Chapter 5 42 years

But still, I can't believe my eyes, he's really 42 years old! I started to analyze the document better, to see if it is really true. My eyes went to him when I heard the sound of his laughter. I returned the document immediately.

" Wow… " What happened? Do you believe now? " He kept the document. I nodded. â€" You're really 42 years old, I feel terrible right now. His smile died. - Why? I swallowed hard, unsure whether or not I should tell him. â€"

A few minutes ago, I was wondering whether or not I should buy you a coffee, in gratitude for what you did for me â I snorted â€" But now knowing your age, I see that it's a really bad idea. I don't know where my head was.

I lowered my head, trying to hide my embarrassment. A mature and handsome man like him would never have

agreed to go out with me. - I love coffee. I looked at him, surprised. - Are you serious? â€" I arched my eyebrow.

staring. - Why not? he shrugged â Does my age prevent us from having a coffee? I denied it. â€" No, but… I

started, but he interrupted. - What? give up? I denied it. â€" I believe you have something more interesting to do.

How to date the woman you want, for example. Of course I didn't say that out loud. â€" I think you… " he stopped talking the second his phone rang, leaving him scrambling to answer it " I need to answer this. His eyes saddened when he looked at me. He got up hurriedly, picked up his belongings and left without even

saying goodbye. The worst thing is that I could even imagine what his life is like, most of the salud doctors.

were always saying that they had no life left after their profession. I'm starting to feel it too. But I don't have to worry about any emergency calls for the next few days, since I'm on sick leave. I faced the coffee table and started to gather the rest of our dinner little by little, cleaning everything up. I kept the rest of the food that was in the basket, in the fridge so it wouldn't spoil, and went into the bathroom with everything, analyzing my

refection in detail in the mirror. I'm horrible. Now, I could perfectly understand Pedro running out of the house.

without saying goodbye. I looked frighteningly like a hospital. I closed the bathroom door, throwing the rest of my clothes in the basket and went into the shower, trying to regain my dignity under the shower, after having

spent the last few hours in the hospital. My lip trembled, now seeing more clearly the purple stains spread all over my arm. â Why can't I remember? â€" I complained, in the midst of crying. My head started to hurt again.

so I hurried to fnish washing the rest of my head, remembering that today I'll be able to rest a lot and tomorrow I'll be able to take advantage of my sick leave day to review some pending matters. Doctor Marcos'

entire team is focused on Sabrina's case, anyway, my days away could leave me out of this case, if the doctor.

wants. I was very unlucky to have injured myself right after catching a case like that, in my frst year of residency. Unlucky. Unlucky. Unlucky. I fnished wrapping my body in the towel and left the bathroom. I was scared when I came face to face with Pedro, sitting on the sofa, looking me up and down. - What a fright. I screamed, trying to cover myself, stumbling in an attempt to hide. His arm quickly grabbed me around the

waist, with strength, preventing me from falling on my butt. His arms held my body while I recovered from the shock. He adjusted his posture better and put me on my feet again, still holding me. - Are you well? He asked, still very close to my face. I held the towel even tighter. - What do you do here? " I just went outside to

answer a call from the hospital and when I came back you weren't there. I sighed. " I thought you were gone.

" I bit my tongue. " I would say goodbye to you frst. â€" His eyes went down to the top of my towel. My heart accelerated. I let go of his arms, recovering, and ran to the bathroom, closing the door then, putting distance.

between us. I couldn't bear to see a man like that looking at me like that, with me only wearing a towel. Oh my.

" Just a second, I'm going to change. â€" I shouted as I closed the door. â€" No need â€" he shouted back, from the other side â I'm already leaving, I just came to say goodbye to you. I needed to be quick, open the drawers

with everything, looking for something to wear. " I'm leaving I warned, but didn't fnd an answer " Doctor.

Pedro? I called him and he didn't answer. I opened the door slowly, looking around, looking for any sign of him. The house is completely empty. I took a deep breath, before going to the front door and locking it.

Enough scares for today. I walked to the wardrobe and lovingly chose my favorite kitten pajamas and lay down. I needed to rest. My head was still throbbing a little, but I was still able to fall asleep quickly once I laid

down. The air conditioning at minimum kept the room so cool that there was no insomnia in the world that could prevent me from sleeping. A loud knock on the door made me quickly get up and go to it, kicking.

everything that was in the way. I looked through the peephole and huffed, irritated, seeing Pedro here again, so soon. "What does this guy want here so early? " I whispered to myself, already upset about being woken up

like that. I'm not a morning person. Pedro knocked on the door again, making me want to squeeze his face so hard that his brain would melt. Go!!! He smiled when I opened the door. But his smile soon died when his

gaze fell on my clothes. - Did something happen? I yawned. No I looked at him â€" I came to examine you and see how you are. I looked at the clock, surprised that it's seven in the morning and he's up. - So early?

He looked at me, stunned. I usually go to the hospital early, but last night when I left here, I needed to see a patient. Open the door wider for him to enter. â€" Don't stay there, come in. " I gave him passage. - License.

He entered and went straight to the living room. I closed the door and turned to him, catching him looking at my pajamas again." I'm fne, doctor, I just feel my head throb sometimes. â It's from the blow, you hit your.

head really hard and ended up with a slight swelling. " That explains why it still hurts. â€" I complained. Yes

he came closer to me " but other than that, how are you? Did you feel anything else? I said no. " I'm fine.

apart from the headaches. " That's why Alejandro gave you a one-week certifcate, it's the perfect time for the swelling to go down and for you to rest. I smile awkwardly. â You can be sure I will do that â€" I pointed to my bed " I was resting until now. I walked to the closet, looking for a glass, but when I turned around, I was

startled when I caught him staring at my pajamas with some attention again. â€" You can rest assured, I promise to get better soon. His eyes met mine. " I brought this â€" he handed a bag to me and placed it on the

counter, the smell of fresh food flled the place. - What is it? " I held the bag tightly, looking at him. " Your.

lunch and breakfast. Opening the bag Carrefour, discovering what he had brought for me. Wow, there's a lot.

of food here. I looked at him â€" It will last all day. That's the intention he focused on his watch for a few seconds, before looking at me Can I examine you before.
