Wood's Hospital,
Edith parked her car as she and Ethan came out. Edith walked towards the back seat and took out her hospital white coat, id card and her glasses.
As they both walked towards the main entrance of the hospital, they both saw Lana and Alice arguing with guards. They both frowned about the situation and quickly walked towards them
As soon as they reached there , they heard a guard saying," I'm really sorry mam , but I can't let you in without an appointment or without a visiting code,".
Lana said in a frustrating tone," Ugh ! I'm telling you my grandma is admitted here and we are here to visit her and we didn't know about this rule or else we would have taken the appointment…," before she could continue they heard Edith's voice.
" What's going on here ? ," Edith said while walking towards them.
Lana, Alice and Guard looked at her and took a deep breath of relief.
Before Lana and Alice could say anything , the guard who was standing there moved forward and greeted Edith, he said," Good Morning Dr. Wood,".
Edith nodded and said," Good Morning, What's going on here ?,".
Guard said with a troubled face," Dr. Wood, Ms. Smith and Ms. Wilson are here to meet their grandma but they don't have any appointment or visiting code , that's why I'm not letting them in,".
Edith looked at him and said," Hmm, No problem, Let them get in , they are with me,".
Guard said," Ok,".
Lana and Alice took a deep breath of relief , they were literally arguing with the guard for almost 15 min but the guard didn't even budge from his word and place.
Edith moved towards the glass door and scanned her i.d. card on the machine and the hospital door opened.
Before she entered , she turned around towards the guard and said," Let Mr. James Wilson in , he is also with me , don't stop him, and you did a great job,".
Guard smiled and said," Thank you Dr. Wood , I will remember it and will not stop him,".
Edith nodded and they all entered the hospital. While walking inside the big corridor Lana said," Hush ! you have a beautiful hospital Dr. Wood it doesn't look like a hospital, indeed it's the best hospital in London,".
Alice said with pout," Yeah and a stubborn security also that man didn't budge from his place even after knowing our identity, you have very strict rules Dr. Wood,".
Edith looked at them and chuckled while saying," They are not stubborn , they were just doing their job and following the rule, security of patients and doctors are the most important thing, that's why we don't allow anyone who doesn't have appointment or visiting code until and unless its an emergency, they knew what can happen to them if they didn't do their work properly, Flex will burn them alive if something happen to me or the patients, even every doctor have to confirm their i.d. with their hospital card and face identification and same goes with me, ".
Ethan looked at her and said,'' That's good to hear that you give importance to your patients safety, and by the way which architecture firm designs Wood's hospital, I would love to work with them,".
Edith smiled and said," Spark Archy, my every branch is designed by Spark Archy,".
Ethan looked at her and said,'' Spark Archy, Yeah I know them, Flex Davies is the owner of Spark Archy, he did a great job as expected from the one of the best architecture firms,".
Alice looked at Ethan and said,'' Flex Davies ? Son of Stefan Davies ?, he and his sister are also managing the family business of Davies,".
Edith said," Yeah, he is the son of Stefan Uncle, But he is not managing the Vigilos, Cassie his sister is going to take over the company, Flex is not not interested in taking over the Security and Detective company and Cassie is totally into it, so she will take over it after she return from states,".
Lana looked at her and said," You know them very well, even bro didn't know this much detail,".
Ethan looked at Lana and said," Of Course she will, she is the best friend of them,".
Lana excitedly looked at Edith and said," You are Flex Davies bestfriend ? Oh great , I want to ask , is he hot and handsome , I heard he is but he never gives any interview,".
Edith stopped in her tracks and looked at the over excited Lama and said," He is, he is very hot and handsome,".
Alice looked at Edith when she heard this and asked," Do you like him ?,".
Edith choked on her words while Ethan who heard this suddenly laughed.
Alice and Lana looked at him with wide and confused eyes, they were shocked because Ethan didn't laugh like that after his wife's death and definitely not outside.
Edith looked at him and said in an irritated tone," What so funny Mr. Smith ?,".
Ethan looked at her, stopped laughing and said," Nothing,".
Edith then looked at Lana and Alice and said," No I don't like that idiot, he is just my best friend,".
Alice nodded and said," Ohh, so you don't like anyone,".
Edith again started walking and said in a flat tone," No,".
Lana looked at her and said," Dr. Wood , how old is your friend ? , is he single ?,".
Ethan glared at his stupid sister when he heard her stupid question and thought," I should have ask mom and dad how did I got a sister who is totally opposite from me,".
Edith chuckled and said," He is quite older than you Lana, He is 28, and he is single but not suitable for you,".
Alice chuckled and said," Stop googling on handsome guys Lana, at first you were drooling over Leo,".
Edith looked at them and asked," What? On Leo?, my brother Leo ?,".
Ethan said in embarrased tone," Yeah, your brother Leo, she literally made him uncomfortable,".
Lana pouted and said," It's not my fault , He is just so hot and handsome,".
Edith laughed and said," Lana you are so cute , I swear if he was single I would have played a role of cupid for you, but unfortunately he is dating someone, that brat didn't even tell me his girlfriend's name,".
Lana said with wide eyes," What he is already taken? Holy shit , why Am I so unlucky,".
Alice giggled and said," Don't worry Lana, I'm with you I'm also single,".
Lana looked at her and said," Yeah, but you are already 27 sis, I think you should start dating again, Oh wait ! I think you should date Flex Davies, Dr. Wood just said he is still single and most importantly he is handsome, perfect for you,".
Alice choked on her words and said," Shut up Lana, I'm not gonna date anyone now , and I don't even know him,".
Ethan literally wanted to smack his little sister's head for her stupidity, he looked at Lana and said," He has a 3yr old son Lana,".
Lana looked at him in confusion and said," Huh ? what ? A son ? But Dr. Wood just said he is single,".
Edith turned towards the Elevator and pressed the button then looked at them and said," Yeah he is single but has a son, his wife died while giving birth to Mike,".
Alice saw that sad expression on her face and said," Ugh ! we are really sorry for her stupidness , Dr. Wood,".
Edith didn't say a word and looked down on her phone while all of them entered the elevator. Edith's eyes were misty as she remembered the last words Paris said during her last times.
*Flashback*
Inside the O.T. A beautiful woman covered in sweat was lying down on the hospital bed, she had just given birth to her son and was taking deep breaths. While on the other side stood three people, 2 tall guys and a girl holding a baby boy in her arms. Their eyes were filled with fear, grief, tears and emptiness.
The woman on the bed was none other than Paris Davies, Wife of Flex Davies.
Flex Paris's husband , Edith and Max, her bestfriends was standing there looking at Paris who was taking her last breath.
They all were shocked when the doctor said that they can only save a Child or a Mother but before they could choose, Paris already made her choice and chose to save the baby. And so the doctor did. But now Paris was dying in front of them, and they all were helpless and couldn't do anything to save their bestfriend.
Flex looked at his wife and held her hand tightly and said in a heany voice while tears were rolling down from his eyes non stop," Why ? Why did you do this ? Why didn't you tell me about the complication ? We would have saved you, Why Paris ? Why ?,".
Paris smiled in pain and said,'' Flex , I'm sorry but please never blame our little boy for my death and I will always be there with you , with our family, with our boy, with Edie , with Max,".
Edith and Max also came forward and held her another hand and Edith shouted at her," You can't do this Paris, we have decided to stay together forever, how can you leave us behind, how can you leave this little champ with us, how are we gonna take care of him without you ,".
Max said," Yes, we have not even decided his name Paris, you can't do this to us, to Flex , To your baby , no please,".
Paris looked at her baby and said while taking her last breath," I'm not going anywhere, I will be with you all ,with my baby but the only difference will be I will be not visible, but will live in your hearts guys, Edie , Max and Flex please don't blame the baby and take care of him, tell him about me and please name him Mike , our Mike, my Mike and promise me that you all will never leave each other ,* Beep Beep*," After saying that she stopped breathing.
" PARIS...…..," shouted all three of them, that moment they felt like their soul left their body when they saw the lifeless body of Paris. Flex sat lifelessly on the floor while staring at his wife's face.
"Noooooo, please no, you can't leave me , please , please, Edith , Max please tell her not to play pranks on me, I don't like pranks like this, please please , say something,". Flex screamed his pain and fear while his whole body was trembling.
Max hugged his best friend and looked at Edith who was staring at the crying Baby in her hands and then she looked at Paris and walked towards Flex hugged him tightly and all three of them cried their hearts out.
*Flashback ended*.
" Promise me that you all will never leave each other," these were the last words she said.
Edith's hands were trembling and she muttered to herself," I'm sorry Paris, we can't keep our promise, we are not together anymore, nothing is like before , everything is changed, he left us, he left me, I'm sorry , I'm really sorry, but I promise I will take care of Mike, and will never leave him alone,".
Ethan observed her action and was confused to his wits, he called," Dr. Wood," but no response, so he shook her shoulder and said," Dr. Wood ?,".
Edith came out of her trance and looked at him and said," Yes,".
Ethan looked at her red eyes and said," Are you fine?,".
Edith said with a forced smile," Ahh! Yes Yes, I was just thinking about something,". Just as she said, the elevator also stopped at the right time and she quickly walked out.
Lana , Alice and Ethan came out from the elevator and looked at Edith.
Edith said," My cabin is on the right side, and you Grandma's ward is on the left side , room no. 504, you all go first I will come in 5 mins,".
Ethan said," Okay," after that he , Lana and Alice walked towards the left side while Edith walked towards the right side towards her cabin...
