Chapter 30 - "What Are You Talking About?"

Chapter 30 :

'What the fuck is she talking about?' thought the stranger as he looked at the doctor with a confused expression.

"E-Excuse me... can you please tell me what exactly did I lose?" asked the stranger while pointing towards Louise.

"Umm... your child," said Louise, "You know, the one you made," she intoned as if she was talking to a child.

"What are you talking about?" queried the stranger as he looked at the receptionist, who gave him a look of disbelief and shook his head in disappointment.

'Well, there goes my date,' thought the stranger while throwing his hands in the air.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you crazy?..... because I know someone who could help you," said the stranger to the doctor. He watched as the doctor gave him a look of disgust and rolled her eyes.

'The nerve of this guy.... and to think I thought he was cute,' thought the receptionist while looking at his nails. He hated people like him.

Liar sounds like a cool word, right? Too bad it's not.

'A single lie discovered is enough to create doubt in every truth expressed,' these were the words his mother lived by, and he lived by and still lives by every word she believed.

The nurse stood silently as he watched the scene before him. He balled his hands in a fist, and he was trembling from anger.

'How dare him' the nurse thought as he walked up towards the stranger and punched him?

Well, at least that's what he'd like to think.

Instead of punching the stranger, he ended up slipping and crashing straight into the stranger's chest. Looking up, the nurse released a nervous laugh as he quickly pushed himself off the stranger.

"S-Sorry there, bro," apologized as he patted the stranger's chest.

'At least he tried,' Louise thought while shrugging, "Well, I'm guessing that you're not romantically involved with the lady you brought here," said Louise.

The stranger puffed his chest and glared at Louise before saying, "Yes, romantically involved, I was never with her,", "Besides, I don't even know her."

The confusion was the only thing that Louise was feeling, although she was the one who asked the question.

"Why are you here then?" she asked, causing everyone to look at her as if she was crazy.

"Well, you see dear," started the receptionist as he came forward and placed his hands on Louise's shoulder, "That guy over there, found her unconscious in the middle of the road and brought her here."

Louise suddenly felt embarrassed for judging him so quickly, "Oh... I apologize for my behavior." she said to the stranger and switched quickly into work mode when she noticed that he accepted her apology.

"So the patient suffered from a serve case of Hypothermia, and because of this, she lost one of her two babies," recited Louise.

A huge blanket of silence surrounded them after she said that.

'Oh my, what such an unlucky girl,' thought the receptionist as he slowly brought his perfectly manicured hand to his mouth, in fear of ruining the silence.

'Why did she have to say it now,' thought the nurse while silently praying for Victoria?

'Huh?' thought the stranger while staring at the doctor in confusion, 'She was pregnant?'

' Ok, now I'm confused... why is everyone so silent? And I didn't complete what I was saying,' thought Louise as she gave them a confused look.

"Oh, so what we're going to do?" asked the stranger.

Louise looked towards him with a look of hopelessness and said, "Sadly, I'm not specialized in that field... this means that our best and the only option is to wait for the Pro's in that field to come from their break."

The stranger watched in disbelief as the doctor, the nurse, and the receptionist sat down and began to have a conversation as if it was any other day.

"Why are you still standing Hon?" asked the receptionist, "Take a seat, we will not bite you.... well that's if you want us to," he continued while flirting.

'Well, there's no use of standing up arguing, so might as well take a seat and relax,' thought the stranger while shrugging. The receptionist latched onto the stranger's arm as soon as he sat down and asked, "So what type of work do you do?"

"I'm a security guard," said the stranger which was not entirely a lie.

The receptionist looked over to where Louise was sitting and wiggled his eyebrows while mouthing, 'Strong.'

"Wow, so that means you could take out a bad guy if any were to come in and attack us?" queried the receptionist as he leaned further into him.

"Uh... yeah, I went through a lot of training before getting verified," replied the stranger.

"S-So Mr, can you teach me how to defend myself?" asked the nurse nervously.

"Uh-"

"Yeah, that'd be cool with you teaching the three of us..... we'd be badass," agreed the receptionist in an excited voice.

"Well, I think I can, but I have to check with my boss first," said the stranger as he ran his hand through his hair.

'And I'm sure he won't let me, because of what I did,' The stranger finished the sentence in his mind.

'Wow, he has more muscles than me,' observed the nurse as he looked at the stranger.

"W-What type of exercise do you do?" he asked

The stranger looked towards the ceiling with his hands running his chin, "For which part of the body?" he asked.

"U-Uh, the abs?" replied the nurse with uncertainty in his tone.

"Well, I do some jumping jacks, crunches, reverse crunches, plank, sides plank, and Russian twist for about 1 minute each, in sets of three," informed the stranger.

"Does it hurt a lot?" asked the nurse.

"Well duh, just think of it as the ladies saying' Pain is Beauty'," said the stranger while checking the time on his watch.

'Boys are still gonna be boys, no matter what' thought Louise in amusement while shaking her head as she watched them.
