Offer To The CEO

Friday, continued …

Anna and Hou Yi reluctantly separated, but Hou Yi refused to move from beside his wife on the bed and they turned towards the voice. It was then that they noticed it was Dr Lang along with other medical staff. A frustrated Hou Yi realised they would have to stop what they were doing until the medical staff left.

Anna, however, was embarrassed. Here she was a hospital patient and was caught red handed by the medical staff making out with her husband. She started to go bright red and tried to hide her face in Hou Yi's chest. Through observing her Hou Yi quickly realised how embarrassed Anna felt. He reluctantly moved from the bed and sat down in the chair beside the bed, so they could deal with the medial staff quickly.

Dr Lang moved towards them, taking the chart from the end of the bed and looking through it. He was annoyed with his colleagues refused to talk to CEO and Madam Hou, as they were concerned about their careers if what they had to say was not accepted. He returned the chart to its position and carefully sat on a corner of the bed to talk to both.

"I can only apologise for interrupting you CEO and Madam Hou. I understand that you are newlyweds, and I suspect that you would like us to get things over with as quickly as possible so we can leave you alone." Dr Lang looked directly at Anna who was still blushing.

"Madam Hou, I understand that today was the first time that you have spent any significant time out of bed, since your leg was broken. How do you feel?"

"Exhausted once I got back into bed. I fell asleep for a few hours, and the next thing that I remember was that I was on a trolley, apparently being brought back here after a number of tests."

"The nursing staff indicated it was almost impossible to wake you. Presently sleep is your body's way of telling you to slow down and let yourself heal. As to the tests, we did all the tests we needed to plus a few others to check some additional things. the radiologists and relevant specialists, who are behind me, have reviewed the tests."

"If you have any questions, they can answer them directly. The tests and scans generally were what we expected for two to three days after the types of assaults you were subjected to. The only tests, which were not a priority Wednesday or yesterday, was whether there was damage to your reproductive system. I spoke briefly to your husband about this yesterday…"

Anna shot Hou Yi a look that said, 'and you did not tell me about their concerns', and he simply dropped his head unable to look her in the eye, realising that he should have spoken to her about it.

Anna squeezed his hand, understanding that the discussions could only have occurred when Amanda and Phillipa were there, it was inappropriate, and he then forgot to raise it with her when they departed.

"…The concerns we have come from the area where you were punched and kicked. While the results are inconclusive, and only provide us with a baseline, nothing is detected that immediately raises concerns. It does not mean that there is something that is hidden or not detectable by the tests presently. We will for a few months keep monitoring to detect early any problems."

"However, when you decide in the future to have children, you will need to maintain regular contact with us, in case there are problems on conceiving or keeping pregnancies we can delve deeper to see is the issues relate to the assault. And before you ask, sometimes despite all the advances in medical science we cannot be absolutely certain that something remains undetectable."

"We also can see that the scans show that the swelling on the brain noticed on Wednesday her gone down dramatically, which is good. Otherwise, there is nothing to note from the tests. We will repeat a number of tests and scans on Monday or Tuesday, for another review and determining your discharge plan, including the nursing required on release."
