'Come in, oh Daniel it's you, good morning, come sit.'
'Good morning sir, thank you, you called me sir.'
'Oh yes I did, I wanted to talk to you about one of your patients, he was discharged yesterday by Lieutenant Aubrey, she did this because…'
'No sir I don't want you to take her side, you also know what she did was wrong, I scolded her because I believed she will never do something like this without permission.'
'Wait what you scolded her. Oh no the girl got scolded because of my forgetfulness.'
'Wait I am sorry sir but I am not able to understand what you are saying.'
'What I am saying is that Aubrey discharged that patient because I asked her too and told her that I will personally tell you about this matter but with all the things happening around I forgot to tell you.'
'So she was saying the truth when she said that she did what you asked her to do.'
'Yes, she was.'
'But still, sir what was the reason.'
'Reason, you remember, Aubrey told you about one of the CIA guys being with her 24/7 due to personal reasons.'
'Yes sir, so what does this have to do with that.'
'Actually, the whole matter is.....'
After dr. brown got to know everything he felt very bad that he scolded Aubrey for no reason, so after talking to the chief he left his office and went straight towards the interns' restroom, he needed to apologize to Aubrey. The girl was innocent still didn't oppose or shouted back at him, she definitely had patience.
-------------------------------------------
(In the interns' restroom)
As soon as Aubrey interred the room she was greeted by all the interns present there and she wished them back, but then she noticed that Rachel was sitting at a corner silently. So she went towards her to talk to her.
'Hey, Rachel good morning.'
'Morning.'
'Only morning, not a good morning.'
'Hmm.'
'Hey what happened, are you okay.'
'No, no I am not okay Aubrey.'
'Why, what happened.'
'Yesterday she was in emergency surgery with dr. brown and they lost the patient, so she is sad since yesterday''. Told Naomi, the other intern.
'Oh, I am so sorry Rachel I was not knowing it, I was so much into what happened with me that I went home without meeting you.'
'Wait what happened with you. Asked Rachel.
'She was scolded by Dr. Brown yesterday, for discharging a patient without his permission', told Zoe.
'What, but why did you do it, and dr. brown scolded you I seriously cannot believe it, tell naa, again asked Rachel.
'Maybe because she is no more his favorite', said Noah.
'Shut up Noah, you tell us Aubrey', said Amelia.
'I discharged the patient with the permission and order from the chief, he said he will himself tell dr. brown about it, but I guess he forgot to with all the work, that is why Dr. Brown did not know about this, and as you said dr. brown and you lost a patient yesterday, so maybe his mood was off so he scolded me, but it is okay I totally understand him, it was not his mistake.'
'Yeah, right, he will never scold you or anyone until he is sure of everything, don't worry as soon as he comes tell him everything and I am sure he will understand, okay, don't worry.'
'Yeah, thanks, Rachel.'
*knock-knock*
'Excuse me guys, sorry to interrupt, ah, Aubrey may I have a word with you.'
'Yes sir.'
'In my office, please.'
'Coming sir.'
--------------------------------
Both went towards dr. brown's office entered and then dr. brown asked Aubrey to sit.
'Sir, actually…'
'Wait, first me please I am already dying of guilty of what I did yesterday, I mean I should have listened to you…'
'I know, sir.'
'… but you know what I seriously had a bad day yesterday, I know that does not allow me to make your day awful…'
'Sir, I….'
'... you what chief just called me in his office and told me everything, so I am really very sorry, I shouldn't have shouted at you like that, I don't have any rights….'
'Yes, sir I know…'
'….. But you know I had an emergency surgery yesterday and unfortunately, we lost the patient, so my mood was already very bad and when Noah and Zoe told me about what you did I was real mad and scolded you so badly. So I am very sorry to you. I really am sorry, belief me Aubrey, I seriously didn't mean a single word I said yesterday. I am sorry.'
*sigh* 'okay sir, if you are done let me speak, with your permission.'
'Yes, yes please go on.'
'Okay so firstly I am not mad that you scolded me yesterday as you were not knowing the reason, so it is not your fault, I mean I felt a little bad that you did not allow me to speak, but in the morning everyone told me about the patient that we, unfortunately, lost yesterday so I realized why you were in such a bad mood yesterday and secondly you have all the rights to scold me whenever you want to, I don't know about civilian but being in an army collage the first thing we are taught is no matter what your senior is always right, he said you made a mistake then you made a mistake, you will get punishment for it then you will. So it is alright, no harm done, but just one request sir next time me or someone else, first listen to the person.'
'Sure, sure I will, so I am forgiven right?'
'Yes, sir you are.'
'Hmm, you know Aubrey the reason why I was mad at you was that I trusted you.'
'I understand sir.'
'Since I saw you, I do not know why but you remind me of my younger sister.'
'Really, well that's a compliment for me.'
Both laughed and then Aubrey excused herself and left the office as it is almost time for her first shift.
She could be soft and sensitive but always had her armor.
