"Well, unfortunately, she died from this hospital as well. She had been receiving treatment for her depression in this hospital so many thought that she jumped from this building to commit suicide. But I recently heard that it could be a murder. I was just wondering if maybe you happened to know her by chance?? I just want to know more about her condition."
Aiden said as an attempt to sound him out. But Dr. Coolman knew very well how to evade his questioning.
"Well, as much as I wanted to help you with that, unfortunately, I can't. Every patients' record was confidential, So I'm afraid, I can't help you much."
"Oh.. I see... I already thought that much. You know. I was just trying my luck..."
Aiden said awkwardly before he nodded his head in understanding.
"But Dr. Coolman. By any chance, do you happen to hear any gossip related to that incident?? I was really curious to know about what happened to that friend of mine."
"Hmmm... That I am not sure of. But I can try and check it for you. How about you tell me her name. Maybe it would ring a bell for me."
"Oh, yeah. Her name is Samara. Samara Morgan. She was actually a mute patient diagnosed with clinical depression. So if she happened to be your patient before, maybe she might stand out."
There was a slight difference in Dr. Coolman's expression when he heard Aiden mentioned Samara's name.
But Dr. Coolman's expression immediately went back to normal in the speed of light.
At the same time, the way he gripped his fountain pen also tightened a little bit.
"Hmm... Let me check my records first if I happened to have her records with me. I'll go and see what I can do to help you. If you may excuse me."
Dr. Coolmam said before he stood up and went behind his file cabinets.
'CLICK! CLICK!'
As soon as Dr. Cookman left, Aiden heard the familiar sound of someone playing with his pen.
It was the same sound that came from the annoying ghost nurse that he first met in that very same room as well.
Aiden made a series of breath in breath out exercise to clear his mind and focus his attention on something else as he tried to avoid thinking about the presence of the annoying ghost nurse in the same room as his.
But it seemed that the annoying ghost nurse did not have any intention of letting him go peacefully either.
'CLICK! CLICK!'
The sound of the retracting pen intensified as the annoying ghost nurse came closer to where Aiden was sitting.
Learning from his past experience at the elevator, Aiden no longer tried to close his eyes but instead fixed his eyes looking at his hand.
If others would be in the same situation as his right now, maybe they would have been praying by now. But Aiden was different.
Because what he did instead was he kept his head low while he silently started to recite the multiplication table.
Just like her mother, Aiden also no longer believed that there was this supposed Big Guy Almighty who art in heaven.
This belief was further intensified when he met Nathalia, the Queen of Darkness who also claimed herself to be a demi-god
Thus Aiden no longer bothered himself about praying whenever he was in a tight situation.
He reckoned that there was no one in particular who would be listening to his plea anyway nor would there be anyone who would come to his rescue when he needed one.
As Aiden continued to mutter under his breath, he saw someone on his peripheral vision.
The other party was clearly wearing a light blue scrub suit and he was standing next to him!
It was exactly as how the annoying ghost nurse looked like in Aiden's memory!!!
"CLICK CLICK!"
The clicking of the pen sounded clearer this time as if it was just right beside him.
Which confirmed that the annoying ghost nurse was now, indeed standing just at his left side.
At the same time, on his right side, Aiden also noticed that the temperature was starting to drop.
Then out of nowhere, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation as if there were long hairs falling on his shoulder blades.
This creepy encounter was made a lot creepier when the faint smell of blood started to permeate the area as well.
"Gosh! What now?! Did they finally decided to gang up and spook the hell out of me in this untimely manner??!"
Aiden asked himself in frustration when he realized that the high school girl ghost was also present in the room and was now occupying the space on his right side.
Great!
Just great!
"Now, I have two ghosts standing like sentinels on both of my sides."
Aiden scoffed and said under his breath to humor himself.
"Aiden??? Where are you???"
Out of the blue, Aiden heard Nathalia's voice inside his head.
From the way her voiced sounded, it seemed that Nathalia was worried about something.
"Nathalia?? Are you also capable of sensing my distress from a distance??"
Aiden was not sure if he could be able to communicate with Nathalia through telepathy but he still tried it out.
There was no harm in trying after all.
"I said Where are you?!!!"
But instead of answering Aiden's question, Nathalia asked him again with a more urgent tone this time.
"Err... I am in Dr. Coolman's office. Relax..."
Although Aiden was not sure why Nathalia was so eager to learn where he was currently at, he still gave her an honest answer.
"Get out of that place."
"Bu-----"
"I said NOW!"
"Errr??? Okay."
Sitting in between two ghosts was indeed a frightening experience itself
But Aiden could definitely tell for sure that there was nothing more terrifying than a mad Queen of Darkness.
So before everything could even tip to his disadvantage and before he could regret anything, he already decided to leave the place, just like how he was told.
