Jerlina expected he'd let go of her but his hold on her wrist tightened and he glared at her.
"For that? No! I don't have to be there in person. Bye, Emma. I am busy."
"..."
"I'm with... Don't call me back, bye."
He ended the call.
Jerlina pouted seeing his mad-looking face.
Well, why is he mad at me?
The doctor called them in at that moment and Jerlina ran inside. But the moment she saw that chair, her stomach churned.
"It's okay. I am here," Jeremy held her hand. He didn't seem mad now. She tried to get out of his hold, but he didn't let go.
Jerlina sucking in her breath, plopped on that chair of doom. The bright light that won't let you see around you, that mouth prop, that clinking, drilling, sucking noises...
Ugh!
Jerlina's ears felt stuffed, out of fear.
Usually, she'd be answering to the dentist, but it was Jeremy who answered for her this time. He even had a copy of her dental records.
