Zack and Meadow were in Meadow's hospital room when Panda came to visit her with Derek . Most of the wound were healed in her body but there were some head injuries which caused her sudden headache and there were other times when she started shivering violently even five blankets were not enough with abdominal pains and Zack had to hold her tightly and murmur her soothing words along with medicines were administered, only then she would calm down. One such episode happened today after she woke up it was probably due to a nightmare that triggered her but on asking she kept quiet.
Zack was called to the doctor's office while he was having lunch with them. He left to talk to him and discuss her health condition he wanted to take her to his home he wanted to spend some time with her and if she lived with him then his house would not be so gloomy. After knocking Zack entered Dr Gupta's room he was a famous neurosurgeon of the country and he was close friend to Zack's father. So, he would call him Uncle in respect instead of formal Dr Gupta.
After sitting down Zack asked " uncle is there some problem, why is she having such attacks. You have done all the investigations and MRI and report came normal. Dr Gupta removed his specs and massaged his tired eyes. These few days he had seen Zack constantly at the presence of young lady and it would have been good if he had not seen her medical reports which spoke something different.
He looked at Zack and chose the straight forward way to talk to him because he knew this young lad very well and what he disliked the most was round about way to manipulate things. So he said " Zack I have known you for quite a while and one thing is sure you had a nature to be responsible and loyal and I have found out that Ms Meadow saved you from a fatal injury by taking it upon herself and you have taken responsibility to be her knight, am I right with my observation".
Zack wanted to ask him how did he found out so much but he knew he was a doctor in military for many years before he retired and he still had many resources to find out about unspoken things. So, he maintained an aloof expression and said " when she took a GSW in her chest for me I saw her smile and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It was full of relief and happiness".
Dr Gupta interrupted him " yes it could have been happiness of achieving relief but do you think it could have been a smile to finally accept death. Do you have any idea what her medical reports say". Zack's face was dark he always knew what she experienced was so horrible that he was even scared to know because he knew he would go on killing spree if he found out". Dr Gupta saw darkened face of Zack and he continued "let me tell you what this report says".
Dr Gupta placed a sonography report of Meadow it said many clinical words which was difficult for him to understand. So, Dr Gupta simplified it for him he explained " this report says she has tears in endometrial layers and vaginal os along with anal tear. She was violently raped for many times during her abduction. This report shows the level of injury and other test shows she was a virgin when assaulted. Do you think in future she would be willing for intimacy and this is just part of the problem". He placed another document and showed it to me.
I looked at the documents and it was a substance abuse testing report it showed presence of meth and heroin in her blood and urine. I looked at Dr Gupta and he nodded " yes she was given drugs in her abduction to make her more compliant and easy to control. Amount shown in the report indicates she had no history of prior usage and was given in these recent days. Those episodes in the morning are results of withdrawal and mental trauma. Now tell me are you willing to invest all your emotions for her or get a woman who is from a good house and no prior history of such trauma".
