Chapter 33: The caller
The doctor's face was etched with concern as he watched the phone ring for the sixth time. He had been trying to reach Kiara to inform her of her husband's condition, but she hadn't been answering. He couldn't help but worry – was something wrong? Was she okay? He shook his head, trying to focus on the task at hand.
"What could be keeping her so busy? Where could she be?" he wondered, his worry evident on his face. Should he go to her apartment to tell her in person, or should he try calling her again? He was sure she must be worried sick by now. He paced the floor, his mind racing with questions and concerns.
With a sigh, he decided to call her one more time. When there was still no answer, he resigned himself to the fact that he would have to go to her apartment in person. He gathered up the things he would need to take with him, then walked out of his office.
