Lanni's heart sank to the pits of her stomach. The last word she wanted to hear was 'hospital' right now. Or ever. Her pulse picked up its pace as she asked to confirm that her secretary had gotten the right name and the hospital had asked for her. The worst kind of imaginations ran through her mind even though she tried to control them and by the time she received the call on line one, her palm was sweaty and her voice a frail mess.
"Li Lanni speaking."
"Hello, this is Dr. Su from HOH Hospital. I'm calling about the appointment made for Mrs. Ji. The meeting starts in a couple of hours and I wanted to confirm whether you are coming."
Lanni's brows dipped for a moment as she gathered her thoughts. HOH Hospital?
"Oh! It's Dr. Su!" Her voice uncontrollably pitched when she finally comprehended it.
