turned towards Akira and said,
"Fine if you don't want to tell me then it's ok. It's totally your business, but let me remind you once again, that Mr. Sebastian isn't an easy man to deal with. Even if his body is revolting against him, he is still as evil as before."
"What do you mean by his body is revolting against him?"
"I thought you guys knew."
"Knew what?"
Dr. Oshana looked at Akira and then said,
"Mr. Sebastian is suffering from 'Ischemic heart disease'. His heart is slowly giving up. So I guess he is doing everything possible to set the things right for Raymond. So Akira, if he wants you out of his son's life, then he will stop at nothing to achieve that, as his days are quite numbered."
Hearing her words, Akira suddenly went all silent.
Somehow even though she hated that man, he was still Raymond's father and there was no way in which she would whitewash that fact.
So looking at Dr. Nelson she said,
"Is there something that you can do to help him out?"
Dr. Nelson was shocked to hear about her response. Instead of worrying about her own safety, she was worried about the health condition of the man who was almost ruining her life.
He looked at her all amused and asked,
"Well not my domain, but given his stature and his repute, I do not think he would have lacked any doctors."
Hearing that Akira's face fell and seeing the way she reacted, Dr. Nelson understood, what a pure and kind soul she was. But he kept his thoughts to himself and just smiled to comfort her.
But this didn't go unseen by Dr. Oshana, who was watching the two talking with each other.
"Oh bollocks !!! Now I know why Raymond is after you and slowly this man is also getting smitten by you."
"Dr.Oshana !!!" Dr. Nelson thundered.
"Are you out of your mind," Akira yelled and got up from the chair and walked towards her and said,
"I came here to help you. I came here to extend an olive branch to you, but looks like you are not interested in making any peace with us."
"Peace!!! Huh... You have my video confession and you expect me to believe that you came here to make terms with me. I am not in kindergarten Akira."
"I mean well for you Oshana. No one knows how much it hurts when you lose the one man you love more than anything else in your life. So I know that you are hurting, but I beg you to not to do anything stupid and regret later."
Hearing her Oshana calmed down a bit and sank in her chair and said,
"This world is a difficult place to trust people, so forgive me if I don't."
"I do not blame you Oshana, but just know that we will not do anything that will put you to risk. So we hope a similar co-operation from your side as well. No one needs to know what happened. That'all. You need to get your thinking straight."
And hearing that she just broke.
"I do not know how my life has turned like this. I am sorry Dr. Nelson, I never wanted to hurt you. But I don't know what got into me. I just..."
"Just wanted to rip off anyone in your way," Akira said.
"Yeah !!!", Oshana said and tried to catch her breath.
"Take care Oshana."
Saying that Akira got up from her seat and walked towards the door. As she crossed the foyer, she saw a scalpel with dried blood on it, placed on the table next to the foyer.
She didn't say a word and walked outside, thinking about how bad it could have become for Dr. Nelson if Oshana had been a bit more careless and ruthless.
As she took the stairs, she put the hood, of her sweatshirt back on her head and then got into the cab. Dr. Nelson got into the cab from the other side. The moment the cab started, Akira looked at Dr. Nelson and said,
"We did the right thing, Right?"
"Yes, we did."
"She badly needed to hear that from us, Right?"
"Yes, she did."
Dr. Nelson smiled as he was amazed that in one moment the confident-sounding girl, was needing his affirmation to feel that she did the right thing.
"I wanted to ask something else as well."
"Go on."
"Erm... about what she said...about your feelings."
But before she could ask anything else, Dr. Nelson looked at her and said,
"Whatever you are thinking in your head, the answer is NO."
