After walking for three minutes, Moira Anderson and Monica arrived In front of the office of Doctor Modric.
"Knock! Knock!" Moira Anderson knocked on the door of the office of Doctor Modric softly while taking a deep breath.
"Are you nervous, Mom??." Monica asked Moira Anderson softly while looking at her with concern.
"No...Well, maybe a little." Moira Anderson replied Monica softly In a stuttering tone while bowing her head.
"It's okay to be nervous, Mom...I'm...,"
"Your Excellency!!" Doctor Modric called out to Moira Anderson, Interrupting Monica from saying anything further.
"Yes, Doctor Modric?." Moira Anderson said to Doctor Modric softly as she turned towards him with a questioning look.
"You...You...You knocked." Doctor Modric said to Moira Anderson in a stuttering tone while scratching his non-itchy hair.
"I knocked? Oh! I remember now!! Hahaha! Forgive me, Doctor Modric...I was carried away by my worries." Moira Anderson apologetically said to Doctor Modric while laughing awkwardly.
"I see...Shall we go In and discuss what brought you to my office??." Doctor Modric replied Moira Anderson warmly while looking at her Inquisitively.
"Yeah...Lead the way." Moira Anderson said to Doctor Modric In a stuttering tone while taking a deep breath.
"Alright." Doctor Modric said to Moira Anderson softly while leading her and Monjca into his office.
While Doctor Modric led Moira Anderson, and Monica Into his office, Moira Anderson was unbelievably quiet because she thought she made a complete fool of herself while laughing awkwardly in front of Doctor Modric.
"Your Excellency! Welcome to my humble office...Please have a seat...You too, Miss Anderson." Doctor Modric said to Moira Anderson and Monica warmly while pointing towards two office chairs.
"Thank you, Doctor Modric." Moira Anderson replied Doctor Modric warmly while smiling at him gratefully.
"Hahaha!! Please don't mention...It's actually an honour to have the First Lady in my very own office so...
"I'm sorry to say this but I didn't came to your office to chit-chat with you so I'd like for us to go straight to business." Moira Anderson said to Doctor Modric sternly, interrupting him from saying what he wanted to say.
"Oh...I see...Forgive me, Your Excellency and I'd also like to go straight to business." Doctor Modric replied Moira Anderson In a stuttering tone while clearing his throat.
"Good! You said My husband have Chronic Kidney Disease and it's already at the end-stage and you've explained to us that it isn't curable." Moira Anderson said to Doctor Modric with a pause while using her handkerchief to clean the tears that was streaming down her cheeks.
"Yes, I did...So?." Doctor Modric replied Moira Anderson softly while giving her a questioning look.
"Well, I wanna know what really caused that disease so that we can avoid It in the future after the surgery becomes a success because I know that my husband doesn't smoke and he doesn't...he...he...and he doesn't...
"It's okay, Your Excellency...I know you are pretty shaken up with the sad news but smoking doesn't cause Chronic Kidney Disease...Like I said earlier in the ward...Diabetes is the most common cause of Chronic kidney disease...And you know the kidney removes waste and excess water from the body...Chronic Kidney Disease occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to work at a level needed for day-to-day life...Another cause of CKD is high blood pressure and this condition can also affect your kidneys." Doctor Modric explained to Moira Anderson while interrupting her.
"So what you are trying to tell me is that my husband had diabetes and high blood pressure all these years??." Moira Anderson asked Doctor Modric while sobbing.
"No, I didn't said he had diabetes and high blood pressure...I only said CKD is caused by.....
"It's okay, Doc! There is nothing you will say here to my mom that would make her feel okay or better because she's quite shaken and It feels like her world just crumbled so the only way to rebuild her world is to perform the surgery for my dad as soon as possible." Monica said to Doctor Modric warmly while interrupting him from saying anything else.
"Well that's gonna happen on the 16th of this month." Doctor Modric replied Monica warmly while turning himself around on his turning office chair with a warm smile on his face.
"You are kidding, right?!" Monica asked Doctor Modric In anger while glaring at him.
"No, I'm not." Doctor Modric replied Monica nonchalantly while turning himself around on his turning office chair.
"You must be kidding! My dad kidney is not working properly and you expect him to get disconnected from those pipes you fixed on him and walk home just like that??!!" Monica asked Doctor Modric angrily while standing up from her chair as she glared at him.
"No, Miss Anderson! Your dad won't get up from that bed till his surgery is a success." Doctor Modric replied Monica calmly while looking at Moira Anderson who was sobbing hard.
"Are you kidding?! What If he collapses again??." Monica asked Doctor Modric angrily while grabbing his white doctor's coat and shaking him vigorously as she glared at him.
"That won't happen under our watch as long as we are giving him his medication until the 16th of this month before he undergoes surgery." Doctor Modric replied Monica warmly while struggling to free himself from Monica's grip.
"Monica, leave him alone!!" Moira Anderson said to Monica In a weak tone while sobbing hard.
"No, mother." Monica replied Moira Anderson In tears as she glared at Doctor Modric while shaking him vigorously.
"Miss Anderson let go of my coat...Please." Doctor Modric said to Monica In a pleading tone while struggling to free himself from her tight grip.
"I'll do so If you agree to let my dad undergo surgery this instant." Monica replied Doctor Modric sternly without batting an eye.
"Monica, leave him alone this instant!!" Moira Anderson yelled at Monica angrily while sobbing.
"No way, mother!! I'll only do so If he agrees to let dad undergo surgery this instant." Monica replied Moira Anderson while glaring at Doctor Modric.
"Do you know that you are assaulting me??." Doctor Modric asked Monica In pain while staring at her intently.
"I don't care not until you do what I asked you to do." Monica replied Doctor Modric sternly while glaring at him.
"I said he's gonna undergo surgery on the 16th of this month which is just seven days from now and that is final...Deal with it, Miss Anderson." Doctor Modric said to Monica angrily while freeing himself from her tight grip and gasping for air.
"No way! It's not happening!! My dad is gonna undergo surgery right this instant whether you like it or not so deal with it, Doc!!" Monica replied Doctor Modric angrily while yelling at him.
"But that's Impossible because a kidney donor won't be available till on the 16th except your mom is willing to pay $3.7 billion because I met with one kidney donor before you came to the hospital and he said he is available even if we ask him to do it now but he is asking for $3.7 billion...We can't allow your mom to spend $3.7 billion for your dad's surgery when there is someone who said he can do it on the 16th for a...
"Why didn't you say this sooner?? Mom, get up!! let's go!!" Monica asked Doctor Modric angrily while asking her mom to get up as she walked towards the exit door of the office of Doctor Modric.
"Where are we going??." Moira Anderson asked Monica anxiously as soon as she joined her.
"To go meet dad!! I'm sure he wants this surgery as much as I do." Monica replied Moira Anderson sternly while walking hastily towards the V.I.P Ward of President James Anderson.
"Did you heard the amount he mentioned??." Moira Anderson asked Monica anxiously as she walked alongside her because she wasn't sure Monica heard what Doctor Modric said.
"I did but I have a feeling that everything is gonna be fine." Monica replied Moira Anderson while opening the door of the V.I.P Ward of President James Anderson.
"I hope so...I hope so, Monica." Moira Anderson replied Monica with a shaky voice while walking into the V.I.P Ward of President James Anderson followed by Monica who closed the door on her way in.
"I see you ladies are back...Ahem!! Ahem!!" President James Anderson said to Monica and Moira Anderson as soon as he saw them walking towards him while coughing.
"Take it easy, Dad." Monica said to President James Anderson while handing him a glass of water.
"Thanks." President James Anderson thanked Monica warmly while giving Moira Anderson a look that says "When did Monica started becoming so sweet to us."
"Dad, It breaks my heart to see you confined to a hospital bed....
"I'm gonna be discharged soon so don't be sad or heartbroken...I'm gonna be fine...It's just seven days and everything will be fine and over." President James Anderson said to Monica warmly with a smile on his face while Interrupting her, preventing her from saying what she wanted to say.
"Dad, I asked Doctor Modric to perform the surgery for you today and he demanded for $3.7 billion In order for you to undergo surgery immediately." Monica replied President James Anderson warmly while staring at his eyeballs intently because she wanted to know if what she said went down well with him.
"Did I asked you to do that?! He already said I'll be undergoing surgery on the 16th!! Why persuade him to do the surgery now??!! Huh?!!" President James Anderson asked Monica angrily while glaring at her In fury.
"Because we don't know what's gonna happen In the next ten minutes not to talk of seven days from now!! Glare at me all you want but It's the truth, Dad...And you know It!!" Monica replied President James Anderson angrily while yelling at him.
"Here I thought she was being sweet...I guess I was mistaken...People don't change easily." President James Anderson said to himself inwardly while staring at Monica.
"Fine, It's the truth but....
"Dad, It's better safe than sorry so you are undergoing this surgery whether you like it or not cos It's for the well being of your health and I'm not ready to lose you yet!! Seriously, I'm not!!" Monica said to President James Anderson further, interrupting and preventing him from saying what he wanted to say.
"Fine!! You are right but....
"But what??." Monica asked President James Anderson Impatiently.
"I don't have $3.7 billion." President James Anderson said to Monica In a sad tone while bowing his head in shame.
"Hahahahaha!! Are you kidding me??." Monica asked President James Anderson in shock.
"No, my dear." President James Anderson replied Monica sadly while bowing his head.
"Off course you are!! How can you not have $3.7 billion?!! You are the President of the united states of America so I don't get...
"Say something, Dad!!" Monica yelled at President James Anderson when she got irritated because he kept her quiet.
"Monica, I just finished building a university and in case you don't know...building of that university amounted to billions of dollars so I don't have $3.7 billion...I'm sorry." President James Anderson said to Monica sadly while looking at her apologetically.
"(Sighs!!!) As much as I'm angry with you right now...I won't yell at you cos that's gonna make things worse but you have to do something concerning your health!! You have to do something, Dad!! Anything!! Please!!" Monica replied President James Anderson while sighing heavily and shedding tears profusely.
