Tom was confused all day. At the hospital he couldn't concentrate. All he thought about was Mary, and what she wanted to do to Wolf and Virginia.
As a doctor he always tried to be the best. he had the respect of his friends collegues and patients. But this time he felt that he's going to lose everything, although no one knew about mary's intentions. No one knew her either. he never went out with her when he was going out with his friends. He never let her come to his clinic or to the hospital if she wasn't comming for some medical tests. And whenever he was out with her, they went to places where he knew that he wouldn't meet any of his friends. Of course he never told Mary about that.
"Why do I feel like this?" He asked himself in his office. He was one of the few surgeons in the hospital who had their own office. Although it was small, but at leaset, it was his personal office. He sat in front of his desk, putting his head in his hands.
"Why do I feel so bad about this? No body knows her, so my reputation is safe" he thought. "But, that couple is a family, they're going to have a baby!" He hit the desk with anger, and got up. he walked around the room, and stopped near the window. But he couldn't stop thinking of her.
At that moment, someone knocked the door.
"Come in" hesaid in a loud and angy voice.
It was the nurse, her face color was pale.
" Doctor?"
"What is it?" he said without looking at her.
"It's Mr. Johnson" her voice was shaky.
He knew something was wrong, and when he turned to face her he saw her terrified face expression, he knew that it's very serious.
"I'm comming" he said and went out with her. "What's wrong with him?" he asked on the way to the patient's room.
"His blood pressure is getting lower, without stopping" she replied.
Tom started to walk faster, almost running.
"Is he awake?" He asked.
"I don't think so. his eyes are opened, but he doesn't respond to anything, even to us."
Finally they got to the room. Another nurse was in there checking the patient's pulse.
"How's he now?" Tom asked her.
"The pulse is too low, he doesn't respond, but the heart is still working."
Tom checked the patient's pulse, and blood pressure. It was getting lower.
" Don't you even think about leaving us!" he said to the patient. He wrote some names of drugs on a piece of paper and gave it to one of the nurses.
"Get those right now, mix them and give him an injection. I'll do a heart massage until you come, so hurry up."
The nurse went out running to get the needed drugs. Tom started to do the heart massage.
"Come on uncle Joe, help me with this." he said. But the patient didn't respond, he kept staring at Tom.
Suddenly, Tom heard the sound of the intensive care machines, announcing no heart beats.
"Uncle Joe! Not now, please!" he said without stopping. "Not now , please! I need you here!"
The other nurse kept staring at Tom. It wasn't allowed for the doctorsto take care of their relatives when they came to the hospital as patients. They should be under the care of another doctor of the same department. Tom didn't tell anyone that Mr. Johnson was his relative, he wanted to be the one who could take care of him, both of them didn't have any other relatives. And no one guessed that they were related because their last names were not the same. Mr. Johnson was his mother's brother.
" Doctor." The nurse said calmly, trying hard not to show that she was shocked to know about Tom's relation to the patient. But Tom didn't stop, he kept trying to bring his uncle back to life.
Finally the other nurse came back.
"No one had these stuff, I.." She paused when she saw Tom staring at her with angry eyes. "I'm late?" she asked.
the other nurse nodded to her in agreement.
Tom just stood there, now staring at his uncle, who was already dead. Tom closed his uncle's eyes with his hand and walked out. At the door, he stopped without turning back and said:
"Time of death: 1:30 AM", and he went to his office.
"What took you you so long?" asked the nurse who stayed at the room.
"I couldn't find these stuff anywhere, so I had to go to the other departments to find them."
"Alright, let's just turn off these machines and cover him."
"Oh, and we must call the morgue and his relatives."
" Doctor Tom is his relative."
"What? Are you sure?"
"He called him uncle Joe."
"Oh my God. He could lose his job!"
"Let's just call the morgue. I'll ask him if we can call someone, or he would prefer to do it."
"Alright, I'll call the morgue now."
They went out. the first nurse, who stayed at the room went to Tom's office. The other one went to do the call.
" Doctor?" the nurse said, openning the door.
"What is it?" Tom replied. His voice full of anger and sadness.
"Is there anyone whom I should call? I mean concerning Mr. Johnson."
"No. he doesn't have anyone. I'll take care of everything. Now, if you please leave me alone. And call me only when there's an emergency."
"Yes doctor." the nurse said and left him.
Tom stared out of the window, and finally he let his tears come out.

At the club, Mary was getting ready for her performance.
"Too bad it's only one song tonight" said the manager of the club.
"I don't think so. It's good that it's only one song." she replied while she was doing her make-up.
"Why? Don't you like it?"
"Oh, I love it. it's just that I'm not in the mood tonight."
"I can see that for sure. It's the third time you clean you make up since the make-up artist left. Is there any way I can help?"
"Thanks Bob, but no one can. But I will stay here tonight. I want to see how does the show look like off the stage." she said, smiling.
"Are your friends comming?"
"What friends?"
"The nice couple from some kingdom, I don't remember the name."
"Oh. No, they're not comming tonight. Virginia is not feeling goog, and Wolf must stay with her."
"Wolf? I thought his name was Warren."
"And Wolfson is his last name. So Wolf is just a nick name."
"I see. Alright, I'll leave you to get ready now. You have only 15 minutes left."
"I'll be there Bob" Mary replied, and after Bob left her room she continued: "When will he learn not to ask so many questions!" She continued doing her make-up.
In the morning, she went home.
"God! I'm tired. I just hope no one calls today." She said to herself.
She went to her bedroom, got undressed and went into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, she dried her body with a towel and went into bed. She was so tired to get dressed, so she slept naked.
*^_^* *^_^* *^_^* *^_^*
Virginia opened her eyes and felt a delicious smell comming from the kitchen. She got up and followed the smell. She entered the kitchen and found Wolf preparing breakfast to be brought to bed.
"You're awake!" he said.
"That smell is all over the house, how could I sleep?"
"Huff-puff, you must stay in bed. Now go back, and I'll bring you the most yummi breakfast."
"I can have it here." Virginia replied, but Wolf didn't let her.
"Go to bed." he said in a commanding voice, then he changed his voice tone to softer "Pleeeeeaaase?"
"O.K., but don't let me wait for long. I would eat you if you come late." she said, waving a finger to him.
"I'll be there in a few minutes my little sausage." he said and continued what he was doing.
