"The Doctor said I have....President James Anderson said to Monica sadly with a pause while staring at her with pain-filled eyes.
"The Doctor said you have what??." Monica asked President James Anderson worriedly while looking at him in fear.
"Miss Anderson!" A male Doctor called Monica warmly as soon as he walked into the V.I.P ward of President James Anderson.
"Yes?." Monica replied the Doctor warmly while turning towards him.
"We've been waiting for you." The Doctor said to Monica warmly while smiling at her and closing the door of the V.I.P ward.
"Oh! I'm sorry I kept you waiting." Monica replied the doctor apologetically while cleaning her sweaty hands on her clothes.
"I'm Doctor Modric and it's a pleasure to meet you." The Doctor introduced himself to Monica warmly while extending his hands towards her for a handshake.
"I'm Monica Anderson and I wanna know what's wrong with my dad and I mean right now!!" Monica replied Doctor Modric sternly while taking his hands for a handshake.
"Wow! Straight to business...Okay, I'm gonna tell you what's wrong with your dad but I need to be sure that you can handle what I'm about to tell you before I proceed." Doctor Modric said to Monica warmly while looking at her Inquisitively.
"Try me." Monica replied Doctor Modric sternly while glaring at him.
"Okay! Miss Anderson...Your Father has Chronic Kidney Disease and It's already on the end-stage...Diabetes is the most common cause of this kidney disease....And there's no cure for it...but treatment can help relieve the symptoms and stop it from getting worse but your dad's case is already at the end-stage " Doctor Modric said to Monica sadly while staring at her.
"W...W...What does that mean??." Monica asked Doctor Modric In a stuttering tone.
"I know you can't take it that's why I didn't wanna tell you now...Just look at you...Your lips are shaking...When I told your mother she passed out but here you are staring at me with fear...Anyways, Your father's kidney is inactive...That's to say his kidneys are no longer working properly." Doctor Modric said to Monica warmly while turning his back to leave the ward.
"What?! His kidneys are no longer working properly??!! How come??!!" Monica asked Doctor Modric In a frightened tone.
"I know you are scared that your dad is gonna die but I can tell you that he's gonna live because we've booked him for surgery on the 16th...For now he has to stay here and wait till 16th before he can go for surgery and we are gonna make sure he takes his medications or else he is gonna pass out again and we can't afford for him to pass out since It's too dangerous." Doctor Modric said to Monica warmly while opening the door of the V.I.P ward.
"You have nothing to worry about...Just relax and take a deep breath...Your father is gonna be okay, I assure you." Doctor Modric said to Monica further before walking out of the ward and shutting the door of the V.I.P ward on his way out.
"Whoah!! That was one hell of a shocker." Monica said to herself softly while turning to her dad.
"I know what you are about to say but like the doctor assured...Everything is gonna be fine, Okay?." President James Anderson said to Monica who was in shock while embracing her.
"I hope and pray so." Monica replied President James Anderson softly while staring at him with pain-filled eyes.
"Yeah! After I get discharged from this place...I'm gonna ask the chefs to cook us an exquisite meal and we are gonna have dinner together as a family...What do you say??." President James Anderson said to Monica warmly while looking at her anxiously.
"No need for you to be anxious, Dad! I'm in...Just stay strong and hang in there, Okay?." Monica replied President James Anderson warmly while smiling at him with tears flowing down from her eyes.
"Woohoo!! Now I can't wait to get out of here!!" President James Anderson said out excitedly while grinning.
"Me too...I hate hospitals." Moira Anderson and Monica said out chorously while looking at him with pain-filled eyes.
"Honey...Monica...I'm scared." President James Anderson said to Moira Anderson and Monica in a stuttering tone while shedding tears and forcing a smile on his face.
"It's okay, Honey! We are here for you, Okay?." Moira Anderson said to President James Anderson while taking his hand and squeezing it tenderly.
"I'm going to see that Doctor now!!" Monica yelled in a sad tone with tears falling down from her eyes while turning towards the exit door of the V.I.P ward.
"Wait for me!" Moira Anderson said to Monica hastily while following her out of the V.I.P ward to meet with Doctor Modric.
As soon as Monica and Moira Anderson came out of the ward, some patients' relatives started whispering to themselves as they watched Monica and Moira Anderson walking through the hospital hallway, heading towards the office of Doctor Modric.
"I wonder what they are whispering about." Monica said to herself warmly while stopping on her tracks and glancing at the patients' relatives.
"I guess they are whispering and gossiping about your astounding acting skills." Moira Anderson said to Monica warmly while chuckling softly.
"I can't believe my ears right now...Are you kidding?? You call me fooling myself in front of those crowd astounding?? That's....,"
"Can you stop being sarcastic?? You know you were amazing back there so why did you say you were fooling yourself?? Were you trying to make me feel better by badmouthing yourself??." Moira Anderson asked Monica emotionally while staring at her Inquisitively and caressing her face.
"(Sighs!!) I guess I was." Monica replied Moira Anderson sadly while sighing heavily.
"Awwn! Sweetie, I think you were great back there and you've always been a smart kid so stop trying to be someone you are not...Be yourself...You shouldn't worry about what I or your dad or the world thinks about you...Just be yourself, Okay??." Moira Anderson emotionally said to Monica while embracing her and caressing her back.
"That was sweet, Mom! I wish you could be like this everytime...It would be so nice." Monica emotionally said to Moira Anderson while shedding tears.
"It's okay, Sweetie! Can you stop crying now??." Moira Anderson said to Monica In a consoling tone while patting her back softly.
"Can I stay like this for some minutes??." Monica asked Moira Anderson emotionally while looking at her with hope-filled eyes.
"Hahaha! Stay like what? I don't get...
"Mom, I meant can I hug you for some minutes....It's nice being in your warm hands." Monica said to Moira Anderson warmly while tightening the embrace.
"Oh! Okay! Wow! A bear hug! That's nice." Moira Anderson replied Monica warmly while forcing a smile to hide the pain she was feeling from Monica's tight grip.
"This was what I desperately wanted...I wanted to hug my mom and get advice from her and now that it's happening I can't help but cry." Monica said to herself while sobbing.
"Oh, Sweetie! Stop crying would you? Why are you even crying??." Moira Anderson asked Monica emotionally while looking at her worriedly.
"I'm crying because you asked me to be myself and being myself Is what I did back at the university and It means a lot to me that you think I'm astounding." Monica replied Moira Anderson emotionally while sobbing profusely.
"Is that why you are crying? C'mon, girl! If acting Is what makes you feel like yourself then I'm happy to hear that." Moira Anderson said to Monica warmly while patting her on the back.
"Are you serious?? You are gonna let me be an actress??." Monica asked Moira Anderson emotionally while looking at her with hope-filled eyes.
"Of course, Sweetie! All I want is for you to be happy so..."YES, I'M GONNA LET YOU BE AN ACTRESS AS LONG AS IT MAKES YOU HAPPY." Moira Anderson replied Monica warmly while smiling brightly at her.
"OH MY GOD!! I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EARS BUT THANK YOU!! I'M GRATEFUL." Monica said to Moira Anderson excitedly while jumping and smiling at her gratefully.
"It's nice to see you this happy I must say." Moira Anderson said to Monica warmly while smiling brightly at her.
"Promise me that you won't go back on your words." Monica said to Moira Anderson while looking at her with hope-filled eyes.
"I promise, Sweetie! I can't afford to break your heart." Moira Anderson replied Monica warmly with a bright smile on her face before walking towards the office of Doctor Modric.
"Awwn! I can't believe this is happening!! Mom, wait for me." Monica said to herself while squeaking and running excitedly towards Moira Anderson.
